Assassin’s Creed is all there is for me on this list, though I do own the DVD so oh well.
Did watch Blood of Zeus this week, it was decent, but would suggest watching it in one sitting as it might not get you back if you have other things to do. Not a “gotta see what happens next” kinda show, but worth a watch.
