There’s a specific kind of thriller that starts by instantly removing the hero’s certainty. Not gradually or symbolically, but all at once. Phone numbers cease to work. Familiar faces go blank. What begins as an ordinary, recognizable life becomes something else entirely, almost overnight. Like The Fugitive and later The X-Files, the series builds tension from that loss of stability. But Nowhere Man pushes further, raising the possibility that even the main character’s memories may not belong to him.

Nowhere Man premiered in 1995 and centers on photojournalist Thomas Veil, played by Bruce Greenwood, with a tired, searching focus that never feels overstated. Veil wakes up to find his identity gone, his wife doesn’t recognize him, his bank accounts are inaccessible, and his closest friend is dead. The only thing he still has is a photograph that someone clearly wants to be erased, and before he can find out why, he must first prove he exists.

In ‘Nowhere Man,’ Identity Is Gone Before You Understand What Happened

“Absolute Zero” makes its intentions clear from the start. Veil steps away from dinner briefly, and when he comes back, his wife has vanished, and the staff treats him like a stranger. The confusion only deepens when he returns home and finds another man living there. His financial access is gone. His identity no longer holds weight. The episode moves quickly, stripping away every point of certainty Veil relies on.

The paranoia increases exponentially once Veil realizes his erasure is not random. It is connected to a photograph he took overseas, an image that captures something that powerful people want erased. The negatives become his only leverage and his only protection. He spends the rest of the series guarding them, even as it becomes unclear whether they contain the truth or another carefully constructed lie. Episode 2, “Turnabout,” reinforces how fragile identity becomes once systems decide you no longer exist. Veil is captured by the same organization hunting him and forced to impersonate a psychiatrist treating another victim whose identity has also been erased. Seeing someone else trapped in the same situation removes any illusion that this is a mistake. It is a process, and Veil is only one piece inside it.

What separates Nowhere Man from simpler chase thrillers is how often Veil faces choices that complicate his survival. In “Paradise on Your Doorstep,” he uncovers a secret community made up entirely of people whose identities have been erased. They pose as allies, providing safety and a sense of belonging. But their leader eventually pressures Veil to hand over the negatives, forcing him to question whether resistance has its own hierarchy of control.

That sense of isolation deepens in “You Really Got a Hold on Me,” where Veil meets Gus Shepard (Dean Stockwell), a man who has been running from the same conspiracy for decades. Shepard shows him the long-term cost of this existence. The running never stops, and survival becomes routine rather than victory. Veil sees his possible future reflected in someone who has already lost everything.

The show also understands the psychological toll of constant doubt. In “Something About Her,” Veil is drugged and manipulated into believing he has fallen in love with a woman who is actually part of the conspiracy. His emotions feel real even as the situation is fabricated. The episode does not rely on action to create tension. It lets uncertainty do the work.

The Sci-Fi Twist Makes Reality Itself Unreliable

What truly sets Nowhere Man apart is its gradual transition from a conspiracy thriller to science fiction. Early episodes hint at surveillance and manipulation. Later ones suggest something far more invasive. In “Stay Tuned,” Veil infiltrates a small town where residents are subtly controlled through media exposure and psychological conditioning. The environment looks normal, but behavior reveals something engineered beneath the surface.

The series takes a more invasive turn in “Through a Lens Darkly,” when Veil is drugged and made to revisit pieces of his past. The memories appear real, but something about them feels off. He begins to understand that even his personal history isn’t beyond reach. It can be manipulated like any other part of his life. This development changes the entire premise. Veil isn’t only fleeing from people trying to kill him. He’s escaping those who can alter his perception of reality itself. That makes every answer questionable, including the ones he discovers.

‘Nowhere Man’s Final Revelation Changes Everything

When “Gemini” arrives, the show shifts the ground beneath Veil one last time. New revelations force him to reevaluate assumptions he’s relied on since the beginning. The photograph that once anchored his search no longer feels like the full story. Certainty becomes harder to hold onto.

The finale doesn’t offer resolution so much as expansion. Veil realizes his fight isn’t confined to a single moment or a single explanation. He’s left moving forward, still searching, still refusing to disappear — even as the scope of what he’s up against becomes harder to define.

Nowhere Man never became a mainstream success, but the tension it created still resonates. It moves with control, allows the unknown to linger, and never pretends everything will be explained. It takes The Fugitive‘s chase structure and X-Files’ and reworks it around a more unsettling question — not whether the hero can prove his innocence, but whether he can prove he was ever truly himself at all.

White lies are a necessary evil when you have kids. Sometimes you have to lie about how delicious carrots are so they get enough vitamin A, or tell them the doctor isn’t about to give them a booster shot even though they’re hiding the needle behind their back, waiting for the right moment to jab. 2025’s Don’t Tell Larry, though, shows just how quickly a white lie can spiral out of control in the adult world, when the person you’re trying to deceive is a situationally aware but seemingly aloof coworker who’s about to steal your promotion out from under you.

What starts as a small fib snowballs when an ever-increasing body count latches onto a minor misunderstanding made in the name of professional self-preservation. Saving face at work is fine in theory, and something we’ve all done at some point in our careers. Don’t Tell Larry has an incredible amount of fun showing how catastrophically wrong things can go in a dog-eat-dog corporate setting, escalating to absurd levels once the authorities get involved.

Susan Just Wanted Her Promotion

Don’t Tell Larry wastes no time showing you exactly who Susan (Patty Guggenheim) is, and how her personality quickly backfires at the office. She’s earned Employee of the Year eight consecutive times, which makes her the obvious frontrunner for the soon-to-be vacated CEO role when her boss, Bruce Waters (Ed Begley Jr.), announces his retirement. Susan and Bruce have a solid professional relationship, and she’s patiently waiting for the corporate torch to be passed so she can finally take over.

Her life takes a sharp turn when Larry (Kiel Kennedy) is hired, changing her trajectory overnight. Larry is the quintessential weird office guy you feign friendliness with in the hope that if he ever snaps and goes on a rampage, he’ll spare you. When a surprise retirement party is thrown for Bruce, Susan makes the executive decision not to invite Larry. What she doesn’t realize is that Larry is actually Bruce’s son, and Bruce already plans to hand the company over to him as a way of making peace for abandoning him years ago.

Larry’s Ever-Present Menace 

Rightfully peeved about being passed over, Susan throws a rock through Bruce’s office window, weakening the glass. Later, when Larry shoves Bruce during a confrontation, the already compromised window gives way, sending him to a fatal plunge. After Bruce falls to his death, Susan enlists her friend and coworker Patrick (Kenneth Mosley) to help cover up her involvement, but Larry is onto them.

To make matters worse, Detective Kim Hammer (Dot-Marie Jones) suspects foul play, though she can’t quite piece together what happened until she reviews the security footage, which has conveniently gone missing. 

Meanwhile, more violent workplace incidents pile up, leading to additional deaths that Susan is convinced Larry is responsible for. Larry, never losing his odd charm, plays suspiciously unaware of the carnage that follows him, even as it becomes obvious to Susan and Patrick that he’s eliminating coworkers in increasingly gruesome fashion. Detective Kim, however, has every reason to believe Susan had something to do with the inciting incident that started this entire mess.

A Perfect Comedy Of Errors

The lesson in Don’t Tell Larry is simple: sometimes it’s better to tell the truth, even if the short-term consequences feel life-altering. Had Susan not lied about the party, Larry might not have seen her as an adversary and might not have retaliated after discovering the deception. Or maybe everything would have unfolded the same way. Bruce had already chosen Larry as his successor, and Susan’s jealousy was bound to surface eventually, likely leading to a similar disaster.

Half the fun in Don’t Tell Larry comes from watching forced pleasantries in a corporate white-collar setting peel back to reveal just how cynical everyone really is. Between the backstabbing, both literal and figurative, you discover who your true friends are. Watching Susan and Patrick scramble to talk their way out of being implicated in a string of murders is a twisted version of friendship, even if their loyalty only makes things worse.

Right now, Marvel fans are hyped for Avengers: Doomsday, eager to see their favorite characters fight the good fight against evil once more. Robert Downey Jr. is inexplicably returning to play Doctor Doom, but the real draw of this film is arguably Chris Evans. He retired from being Captain America back in Avengers: Endgame, but he is suiting up again for Doomsday, and MCU fans around the world are itching to see their favorite star-spangled superhero kicking butt and taking names.

But if you want to see Chris Evans leading a fight against the greatest evil humanity has ever faced, you don’t have to wait for Avengers: Doomsday to hit theaters. Snowpiercer (2013) is a movie where the Captain America actor leads what’s left of humanity in a fight for equality against a tyrant determined to rule the world with an iron fist. The revolution will be televised, and all you have to do is stream this film (from Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho) for free on Tubi!

He Can Do This All Day

The premise of Snowpiercer is that Earth has been forced into a new ice age by science gone wrong, forcing what is left of humanity to live in a giant train that never stops moving. Unfortunately, the train segregates everybody by class, allowing the rich elite to live a life of luxury at the front of the train while the poor live in abusive squalor in the back of the train. Eventually, one man decides to kickstart a kind of people’s revolution, leading a growing army of disgruntled supporters towards the front, where they are intent on forcing the man in charge of this railway dystopia to finally face justice.

Snowpiercer is a film where some of Hollywood’s greatest actors are taking the same train: Tilda Swinton (best known for We Need To Talk About Kevin) plays an evil minister intent on cutting this rebellion off at its knees. Meanwhile, Ed Harris (best known for The Truman Show) plays the Big Bad of the movie, a transportation magnate who holds the fate of all humanity in his conniving little hands. Finally, John Hurt (best known for Alien) plays mentor to the main character, encouraging a rebellion that could completely change what’s left of the world.

Captain America Like You’ve Never Seen Him Before

The main character is played by Chris Evans (best known for The Avengers), who gives his best non-MCU performance in this dystopian thriller. He never feels like a generic action hero, and you can feel the tortured humanity inside his character rage with every swing of the axe. The character isn’t as squeaky clean as his famous Marvel hero, but in his relentless fight for justice and equality, Evans’ Snowpiercer character channels the best of what made Captain America great.

Snowpiercer was a solid hit at the box office, earning $86.8 million against a budget of $40 million. Despite this success, the film never got a proper sequel, and director Bong Joon-ho would later go on to helm the Academy Award-winning horror masterpiece Parasite. However, he still found time to executive produce the Snowpiercer television series, which would go on to be nominated for a Primetime Creative Arts Emmy.

A Thriller That Never Phones It In

When Snowpiercer premiered, it hit professional reviewers with all the force of a grain hurtling through the post-apocalypse. On Rotten Tomatoes, it had a rating of 94 percent, with critics lauding the film for its ambitious scope and action-packed execution. They particularly praised the film as an alternative to the effects-driven blockbusters that made Chris Evans a household name, so it’s particularly pleasing to see him get back to basics in a movie that dares to redefine the entire sci-fi/action genre.

Part of what makes Snowpiercer so magical is that it is directed by Bong Joon-ho, who has mastered the art of creating movies with a message that never feels overly preachy. His Best Picture winner Parasite, for example, is a movie you can enjoy for its trenchant social commentary or as a taut thriller whose tension can be cut with a knife. Snowpiercer works the same way: the film clearly has plenty to say about class consciousness and economic oppression, but it’s entirely possible to just enjoy this as a fast-paced action movie where Captain America finally starts fighting dirty.

Given the combination of a talented director and veteran actors, it won’t surprise you that Snowpiercer is full of unforgettable performances. Even better, these famous faces fully disappear into their roles, their celebrity status never disrupting the immersive nature of this subversive film. This is a movie where class warfare comes to life in the most brutal possible way, and these actors help pack an insane amount of worldbuilding into a runtime of just over two hours.

The Best Worldbuilding Since Mad Max: Fury Road

Speaking of worldbuilding, this movie does such a great job of fleshing out this fictional universe that it helped inspire four seasons of a fan-favorite television show. This allows franchise newbies the best of both worlds: if you love the movie enough, you can dive into the TV show and maybe even the graphic novel (Le Transperceneige) the entire franchise is based on. Alternatively, you can enjoy the film as a singular experience, one in which Chris Evans and other big names give some of the most impressive performances of their careers.

Whenever you’re ready to be impressed, you can stream Snowpiercer for free on Tubi. It’s a crowd-pleasing film with both practical effects and beautiful visuals, and it has more commentary on economics and politics than you’ll get out of an entire semester of Political Science. Best of all, it’s perfect for Marvel fans who want to whet their appetite for Avengers: Doomsday with the most intense movie that Chris Evans has ever made!

Every time I visit Copenhagen, I always get a ton of fashion inspiration, but my most recent winter trip was the best one yet. In the frigid Danish capital, people still managed to stay stylish and warm thanks to stunning fur fashion designs. Almost every woman stepped outside wearing some sort of fur — I saw so many coats, hats, scarves, hoods and more.

In a country where the winters feel extra long and frigid, the Danes manage to stay peppy with their furry fashions. So take some notes from Copenhagen dwellers and upgrade your winter wardrobe with the chicest faux fur pieces that are plush, warm and ridiculously stylish.

1. Top Pick: This extra fluffy overcoat could pass for real fur thanks to the nuanced shading. Because of this, each piece looks one-of-a-kind.

2. Make a Statement: Along with neutral-hued coats, the most fashionable girls in Copenhagen opted for loud cheetah prints — just like this trendy long coat — to show off their versatile sense of style.
