Cruel Intentions        [new; complete season 1]          (12:01 am,
Prime Video)
 
Amazon's series adaptation of the 1999 film of the same name-- which in
turn was yet another adaptation of the 18th century novel Les Liaisons
Dangereuses-- is set at an elite Washington D.C.-area college in the
present day where two ruthless step-siblings battle for power in the
cutthroat social hierarchy of the Greek system. Sean Patrick Thomas
returns from the original film-- as a different character-- alongside Sarah
Catherine Hook, Zac Burgess, Savannah Lee Smith, and more. All eight
episodes stream today

If it doesn't have the hotness equivalent of Sarah Michelle Gellar teaching
Selma Blair how to French kiss, it's not worth it.

Alien: Romulus       (movie; streaming premiere)          (12:01 am, Hulu)
 
While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of
young space colonists come face to face with the most terrifying life
form in the universe. 1h 59m.

Best ALIEN movie in the franchise after ALIEN and ALIENS. It has its problems,
but it makes the Alien terrifying again, which is 90% of what you want from
one of these movies.
