Below Premieres on Netflix: A Climate-Driven Monster Horror That Rivals Widow's Bay

Netflix's new limited series Below, starring Josh Hartnett, has debuted to generally positive reviews, earning an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Set in the fictional Newfoundland town of Snook's Arm, the six-episode series follows fisherman Calvin Penney as he battles a giant squid and confronts the consequences of climate change and forced resettlement. Critics praise the show's atmospheric visuals and Hartnett's performance but note that the second half of the season feels padded. The series is frequently compared to Apple TV+'s Emmy-winning Widow's Bay, with both shows exploring coastal horror, though Below is more serious and ecologically focused.

Russell defended the decision, noting that public scrutiny of such omissions is 'lame' and that the couple prefers to keep their relationship private.

Matthew Rhys Makes Emmy History with Unprecedented Double Lead Acting Win

Matthew Rhys made Emmy history at the 2026 ceremony by becoming the first performer to win two lead acting awards in a single night. He took home the trophies for best lead actor in a limited series for 'The Beast in Me' and best lead actor in a comedy for 'Widow's Bay.' This achievement completes a historic trifecta, as Rhys had previously won the lead drama actor award in 2018 for 'The Americans,' making him the first male actor to win all three top acting categories. While the ceremony was praised for its historic wins, it was also criticized for being a flat, uneventful broadcast.
