If you enjoy mysteries intertwined with family drama and emotion, then you will love The Last Anniversary (2025), based on the novel by Liane Moriarty.

I really enjoyed the first season of the British TV series, Outrageous, which follows the scandal-plagued Mitford family, especially the 6 sisters: Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah.

In this romantic dramedy, Naveen and Jay meet, date, fall in love, and plan to marry. But Naveen has never brought anyone home to meet his South Asian family, and especially not a white man. Full of laugh-out-loud and tender moments, misunderstandings and redeeming actions, A Nice Indian Boy (2024) will tug on your heartstrings while calling back to classic Bollywood tropes.

Miss Scarlet and the Duke, PBS Mysteries, offers a captivating blend of mystery, intrigue, and Victorian-era charm that will keep you intrigued throughout the series. Set in 19th century London, the series follows the fearless Eliza Scarlet, who defies societal norms to become London's first female private detective.

If you loved the award-winning Korean movie Parasite (2019), then you should check out the Korean drama series Little Women (2022) on Netflix. It’s a rollercoaster of suspense and mystery following the dramatic lives of a group of sisters in Seoul, Korea. Similar to Parasite, it tells the story of a poor family who become embroiled in the lives of a powerful, wealthy family.

Everyone knows Michael Jordan, the “Be Like Mike” ad, and his Air Jordan shoes. But how many know the story of how the latter came into existence? Based on a true story and set in 1984, Air (2023, rated R) goes behind the scenes at a struggling Nike to show how salesman Sonny Vaccaro (Matt Damon) courted the Jordan family and how the deal revolutionized brand-athlete partnerships.

I finally read Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to the hype, but it did, and more. What a thrilling story! The story’s setting and main character were fascinating, and the way Owens unfolded the mystery was perfect – I didn’t want to put the book down. When I finished the book, I had one of those “Wow” moments.

Why bother with people when you could have the perfect companion? In a world where personal computers (or persocoms) have been given human form, that is the question that Chobits - the beautifully drawn, thought-provoking science fiction story by CLAMP - explores.

Crash Landing on You (2019) is a South Korean television series about Yoon Se-ri, a wealthy South Korean businesswoman who gets into a paragliding accident and lands in North Korean territory, where she is discovered by Ri Jeong-hyeok, a North Korean soldier who agrees to hide her until he can help her get back home. Despite their cultural differences and the danger that faces them both if Se-ri should be discovered by North Korean authorities, the two begin to fall in love.
