Six Feet Under (2001-2005)
One of the great HBO shows of the early 2000s, Six Feet Under follows the family owners of a funeral parlor as they make death their family business. When a wayward son returns home to become a partner in the business after their father's death, they reckon with one another and the devastating loss.
Six Feet Under is dark, funny, and ultimately one of the smartest shows ever written about the nature of human life and its ending. Six Feet Under is a show about the profound truth that death comes for us all and about what it means to face that reality.
You can watch Six Feet Under on Netflix.
GLOW (2017-2019)
A remarkable, canceled-too-soon comedy series, GLOW is loosely based on the gorgeous ladies of wrestling. The show follows a group of women who become female wrestlers in Los Angeles and slowly come to realize just how empowering it can be to get in the ring.
As they navigate their relationships to one another and their changing role as wrestlers, GLOW was never anything less than entertaining. Anchored by Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, and Mark Maron, GLOW was genuinely great, and it should have gotten the chance to end properly.
You can watch GLOW on Netflix.
Baby Reindeer (2024)
A series that is at turns tense and hilarious, Baby Reindeer tells the story of a struggling comedian who finds out that he has a stalker. As he reckons with her adoration and tries to decide whether or not to encourage it, he begins to unpack trauma from his own past.
Baby Reindeer is definitely a show in the mold of personal series from various comedians. In this case, the show can build tension because of the thrilling nature of its central story. Baby Reindeer is based on real events, although there's still plenty of dispute about how closely it hews to what actually happened.

Al Pacino once rejected Winona Ryder
Al Pacino once rejected Winona Ryder for being too young for him. The 85-year-old actor worked with the 53-year-old actress on the 2002 comedy Simone and while Winona believed she was 'actively in love with him' but he turned her down because of her age, only to go on to date someone younger than her. Winona told ELLE UK magazine: ''I was absolutely in love with Al Pacino when I was working with him. We were doing that workshop for Richard III, which I didn't know was gonna be a movie. I was actively in love with him. He was obsessed with coffee, and he would take me all over New York – like, to the weirdest places – to try different coffees. I'm 22, or whatever. Finally, he's dropping me off wherever I'm staying, and I'm like, 'I love you, you know. I really am completely in love with you'. 'And he was like 'Aw, honey, noooo'. Then, like 10 years later, I meet his girlfriend, who's younger than me. Dude, I'm f****** throwing myself at you. I still play poker with him sometimes. It's the best.' Winona also spoke about her crush on Christopher Walken, 82, revealing that after he gave her a rotisserie chicken, she kept the carcass for a long time. She added: 'I still have the wishbone and am trying to make it into a necklace.' These days, Winona is loved-up with green-fashion entrepreneur Scott Mackinlay Hahn, who mistook her for Milla Jovovich when they met at the Black Swan premiere in 2010. Winona said: 'I thought it was the most charming thing in the world'. She tracked down his phone number and called him, explaining: 'I was very direct. I was like, 'Listen, do you want to go on a date?'' Winona – who said she and Hahn hope to marry soon - also spoke about children, explaining: 'There was a time that I was really thinking about it, but I hadn't met Scott.' Read the full interview with Winona Ryder at The September issue of ELLE UK is on sale from 31 July.

This tool lets users send fake legal letters that look real—without a lawyer
If you can't afford a lawyer, it turns out there's nothing stopping you from sending a scary-looking letter that, at first glance, seems to come from one—and hoping the recipient doesn't read the fine print too closely. That's the idea behind Heavyweight, a tool that lets you take any complaint and format it with an official-looking letterhead, without ever actually claiming to be from a real lawyer. 'If you've ever received a legal notice like a Cease and Desist, you know that the 'oh shit' moment doesn't happen once you actually read the letter,' multimedia artist and software developer Morry Kolman explained in a now-viral X post earlier this week. 'It happens the second you open it and realize a lawyer is mad at you.' That's the power dynamic the project aims to subvert. Kolman created the free, online, open-source tool with Kendra Albert, a public interest and media technology lawyer, after the two were paired at Rhizome 's annual 7×7 program last month. First and foremost an art project—and definitely not legal advice—Heavyweight aims to democratize 'the aesthetics of (in lieu of access to) legal representation,' according to a blog post about the project. 'We wanted to make Heavyweight to show a lot of the power of the law, and this perceived importance and seriousness does not actually come from the letter of the law necessarily. It comes from how those letters are presented visually,' Kolman tells Fast Company. Take, for example, a big fancy letterhead, or an official-sounding address. 'This is a project about design. It's a project about aesthetics. It's a project about how things look,' he added. While Kolman makes clear that a Heavyweight letter won't hold up in court—nor is it intended to—'there's nothing stopping you from making something that looks just as snooty and sending it to some obstinate landlord or customer service department to make them shit their pants,' he wrote on X. On the Heavyweight website, any aggrieved party can create their own legal-looking letter, choose the law firm's floor (from 1st to 100th), the year it was founded (as far back as 1775), and even the 'snootiness level' of the font. You can change the number of firm partners and generate their names from categories like 'Greenwich, Connecticut, town representatives' or 'equestrian riders.' Simply download the PDF and send it to whoever has landed on your bad side. The X post announcing the project quickly went viral, with 1.5 million views at the time of writing. 'Lawyer here: Dying laughing,' one X user commented. 'This is incredible. I have so many people to spook,' another added. Not everyone was amused. 'This might not be illegal, but I can practically guarantee the court system will magically think otherwise,' one user warned. 'Actually a great idea until the recipient has a lawyer, and now you are tainted with this bad faith act in any future litigation,' another wrote. Kolman expected the controversy and advised anyone sending letters to do so at their own risk. Some fair use examples might include a landlord who has been ignoring your request to fix a broken dishwasher for months, or a client who's stopped returning your emails. 'I think those situations, when you are basically just trying to go from ignorable mote to annoying horsefly, are a pretty good use case for when to send a Heavyweight letter,' Kolman said. 'I've used it myself to send a letter to a customer service email that wasn't giving me any of my money back.'

Would Iron Man 2's Sam Rockwell Ever Return To The MCU? Here's What The Actor Said
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Two years after Iron Man ushered in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turned Robert Downey Jr. into one of Hollywood's most in-demand actors, Iron Man 2 saw his version of Tony Stark clashing with Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer, a rival weapons manufacturer who teamed up with Mickey Rourke's Ivan Vanko. Rockwell later reprised Hammer for the short film All Hail the King and an episode of the Disney+ subscription-exclusive animated series What If… ?, but we still have yet to see him return as a prominent character in the MCU. Well, that's not because of a lack of interest on Rockwell's part of being in an upcoming Marvel movie or upcoming Marvel TV show. Justin Hammer came up while Sam Rockwell was chatting about his 2025 movie release The Bad Guys 2 with ComicBook. When asked if he was tired of getting asked about his MCU character and the franchise, the actor responded: Well, I'm a nerd too, so I don't, no. I'm waiting for the call. Hasn't come in yet, but I'm waiting. I heard they're shooting Avengers somewhere. I'm not there. Not that anyone was expecting otherwise, but at least now we can officially add the lack of Justin Hammer to the things we know about Avengers: Doomsday. Still, even with so much time having passed since Iron Man 2, Sam Rockwell is absolutely game to return to the MCU. Those kinds of question don't tire him out because he's also just as curious, if not more so, about if Justin will ever resurface. Because What If… ? showed a Justin Hammer from an alternate universe, we haven't checked in with the Sacred Timeline version of him since All Hail the King was included as a special feature on Thor: The Dark World's home media release. At the end of the short film, Justin was shown to be in the same prison as Ben Kingsley's Trevor Slattery and annoyed at how much attention the Iron Man 3 villain was getting. Given the crimes he committed, it stands to reason that Justin is still behind bars, but there's no reason he couldn't be broken out. Disney+: from $9.99 a month w/ ad-supported planHead over to Disney+ to revisit Sam Rockwell's appearances as Justin Hammer amidst all the other MCU movies and TV shows. The ad-supported plan costs $9.99 a month. Go ad-free and pay $15.99 a month, or save 16% and pre-pay $159.99 for a Deal The question then becomes where it would make sense to include Justin Hammer next, and looking over the slate of MCU projects on the way, none seem to be a good fit for him. There was a time when Armor Wars would have a great platform for Justin Hammer to make his grand return, as the story would follow Don Cheadle's James Rhodes tracking down people who've stolen Tony Stark's technology. However, these days it's unclear where things stand with Armor Wars, as it still doesn't have a release date. Well, Kevin Feige and the rest of Marvel Studios' creative heads know how to get in touch with Sam Rockwell if they ever decide to bring back Justin Hammer. For now, catch the actor reprising Mr. Wolf in The Bad Guys 2 starting on August 1 in theaters, and stream his appearance on The White Lotus from earlier this year with an HBO Max subscription.
