The US magician David Blaine embarks on a quest in the docu-series "Don't Try This at Home!" to find things that seem like magic but are actually real.

Disney promises a "fascinating journey through some of the world's most extraordinary cultures" for the six episodes. And it goes without saying that Blaine not only observes but also tries the daring stunts himself.

The family, living in the USA, wants to reconnect with their roots, which at least the kids view with skepticism. Unfortunately, in "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip," a cursed statue that Alex found in the attic throws the trip into chaos - and on a grand scale. The only solution is to return the cursed object to its place of origin, slowly but surely turning the wildly mixed family comedy into an 80s adventure film.

One of Bud Spencer's most famous roles is making a comeback: While the Italian film star as Commissioner Rizzo, aka Plattfuß, made criminals tremble in four films, it is now up to "Gomorrah" star Salvatore Esposito to have his heart in the right place and let his fists do the talking. Designed as a miniseries, "Plattfuß - A Cop in Naples" takes a slightly more serious tone in four episodes than the original. Esposito plays the rough-and-ready policeman Vincenzo, who was a protégé of the legendary Rizzo and returns to his hometown of Naples after several years in Stuttgart. There, he cleans up the underworld, albeit with methods that don't always please his superiors. Some things never change.

Hub is tasked with hunting demons that have escaped from hell on the devil's behalf - otherwise, his second chance on Earth is over. So, in a rough-and-ready manner, he makes the best of it, tracking down nasty entities with either a shotgun or a chainsaw.
