“The Zone of Interest” (PG-13) – After taking home Best International Feature Film and Best Sound at this year’s Oscars, Jonathan Glazer’s historical drama is out now on streaming for viewers to watch at home. Taking place in 1943 during World War II, the film follows commandant Rudolf Hoss and his family, who live alongside the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. While the Hosses enjoy their tranquil life in their beautiful home, the sound of furnaces and gunshots can be heard just beyond their garden wall, and camp prisoners tend to their household chores. Christian Friedel (“Babylon Berlin”) and Sandra Huller (“Anatomy of a Fall”) lead this chilling film. (Max)

“Sugar” (TV-MA) – In this new mystery-drama series, Irish actor Colin Farrell (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) dons an American accent to become John Sugar, a private investigator in Los Angeles. Known for his razor-sharp instincts, great sense of style and blue Corvette, Sugar gets put on a case regarding the disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the granddaughter of a Hollywood producer. But when Sugar starts inching his way closer to the truth of Olivia’s disappearance, more and more people try to throw him off the case. The first two episodes are out now, with subsequent episodes releasing every Friday. (Apple TV+)
“Fallout” (TV-MA) – Based on the role-playing video game of the same name, this apocalyptic drama series takes place 219 years after nuclear technology destroyed what we know as Earth. The war led humans to take shelter in underground bunkers known as “Vaults” in order to survive. But a Vault dweller named Lucy finally decides to leave her bunker to find out what the world has come to in the past two centuries. Finding herself in a post-apocalyptic version of Los Angeles, Lucy encounters mutants, bandits and all kinds of destructive technology in the remnants of our old world. Ella Purnell (“Star Trek: Prodigy”) and Walton Goggins (“Invincible”) lead this action-packed, eight-episode series premiering April 11. (Amazon Prime Video)
“Vanderpump Villa” (TV-MA) – Lisa Vanderpump couldn’t get enough of the smashing success of her show “Vanderpump Rules,” which took the internet by storm last summer when the show was rocked with a cheating scandal called “Scandoval.” The British restaurateur has decided to start a new unscripted show, which follows her carefully picked staff at the Chateau Rosabelle in France. The staff work in varied positions, like chefs, servers, housekeepers and mixologists, and get the ultimate experience by enjoying everything the French countryside has to offer. Don’t think that just because they’re in a luxury villa, there won’t be any drama – if anything, Vanderpump truly thrives off it! The first four episodes are out now. (Hulu)
