The only TV episode in history to hold a perfect 10/10 on IMDb(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Think of all the legendary TV episodes that you’ve seen, the ones that left you breathless, that had you pacing the room, that made you sit in stunned silence as the credits rolled. With so many masterpieces gracing our screens, it seems almost impossible that only one episode in television history has achieved a flawless 10/10 score on IMDb.

Several Iconic Shows But No 10/10

Even in the golden age of TV, where every other week a new ‘masterpiece’ drops, nothing else has quite managed to achieve perfection.

Just a few days back, Netflix’s Adolescence landed with a bang, earning a stellar 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, yet its highest-rated episode? An 8.6. Over on Apple TV+, the much-lauded Severance continues to mesmerize audiences, but even its best episode from the latest season caps out at 9.4.

Michael Fassbender has enjoyed an extraordinary career, bridging decades of storytelling. Unfortunately, his productivity generally declined in the 2020s. After the critically panned X-Men: Dark Phoenix(2019), the actor stepped away from Hollywood for several years. He instead took time to focus on his career as a professional racer. Consequently, he did not star in a single movie between 2020 and 2022. This was a natural decision during the pandemic, as Hollywood faced hardship during that period. Still, there was no evidence that Fassbender would have the chance to return due to insurance issues.

Fassbender did not stay away forever, thankfully. The actor returned to the screen in 2023 for The Killer and Next Goal Wins and also starred in Kneecap in 2024. These movies have been coming slowly compared to the rest of Fassbender's career. He was previously capable of starring in three films in one calendar year. Now, he appears in only one or two each year,...

In the eclectic career of the 51-year-old British actor, Stephen Graham has a filmography unlike any other. From arthouse projects like Steven Spielberg’s Band of Brothers and Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York to commercial blockbusters like Pirates of the Caribbean and Venom 3, Graham has done it all and then some.

Now, the Peaky Blinders actor is reuniting with the show’s creators on a new Disney+ series that is all brute strength and gritty bare-knuckle drama in a period setting. The series, titled A Thousand Blows, has not been easy on the actor, considering the intense training regimen that he put himself through – but the result speaks for itself.

Cinesite, a leading independent visual effects and animation studio collective, has received a long-term funding package worth $215 million to support continued operations, technological innovation and strategic expansion.

The London-based group said financing — a series of transactions — was led by its longtime bankers NatWest alongside Barclays and Santander. Its shareholders, including family office Gryphion, supported the overall package of senior and junior debt and equity lines.

The financial commitment “underscores the company’s ambitions and confidence in the entertainment sector,” the company said, and “empowers Cinesite to overcome the challenges posed by recent industry disruption that has affected the entire sector.”

Disruption is right. The funding comes weeks after storied VFX giant Technicolor filed for bankruptcy in the UK and France and shuttered its U.S. operations, including The Mill. The leadership team and much of that creative staff joined forces with Dream Machine FX on a new venture called Arc Creative.

Tony Etz, a longtime CAA agent, died Monday in Los Angeles after a long battle with cancer. He was 64.

Etz joined CAA in 1994 as an agent in the television department, where he served in various leadership roles. He represented leading writers, directors, actors and producer, and was involved in packing series including “Lost,” “House,” “Big Little Lies,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Rescue Me,” “Brothers and Sisters,” “Band of Brothers” and MTV’s “Jackass.”

He married fellow television agent Nancy Axelrode in 1999, and their son Alex was born in 2001. Alex Etz joined CAA as a mailroom employee after graduated from the University of Michigan.

Tony Etz, who executive produced Brian Dennehy-starring telefilms before serving as a CAA agent for 30 years, died Monday in Los Angeles after a long battle with cancer, the agency announced. He was 64.

During his CAA tenure that began in 1994 as an agent in the TV department and ended as co-head of packaging, Etz represented writers, directors, actors and producers and was involved with such hit series as Lost, House, Big Little Lies, Grey’s Anatomy, Rescue Me, Brothers and Sisters, Band of Brothers and Jackass.

Survivors include his wife of 25 years, fellow CAA agent Nancy Axelrode, and their son, Alex, who recently got a job in the agency mailroom after graduating from the University of Michigan to work alongside his folks.

Tony Etz, a 30-year veteran of the Creative Artists Agency, passed away yesterday, March 10, in Los Angeles, after a long battle with Chordoma, a rare type of cancer. He was 64.

Agenting was a second career for Illinois native Etz, an English major from Knox College with a Mfa from University of Iowa’s Writers’ Workshop who was a contributor on the 1989 book Off-Hollywood Movies: A Film Lover’s Guide. He started in the made-for-television movie business, co-executive producing/executive producing two miniseries and five telefilms, including NBC’s successful Jack Reed MOWs, in the early 1990s before joining CAA in 1994 as an agent in the Television department.

In a blockbuster streaming deal, Korean streamer Coupang Play has inked a major content partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery that will bring some of HBO and Max’s most acclaimed series to Korean viewers starting March 21.

The agreement delivers current and future seasons of premium titles including “Game of Thrones,” “Succession,” “House of the Dragon” and “Euphoria,” alongside fan favorites such as “Sex and the City” and “Band of Brothers” to Coupang’s streaming platform.

Classic Hollywood star Ingrid Bergman once said, "A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous." The Swedish actress knows a thing or two about the power of a kiss, as she was one half of one of the most iconic kisses in cinematic history when she and Humphrey Bogart starred in "Casablanca." However, as powerful as a kiss can be, sometimes the act of kissing may be a bridge too far for an actor behind a given character.

Regardless of what a script says a character is meant to do, sometimes there are certain things that an actor will refuse to do. For whatever reason, they may decide that they don't want to do their own stunts or have any nude scenes, as tasteful as they might. And there have been plenty of instances where stars have chosen not to participate in kissing scenes as well.

The HBO series Band of Brothers paid tribute to the American soldiers who were in the Second World War through the eyes of Easy Company’s 101st Airborne Division. Produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, who continued their association after Saving Private Ryan, the series was widely appreciated for its focus on American troops.

While the show was instrumental in highlighting the troops’ contributions and sacrifice, it was not entirely historically accurate. Based on the book by Stephen Ambrose, who reportedly collected testimonials and interviews from Easy Company veterans, many elements of the series took poetic licence, Tom Hanks signing off on it.

How about this for a match made in heaven: Pierce Brosnan gets to play a crime boss with Tom Hardy as his fixer in MobLand, a new Paramount+ gangster drama from producer Guy Ritchie, who also directs multiple episodes of the new series. The first trailer has been released, and it looks like it's going to be a real treat for fans of all involved.

Created by Ronan Bennett, MobLand follows Hardy as Harry De Souza, a loyal fixer for the Harrigan family, led by Brosnan's Conrad and Helen Mirren's Maeve. The trailer sets up the characters well, with Conrad noting that while Maeve is the family's matriarch, she's "the most dangerous of them all." The preview isn't short on blood and violence, something Ritchie is no stranger to, and it certainly looks like the exact type of show we love to see from everyone involved. We'll find out...

There’s something grossly alluring about the grime and gore of World War I. The world’s first massively mechanized battlefields killed around 40 million people and left countless more permanently changed. It brought forth massive innovations in both civilian and military technology while wholesale destroying immense swathes of critical farmland. Yet, driven by an innate sense of morbid curiosity, audiences still clamor for World War I films.

People crave the inherent pathos of the so-called “War to End All Wars,” and immersion reigns supreme. It’s certainly not as popular as World War II in cinemas, but the former Great War still commands attention. Its brutality is its appeal, and its films epitomise a widespread fascination with mortality and pain. While many of the war’s most acclaimed cinematic spawns cling to heart-stopping sound design and relentless violence, one stands out for its surprising and seemingly impossible restraint.

It’s the final week of the first month of the year, and 2025 has already been loaded with 20+ new horror movies in theaters and at home. This week, eight more newcomers have arrived!

Here’s all the new horror that released January 27 – January 31, 2025!

Genre favorite Ted Raimi (Evil Dead II, Candyman) must choose between financial ruin or murder in Failure!, which was impressively shot in a continuous 87-minute take.

The film is available now on Digital from Red Water Entertainment.

Ted Raimi stars as James, a devoted family man and business tycoon facing a dire ultimatum: resolve a crushing bank debt within an hour or risk losing his business. With greedy associates, deceitful friends, and haunting ghosts from his past closing in, James is pushed to the brink, faced with the unthinkable choice between financial ruin or murder.

"I have bites too. They're everywhere." A newfound romance takes a nightmarish turn for a young man who falls in love with a vampire in the new film Drained. Directed by Peter Stylianou and Sean Cronin and filmed on location in London, Drained is now available on VOD platforms via Level 33 Entertainment, and we have an exclusive clip for Daily Dead readers to sink their teeth into!

Tom Hanks is known as one of the nicest people in Hollywood, having worked as a leading man for several decades. Aside from some of his critically acclaimed roles, Hanks is known for co-creating the war drama miniseries Band of Brothers. However, while directing one episode of the series, Hanks rejected one actor for allegedly having dead eyes.

The actor in question Connor Ratliff ended up starting a podcast based on the experience. Ratliff eventually managed to get Hanks as a host on his podcast, where the actor shared his side of the incident leading to the young actor’s firing. Hanks understandably apologized to Ratliff for the incident and here is how the interaction between the two went down.

Band of Brothers has always remained on the peripheries of great television – critically revered but never quite as celebrated as other HBO projects like Game of Thrones or The Sopranos. However, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’s sensational work isn’t just another war story filled with gritty realism and unfiltered horrors of war.

The HBO miniseries defied genres and shifted the preconceived standards of television to establish a tale that surpassed expectations and redefined storytelling. Band of Brothers proved that fiction concedes when compared to the horrors of reality itself, especially when it comes to the subjects of blood, trauma, doom, and death.

And one member of the Easy Company in the real-life Band of Brothers knew it all too well.

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, now is the perfect time to watch all your favorite romantic horror movies. A new film this year that falls under that particular umbrella is British filmmakers’ Peter Stylianou and Sean Cronin’s London-based feature vampire film Drained, which has been acquired by Level 33 Entertainment and will receive a North American release on VOD via Amazon, Apple TV and Fandango at Home, among other premium digital channels.

While you wait, sink your fangs into the exclusive trailer for Drained below.

Co-directed and produced by Cronin and Peter Stylianou from a screenplay by the latter, the supernatural horror film – which premiered at the prestigious Screamfest Horror Film Festival in October 2024 – was filmed in London, England, and is a Magnificent Films/House 54/Rg Films co-production.

It’s been 11 years since True Detective season 1 premiered on HBO, and the influential Max-streaming series remains one of the best TV outings of all time. HBO has long gained a reputation for being the home of prestige drama TV, with ‘90s-’00s hits like The Sopranos, Band of Brothers, and The Wire paving the way for 2010s phenomenons like Game of Thrones, Succession, Chernobyl, and, of course, True Detective. The success of HBO’s best TV shows has inspired attempts to recreate their magic with similar concepts or franchise expansions, with some proving more difficult to replicate than others.

True Detective season 1 is one such show that HBO has tried to capitalize on the popularity of since 2014, but has struggled to find that lightning in a bottle again. Created by Nic Pizzolatto, True Detective season 1 is led by Matthew McConaughey as Rust Cohle and Woody Harrelson as Marty Hart,...

Netflix is not just a great producer of original content. Sure, many of the original series of the streamer are terrific, but are they immortal? Empire put together a list of the best series ever in 2024, but how many of them can you see on your favorite streamer?

To be fair, Empire's list is of top 100 shows ever. We are just focused on the top 20 here. Once you get past that, the ranking is even more arguable.

But if you want to try and see if the site is correct, you could stream several of the shows on your favorite subscription service. That would be Netflix, obviously. So here is what you can binge-watch in the next week.

The one-season series feels more like an adjunct to Saving Private Ryan, and that makes sense.

While Goosebumps: The Vanishing might not bring back the cast of the show’s first season, it does feature plenty of familiar faces. The success of 2023’s Goosebumps TV series means that viewers are getting another season of the horror anthology show in 2025. However, Goosebumps: The Vanishing will not pick up where Goosebumps season 1’s cliffhanger ending left off. Instead, Goosebumps: The Vanishing tells an entirely new, separate story starring a new set of teens and older supporting stars. This may dismay fans of season 1, but it is exciting for lovers of the Goosebumps franchise.

Masters of the Air, the excellent follow-up series to one of HBO's best shows, Band of Brothers, is free to watch this weekend, which means everyone should check it out. Released in 2001, Band of Brothers was a groundbreaking series. Created by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, it felt like a spiritual successor to Saving Private Ryan at the time, and there have been three Band of Brothers shows so far, focusing on different parts of World War II.

The Air Force-focused Masters of the Air is the latest Band of Brothers follow-up, that premiered early in 2024. For anyone wanting more WWII, prestige miniseries, Masters of the Air is perfect, and given that it will be free to watch the first weekend of January, there is no better time to check it out. Not only does it do a good job of standing on its own, but it continues the legacy...

When Band of Brothers was released, it came just three years after the dominant success of Saving Private Ryan. The show debuted in 2001 and showed an extended and quality look at the reality of life in the heart of World War II. Easy Company's journey quickly became a mainstay on HBO, as the prestige show drew audiences in droves. Since its release, it has remained in a class of its own and continues to influence war movies and shows today. Yet, despite originally being one-of-a-kind, other shows have joined its universe.

Stephen E. Ambrose's book inspired Band of Brothers, but the story of Easy Company could not be the end of such a brilliant series. Masters of the Air and The Pacific both debuted in the aftermath. The Pacific premiered in 2010, while Masters was released on Apple TV+ in 2024. All were based on real-world American warriors during World War II,...

The best TV shows on Max offer an incredible collection to help ring in the first month of the new year. Drawing from the powerhouse productions of HBO, there is no shortage of incredible shows available to Max subscribers at any time, from the series that helped make HBO what it is, like The Sopranos and The Wire, to more modern hits, like House of the Dragon and The Last of Us. When searching through Max's extensive library, users can find some of the best TV shows of all time.

The last few months of 2024 were a busy one on Max with big shows like The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy making their debuts on the platform. While the new year will see the highly-anticipated return of shows like The White Lotus and The Last of Us, there are still a lot of shows to be excited about that are available to Max subscribers right now,...

Netflix has big plans for January 2025. The streaming giant has new releases, including the new Wallace and Gromit movie Vengeance Most Foul, the sixth season of the true-crime series I Am A Killer, and the Walking Dead spinoffs Dead City and The Ones Who Live. The biggest show coming to Netflix in January is WWE Monday Night Raw. This is the first time that WWE has aired any of its main weekly shows on a major streaming platform, although its pay-per-views will remain on Peacock for now. The first episode of WWE Raw on Netflix airs on January 6.

The streaming service also announced some major news over the last month, including the release date for the final part of Cobra Kai, which will arrive on February 13, 2025. With Squid Game's second season hitting in December 2024, the third season was announced to hit Netflix later in 2025, so the wait will not...

Historical dramas lend themselves well to the limited series format. From Chernobyl to Band of Brothers, these fictionalized accounts of true stories shine a light on the horrors that really unfolded — and the heroes who witnessed them and pushed, against all odds, for the truth to be known. Lockerbie: A Search for Truth — which is based on the book The Lockerbie Bombing: A Father's Search for Justice, written by the show’s protagonist, Jim Swire — is no different, shining a light on one of the darkest days in the UK’s history and the consequences of it that are still ongoing today, nearly 40 years later.

Tom Hardy is not only one of entertainment’s most versatile actors, but also one of the “good guys” when it comes to ensuring that those he works with are treated right. In a new report by The Times, it has been revealed that Hardy was willing to stump up his own cash to ensure that the crew on his Guy Ritchie series, Fixer – which is also running under the working title of The Associate - when it appeared they would not be paid.

Currently, Hardy is working on the new big-budget series, which was originally developed as Ray Donovan prequel series The Donovans before pivoting to a stand-alone story that will eventually find its way to Paramount+. Along with Hardy, the series stars Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggat, and Pierce Brosnan. With the series in production, just before Christmas, it was discovered that the builders who had been...

Coming from the powerful Apple Inc., it is perhaps not surprising that Apple TV+ has managed to become such a powerful streaming service since its launch in 2019, but the best shows on Apple TV+ highlight its incredible library of content. Apple TV+ kicks off 2025 in a big way with the much-anticipated Severance season 2 will finally mark the return of one of its most acclaimed shows. There has also been some exciting news for the streamer recently with the announcement that Silo will be renewed for both seasons 3 and 4.

Apple TV+’s line-up of original series offers some of the best shows on television right now, some fantastic shows that have already come to an end, and some new series fans are just getting into.

If it felt like television was completing one era and starting another as 2024 dawned, it’s because it really was. Such critical smashes as Succession, Ted Lasso, The Crown, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Barry, and Reservation Dogs took their final bows in 2023, wrapping up the same year as twin strikes of the WGA and SAG. It consequently felt like the TV world was welcoming a group of fresh faces (along with a few acclaimed returnees) this year.

There may not have been as many out-of-the-gate hits in ’24 as there were in previous years, but there were nonetheless plenty of buzzworthy shows to celebrate, including an exceptional class of limited series — the hottest genre from an awards perspective.

Here is our ranking of the 15 best television/streaming programs of the year:

15. Say Nothing (FX)

This extraordinary limited series adaptation of the nonfiction book by Patrick Radden Keefe spans four decades in the life of Dolours Price,...

Over the past decade or so, the limited series has become one of the most prestigious and highly regarded entertainment formats. Shows like "The Queen's Gambit," "Chernobyl," and "The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story," helped establish the limited series as a dominant force in Hollywood, and the accompanying category at the Primetime Emmy Awards has been one of the most competitive over the last several years. Acclaimed series like "I May Destroy You," "Mare of Easttown," "Unorthodox," and "Ripley" — all of which likely would have been shoo-in winners in earlier years — have lost out recently after well-earned nominations

But what exactly is a limited series? The current official rules from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences state that to be eligible for any awards in the limited series categories, a show must have "two (2) or more episodes with a total running time of at least 150 program minutes that tells a complete,...

Engines are being warmed up on “One,” the drama series set in the world of Formula One racing that Felicity Jones is attached to both star in and executive produce.

Variety understands that the series is in development with Amazon MGM Studios for Prime Video, although it has not been officially ordered yet.

“One” — which marks Formula 1’s first officially sanctioned scripted series — will focus on a failing family-owned racing team, led by Jones’ character, as it contends with fierce personalities, ever-changing rivals and multi-million-dollar stakes.

The series is produced by Bedrock Entertainment, launched in 2020 as a joint venture between “Band of Brothers” producer Tony To, “True Detective” executive producer Dan Sackheim and ITV Studios America. Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby — who were Oscar nominated for “Children of Men” — will write and executive produce.

To will executive produce “One” for Bedrock, alongside Sackheim and ITV Studios America’s president and managing director Philippe Maigret.

Steven Spielberg is one of the most prolific filmmakers of the latter half of the 20th and 21st centuries. Behind amazing projects like Jaws and Jurassic Park, which changed how people talk about blockbusters and theatrical releases forever, Spielberg has also been deeply interested in stories about World War II. Spielberg's early upbringing was colored by the impact of WWII, like most Americans during these years. This was because he was born in 1946. It makes sense that this experience colored his later projects, as many filmmakers attempt to bring large parts of their childhood to life onscreen.

There are many great movies Spielberg produced but didn't direct within multiple genres, but he helmed almost every film project involving World War II. In recent years, he's continued moving into the producer role in television as well as cinema. Spielberg co-created the hit miniseries Band of Brothers with Tom Hanks, which was...

While Hollywood has played a prominent role in giving a voice to the martyrs through war drama and historical documentaries, more often than not, these stories get swept up in overly patriotic sentiments rather than giving precedence to factual accuracy. But Steven Spielberg has singlehandedly managed to harness both expansive cinematography as well as emotional storytelling through his research into world war stories.

Band of Brothers [Credit: HBO]

Through an obsessive retelling of World War II stories, Spielberg has never grown bored or tired of the era that has caused so much grief, strife, and pain among the people. With films like Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Schindler’s List, Munich, and Bridge of Spies, the Oscar-winning director has shed more light on the war than any other director.

However, not all of them have been received well by the audience.

Steven Spielberg’s obsession with World War II Band of Brothers...

Creature Commandos rockets through another great episode, accompanied by a scintillating soundtrack and focused on the origin story of G.I. Robot. The episode blends an odd mix of bloodshed and poignant reminiscence, making for an excellent showcase of Sean Gunn’s talent, the brother of James Gunn.

Gunn provides the voice for the robotic member of Easy Company and also delivers the inaudible mumbling of the Weasel. The third chapter, titled “Cheers to the Tin Man,” is thought-provoking, beautifully crafted, and continues to be a surprisingly melancholic tale. It is safe to say that this devilishly creative series is off to a rip-roaring start!

We cannot wait to see what Gunn and company come up with next!

When it comes to TV, the IMDb rating system is a little strange. For instance, TV episodes tend to have a higher rating range than movies; whereas the #1 movie ever on the platform, "Shawshank Redemption," has a 9.2 rating, it's not uncommon for TV episodes to get a 9.9 rating. Or, in the case of the "Breaking Bad" episode "Ozymandias," it even reached a full 10 out of 10.

There are some other quirks to look out for, like how the early episodes of a lot of shows are rated deceptively low. Why is the first episode of "The Bear" only rated a 7.6, for instance, whereas later episodes of the show are rated much higher? In this case, I don't think it's because the opening episodes were worse in quality, but that the audience members who didn't vibe with the series simply stopped watching after the first few episodes, and were no longer around...

"Superman & Lois" recently aired its season 4 finale on The CW and, with that, the Arrowverse has officially come to an end. What began with "Arrow" and blossomed into a massive multiverse of DC TV shows is now a thing of the past. While this series, in particular, had a bit of a funky place in the Arrowverse thanks to some multiverse shenanigans, there are no DC shows left on the network now, so this era is good and truly over. That also means Jon Cryer, who played Lex Luthor in the Arrowverse for a time, has gotten a chance to reflect on his role as the DC villain, and he has but one regret regarding his run as Superman's greatest foe.

Michael Fassbender's new Paramount+ political thriller series The Agency is a tonally perfect followup to his 2023 David Fincher movie The Killer. Created for American television by Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, The Agency is an adaptation of the 2015 acclaimed French thriller series The Bureau created by Eric Rochant. Fassbender leads the cast of The Agency alongside Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, Katherine Waterson, John Magaro, Saura Lightfoot-Leon, and Jodie Turner-Smith.

Fassbender is a 2-time Oscar nominee best known for his titular role in 2015's Steve Jobs and his supporting role in the Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave. He is also a part of two major film franchises, X-Men and Alien. His other notable film roles include Assassin's Creed, Macbeth, Kneecap, Shame, 300, Jane Eyre, and Inglourious Basterds. In television, Fassbender appeared in Band of Brothers before starring in The Agency.

New episodes of The Agency release every Friday on Paramount+.

After its debut on the HBO network in 2001, Band of Brothers quickly became one of the most iconic and revered war shows of all time. Based on a famous historical novel by American historian Stephen Ambrose, this ten-part miniseries tells the incredible true story of Easy Company of the 101st Airborne Division during their time fighting in the European Theater of WWII. It's a gripping tale about brotherhood, sacrifice, and determination in the face of so much adversity.

Whether the newly released dramatic spy series happens to gain a large following overnight or instead takes a few episodes to gain some serious momentum, November 29 will be known as the day Paramount+ made its mark on the streaming hemisphere. Crafted by legendary Hollywood actor George Clooney and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Grant Heslov, this budding production duo is bringing a show called The Agency to life.

While the initial premise (which revolved around long-term undercover agents recruiting potential allies to their cause) might have sent some viewers away, the trailer for the Michael Fassbender-leading saga proved those naysayers wrong by impressing both critics and home audiences. The first two episodes seem to be doing fine as well in terms of reception. Even before all the fanfare, though,...

One of British cinema's most beloved and instantly recognizable faces, Tom Hardy has carved out a niche for himself as one of Hollywood's most sought-after names. Earning his reputation off the back of an array of superb performances, the actor has breathed life into a diverse array of film characters across multiple genres. A frequent collaborator with Christopher Nolan, Hardy's best movies have seen him produce acclaimed bows in the likes of The Revenant, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Warrior.

While Tom Hardy is primarily known for his work on the silver screen, he has also featured in several prominent television shows. Hardy actually made his acting debut in one of the most lauded and influential miniseries of all time with a minor appearance in HBO's Band of Brothers, with the Englishman going on to have roles in the acclaimed likes of Peaky Blinders and Taboo in tandem with his film career.

Michael Fassbender's new spy series debuts with a poor Rotten Tomatoes score. The Irish actor is perhaps best known for his role as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto in the X-Men movies from 2011-2016, including X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Aside from X-Men, Fassbender is also well-known for his role in the Alien franchise as David and Walter One in the 2012 prequel Prometheus and its 2017 sequel, Alien: Covenant, both directed by Ridley Scott.

Franchise fare aside, Fassbender is also a highly acclaimed actor. His performance as the plantation owner Edwin Epps in 2013's 12 Years a Slave earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and his turn as the titular co-founder of Apple in 2015's Steve Jobs earned him another Academy Award nomination, this time for a Best Actor in a Leading Role. Best known for film, Fassbender hasn't appeared on television very much,...

It's hard to imagine anything more intense than working undercover for the CIA in a hostile environment, losing years of your life to a secret identity that could be blown at any minute. Except — imagine trying to follow up one of the most critically-acclaimed French shows ever made with a new version, just four years after the original ended. That's the demand placed on The Agency, an American remake of Le Bureau des Legendes, with Michael Fassbender as “Martian”, a covert agent who returns home after spending a huge chunk of time away from everyone he knows and loves.

Inevitably, Martian is soon caught up in a new mission that's complicated by the reemergence of Sami (Jodie Turner-Smith), the woman he fell for in his other life. Getting sucked back into all the chaos is not the return that "Martian" envisioned. Unfortunately, the same...

Band of Brothers was one of the most critically acclaimed war drama series that depicted World War II on television, and while this accomplishment meant so much for the creators, some of its cast members were not completely thrilled with their experience.

The show may have been incredible to watch on screen, but the behind-the-scenes was indeed rigorous and extremely draining. One particular actor even thought he would be out of work forever.
