There were a lot of really good streaming shows and movies this year. Among my personal favorites were Odin, succession, Ted Lasso and Y: the last man.

This week’s list includes Vikings, Hercule Poirot, and a look at the upcoming Showtime series about the early days of Uber.

As a child, amleth, the heir to the Viking throne, witnesses his uncle fjolnir murder his father. King aurvandi, providing him with the mantra’I will avenge you, father. I will kill you, fjolnir’ even though they all speak English, the Vikings have what sound like appropriate Scandinavian accents.

Travis Kalanick was ousted from the CEO role of the ride-hailing startup, but not before a lot of drama, both in public and behind the scenes. Super pumped: the battle for Uber premieres on Showtime February 27.

The silent sea premieres its first episode on Netflix December 24th. Gong Yoo, Bae doona, and Lee Joon star in the series.

Poirot’s version of Hercule Poirot mysteries is one of the many theatrical releases delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Poirot is aboard a ship on the Nile river, when a murder occurs and he has to determine who among the ship’s passengers is responsible. Some apparent discussion within Disney of reshooting his scenes or removing him digitally after the actor was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.
