What If…? season 3 (Disney Plus)
The final season of What If…? Marvel , is already airing as we speak. Like its forebear, new episodes of season 3 have been dropping daily since December 22, so you’ve already got five to catch up on (if you’re reading this on December 27, anyway) with this Marvel Phase 5 TV show.
So far, I’ve largely enjoyed the stories that What If…? season 3 has told, but I’ll always feel like the MCU project was something of a missed opportunity for the comic giant. Indeed, considering the premise of this series and its comic book namesake, it could’ve been a wilder and more creative affair. Alas, it isn’t and it’s for that reason that it’ll never be part of our best Disney Plus shows guide.

Your Fault (Prime Video)
My Fault (Culpa mía) might not be considered one of the best Prime Video movies , but soapy young adult dramas are a guilty pleasure of mine , so I’ll be watching the sequel Your Fault (Culpa tuya). Based on the Culpables book series by Mercedes Ron, the Spanish-language romantic drama sees Noah (Nicole Wallace) and Nick’s (Gabriel Guevara) passionate romance face new challenges as Noah heads off to college and Nick starts his career.
The first movie became the most-watched non-English-language film on Prime Video in 2023, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the second one is as popular among viewers.

ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing (Prime Video)
Being a well-recognized sports fan is probably a pretty cool experience, and that’s exactly what Xaviar Babudar, aka ChiefsAholic, was, with people in the above trailer comparing him to a god. Well, until he was unmasked as a bank robber, that is. Yeah this story is a pretty crazy one and I’m very keen to watch it!
When ChiefsAholic was arrested in Bixby, Oklahoma, it unraveled a series of bank robberies committed across the Midwest and opened up a secret life. His arrest is documented through his own interviews and the legal journey that followed as we find out how this internet sensation robbed 11 banks stealing more than $800,000 across seven states and laundering the proceeds through casinos. Even if you’re not big on NFL, this story is wild and perfect for those who love a crazy true story. One for our best Prime Video shows list? Potentially.

NFL on Christmas Day (Netflix)
The wait for the the NFL’s big Christmas Day marquee games that’ll see the Kansas City Chiefs (who won The Super Bowl LVIII) face the Pittsburgh Steelers, plus the Baltimore Ravens against the Houston Texans, ended this week, when Netflix subscribers were treated to a Christmas gift with both games live streaming on December 25.
To top it off, Mariah Carey kicked off proceedings with her Christmas staple before Beyoncé stole the halftime show with her first live performance of tracks from the ‘Cowboy Carter’ album. According to Nielsen data , both games became the most-streamed in NFL history with each having an average audience of 24 million viewers. Go sports!

Alien Files: Reopened (Max)
Alien Files: Reopened , which has landed on Max , investigates 75 years of UFO phenomena as investigators try to find the truth behind well-known cases through forensic analysis. With the help from a team of experts, they uncover who’s behind government disinformation, fake abduction stories, and the infiltration of the UFO community. This series challenges perceptions, leaving audiences trying to work out who and what they can trust.
I’ve never watched an alien docuseries before, but maybe it’s time I give one a try. I still don’t expect it to make it onto our best Max shows list, mind you…
