Before Saving the Shop in ‘Tires' Season 2, Thomas Haden Church Hadn't Heard of the Show
Thomas Haden Church began his acting career as the lovable airplane mechanic Lowell Mather on the beloved '90s NBC sitcom Wings. As Phil on Netflix comedy Tires season two, he's the one (gently) bossing the grease monkeys around, including his on-screen son Shane Gillis.

Church is happy to talk about being on both ends of the socket wrench, though really he's at his happiest relaying the cattle count on his Texas ranch. It's all good — I mostly wanted to talk about Tombstone (1993).
How aware of were you?
Not at all. And I had a connection with an executive at Rough House Pictures, Danny McBride's company (and a Tires production company), because I had another project that they were considering doing like three years ago — something that my partner and I had written. But I got to know this executive Brandon James, and he just reached out to me — it would have been, let's see, probably early September, because I was in London all last summer shooting a film for Netflix. And Brandon reached out to me, and he said, 'Hey, you know, we're doing this show Tires, and we're ramping up for the second season. Would you be interested in playing Shane Gillis' dad?'
I knew who Shane was. I thought Shane was hilarious. And so they sent me some scripts and asked me to watch the show, which I did, and I really, really liked it. I really liked the chemistry. I read the scripts and then I jumped on a call with John McKeever and Steve Gerben — two of the guys that created the show with Shane — and we just had a great first meeting. And they just straight-out said, 'Look, dude, if it's going to be you, then we want to build the character of Phil with you — and Shane, obviously — but we all want to do it with you. Not for you, with you.' It was of the highest order of collaboration. I got there two weeks in advance, and every time they had a script meeting, I was there just pitching ideas and listening and really just becoming a cohesive gear in the machine.
You came in for season two as Shane's dad, Phil. You dress great, you look great, you buy out Valley Forge Automotive to keep your son and nephew employed — how rich is Phil?
He's got the kind of money where he can just show up and be like, 'I want to open half-a-dozen mattress stores, and I want you to manage them.' He's that guy.
What was your response when you found out shoots in Westchester, Pennsylvania?
That was absolutely a major attractant. I did (HBO's) Divorce for three seasons, but it felt like more than that. I lived in New York for the three seasons that we did, and I vowed that I would never do another TV series in New York. Of course, now that I've said that, it's out in the ether. Now I'm gonna get approached to do a series in New York.
But I lived in L.A. for 12 years, and I did two television series in New York. Not terribly long after that, I just moved to Texas and I've been living [there] full time for 24 years now. I sold my house in L.A. in like 2001-2002 and just never looked back.
You went back home.
Yeah. The very first morning I was in L.A., there was like a 6.0 earthquake, and I was like, 'This is not for me.' As soon as I started working and making money, I almost immediately bought a home in Texas. I had a place in Austin for several years in the '90s, and then I sold that place and bought my ranch out here— we live about an hour from San Antonio, and then my ranch is about 90 minutes, give or take, from San Antonio.
It's home. We grew up hunting with my dad, and the very first season of Wings, one of my brothers — who's an attorney in Dallas — was like, 'Do you ever think about deer hunting again?' And I was like, 'Yeah!' He said, 'Why don't we find a place to hunt?' And so we did. We found a ranch to hunt on that's about 20 miles from where I'm sitting right now — that was 35 years ago. And whenever I started hunting again, it just reignited my lifelong dream of owning a real cattle ranch and being a real cattle rancher. And I have been for 26 years. I've kind of downsized because I'm getting older, but I don't know, 10-15 years ago, we had about 400 head, which still not a big operation, but big enough that we were making money at it.
You're a real cowboy, like your character Billy Clanton in . It wasn't easy to make that jump from TV in the '90s — especially for the guy who played Lowell — how did that come about?
So, in the spring of '93 wings, Northern Exposure, Beverly Hills, 90210 and China Beach were all very popular shows, and when Tombstone was casting. The Disney execs apparently sent down to the producers and the writer/director some kind of a note that they wanted the movie to cast some television actors, and that's what they did. And they cast John Corbett (Northern Exposure), they cast Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills, 90210), myself (Wings), and Dana Delany (China Beach), and that's how I got into my first film.
Well, I say Tombstone was my first film, but I had done a TV movie. It wasn't supposed to be a TV movie, but it ended up being a TV movie. I was working with Sam on (the TV movie) and we really hit it off. We were shooting one night, and I had gone in and met with with the [Tombstone] screenwriter Kevin Jarre and the director (George P. Cosmatos). It was just a meeting, it wasn't even an audition. We just talked about the Civil War, because I loved Glory (1989), which he wrote, and the Old West, because I'm kind of a little bit of an Old West history guy. Then I had to go back out to Palm Springs where we were shooting (the TV movie). That night — we were doing some night work — and Sam and I were standing there, and Sam goes, 'May need to get ya on the back of a horse.' I didn't get it. Again he said, 'May need to get ya on the back of a horse.' 'Oh, shit!' I got it. (Sam Elliott voice) 'Congratulations, Thomas, you deserve it.'
And let me tell you something, I went to cowboy school on the back of Sam Elliott. Sam immediately got me with a wrangler friend of his who lived out there in the desert, and I started— every spare minute I had while I was shooting another movie, I would go out riding with this wrangler friend of Sam's. Then after I finished shooting that, Sam had a really good friend in West Texas who had a big ranch, and Sam, he literally told me, goes, 'You're going to go out there and you're going to work as a cowboy for them, because they're doing their their spring roundup — they're marking calves.' And that's what I did. I went out to cowboy on this huge ranch for a month, and then, literally, the day I finished, I drove back to Dallas, and I flew directly from Dallas to Tucson and went to work on Tombstone. When I showed up, I was pretty seasoned in the saddle. But we didn't do a lot of riding in Tombstone, that was always a little bit of a disappointment to me — because we were cowboys.
This conversation has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity.

How to Watch NBC Outside the US: Quick Guide
Whether you're in Australia, South Africa, or Sweden, The Voice, Chicago P.D., and NBC's Olympic coverage still top global watchlists. But the problem is, NBC's streams won't load unless your device appears to be in the U.S. That's due to geo-restrictions that block access to Peacock and for international viewers. Even though NBC's content travels far, its streaming gates don't. But with the right VPN and setup, you can trick the system, stream NBC live, and watch your favorite shows from anywhere, just like you're back in New York or L.A. We'll show you exactly how to get your U.S. entertainment going, even when you're abroad. Table of Contents You're not imagining it. Watching NBC from outside the US is trickier than it should be. That's because NBC doesn't rely on just one method to block international viewers. It layers multiple types of geo-restrictions, making access nearly impossible unless you're using the right workaround. This is the first and most obvious hurdle. NBC checks your IP address to determine your location, and if it doesn't fall within US borders, the site or app either refuses to load or gives you a blunt 'Not available in your region' message. No US IP, no entry — that's the rule. Even if you get past the IP wall, NBC locks a lot of content behind a cable provider login. To stream full episodes or live events, you'll need credentials from a US-based service like Xfinity, Spectrum, or DirecTV Stream. And these logins are geo-sensitive too — use them from the UK, and they'll likely fail unless your VPN setup is airtight. NBC actively blocks VPNs it detects, especially free or overused services. If your VPN's IP address appears on a known proxy or VPN list, NBC simply won't let the stream through. This is why 'just any VPN' won't cut it. On NBC's mobile apps, especially NBC Sports and affiliate-specific versions, your device's GPS can betray your true location. Even with a VPN active, if your phone shows you're in the UK, the app can refuse access or load limited content. It's a frustrating but increasingly common tactic. Most VPNs trip up on one or more of the blocks above. But NordVPN stands out for its large fleet of US servers (over 1,970 at last count), which are regularly refreshed to stay off blacklists. It also has obfuscated servers to help bypass aggressive VPN detection and SmartDNS support for streaming on devices that don't support native VPN apps. Whether you're living abroad or just traveling, watching NBC doesn't have to mean missing out on The Voice, Sunday Night Football, or breaking news. With a reliable VPN and a few quick steps, you're good to go. Watch NBC from anywhere with NordVPN Tip: For smart TVs or devices that don't support VPN apps, use NordVPN's SmartDNS feature or set it up on your router. NordVPN offers the best router-compatible VPN we've tested to date. If you're outside the US and still want your fill of SNL, Chicago P.D., or Sunday Night Football, you'll need more than just Wi-Fi and wishful thinking. We tested over a dozen VPNs across multiple continents, networks, and devices. When streaming NBC live outside the US, NordVPN consistently delivers the best mix of speed, access, and usability. With a massive network of 7,800+ servers in 118 countries, including 1,970+ in the US, it's our top pick for uninterrupted access to The Tonight Show, SNF, Law & Order, and more. Powered by NordLynx, a protocol built on WireGuard tech, NordVPN gave us buttery-smooth performance during HD and 4K streams on the NBC app, and Peacock. Even when connected from Europe and Asia, we could stream live NBC news without lag, essential for sports or late-night shows. NordVPN's US servers are optimized for security and dedicated streaming. During testing, we had zero proxy errors when signing into NBC from abroad. Its SmartPlay feature automatically routes you through the best connection path for streaming, so you don't have to fiddle with server selection manually. Buy at NordVPN Whether you're on iOS, Android, Fire Stick, Apple TV, or Smart TVs, NordVPN's apps are clean and consistent. We especially liked the Quick Connect feature that picked the best-performing US server for us every time. You can even install it on routers to cover devices that don't support VPN apps natively. At just around $3/month for long-term plans, NordVPN gives you premium access at a bargain. It also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for all platforms, and a 7-day free trial on Android, so you can stream NBC without spending anything upfront. Support is available 24/7 via live chat, which comes in handy if you hit a snag. Pros Cons If you're trying to stream NBC from abroad without any buffering, slowdowns, or geo-error headaches, ExpressVPN is one of the most reliable options. With 3,000+ high-speed servers in 105+ countries, including dozens of optimized locations across the US, it's a breeze to unlock and the NBC app. You can also count on ExpressVPN to access Peacock content while outside the United States. ExpressVPN's Lightway Turbo protocol is a game-changer for real-time streaming. When we tested it from the UK and Germany, NBC loaded instantly and played in full HD without stuttering, even during Sunday Night Football and SNL. Its 10 Gbps server upgrades ensure stable, high-speed performance across the board. One standout feature is MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN's Smart DNS tool. It lets you stream NBC on devices that don't support VPN apps, like smart TVs, Apple TV, and consoles, without complex configurations. It's not as secure as a full VPN tunnel, but it works flawlessly for US content. Buy at ExpressVPN ExpressVPN has intuitive apps for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Fire Stick, and routers, and all of them work with NBC. Setup takes just a minute or two, and their 24/7 live chat is always ready to help if a server gets blocked (which happens rarely but is easy to fix). ExpressVPN is priced slightly higher than others (around $5/month with a long-term plan), but you're paying for reliability, top-tier support, and elite unblocking performance. It's backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test it with NBC worry-free. Pros Cons Private Internet Access VPN is a surprisingly powerful option for streaming NBC abroad, especially if you're looking for wide US coverage on a budget. With servers in all 50 US states (it's one of the best VPNs for California, for example), it's your best bet if you want to watch regional NBC affiliates (think local news, NFL games, or weather updates from your hometown). What makes Private Internet Access a winner is its state-by-state server access. While most VPNs just give you generic 'US' servers, PIA lets you pick from specific states, which is ideal for bypassing location-specific blackouts or affiliate restrictions on NBC content. In our hands-on tests, PIA worked with the NBC app, and Peacock without tripping any proxy errors. Speeds were more than fast enough for HD streaming using its WireGuard protocol, although they're not quite as consistent as NordVPN or ExpressVPN. Buy at Private Internet Access Private Internet Access comes with a highly customizable interface, but you don't have to tweak anything to get NBC working. Install the app, connect to a US state server (we recommend New York or Illinois for NBC), and you're good to go. You also get a native app for Fire TV, which makes streaming NBC shows even easier on your TV. At just about $2 per month with a long-term plan, PIA is one of the cheapest ways to stream NBC abroad. It also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can binge The Tonight Show or Dateline NBC risk-free before committing. Pros Cons Accessing NBC from outside the US doesn't have to be a hassle, but not when you've got the right VPN in your corner. Whether you're trying to stream The Voice, Law & Order, or catch up on Sunday Night Football, using a reliable VPN unlocks NBC's full catalog and lets you stream from anywhere in the world. So if NBC's geo-blocks have been standing between you and your favorite shows, NordVPN is the fix. It's fast, consistent, and hands-down the easiest way to bring American TV wherever you are. Geo-blocks might be frustrating, but the workarounds are easier than you think. Here are some lesser-known questions answered to help you stream NBC smarter, not harder. Yes, but it depends on your VPN provider. Some smart TVs support VPN apps directly (like Android TV), but others don't. With a provider like NordVPN, you can either use SmartDNS or set up the VPN on your router to protect your entire home network, including your TV. Not always. Some NBC content is free to watch via the NBC website or app, so you only need a US IP address. But for full access, like live broadcasts or premium content, you'll need login credentials from a US cable provider or use an alternative like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV (which also require a US payment method). Technically, you might get lucky, but it's not reliable. Free VPNs often lack US servers optimized for streaming and get blocked by NBC's anti-VPN systems. More importantly, they often come with data caps, slow speeds, and even privacy risks. That's why we recommend services like NordVPN, which offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, letting you try it risk-free.

Christie Brinkley admits she's a 'fool for love' despite four failed marriages
Christie Brinkley is no stranger to love. The legendary supermodel, who has been married four times, admitted she's a "fool for love" in a candid new interview with the New York Times. In her conversation with the outlet, she spoke in detail about her divorces, and whether she's willing to open her heart again. "I'm too trusting," she admitted when asked about what she's learned from her marriages. "I'm a fool for love. That love takes work. Sometimes you need to rely on experts. I wish I could have found ways to save some; I wish I hadn't married others." Brinkley's first husband was artist Jean-François Allaux – the two wed in 1975, when she was 21 years old. They divorced in 1981, and four years later she married Billy Joel. Brinkley and Joel divorced in 1994, and that same year she married real estate developer Richard Taubman. She divorced him a year later, and a year after that she married architect Peter Cook. She was with him until their contentious divorce was finalized in 2008. She told the New York Times, "I always believed in soul mates. I thought I had four of them. Now I'm not sure. Maybe I had my two soul mates with Jean and Billy. Maybe I rushed out of my marriage to Jean. Maybe I should have tried to make it work longer with Billy. I did start to wonder if maybe it's me – if I was unlovable." When asked, she clarified, "I'm not unlovable, but the relationships I was in made me feel unloved. I have enough self-esteem to know that in the right arms, I'm lovable. And I wasn't loved correctly. One loved my money more than me. Another loved his drink more than me. Another loved young women more than me. And in my first one, I loved my freedom more than him." Her first husband, Allaux, was the one she said she left for her "freedom." She said that with him, it was "love at first sight," and while their marriage was successful for years, it was a "slow dissolve." "I got married too young. I started to feel constrained and regretted being tied down," she admitted. In her recently released memoir, "Uptown Girl," Brinkley explained that she'd met Allaux when she was just 19 years old. She'd moved to Paris to become an artist and met him soon after, and after six years of marriage, she wrote, "I started to wonder what else – and who else – might be out there." In the time since she'd met him, she'd "changed considerably, transforming from a girl from Malibu bound for Paris with only a backpack, paints and bohemian ideals to a top model with two mortgages, an endless zeal for adventure, and one big career." Joel is the ex-husband she claimed "loved his drink more than me" – the singer has been open about his past struggles with addiction, and Brinkley wrote in her memoir that "booze was the other woman." She said of their marriage, "When you become the bad cop, it's over. If we had been older when it happened, maybe we could have figured it out." In an April interview with Brinkley explained that her relationship with Joel was the most difficult to write about in her memoir because they're still friends, but she said he gave her his blessing. "He said, 'Just say what you need to say,'" Brinkley said. "And I think that's part of his healing, so I applaud him for all of that. It takes a lot of courage." As for the ex who "loved my money more than me," Brinkley referred to third husband Taubman. "Ricky was a larger-than-life character who married me for my money," she claimed. "Our relationship was complicated by the fact that I was pregnant, and I wanted to make the right decisions. The relationship came on the heels of my divorce from Billy, which I was devastated about." In "Uptown Girl," she wrote that after their son Jack was born, she had a session with her therapist and made the choice to give their marriage one more shot. She took Jack from New York, where she'd delivered the baby, back home to Taubman in Colorado, and she claimed that when she arrived, he asked her for money. "That's when I knew that this was not nor could it ever be love or even a real relationship: it was usership, manipulation, and at its worst, emotional torture," she wrote. "I booked a flight back to New York." When she arrived, she said Taubman called her and told her "I'm going to walk away from you and the baby" just like her biological father did to her. After that phone call, she filed for divorce. Finally, the one who "loved young women more than me" refers to Cook, who had an affair while married to Brinkley. "I was married to a stranger who had other lives. I had three children. I wanted to protect them from the fallout and from their life being blown apart. The divorce lasted for years. It was agonizing." Brinkley filed for divorce from Cook in 2006 after finding out that he'd been having an affair with his teenage assistant. The divorce proceedings took place in open court, and at one point in her testimony, she sobbed, saying, "I felt like the man who I was living with, I just didn't know who he was... anymore. Who is he? Who is this man who comes down and sits at the dining room table and acts like he's been at work?" per ABC News. In her memoir, she called her relationship with Cook "one of the most tormented experiences I've ever had." Brinkley is a mother of three: daughters Alexa Ray, who she shares with Joel, and Sailor, who she shares with Cook, as well as son Jack, who she had with Taubman but who was later adopted by Cook. The model confessed the thing she regrets most is "Not being able to sit with an open photo album with my husband and go, 'Look, remember this? Remember the kids?'" Despite everything, Brinkley admitted to the New York Times that she's still open to the idea of finding a partner. "Everything I've been through, all the pain, the stupidity, I would do it again because I believe in love," she shared. "I think it would be sad not to. I'm not sure I want to give up the freedom I have now. It gets harder to meet people and harder to trust. It would take a special person to get me to want to share my life. I have made peace without having it. I have been making it through without a man for a lot of years. I don't need a person to make me happy. I'm happy." She added, "But I have so much happiness in me, I would love to share it with someone I love."

What's New On Netflix In July 2025? Our Top Picks Of The Shows And Films To Stream This Month
Whenever a new month rolls around, we start talking about what an eclectic mix of new shows and films Netflix has in store for us – but it's never been more true than right now. Coming up in July, there's the big-budget end of one of the streaming giant's most ambitious TV adaptations to date, hard-hitting British documentaries, star-studded US comedies, not one but two different musical reality shows and a cute stop-motion series about two of the world's most famous adorable bunnies. So yeah, when we say there's something for everyone coming up in the next few weeks, that's no exaggeration. Here are our 11 top picks of Netflix's new shows and films for July 2025… Tell me more: While Netflix's documentaries haven't always been considered the most tastefully done, the platform's latest acclaimed offering about the London terror attack in 2005 follows its much-praised exploration of the Grenfell Tower disaster last month. Attack On London re-examines the 7/7 tube bombing 20 years later, not just looking back at the attack which killed 52 people and those responsible for it, but also the ensuing impact on both the country and its capital. Netflix says: 'Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers is the untold story of one of the most devastating terror attacks on British soil – and the three weeks of panic, paranoia, and manhunts that changed Britain. '20 years ago, four bombs exploded in London killing 52 people and injuring more than 700. This multi-perspective series will track the frenzied weeks that followed and the hunt to find those responsible. 'Featuring previously unseen archive footage and exclusive interviews with survivors, family members, investigators, intelligence services and those closest to the events, the series will reveal the shockwaves that followed the first explosions. 'As the county struggled to make sense of shocking and unprecedented events, the authorities raced against time to identify the bombers and stop further attacks.' Tell me more: Five years on from the original The Old Guard movie, Charlize Theron is back as Andromache of Scythia in this action-packed superhero sequel. Joining the Oscar winner and returning stars like KiKi Layne and Chiwetel Ejiofor this time around are Henry Golding and Uma Thurman. Netflix says: 'Andy and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. With Booker still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh out for revenge after escaping her underwater prison, Andy grapples with her newfound mortality as a mysterious threat emerges that could jeopardise everything she's worked towards for thousands of years. 'Andy, Nile, Joe, Nicky and James Copley enlist the help of Tuah, an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence. 'Directed by Victoria Mahoney, and also starring Uma Thurman, The Old Guard 2 is an emotional, adrenaline-pumping sequel, based on the world created by Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernandez.' Tell me more: An adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman was a long time coming, after fears that the graphic novel would simply be too difficult to ever recreate in live action. Season one was critically-lauded, and its follow-up – production on which was already underway when allegations against Gaiman were made public – is being split into three different parts, all of which will drop over the course of July. Dream's story is once again told through incredible visual effects and a star-studded cast, led by Tom Sturridge and featuring a host of recognisable faces (and voices!). Netflix says: 'After a fateful reunion with his family, Dream of the Endless must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. 'To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything. Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of The Sandman will tell Dream's story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.' Tell me more: Between projects like Squid Game: The Challenge, The Devil's Plan and even the less-well-received Celebrity Bear Hunt, no one can say that Netflix's competition shows are not ambitious. But All The Sharks just might be its most elaborate to date. The show tasks different teams of marine life enthusiasts with travelling to different corners of the Earth with the intention of photographing as many types of shark as possible for a cash prize. Netflix says: 'A first of its kind competition series where four teams of shark fin-atics travel the world trying to find and photograph every shark imaginable in hopes of claiming the $50,000 prize.' Tell me more: Effectively a mix of Love Is Blind and shows like Popstars: The Rivals, Building The Band features 50 singers who form bonds with fellow competitors without ever actually seeing them, based purely on their voices. Building The Band is also notable as it marks the final on-screen appearance of Liam Payne, who serves as a guest judge once the bands have formed alongside former X Factor judges Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger, the latter of whom is credited with putting Liam together with his One Direction bandmates. Netflix says: 'In a music competition series like no other, 50 singers will form six bands without ever seeing each other— but who will have the vocal talent and chemistry to make it as the winning band? 'Building The Band brings together talented singers for a truly unique competition show where building the perfect band is all about chemistry. The singers are in complete control as they seek to form their very own bands from individual sound booths where they can't see the other artists. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and raw talent. 'What will happen when the bands finally meet and looks, choreography, work ethic and style come into play? With incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal – to find the next great music band – the stage is set for an unforgettable experience. 'The series is hosted by AJ McLean with renowned artist Nicole Scherzinger (The Pussycat Dolls) serving as mentor and judge and music experts and guest judges Kelly Rowland and the late Liam Payne, who bring their unparalleled expertise and personal band experience to the competition.' Tell me more: One of our most-hyped shows of 2025, Too Much is a semi-autobiographical story from Girls creator Lena Dunham about a young woman who moves to London to get over a break-up, only to find that running from her problems isn't as easy as she first thought. Led by Hacks star and internet comic Megan Stalter, Too Much also features The White Lotus favourite Will Sharpe as her main love interest. Netflix says: 'Jessica is a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows. 'When every block in New York tells a story of her own bad behaviour, the only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Bronte sister. But when she meets Felix — a walking series of red flags — she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. 'Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?' Tell me more: Eric Bana and Sam Neill share the screen in this new limited series about a mystery that erupts when a body is discovered in Yosemite Park. Netflix says: 'A character-driven mystery-thriller that follows Kyle Turner, a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature's vast wilderness. The investigation of a brutal death sends Inman on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past.' Tell me more: This is definitely one for fans of hospital-based reality TV like 24 Hours In A&E. Critical spent three weeks filming with the London Major Trauma System, looking not just at individual patients' cases, but also exploring the back stories of the NHS workers who treat them. Netflix says: 'In London, a major trauma happens every 60 minutes, and for the NHS, each call is a race against time. Critical: Between Life and Death gets inside the minds of the dedicated trauma teams that hold our lives in their hands when the worst happens.' Tell me more: They're responsible for some of the biggest hits on the radio today – but how many pop songwriters would you actually recognise if you saw them? This new docuseries helps put a face to the hits we all know and love, while also diving deeper into how a writing camp really goes down. Netflix says: 'Behind every hit song is the person who wrote it. In the new docu-series, Hitmakers, we follow twelve of the industry's best songwriters and producers as they come together at real high-stakes writing camps to create hits for today's biggest stars like John Legend, Shaboozey, and Lisa of Blackpink. 'With tensions high and time short, viewers get a front-row seat to the creative chaos, emotional stakes, and personal breakthroughs. This isn't just about writing music… it's the journey to becoming a Hitmaker.' Tell me more: We were absolutely hooked on the cosy magic of Pokémon Concierge last year, and this new stop-motion Netflix series looks to be every bit as captivating. Inspired by the popular Sanrio characters, Hello Kitty's friends My Melody and Kuromi are taking centre stage in what looks to be the most adorable new show of 2025. Netflix says: 'A stop-motion animation series starring My Melody and Kuromi, two globally popular Sanrio characters, is born! 'My Melody is a straightforward and cheerful girl.
