The year 2026 has seen a diverse range of films and TV series, with some truly outstanding productions and others that have fallen short. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the best and worst of the year so far.
On the positive side, there's 'Amandaland', a sitcom that follows the misadventures of a pretentious influencer, and 'Babies', a heart-wrenching drama that explores the challenges of infertility. Other notable mentions include 'The Christophers', a film about ageing, inheritance, and artistic taste, and 'Dreams', a taut morality tale about passion and power.
Other standout series include 'Half Man', a nerve-shredding exploration of obsession and trauma, and 'Legends', a thrilling drama about little-known British heroes. Documentaries like 'Henry David Thoreau' and films like 'I Swear' have also received critical acclaim.
However, not all productions have been successful. 'The Bride!' is a frightfully bad film that fails to come to life, while 'Imperfect Women' is a show that's bingeable but unsatisfying. Other notable mentions for worst include 'Ladies First', a film that's over-the-top and nauseating, and 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie', a plotless and gross misuse of time.
All of these shows and films were released in America or Britain in 2026 and are available to watch in cinemas or on streaming platforms.
