With Season 4 now fully released, Bridgerton has reigned over Netflix relatively uncontested for the past month and counting. The Regency Era series returned in January to tell the love story of Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and, unsurprisingly, immediately shot to the top of the streamer’s charts, where Part Two has remained globally ever since its premiere back in February. There are few shows capable of challenging Shonda Rhimes‘ much-loved adaptation of Julia Quinn‘s romance novels in the recent aftermath of a new season, considering not one, but two installments rank in the platform’s Top 10 English-language series of all time. However, a spicy, much-anticipated new thriller is starting to make a push for the crown.

Thursday marked the premiere of Vladimir, the miniseries take on Julia May Jonas‘ novel of the same name, starring The Mummy favorite Rachel Weisz. It follows a middle-aged English professor whose life begins unraveling amid a scandal at her college. During this, she becomes consumed by her obsession with one of her young colleagues, the dashing Vladimir (Leo Woodall), despite both of them being married. Regardless of the risks, she’s ready to do anything to make her fantasies a reality, pushing boundaries and bringing secrets to light in the process. In the words of the author herself, it “explores what women feel like they’re allowed to desire, and how they’re allowed to desire.” Judging from the streaming numbers so far, audiences desire the series, too.

Currently, Vladimir sits in second place on the platform, falling just behind Bridgerton and barely coming out ahead of The Night Agent, another of Netflix’s most-watched series that just got renewed for Season 4. Critics have been a bit more mixed on the final product, giving it a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences in general have shown they’re on board for the darkly comedic, seductive, and twisted tale being told through the star-studded cast, including John Slattery, Jessica Henwick, Matt Walsh, Kayli Carter, Miriam Silverman, Mallori Johnson, Tattiawna Jones, and Louise Lambert. Collider’s Taylor Gates lauded Weisz’s comedic performance in particular in her 8/10 review, saying, “By not leaning into its edgier, murkier elements, Vladimir stops short of being a masterpiece, but it’s still a hell of a lot of fun.”

What’s Next for Rachel Weisz After ‘Vladimir’?

Vladimir is only Weisz’s second leading television role, following her acclaimed dual turn in Prime Video’s 2023 series adaptation of David Cronenberg‘s Dead Ringers. Next, the Oscar winner will be heading back to the big screen and to easily one of her most beloved roles as Evelyn O’Connell. Last year, The Mummy fans got a big surprise when it was announced that Ready or Not directing duo Radio Silence would be helming a new sequel to the 1999 adventure film starring Weisz and Brendan Fraser, and it’ll premiere in May 2028.

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett managed to revitalize the Scream franchise after the death of Wes Craven, and they’re looking to do the same with the return to Egypt, which aims to begin shooting in August. In an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff for their sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, Gillett described the challenges of balancing nostalgia with new ideas as they take on such a beloved franchise.

“I feel like we have some muscle memory now. You don’t want to be too beholden to what came before, but you want to be really respectful of it. It’s walking that fine line of giving people and ourselves something new and fresh that stands on its own when it comes out without alienating what came before it, but also without just being nostalgia bait. I think it has to be both of those things.”

Vladimir is now available in its entirety on Netflix. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on all the biggest streaming hits throughout the year.

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Tracker Season 3 Episode 11.With Tracker finally back to a weekly release schedule on CBS, “To the Bone” pushes Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) to the East Coast, which is probably good after all he dealt with on the West Coast last week. In addition to Colter’s latest case, the series expands on Reenie Greene’s (Fiona Rene) law practice with the start of a new subplot that shakes things up. But, as usual, most of the action remains with Colter, who finds himself tracking down a kid with a shady side job that leads to a bigger conspiracy.

‘Tracker’s “To the Bone” Begins With a Missing Person’s Case That’s Not Quite Straightforward

In Queens, New York, Ben Pateras (Ben Krieger), an employee at a local Greek restaurant, Stepho’s, pockets some tip money from the joint and locks up. Leaving the building, he’s met by a seemingly menacing vehicle. And it’s here that Tracker kicks off its latest case. 12 hours later, Colter Shaw arrives at the scene to meet Stath (Joshua Bitton) and Antonia Pateras (Sarah Strange), Ben’s parents and the owners of Stepho’s. They explain to the rewardist that Ben never deposited the $12,000 cash from the restaurant into the bank account, offering $10,000 to Colter if he can find their son. Stath takes our hero to the back lockers, where he explains how Ben has become an activist fighting for different causes. In Ben’s locker, Colter finds a spent cartridge from a taser, something Stath didn’t even know his son owned. Hoping for more clues, Colter and Stath head outside and find Ben’s phone. Upon meeting a homeless woman at the end of the street, they learn that Ben got into the car with a man who matches the description of a former Stepho’s employee: Elias Brawner (Alex Barima). According to Stath, Elias was fired for theft.

Justin Hartley’s Latest ‘Tracker’ Case Is 1 of the Most Moving Yet in New Season 3 Sneak Peek [Exclusive]

The hit CBS series was recently renewed for a fourth season.

Unsurprisingly, Randy (Chris Lee) finds Elias’ rap sheet and sends Colter to his last known address. But as the rewardist travels across town, back at Reenie’s Denver-based law office, she meets with a bulldog of a lawyer named Maxine (Kathleen Robertson) who wants to bring Reenie in on her latest case: a class-action lawsuit against a real estate developer. It may be “grunt work,” as Reenie notes, but Maxine is very persuasive. As she explains it, doing this job first could lead to a mutually beneficial relationship where she recommends Reenie to more high-profile clients. If this isn’t Tracker trying to start another mysterious Leo Sharf (Pej Vahdat) plotline, then we have no idea what to expect next. Hopefully this time it will tie back into the show’s overarching mythology somehow…

Back in New York, Colter arrives at Elias’ apartment and, when nobody answers, does his usual “breaking and entering” thing. It isn’t long before he makes a discovery: tons of fake passports and IDs. Just then, Elias walks in to find Colter there waiting for him. He makes a run for it, but Colter eventually gets to him and demands answers about Ben. According to Elias — who never stole anything from Stepho’s, by the way, he just took the fall for Ben, his business partner — Ben bought a car from him with the money from the restaurant and ran.

This Week’s ‘Tracker’ Dives Deep Into the Criminal Underworld

In Denver, Mel Day (Cassady McClincy Zhang) and Randy exchange their hesitations about the new job Reenie’s considering from Maxine, with Randy the more suspicious of the two. But Colter interrupts this little side plot by asking Randy to break into Ben’s laptop that he lifted from Elias’ apartment — oh, and to track Ben’s new car. (Who is really the tracker on this show?) While the laptop is going to take some time, Randy gets a hit on the car in record time, sending Colter to the junkyard where it was last seen. While there, Colter finds the car and discovers the dead body of a young woman in the trunk. After the police arrive, local NYPD Detective Blake (Sandy Sidhu) confirms the woman’s identity as Nadia Fedosh, who is in the U.S. on a visa. While Blake thinks Ben is responsible, Colter doesn’t believe so due to a second set of tire tracks. But the bloodhound that is Colter Shaw is soon chasing a new lead when Randy — who is basically just a wizard at this point — uses the metadata from Nadia’s fake ID photo to send him to a new address.

It’s here that “To the Bone” takes a bit of a detour, as we follow Reenie in her pre-lawsuit interviews. When the lawyer tries to speak with Simone Arthur, a former employee of the real estate company in question, regarding the class-action lawsuit, she meets with her mother, Josephine (Allegra Fulton), instead. After one of the most awkward moments a lawyer could have outside the courtroom, we learn that Simone died two months prior of cancer. On that downer, Tracker returns to the main event as Colter arrives at the address Randy sent his way, once again breaking in (though, to be fair, this time the door was already ajar). Inside, he discovers a locked basement that contains several floor beds in the same room, in poor condition. But things get a bit more complicated when he stumbles into a room all dressed up and adorned with ring light cameras and other recording devices. It appears to be some sort of human trafficking/illegal webcam operation.

While there, Colter gets Randy to recover a video from one of the loitering webcams where Ben attempts to rescue a girl named Kendall (Andrea Abreu), leading to his capture. Unfortunately for Colter, he’s no longer alone. Although he gets a drop on the thug returning to the scene, a fight endures before Colter gets him in a vice. The hired gun gives up the names of the sister-brother duo Eliza (Jessie Fraser) and Nico Watts (Jon Bryant), the ringleaders of the whole operation, who are currently holding Ben captive.

This Week’s ‘Tracker’ Ends With a Heartfelt Family Reunion and a Promise of More

It turns out that the names of the Watts siblings were all that the dynamic duo of Colter Shaw and Randy (do we still not know his last name?) needed, because their research sends the former to a nightclub called Celebrities. After sneaking in with some hired hands, Colter conveniently makes his way to the basement just in time to stop another goon from assassinating Ben. After Colter dispatches the would-be killer, he tries to get Ben to safety, but he refuses to get out of harm’s way until he can save Kendall. Although he didn’t reveal her hidden location, the Watts’ discovered it anyhow — and are on their way to take her out.

Speeding across town, Colter and Ben do everything they can to get to Kendall in time. As it turns out, Kendall was the one who found Nadia’s body and called Ben to help her move it to avoid being blamed for the Watts’ crimes. It’s because of what she knows that she’s being hunted — and why Ben was nearly killed. But before Colter can arrive, the Watts siblings show up and grab Kendall. However, with some record network television timing on his side, Colter gets to the motel just in time to stumble upon them as they threaten the frightened girl at knifepoint. Nico spots Colter, and the two get into a brief firefight before the rewardist takes his opponent out, saving Kendall before Eliza can use her as leverage. With that, Ben and Kendall are safe, and Colter has secured his latest reward.

Of course, this isn’t where “To the Bone” ends. That evening in Denver, Reenie and Randy discuss the weirdness surrounding the real estate case, with Reenie still unsure whether she’s going to get involved. But she’s certainly interested, at the very least, because she thinks there’s something suspicious going on that ought not to be covered up. How that plotline will progress remains to be seen. Back in New York, Colter returns Ben and Kendall to the former’s parents safe and sound. Ben’s parents are willing to help take Kendall in for the time being, without any question at all. Grateful for his son’s return, Stath repeats an old Greek phrase to Colter: “Ísoun o sotíras,” meaning “You were our savior.”

Pros & Cons

• This week’s mystery is just twisty enough to keep us on our toes.
• Colter and Randy are a solid duo that have really come into their own.
• It’s great to see Reenie back out in the field. Now let’s get her and Colter back in it together.

• If Tracker wants us to care about Mel Day, we need more.
• Giving Reenie something to do is a good thing, but it all felt a bit shoehorned in.

As well-worn as the subgenre is, “what would you do?” thrillers just hit that sweet spot. Combine this with an effectively executed gimmick and genuine moral ambiguity, and we get the surprisingly addictive That Night. Here, the scenario is: what would you do if your sibling called you in the middle of the night and confessed they killed someone? Then, the next episode begins, and the scenario changes as the events are told from a different perspective, catalyzing a series of unreliable narrators and shifting realities all stemming from that night. The kicker? Even the night in question changes.

Created by Jason George (Narcos), this Spanish thriller is an adaptation of a 2021 page-turner of the same name by British author Gillian McAllister and unfolds treacherously, peeling back layers of story and of the family dynamics at the crux of it all. It may begin as a high-stakes thriller about the consequences of an unwitting kill, but That Night evolves into a far more resonant family drama, one that gorgeously and quite painfully questions the worth of family loyalty.

What Is ‘That Night’ About?

In the sunny Dominican Republic, happy-go-lucky Cris (Paula Usero) locks up her recently established animal shelter and picks up a fateful phone call from her youngest sister Elena (Clara Galle). As any good sister should, Cris hears the tears in Elena’s voice and immediately comes to the rescue, finding her car parked on a dirt road near the beach. When she arrives, their third sister, Paula (Claudia Salas), is already there, and they are aghast to see the dead body of a policeman jutting from underneath Elena’s car.

Between arguments, they decide to bury the body and dispose of the evidence, helping Elena, who is also a single mother to a one-year-old, evade prison. In doing so, the sisters’ bond is strained as they’re forced to face the consequences of all the secrets that lurked around that night, ones that ripple and alter their family forever.

‘That Night’ Refreshes Two Overused Techniques in the Thriller Genre

Initially, going into That Night, the show appears to be relying on two clichés to attract attention: the self-insert hook and the Rashomon effect. Admittedly, the combination of the two makes for an engaging, if not gimmicky, watch, but once the novelty wears off halfway through the second episode, where we witness the same narrative beats just from a different perspective, it’s clear that this route isn’t sustainable. They tread the same ground and arrive at the same endpoint while only incrementally shedding light on the central mystery, focusing on characterization instead. However, once the series emerges from this repetitive period, that’s when it really takes off — with Episode 3 rewriting all your expectations.

From the third episode onward, That Night demonstrates the true power of combining these two techniques, as the truth not only changes forms but also how we interact with the show. As we’re forced to consider different perspectives, another “what would you do?” arises, each more morally ambiguous than the previous. It’s as if the show were pushing our boundaries rather than just the characters’, inviting us into the fold on an unnerving level. The plotting itself is relatively straightforward but confident nonetheless, ensuring the POV shifts don’t become disorienting while still maintaining a provocative atmosphere in its questions of fluid ethics and loyalty.

Episode 3 also marks a drastic tonal shift from a fairly standard thriller laced with dark comedy to something with far more weight and devastation. That Night deftly becomes an insightful dissertation on family dynamics, giving each relationship a fair shake and exploring how far fidelity can actually go before it buckles under the weight of guilt, reason, or justice. What remains throughout the series is a steadfast suspense, especially once we grow to distrust the narrators’ retelling of events or as we empathize with their viewpoint and actions. Episodes hit around the 40-minute mark, each tightly woven and generally fast-paced in the emotions and ramifications it explores, rather than the progression of the plot itself.

Family Tensions Are Beautifully Explored in ‘That Night’

The relationships between Paula, Cris, and Elena make up most of That Night‘s meticulous investigation into family and morality, where each actor effortlessly plays into their characters’ idiosyncrasies. Usero makes Cris delightfully naive and impulsive, then achingly tears off the rose-colored glasses in an increasingly conflicted spiral, while Salas gives Paula a dry wit and fierce protectiveness over her sisters that feels authentic and desperate. Galle, however, stands out as Elena, whose custody over her precious daughter has just been threatened by her own actions, sending her into a wretched state that is tantalizing to watch unfold. Their chemistry and credibility as sisters is what makes That Night possible, each vastly different but bound by a tragic childhood and present.

As far as the supporting cast goes, Paula’s wife, played by Nüll García, is probably in the most polarizing role in the story, yet García manages to garner sympathy — a difficult and commendable feat. In a similar position is Pedro Casablanc, who gives a particularly gut-wrenching performance later in the series, contrasting neatly with his character’s initial zealous and disparaging attitude towards the sisters. That Night strikes a balance between highlighting the central triangle while giving platforms for these other characters to shine, a balance that becomes integral to its ability to manipulate the viewer’s perception of how far you’re supposed to go for those you love.

Every character in That Night is deeply flawed in some way or another, and their moments of humanity never necessarily redeem them, but instead paint a holistic, contemplative portrait of a person struggling between their morality and their love. Within this gray area is where the show hits its stride, where its capacity to enthrall using two seemingly tired thriller tropes resides. It may start on uneven ground, but once it truly starts digging up the truths and questions the characters would rather ignore, there’s no going back.

That Night premieres March 13 on Netflix.
