No matter how well your favorite streaming service's algorithm knows you, come February, sometimes even the smartest technology can be swayed by the power of Valentine's Day. But love--romantic or otherwise--can be found in the oddest of places, including the radioactive wasteland of postapocalyptic Los Angeles, Westeros in the rare midst of relative peace, or behind the scenes of the latest MCU blockbuster. Whether you're in the mood for a reliable sci-fi gem or an enlightening new docuseries courtesy of director Josh Safdie, February's streaming lineup offers plenty of options to swoon over. Here are the 10 shows we're falling for right now. Picking up from roughly where Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman's left off when it ended in 2024, might be best described as for the TikTok age or simply the franchise's horniest iteration.

Entertainment about or made with artificial intelligence has been missing the mark with viewers over the past year. Acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky is the executive producer of a new web series that matches human voice actors with video images generated in part by Google DeepMind. An insurrectionist robot unleashed by a mad inventor in Fritz Lang's . HAL 9000 sabotaging a manned mission to Jupiter in . Skynet, the self-aware global defense network that seeks to exterminate humanity throughout the franchise.

New Year is a time of reinvention. In that spirit, I would like to shake up this preview of 2026's best sci-fi and science-related TV with a radical act: including a series that started last year. That may seem strange, but the second season of Fallout (Amazon Prime Video) aired in only mid-December, so, for my money, it counts. Set in a retrofuturistic US, generations of humans have lived inside radiation-proof bunkers sold to them by the shadowy Vault-Tec corporation. Last season, former vault-dweller Lucy (Ella Purnell) went surface-side to find her missing father, encountering cowboys and cannibals along the way.

The AI's latest trick is following the schedule you set for it. The developers of the big generative AI chatbots are continuing to push out new features at a rapid rate, as they bid to make sure their bot is the one you turn to whenever you need some assistance from artificial intelligence. One of the latest updates to Google Gemini gives you the ability to set up scheduled actions. These are exactly what they sound like: Tasks that you can get Google Gemini to run automatically, on a schedule. Maybe you want a weather and news report every morning at 7 am, or perhaps you want an evening meal suggestion every evening at 7 pm.

While puzzling captchas--from dogs in hats to sliding jockstraps--still exist, most bot-deterring challenges have vanished into the background. As I browse the web in 2025, I rarely encounter captchas anymore. There's no slanted text to discern. No image grid of stoplights to identify. And on the rare occasion that I am asked to complete some bot-deterring task, the experience almost always feels surreal.

If you're subscribed to Amazon Prime Video, it's likely you've seen'Space Cadet' promoted at the top of your feed this week. The movie has raced to the top of the charts and sees Emma Roberts star as a trainee astronaut at NASA. In the film, Roberts' character, Rex, manages to make it on to NASA's training programme by faking her CV. However, in reality, it's much trickier to be selected, with just 360 lucky candidates making the cut at the US space agency since the 1960s. So, do you have what it takes to become an astonaut?

Using existing scripts to train AIs and deploying the technology to draft new scripts are major concerns in the ongoing Hollywood writers' strike Could AI soon write your favourite Hollywood film or streaming show? That concern is one of the issues driving a US film and television writers' strike that has halted many productions nationwide. The Writers Guild of America (WGA), a labour union representing writers who primarily work in film and television, began the work strike this month after reaching an impasse in negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers that represents the US entertainment industry. Part of the disagreement revolves around a WGA proposal to ban the industry from using AIs such as ChatGPT to generate story ideas or scripts for films and shows – the union wants to ensure that such technologies do not undermine writers' compensation and writing credits. "The fear is that AI could be used to produce first drafts of shows, and then a small number of writers would work off of those scripts," says Virginia Doellgast at Cornell University in New York.

April promises to be an exciting month for streaming TV. Popular shows are returning this month for second seasons, including Apple TV's Schmigadoon! Then there's HBO's Somebody Somewhere, which is back for season 2 on April 23. But there are exciting new shows premiering this month as well that are worth checking out. Amazon Prime Video, for example, has an interesting gender-reversed version of David Cronenberg's 1988 movie Dead Ringers, starring Rachel Weisz in the role previously portrayed by Jeremy Irons.

Over the past few years, Artificial Intelligence has evolved to become a hot trend in the tech industry. In fact, according to LinkedIn's report on emerging jobs last year, AI and blockchain topped the list. While the practical implications of AI often differ from how it's usually shown on film, here are the 25 best artificial intelligence movies you should watch in 2021. You can expand the table below to see a list of titles and go straight to the AI movie that catches your eye. So without further, let's check out some of the best artificial intelligence movies: If you haven't seen The Matrix yet, I want you to stop whatever you are doing right now and start the binge-fest.
