Available April 3

If Liam Neesons is your shit: The Commuter

Did you see that Liam Neesons movie with that train, though? The one with that big-ass train and Liam Neesons in it? Liam Neesons straight jacked up that train, man. Don’t even get me started on that bit where they try to make him kill a person on that train. Liam Neesons on that train, like, “You stop this train! Now!” You don’t fuck with Liam Neesons! Don’t even try and be messing with Liam Neesons, he will whale on you with your own electric guitar. Available April 3.

Available April 13

If you’re looking for a scare: Ghost Stories

Created by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, connoisseurs of the inexplicable and strange, Ghost Stories is one of the best horror films in recent memory. It stars Martin Freeman, Alex Lawther, and Paul Whitehouse as parts of a triptych, with Nyman himself tying the pieces together. If you have any doubts as to the film’s British pedigree, just know that Nyman is a longtime collaborator of Derren Brown’s, and Dyson is one of the League of Gentlemen. Available April 13.

Available April 30

If you’re looking for a sci-fi series to binge: Counterpart

Starz has a surprisingly great batting average when it comes to original programming, and Counterpart is one of their best. It’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Fringe liberally mixed in, and features two J.K. Simmons-es for the price of one. The show posits a world in which a parallel Earth exists, and delves into the heightened Cold War politics that go along with it. If it’s any incentive to catch up before the second season, Get Out’s Betty Gabriel has just been announced to be joining the cast. Available April 30.
