Endlings: Season 2
Available on Hulu
If you’re a fan of Stranger Things but you want to watch something more kid-friendly and lighthearted, you might find Endlings just as interesting. This teenage science fiction show written by multiple-time Emmy-winner J.J. Johnson is about four foster children who team up with an alien to save other extraterrestrial beings. The first season was well-received, and many people like that the show addresses topics such as foster care and the treatment of animals.
Outside the Wire
Available on Netflix
Outside the Wire shares a sci-fi thread with Endings, as it is an action movie with war and androids. The movie takes place in 2036 after a civil war in Eastern Europe. The story follows a drone pilot, played by Damson Idris, who is sent into the war zone to stop a nuclear attack. He is paired with a top-secret android officer, played by Anthony Mackie, and both characters have to save the world.
No Escape

For a great recent thriller, No Escape might be the ideal choice. No Escape tells the story of Cole (Keegan Allen), a young social media influencer who travels with his friends to Moscow. He believes that Moscow would be a great place to record some good content for his successful vlogging channel. As he tries to push his limits to gain more of an audience, Cole and his friends find themselves in a dangerous and frightening situation.
Radium Girls

Period drama Radium Girls is based on a true story. It depicts young women working under dangerous conditions in a New Jersey radium factory in the 1920s. Some of the women who work in the factory become ill from radiation poisoning, which compels them to advocate for safer work conditions.

Initially, the movie was slated for a wide release in April 2020, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic delayed its release until December 15.
