I'm not sure, but there may have been one or two new movies that have shown up on Tubi in the last week or so. Though at least one of them may be older (maybe it's coming back to Tubi after being away?...). Or maybe Tubi just wasn't showing them to me before now - I guess "Demise" was actually released in late Feb., but only over the last week has Tubi been pushing it at me...

I think Wiki also doesn't treat it as a separate series, which is patently absurd...

Meh. I like Bruhl, but not enough to watch a series on this....

Hit Man          (movie)         (3:01 am, Netflix)
 Very well received at its Venice Film Festival debut in the fall of 2023, Richard Linklater's darkly comedic and sexy modern noir stars man of the moment Glen Powell (Anyone But You) as a college professor who works with the police by posing as an assassin in order to catch people ordering hits, only to find himself falling for a woman (Adria Arjona) ensnared in his trap. Powell and Linklater teamed to write the script, which is based on a wild true story (as chronicled by Texas Monthly's Skip Hollandsworth, the same writer who inspired Linklater's Bernie), and Netflix paid a festival-high $20 million to score the rights to the film at Venice. 1h 55m.
