Garner Shines Through Grief in Peacock's The Five-Star Weekend

Jennifer Garner leads a grief-stricken Hollis in Peacock’s The Five-Star Weekend, a Nantucket-set drama that mixes heartfelt sorrow with humor, buoyed by Timothy Olyphant's roguish charm and strong supporting work. The IndieWire review praises Garner’s range and the ensemble, noting the show lands best when it embraces light moments over melodrama. The eight-episode series premieres July 9 on Peacock, with all episodes released at once, and the critic gives it a C+ grade.

I Will Find You: Netflix’s Harlan Coben Thriller That’s Bad, Yet Somehow Entertaining

IndieWire’s review grades Netflix’s Harlan Coben thriller I Will Find You a C-, calling it a tawdry, eight-episode misfire with implausible twists and blunt exposition. Despite a talented cast and some so-bad-it’s-almost-good moments, the piece argues the series lacks resonance and isn’t worth most viewers’ time unless you’re seeking a bleak, brainless Boston-based thriller for the weekend.

Hugh Jackman Delivers a Brutal, Austere Robin Hood in a Grim Legend-Making Tale

Michael Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood presents a stark, revisionist portrait of the outlaw, with Hugh Jackman delivering a chilling, performance-driven take as a brutal Robin whose legend is interrogated by a dour 13th-century setting and Jodie Comer’s Sister Brigid. The film treats redemption as a slow, myth-busting process rather than a clean transformation, and while it leans into Eggers-like fidelity and austere visuals, it doubles as a meditation on how legends are forged. Grade: B. The movie hits theaters on June 19 from A24.

Emmys 2026 Limited Series Contenders Struck by a Midseason Slump

IndieWire’s Marcus Jones notes a tepid mood around the 2026 Emmys’ Outstanding Limited Series and Outstanding Movie contenders, with Netflix-leading submissions feeling more populist than prestige (including titles like Beef Season 2, Death by Lightning, and Monster: The Ed Gein Story), while a few moves—HBO’s Half Man, DTF St. Louis—show slow momentum and FX’s Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette stands out for performances, suggesting voters may favor new talent over familiar names in a year of mid-tier contenders.

Oscars Showdown: Will Sinners Outpace One Battle After Another in the Gold Rush?

IndieWire’s Screen Talk weighs the Oscar chances for Sinners vs. One Battle After Another, arguing that SAG/BAFTA momentum could tilt acting wins toward Sinners while One Battle After Another maintains early frontrunner energy in the Best Picture race; the episode also chips away at sure bets for the season (Avatar: Fire and Ash for Visual Effects, Frankenstein for crafts, The Perfect Neighbor for Best Documentary) and flags uncertainties in categories like International Feature, with Tangential discussion about Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! influencing the awards chatter.
