Synopsis: She was a ghost. A knife in boots. Special forces-trained, war-tested, emotionally cauterized. Once upon a time, Jessica Brok had a name that meant death in several dialects. Then she went off-grid. Vanished. She renamed herself Linda. Got a kid. A dusty little house. A vulture rescue center. Because nothing screams emotional healing like feeding dead rats to scavengers. She thought she was done being a weapon. She thought wrong. Enter Daniel. Ex-lover. Ex-comrade. Ex-everything. Long presumed dead, now resurrected in her driveway with a bullet wound and a story soaked in blood. He says they’re coming — the same men who trafficked children, murdered civilians, burned entire villages to hide the evidence. The ones they didn’t kill the first time. Turns out, evil doesn’t die. It adapts. It evolves. And it has Jessica’s name on a list. What follows is a sun-scorched fever dream of violence. Jessica is dragged back into the kill-or-be-killed ballet she thought she’d retired from. Only this time she’s slower, rustier, with a daughter who might become collateral damage. They take her. They torture her. They try to make her small again. They forget who she is. Bad idea. Jessica Brok is a chemical reaction. Grief + Guilt + Training = Apocalypse. She peels off her motherhood like a skin she no longer fits in. She becomes the ghost again. The shadow. The beast in the long grass. Armed with guilt and a knife, she unravels every inch of their outfit with the precision of someone who’s memorized anatomy from the inside out. Every scar she earns is a story. Every broken bone is an indictment. Every death she delivers is a sacrament. The bush becomes a church, and she is the sermon — brutal, efficient, and unforgettable. By the end, the question isn’t whether she’ll survive — it’s whether the part of her that’s human ever comes back. Because some people go through hell. Jessica Brok built a home there.

Synopsis: Hailed as one of the best sci-fi novels and celebrating the 10th anniversary of its release this year, ‘Dark Matter’ is a story about the road not taken. In season one, the series followed Jason Dessen (Edgerton), a physicist, professor and family man who — one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago — is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. Season two picks up with the Dessens as they settle into a quiet life in a world that finally seems safe until the unimaginable forces them to run once again. As Jason’s obsession with the Box deepens, Daniela’s (Connelly) growing paranoia pushes her to the brink, threatening to tear their fragile stability apart. Elsewhere, Amanda (Braga) and Ryan (Simpson) join forces in a desperate attempt to find their way home. With Blair (Brugel) determined to stop him, Leighton (Okeniyi) relentlessly chases his grand vision of creating a perfect world.
