‘From’ Season 4, ‘Unchosen’, ‘Apex’ and ‘Stranger Things – Tales from ’85: Streaming This Week
Be careful what you wish for; you just might get what you wanted… and then some. That’s no empty boast, going by at least two series premiering this week. One’s Korean, the other is in Kannada. And you have to wonder why the same idea appeals to audiences worlds apart.
That aside, returning favourite “From” is in fine form as it starts off the week. MInotaurs, zombies, villainous hedgehogs and serial killers are on offer alongside content on cults. And a few animation series for good measure.
Check out the spread…
