Our Top-Rated Video-Streaming Services


Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix)

This Sandman spinoff series has the ghosts of two British boarding-school boys born 70 years apart open a detective agency, taking on cases from their fellow specters while evading the attention of Death. Neil Gaiman, who created the characters in the comics, is executive producer.


Anyone But You (Netflix)

In this rom-com, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell play two people who hate each other who pretend to be a real couple for their own ends. In real life, the pair claim they pretended to be a couple for PR. In both cases: it worked! It's not a spoiler to say that the enemies-to-lovers plot works exactly as expected as Anyone But You made over $200 million at the box office worldwide.


We’re Here - Season 4 (Max)

The title of We're Here takes on new significance and triumph in the face of drag bans sweeping the country. The fourth season of the show has the same formula (drag queens from the RuPaul's Drag Race franchise visit small towns in America and uplift people who feel unwelcome in their communities) but with four new hosts: Priyanka, Sasha Velour, Jaida Essence Hall, and Latrice Royale.


Them: The Scare - Season 2 (Prime Video)

The second season of Them magnifies horror by setting it against social injustice (much like Lovecraft Country, the work of director Jordan Peele, and, well, the first season of this very series). It now takes place in LA during the unrest following the murder of Rodney King and has a detective investigating some extra grisly murders.


City Hunter (Netflix)

The manga of the same name now has a live-action movie adaptation. Private detective Ryo is trying to solve the brutal murder of his agency partner when he's joined by the victim's sister.


The Big Door Prize - Season 2 (Apple TV+)

In season one, a small town was thrown into chaos by the arrival of a machine that tells everyone what their potential in life is, causing them to reexamine every aspect of what they thought was their settled selves. In season two, the machine gets weirder and vaguer.


Knuckles (Paramount+)

Time for the sidekicks to strut. Right out of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie comes Knuckles (voiced with a killer deadpan by Idris Elba), starring in his own eponymous show. He teams up with Adam Pally as Deputy Wade to teach the comedy-relief cop the ways of the warrior, just in time for a new threat to surface.

About Chandra Steele

Senior Features Writer

My title is Senior Features Writer, which is a license to write about absolutely anything if I can connect it to technology (I can). I’ve been at PCMag since 2011 and have covered the surveillance state, vaccination cards, ghost guns, voting, ISIS, art, fashion, film, design, gender bias, and more. You might have seen me on TV talking about these topics or heard me on your commute home on the radio or a podcast. Or maybe you’ve just seen my Bernie meme

I strive to explain topics that you might come across in the news but not fully understand, such as NFTs and meme stocks. I’ve had the pleasure of talking tech with Jeff Goldblum, Ang Lee, and other celebrities who have brought a different perspective to it. I put great care into writing gift guides and am always touched by the notes I get from people who’ve used them to choose presents that have been well-received. Though I love that I get to write about the tech industry every day, it’s touched by gender, racial, and socioeconomic inequality and I try to bring these topics to light. 

Outside of PCMag, I write fiction, poetry, humor, and essays on culture.
