Apple TV+: two different kinds of thriller

Mayday — September 4

Ryan Reynolds plays Lieutenant Troy "Assassin" Kelly, a US Navy pilot sent into Russian territory during the Cold War. After the mission collapses, Troy is stranded behind enemy lines and depends on Nikolai Ustinov, a former KGB agent played by Kenneth Branagh. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein directed the action comedy. Apple TV+ releases the film globally on September 4. 7

Mayday runs 1 hour 50 minutes and carries a PG-13 rating. Rotten Tomatoes currently lists an 83% Tomatometer from 52 reviews and 0 audience ratings. 1

Verdict: Watch It. The film has a settled critic signal, a manageable runtime, and a clear two-hander at its center. Choose it for a Friday movie rather than a series commitment.

Last Seen — September 9

Patrick Brammall plays police detective Ian Ridley, whose daughter Maggie disappeared 11 years earlier. Ian now works as a police dispatcher. A distress call from a teenage girl he believes is Maggie sends him back into the search. Maxine Peake, Brendan Cowell, Daniel Henshall, Zahra Newman, and Jessica Wren also star. 8

Apple TV+ starts the six-episode season with two episodes on September 9, then releases one episode each Wednesday through October 7. Rotten Tomatoes shows 0 critic reviews and 0 audience ratings for the season at this check. 2 8

Verdict: Watch It. Two opening episodes give the mystery enough room to establish its hook. The lack of an RT score makes the premise and Brammall's lead performance the main reasons to sample it.

Netflix: a military thriller and a French ensemble reunion

Fauda Season 5 — September 8

Two years after October 7, Doron and the other fighters face a new threat while carrying the trauma of the war that preceded it. An old friend's unsanctioned revenge mission in Marseille pulls Doron into a deep-cover operation. Lior Raz returns as Doron Kavillio, with Mélanie Laurent, Hakim Djaziri, Yaakov Zada Daniel, and Doron Ben-David in the cast. Netflix Tudum lists 11 episodes and a September 8 global release. 9

The season is rated TV-MA and categorized as crime drama. Rotten Tomatoes shows 0 critic reviews and 0 audience ratings for Season 5. 3

Lior Raz as Doron Kavillio in Fauda Season 5, holding his hands to his head outdoors — *Lior Raz as Doron Kavillio in Netflix's *Fauda* Season 5. Netflix Tudum supplied the official still.*

Verdict: Binge-Worthy. Eleven episodes make this the week's largest commitment, while the returning cast and the show's established espionage setup give existing viewers a clear entry point. Newcomers should start with Season 1.

Call My Agent! The Movie — September 10

Five years after ASK Agency closed, Andréa is preparing to direct her first feature. Her lead actor quits, her producer relationship breaks down, and the former agency team gathers around a troubled film set. Camille Cottin, Laure Calamy, Thibault de Montalembert, Grégory Montel, and Nicolas Maury return. Netflix Tudum identifies Émilie Noblet as director. 10

The film runs 1 hour 57 minutes. Rotten Tomatoes lists 2 critic reviews and 0 audience ratings, with no percentage displayed at this check. 4

Verdict: Watch It. The film is built for viewers who already know the ASK team. The near-two-hour runtime suits a single evening, while newcomers may find the returning ensemble's history easier to appreciate after watching the original series.

Hulu: the Snowfall world moves into the music business

The Drop: A Snowfall Saga — September 8

Wanda Bell and Leon Simmons navigate 1990s Los Angeles as West Coast rap rises from the fallout of the crack epidemic. Ambition, loyalty, and survival collide as the characters try to build something that lasts. Hulu's schedule lists the series for September 8, and Rotten Tomatoes lists eight episodes with new episodes scheduled weekly. 5 11

Rotten Tomatoes lists the series as TV-MA crime drama with music elements. The page shows 3 critic reviews without a displayed percentage and 0 audience ratings. 5

Verdict: Watch It. The 1990s Los Angeles setting and music-business focus give the series a distinct lane, while the weekly rollout keeps the commitment below a full-season binge. Viewers who want direct Snowfall continuity should know that the new story follows Wanda and Leon rather than Franklin Saint.

HBO Max: a heist hidden inside a city evacuation

Fuze — September 4

An unexploded World War II bomb is found at a London construction site, triggering a citywide evacuation. A criminal crew uses the emergency as cover for a carefully planned heist. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James star, and David Mackenzie directs. 12

HBO Max lists Fuze as a September 4 arrival. Rotten Tomatoes records an earlier May 26 streaming release, so the HBO Max date is a catalog arrival rather than the film's first streaming release. The film runs 1 hour 37 minutes, carries an R rating, and has a 72% Tomatometer from 112 reviews plus a 78% Popcornmeter from more than 100 verified ratings. 6 13

Verdict: Watch It. The short runtime and settled RT numbers make Fuze the easiest Max pick for viewers who want a contained action thriller. The evacuation-and-heist setup matters more here than the platform's September arrival label.

Bottom line

For a scored movie night: Mayday — 1 hour 50 minutes, 83% critics, and a Reynolds–Branagh pairing.
For a shorter heist: Fuze — 1 hour 37 minutes, 72% critics and 78% audience.
For a weekly mystery: Last Seen — two episodes on September 9, then one each week; RT has no score yet.
For a returning spy drama: Fauda Season 5 — 11 episodes and a TV-MA commitment.
For a French comedy-drama reunion: Call My Agent! The Movie — 1 hour 57 minutes and a cast built around the original agency.
For a music-industry crime drama: The Drop: A Snowfall Saga — eight weekly episodes on Hulu.
