David Fincher’s deal with Netflix has not always yielded the fanfare he was accustomed to with theatrical releases, but some ventures produced the best thrillers of all time. Crime has been a brand that works for the director, going back as far as the ‘90s. Adaptations have been in Fincher’s sweet spot, gaining appreciation for thrillers such as Zodiac and Gone Girl. He reaches even greater heights in the television world.

Fincher used his considerable talents to bring John E. Douglas’ autobiographical book, Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit, to Netflix. The result was Mindhunter, arguably one of the most celebrated original series from the streaming platform. It was also the series that broke fans’ hearts the most. Typical of Fincher’s style, Mindhunter was visually glossy while emotionally gritty. It had everything going for it, which made it all the more heartbreaking when it was pushed into Netflix limbo after two seasons.

‘Mindhunter’ Was Prestige Television at Its Best

Mindhunter had the unfortunate luck of premiering on Netflix. On any other platform, it may have reached the audience it needed to. Though the crime series has a loyal fan base, the viewership wasn’t enough for the streamer to justify its budget. For two seasons, however, Mindhunter redefined what fans could expect from a true crime series.

The show was a heightened interpretation of John E. Douglas’ book, while also strikingly close to reality. Jonathan Groff stars as Holden Ford, the fictionalized version of Douglas, who was a significant part of creating the psychological profiling department of the FBI. A hostage negotiator for the Bureau, Holden becomes dismayed at how crime in the modern era has become so grim. The rise of serial and spree killers baffles law enforcement, which leads Holden to collaborate with Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) in creating a new way of catching killers. With the help of Dr. Wendy Carr (Anna Torv), the team decides to interview convicted killers to create a psychological profile. The Silence of the Lambs writer, Thomas Harris, used Douglas as inspiration for his FBI director character, Jack Crawford.

Mindhunter takes this a step further and grounds the story in reality. The first season portrays the creation of the FBI profiling program and the real killers they interview. Edmund Kemper, Jerry Brudos, and David Berkowitz were some of the many real-life figures who were brought to life with harrowing accuracy. Holden risks a lot to get close to these killers — closer than anyone ever had before. Mindhunter examines how dangerously close Holden gets to these people, particularly Kemper, who acts as a terrifying foil for the FBI agent.

The series resists sensationalizing true crime as so many series have before. Instead, it focuses on ethical and character-driven dilemmas as the profilers enter a new world of crime that is more intense than it has been before. Mindhunter isn’t about putting killers on a pedestal. It shows them unflinchingly, which doesn’t elevate them but demonstrates what monsters they are. The authentic emotion and hyperrealism made Mindhunter unlike anything before, and it has not been replicated since.

If you grew up in the 90s playing first-person shooters on MS-DOS, you probably have fond memories of sneaking in sessions of Duke Nukem 3D. While we never had gaming consoles in my household, my parents had no qualms about me playing PC games like Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein. For reasons I will never fully understand, Super Mario Bros. was forbidden fare, but blasting space demons and zombies with rocket launchers and mowing down Nazis with machine guns was considered a perfectly acceptable way to spend a rainy afternoon.

I think the real reason was that my parents did not want to spend money on a console when we already had a perfectly good computer sitting in the family room. In retrospect, I kind of respect that decision. It meant I had access to adventure puzzle games like The Seventh Guest and Myst, along with the above-mentioned shooters that were absolutely not meant for kids my age.

In 1996, Duke Nukem 3D was everywhere, and I remember watching my dad get hooked on it one weekend in his office. I could hear explosions and laughter through the door, which naturally made me curious. That was my introduction to a game that was wildly inappropriate for a kid, but I was lucky enough to have parents who let me watch R-rated action movies as long as we talked about why certain behaviors on screen were not meant to be copied in real life.

That brings me to the real heart of this article. Why, in the year 2026, do we still not have a Duke Nukem movie? The property feels tailor-made for an R-rated action comedy. It is violent, self-aware, and ridiculous. There are strippers and aliens, pigs dressed as cops, lizard troopers, and catchphrases pulled straight from films like Aliens, Dirty Harry, They Live, Jaws, and Pulp Fiction. Duke Nukem 3D is routinely cited as one of the greatest video games ever made, and the franchise reportedly generated well over a billion dollars by the early 2000s. A faithful adaptation would go absolutely gangbusters.

A Simple Yet Effective Action Hero

A movie based on the Duke Nukem character would not be difficult to pull off because the story is intentionally lean. Duke arrives in Los Angeles aboard his space cruiser, ready for a much-needed vacation. His ship gets shot down by aliens who have invaded and taken over the city, and he is understandably irritated about having to clean up their mess. Armed with his Mighty Foot and an arsenal that includes shotguns, triple-barrelled chain guns, grenade launchers, and pipe bombs, Duke tears through Assault Troopers, Pig Cops, Battlelord Sentries, and Enforcers.

What truly sets Duke Nukem 3D apart from its contemporaries is how interactive the environments are. Duke crawls through air vents, blows apart buildings by hitting detonation switches that are just laying around willy-nilly, kicks fire hydrants and drinks from water fountains to power up, and even tips strippers for a quick show before getting back to work. It is juvenile, excessive, and completely unapologetic. When Duke says he is here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, a quote attributed to Roddy Piper in They Live!, he means it.

The amount of controversy the game attracted from special interest groups over its content is exactly why Duke Nukem would thrive as an R-rated action comedy today. With the right creative team attached, the tone does not need to be reinvented or overhauled at all.

Attempts Have Been Made

There has never been a shortage of interest in bringing Duke Nukem to the big screen. As early as 2001, when the franchise was riding high, Threshold Entertainment attempted to get a feature film off the ground, but it never made it out of development. Another effort surfaced in 2008 from Max Payne producer Scott Faye, though that version stalled just as quickly.

The closest we came to a Duke Nukem movie was in 2018, when Paramount Pictures and Platinum Dunes were having discussions with John Cena to take on the lead role. It was a near-perfect casting choice, but the rights were in transition at the time, and the project was quietly shelved.

The most recent development came in 2022, when Legendary Entertainment announced that it had acquired the rights to produce a Duke Nukem film, with Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz attached. Since then, updates have been scarce, which unfortunately feels par for the course for this franchise.

If it takes another five years for anything concrete to happen, so be it. I just hope Cena is still able to step into the role. Projects like Ricky Stanicky have already proven that his comedic timing is a perfect match for a character like Duke Nukem. The image of him kicking a fire hydrant for health before tossing a pipe bomb into a movie theater and getting frisky with the ladies deserves to exist outside of my imagination.

What this movie needs is simple. Enemies that respawn endlessly, one-liners delivered without restraint, and waves of identical henchmen getting obliterated as Duke reluctantly fights his way back to vacation. This does not need to be high art. It needs to be an ultra-violent alien invasion, solved by the coolest video game character to ever appear on a computer screen.

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for The Rookie Season 8, Episode 6.

The latest episode of ABC’s The Rookie opens up with Celina Juarez (Lisseth Chavez) and Miles Penn (Deric Augustine) heading to a crystal shop a few days before Valentine’s Day. It’s so much fun to see this budding friendship between the new roommates, and the focus on Celina’s mystical beliefs is always entertaining to me. But instead of just stocking up on crystals, Miles accidentally gets a curse placed on him when he stands in front of a disgruntled customer. Celina feels guilty about ducking the spell and allowing the curse to land smack-dab on Miles and the man (who eventually dies in a pretty shocking way), but what makes the episode so captivating is the idea that Miles now has a target on his back, straight from the universe itself. He endures pepper-spraying himself and spider bites (which he’s allergic to), but by the episode’s end, it’s no laughing matter when Miles actually comes close to death.

‘The Rookie’ Presents a Villainous Arsonist, Leading to Serious Danger for Our Crew

While Miles and John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) are on duty, they notice a swan boat on fire in the middle of the lake. Bailey Nune (Jenna Dewan) shows up and identifies that it was a case of arson. This is another time when Bailey somehow inexplicably takes on a new job as an arson investigator and proceeds to tell the cops exactly how to move forward with their investigation. Not only is this incredibly unlikely, but it results in these scenes feeling way more cheesy. The cops also learn that a dry cleaning store has been targeted, leading them to realize that the arson is playing off a theme of Swan Lake. The gang then identifies a possible suspect as Arnold McKenna, but he insists he has an alibi.

Through some detective work, the Mid-Wilshire crew realizes that McKenna actually has a protégé named Mandy Fisk. Firebug Mandy, along with her girlfriend, was setting the fires together as a way to flirt. In a wild escalation, Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) and Celina almost hit a man who runs into their shop. As he walks away, we realize it’s McKenna, and he’s placed an explosive under their vehicle. They park like normal in the station, when suddenly, there’s a humongous explosion. There’s fire everywhere, and multiple injured cops. Celina has a piece of glass in her arm, but she and Lucy are able to rescue as many people as they can, like Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox), who’s trapped under some rubble. Lucy also saves her boyfriend, Tim Bradford (Eric Winter), and Celina rescues Miles, who is almost a goner because of the curse. Luckily, everyone is going to be okay, and McKenna is arrested when he shows up at the hospital. And to everyone’s relief, Celina’s boyfriend, Rodge Bronson (Zander Hawley), pays the crystal shop woman so the curse can be lifted, and everything can go back to normal.

‘The Rookie’ Season 8, Episode 6 Sets Up Glasser Possibly Being Freed

Image via ABC

Last season, we were introduced to one of the creepiest villains ever on The Rookie. Liam Glasser (Seth Gabel) is a tried-and-true serial killer, but it’s looking possible that he might be a free man soon. Nyla is required to sit for a deposition for the case, but from the beginning, Wesley Evers (Shawn Ashmore) warns Nyla that she’ll have to be perfect in order to win against Glasser’s impressive attorney. Nyla’s words end up getting twisted around, so it sounds like she somehow used intimidation and framing techniques while going after Glasser during the initial investigation. By the end of the deposition, Nyla has seemingly done more harm than good. But that’s not the worst part: Wesley admits that it’s mandatory for him to now report Nyla for her less-than-savory police tactics. This causes a conflict between his wife, Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz), who wants to defend her friend. But Wesley points out that he might lose at trial because of Nyla’s actions.

At a DA campaign event for Wesley, one of the parents of Glasser’s victims shows up, disappointed that he’s not getting justice for his child. He runs at Wesley with a knife, but is quickly disarmed (showing that Wesley has picked up a thing or two from Angela). On the bright side, a video of Wesley’s takedown goes viral, providing his campaign with a boost. However, it’s not like everyone should be celebrating just yet. The fact that Glasser might walk is incredibly terrifying, especially because he’s one of the most brutal villains The Rookie has had. Plus, he has a major bone to pick with Nyla, since she’s the one who got him locked up. I’m seriously concerned about her safety going forward, but this is setting up an intriguing storyline that I’m excited to see play out.

There Are Lots of Valentine’s Day Shenanigans in This Week’s Episode of ‘The Rookie’

For some more light-hearted fare, The Rookie also gives us a few Valentine’s Day storylines this week. The main plot is Chenford stressing about what gifts to give each other. Tim’s sister, Genny (Peyton List), tries to help both of them, but I was a bit confused about why she shows up in this particular episode. Ultimately, through a lot of struggles, Chenford’s presents to each other are special and continue to allow the couple to move forward in a healthy way. We also see some developments with Celina’s love life. Rodge has finally returned from his music tour, but Celina accidentally sends the wrong signals to the TID agent (Jorge Diaz) from last week’s episode. He thinks that Celina asks him out, but is promptly struck down (after trying to kiss her), when Celina explains that she’s got a boyfriend. I thought that maybe this guy was going to boot Rodge out, but it seems like The Rookie is deciding to keep this romance going for now.

In more happy couple news, by the episode’s end, Bailey and Nolan make up after their serious fight. Bailey says that she’s giving up on the DC idea, apologizes, and states that Nolan is the love of her life. But Nolan knows how much the job would mean to her, and says firmly that she should take the job. I’m still really hoping that Bailey takes the offer, since her character makes no sense lately. But we’ll have to see where the couple’s path heads next.

New episodes of The Rookie air on Monday nights on ABC, with episodes available to stream on Hulu in the U.S.

Pros & Cons

• The episode featured fantastic special effects with that explosion.
• It’s exciting that Glasser’s storyline is being introduced again.

• Bailey’s character is becoming even more ridiculous.
• The scene in the aftermath of the explosion was too dark to see a lot of the action.

General Hospital 2-week spoilers for February 9 -20, 2026 reveal Portia Robinson‘s (Brook Kerr) baby bombshell and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) raging about something.

General Hospital Spoilers: Valentin & Carly Plot and Gio Comforts Emma

On Monday, February 9th, we are going to see Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) telling Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) that she always knows the right buttons to push. Of course, they’re talking about Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). They’re concerned about a lot of stuff right now.

Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) gets some comfort from Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) when she’s back from France. Emma tells Gio that she had to leave her grandmother Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) behind, and Emma is very upset. She says she lost the grandmother that she knew, and Gio is there for her. Poor Anna has just been gaslit out of her mind.

Plus, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) tells Ava Jerome (Maura West) she knows exactly what she’s selling, and it certainly is an art. Lucy and Ava are going to get into it over Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), which is what Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) was hoping would happen, and it looks like that’s manifesting.

GH Spoilers: Port Charles Police Commissioner Shakeups and Faison’s Return

Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) tells Mac Scorpio (John J. York) and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) that Anna is not going to be coming back as police commissioner. Dante gets an offer also on Monday, and it may be to make his interim role permanent so that he stays on as police commissioner.

Plus, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) has reason to be alarmed, and Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) is going to tell Jason that Anna had a message for him – Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) is alive. This was part of the reason that she’s been on high alert. She and Jason had debated it, and then Anna disappeared for a while.

Something has Jack skeptical while something shocks Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), and both of these may be about Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). Tuesday, February 10th, we have Carly offering Valentin something, and it may be some additional help.

Maybe it’s to stay as long as he needs to since nobody has come looking for him and he’s getting comfortable in her attic. Plus, Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) gets creative about something, and this may be helping Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) sneak out again to go see Valentin.

General Hospital Spoilers: Lucy Vows Vengeance and Alexis Reveals Major News for Jason

Plus, Lucy is out for vengeance. I’m sure this is on Ava, who may embarrass Lucy in front of Sidwell. I don’t think Ava’s going to take it well that Lucy basically said she was a hooker. You know, that’s not a very nice comment she was making. Sidwell is about to have his hands full with these two.

Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has some information for Jason. Alexis may be telling him that right now Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) is staying with her and Danny can see his sister, which would be a huge step forward.

Plus, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) helps a very upset Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) see things differently. He’s upset about Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) and her novel and the way she was talking about the cowboy character. Hopefully, Tracy can convince Cody to calm down, talk to Molly about this, and reconcile with her.

Portia’s Paternity Test Results and Kirsten Storms Returns to GH as Maxie Jones

On Wednesday, February 11th, we’ve got Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) grilling Joss. We could see Trina asking where Josslyn was during the blizzard. I wonder if she’ll try to tell a partial truth and admit that she went out to Wyndemere to see Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), but then he wasn’t there.

Sonny’s giving somebody advice, and I wonder if Dante has told him he’s been offered the police commissioner job. He’s worried about what’s going on with Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), which of course Sonny’s on top of. He’s going to try to frame somebody else for the shooting.

Plus, Lucas gets a shock. That could be from anybody—his boyfriend Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo), Britt, or Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). Somebody gets Charlotte thinking, and we’ll see if it’s Danny. Maybe it’s about Valentin. Hopefully, it’s not about Danny and Charlotte kissing again. They’re cousins, second cousins, but still. Ew. And Jason gives somebody a warning. Maybe that’s going to be Britt, Michael, or Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard).

General Hospital Spoilers: Portia Delivers Big News – DNA Results are In!

Thursday, February 12th, we’ve got Portia giving somebody some big news. I wonder if she’s going to go ahead and do the paternity test because she knows Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) isn’t going to stop badgering her until she does it. The question is, of course, who’s the daddy. With big news, that sounds kind of positive, so maybe it’s Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson).

Meanwhile, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis are discussing their future. I guess we’ll find out soon if a baby is going to be part of it, which is the last thing Portia wants because she does not want Jordan raising any child of hers. Gio gets some advice from Brook Lynn, and this may be about how to support Emma while she’s going through these issues with her grandma Anna.

Plus, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) goes looking for Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening). I wonder if Nathan is going to tell her that they should move forward and shouldn’t ignore their feelings. We may see more kisses soon. That same day, of course, is when Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) wakes up, which means things are going to get really good from now until the end of sweeps on February 25th. This is Kirsten Storms‘ first episode back to General Hospital.

Willow’s Dark Secret Exposed and Brook Lynn Confronts Harrison Chase on GH

Friday, February 13th, Brook Lynn is not holding back. She goes off on somebody, and I suspect it might be Chase. She may have reached her limit with his constant defense of Willow. And now that Willow’s been acquitted, it’s more than that. Chase is determined to prove that Michael shot Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison).

I wonder if Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) might bust Chase to his wife and say that he saw him with his dad Michael’s keys. Britt is in for a shock from Nathan. I wonder if he’s going to admit his feelings for Lulu, which might make Britt’s head explode. We’ve also not really seen Nathan and Britt alone since he came back.

I wonder if we’re going to get some more hints that she has known about his location and what’s been going on with him for these past seven years. Felicia and Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) make an important decision. I’m sure it’s about Maxie. Maybe it’s to go ahead and bring her back to Port Charles.

It could be to warn her that Nathan is suddenly back from the dead. Plus, Michael surprises Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) with a Valentine’s Day date, and they are definitely going to keep heating up. Plus, Lucas opens up to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) on Friday, and it may be some concerns about Marco.

General Hospital February Sweeps: Maxie Learns Nathan West Is Alive

The week of February 16th through the 20th, we’re going to have Willow continue to drug a terrified Drew. He is right to be terrified. We do know from a recent interview with Katelyn MacMullen that Willow is going to get busted. Not right away, but we’ll see if it happens by the end of sweeps. The actress said when she’s caught out, it is going to be the worst moment of her life. Now the question is: is she busted for everything at once—shooting Drew, drugging Drew, and setting up Michael—or do things come out a little at a time?

Maxie has to adjust to coming back from this coma and finding out that Nathan is alive. Spinelli is obviously going to be there supporting her, but they do have to warn her because as soon as she sees James West (Gary James Fuller), he’s going to mention that he finally got to meet his dad. Nevertheless, Maxie’s family is thrilled, especially James and Georgie Spinelli (Lily Fisher). We should see more of the kids, and I’m personally really glad to have Kirsten Storms back.

Lulu & Nathan Struggle on General Hospital

Lulu and Nathan are going to struggle with their feelings now that Maxie is awake. But as long as she sticks with Spinelli reasonably, they can move forward. Maxie still might have some feelings about it. Michael proves that he’s all in with Jacinda but the PCPD is investigating him and things could get awkward.

Wiley may rat out Chase, Gio is there to support Emma, and Jason needs a vial of Britt’s meds ASAP for Brick (Stephen A. Smith) to reverse engineer them, but Cullum’s got them under wraps. We’ll see what kind of plan they have to get the medication.

Anna continues to struggle, and it may be a while before she’s back in Port Charles. Joss may be in danger from Cullum. Carly and Valentin’s friendship keeps growing, and Sonny is working overtime to protect Michael.

Likened to a blend of Yellowstone and True Detective, Netflix’s breakaway hit crime series Untamed made an impressive splash on the streamer in 2025, leading to a deserved second season renewal in late July. Debuting at #1 on Nielsen’s U.S. streaming chart, the series earned an eye-watering 2.1 billion minutes viewed in its first six days, with many praising Eric Bana’s lead performance as Special Agent Kyle Turner, who ended the finale by driving away from his home in Yosemite National Park, ready to embark on a new chapter in his life.

But where will this story go next? Untamed was an unquestionable hit, but many saw this story as a perfectly self-contained tale after the mysterious death of Lucy Cook (Ezra Franky) was solved. Considering the series was also initially planned as a miniseries, renewal news certainly brought smiles to faces but also raised some eyebrows. Thankfully, an exciting new production update has hinted at what fans can expect from Season 2, and it seems the show is going in a bit of a new direction.

As reported recently, Untamed Season 2 will officially take place in Hawaii, with Turner choosing this destination to tackle a new case. A brief logline reads, “The new installment follows Special Agent Kyle Turner (Bana) as he’s called to investigate a mysterious death in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, where local tensions and the volatile, living landscape become an unpredictable force.” Set to consist of six episodes, production is scheduled to begin this Spring. Series co-showrunners Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith are quoted as saying:

“We’re excited to explore the pristine landscapes and cultural identity of a very different national park, and find Turner in a new state of mind, outside the comfort of Yosemite.”

‘Untamed’ Was a Critical Darling

Although not all who watched it were blown away, the common consensus from critics was that Untamed is a triumph. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the series earned a strong, “certified fresh” score of 83%, with audiences delivering a score of 71%. The critics’ consensus on the site reads, “Wrangled by Eric Bana’s steady star power, Untamed‘s solid murder mystery is elevated by the visually sumptuous backdrop of its Yosemite National Park milieu.” For those yet to dive into this thoroughly immersive drama, a synopsis for the first season reads:

“In the vast expanse of Yosemite National Park, a woman’s death draws a federal agent into lawless terrain, where nature obeys no rules but its own.”

Untamed is streaming on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on the second season.
