What a week it’s shaping up to be for fans of sci-fi, with Steven Spielberg making his long-awaited return to the genre after nearly a decade. Spielberg’s new movie, Disclosure Day, opened to positive reviews and exceeded box-office expectations this week. It follows a handful of characters who must decide whether to reveal to the world that aliens exist among us. While there’s one obvious companion piece that fans of Spielbergian sci-fi can be certain to check out in their excitement for *Disclosure Day *— Netflix’s The Boroughs — there’s another show that shares the same DNA as Spielberg’s movie, but has largely remained under the radar for the last two years. The series premiered on Apple TV in 2024, disarming audiences with a twist so out of left field that some were turned off entirely.
However, the series in question received positive reviews, and was deemed successful enough to warrant a new season. It will return on Apple TV on June 19, only a week after the release of Disclosure Day. Viewers who’ve already experienced its genre-bending thrills would agree that it makes for complementary viewing alongside Spielberg’s new movie. Those who haven’t needn’t know more about it. The mysterious Disclosure Day, however, didn’t conceal its central conceit while still holding some cards close to its vest. The movie is headlined by Emily Blunt, with Josh O’Connor, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell, Colman Domingo, and **Colin Firth **in supporting roles.
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
The Apple TV show, on the other hand, stars Colin Farrell. We’re talking, of course, about Sugar. Presented as a neo-noir detective drama modeled after classic movies, the show features Farrell as a gumshoe working on a high-profile case in contemporary Los Angeles. It now holds an 81% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “A modern noir steeped in the classic tradition, Sugar could use stronger clues to go along with its ample style, but Colin Farrell’s cool performance keeps things compelling.” Created by Mark Protosevich, the series counts X-Men film franchise architect Simon Kinberg and Breaking Bad alum Sam Catlin as executive producers and Protosevich’s co-showrunners. Sugar’s unique visual aesthetic was established by Brazilian auteur Fernando Meirelles, who directed the first two episodes of Season 1. The show’s second season will premiere on June 19, with new episodes dropping weekly. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
