      Three Little Birds I BritBox Original I Trailer

      Offering a distinct perspective on the immigrant experience in America, *Three Little Birds* recounts the journeys of three Jamaican women who moved to the U.K. during the 1950s and 1960s. The series is rooted in true stories about immigration, exploring the challenges these women faced and the community they established in their new surroundings. Few programs accurately portray this specific aspect of British life, making *Three Little Birds* a vital reminder of the impact immigration has had on British culture today. You can watch *Three Little Birds* on BritBox.

      **The Responder (2022-)**

      While BritBox features a plethora of police dramas, *The Responder* offers a more distinctive take. The series follows urgent responder Chris Carson (played by Martin Freeman) as he navigates night shifts in Liverpool. Amidst various high-pressure situations where he tries to save lives, Chris also grapples with his own declining mental health and the corruption that threatens to overshadow his efforts. With an outstanding performance from Freeman and a relentless pace reminiscent of the finest medical dramas, *The Responder* is genuinely worthwhile. You can watch *The Responder* on BritBox.

      **Oliver Twist (2007)**

      This adaptation of one of Charles Dickens's most cherished works features several remarkable performances and utilizes its extended runtime to thoroughly explore every element of the novel. Timothy Spall and Tom Hardy star, but what stands out most is how the series emphasizes the poverty and desperation central to Dickens's original story. Although *Oliver Twist* is likely to be adapted many more times, this 2007 rendition is among the very best. You can watch *Oliver Twist* on BritBox.

      Joe Allen is a freelance writer for Digital Trends, where he covers Movies and TV, frequently writing about streaming content.

      In a new video for *Thunderbolts*, Florence Pugh showcases her adventurous side by jumping off the world's second-tallest skyscraper. “I love heights,” Pugh expresses in a Marvel video detailing the adrenaline-pumping stunt. To kick off the film with excitement, Pugh leaped from the Merdeka 118, a 2,227-foot tower located in Kuala Lumpur. Initially, director Jake Schreier faced objections from Disney regarding the stunt, which he considered a reasonable concern. However, Pugh's determination to perform the jump ultimately convinced the studio to approve the scene.

      In an interview with Digital Trends, Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza discuss their new film, *Warfare*, and how they filmed it in real-time. As a writer and director, Garland is accustomed to immersing audiences in his unique narratives, spanning from zombie apocalypses (*28 Days Later*) to dystopian futures (*Civil War*) and post-apocalyptic landscapes (*Dredd*). In *Warfare*, he delves into a realm defined by former soldier Ray Mendoza. This immersive war film centers on a group of Navy SEALs on a surveillance mission in Ramadi in 2006. Upon taking control of a multi-level house within insurgent territory, the mission spirals out of control, leading to a harrowing ambush where the SEALs must fight for survival. Based on Mendoza's memories and those of other survivors, *Warfare* is a visceral, constantly intense thriller that offers an unyielding depiction of combat.

      After being one of the inaugural shows on Apple TV+, *Mythic Quest* has been canceled following its fourth season, as reported by Variety.

The season 4 finale originally aired on March 26. “Endings are hard.
