★★★½☆
Hit Man is Richard Linklater's sly screwball comedy about a professor posing as a contract killer, a star vehicle for Glen Powell with a wobbly final act.
Mostly yes. It is a sexy, clever crime comedy with a star-making lead, ideal for a fun night in, though its moral wobble in the final stretch will not sit well with everyone.
★★★★☆
Holy Cow is Louise Courvoisier's warm, earthy debut about a Jura teenager who tries to make prize-winning cheese after his father's death. It is funny and tender.
Yes. It is a charming, unsentimental coming-of-age drama with a terrific young cast, best for viewers who enjoy rural settings and humour mixed with grief.
★★★★☆
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha is a 16-episode Korean seaside rom-com about a city dentist and a village handyman, with Shin Min-a and Kim Seon-ho at their most charming.
Yes. It is superior comfort television for romance fans and anyone craving a warm small-town story, even if the late turn into melodrama is less assured.
★★★★★
Hospital Playlist is Shin Won-ho's two-season Korean medical drama about five doctors who have been friends since medical school, and it is comfort TV at its finest.
Yes. It is one of the warmest dramas Korean TV has produced, essential for anyone who loves ensemble storytelling, provided you are happy with a gentle, unhurried pace.
★★★★½
Hotel Del Luna is the Hong sisters' 16-episode ghost-hotel fantasy, a glamorous, melancholy Korean romance built around a commanding IU performance.
Yes. It is one of the most stylish and moving fantasy K-dramas, a perfect gateway for newcomers and romance fans, even if some ghost-of-the-week episodes are uneven.
★★★★☆
House of Cards is Netflix's landmark Washington drama about a ruthless congressman's rise, superb in its early seasons before later years lose their grip.
Yes, with reservations. The first seasons are gripping political theatre for fans of antihero drama, but the quality slips later and the final season is the weakest.
★★★★☆
House of Hummingbird is Kim Bora's patient coming-of-age drama about a 14-year-old girl in 1994 Seoul, observed with rare precision and tenderness.
Yes, if you have patience for quiet drama. It is a precise, moving portrait of early adolescence that rewards viewers who like small details.
★★★★☆
House of the Dragon is HBO's Game of Thrones prequel, a sumptuous Targaryen family tragedy about a contested succession that slides the realm into civil war.
Yes, with reservations. It is a handsome, well-acted return to Westeros for fantasy and political-drama fans, though its slow pace and time jumps test patience.
★★½☆☆
Housefull is Sajid Khan's loud Hindi farce about a self-declared jinx and his tangled romances, with a strong cast working hard for too few real laughs.
Mostly no. A few gags land and the cast is game, but the farce is overlong and crude. Best for existing fans of Akshay Kumar's slapstick era.
★★★★★
How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies is Pat Boonnitipat's Thai family drama about a grandson chasing an inheritance, and a quietly devastating one.
Yes. It is funny, unsentimental and deeply moving. Ideal for anyone who has cared for an ageing relative, and for fans of intimate family drama.
★★★★☆
Howl's Moving Castle is Hayao Miyazaki's ravishing anti-war fantasy about a cursed young hatter and a vain wizard, gorgeous even when its plot comes loose.
Yes. Its images, music and heroine are enchanting, even if the story unravels late. Ideal for Ghibli fans, families with older kids and fantasy lovers.
★★★½☆
Hubungi Agen Gue is the Indonesian remake of Call My Agent, a glossy eight-episode satire of Jakarta show business that works best when it leans into local chaos.
Mostly yes. It is a sharp, glossy showbiz comedy for fans of Call My Agent and Indonesian cinema, though it follows the French template closely and some episodes feel thin.
★★★★½
Humsafar is the landmark 2011 Pakistani drama about an arranged marriage torn apart by family scheming, with Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan's defining on-screen pairing.
Yes. It remains the gold standard of Pakistani romantic drama, essential for fans of Urdu serials and newcomers alike, provided you can embrace classic melodrama.
★★★☆☆
Hunger is a sleek Thai kitchen drama about a young street-food cook drawn into Bangkok's elite catering world. Striking to look at, heavy-handed in its message.
It depends. Chutimon is excellent and the food scenes are gorgeous, but the class satire is blunt. Best for fans of intense kitchen dramas.
★★★★☆
I May Destroy You is Michaela Coel's daring 12-episode London drama about a writer rebuilding her life after an assault, as funny as it is unflinching.
Yes, if you are ready for it. It is bold, brilliant television about consent and recovery, best for viewers who can handle difficult themes and an unconventional structure.
★★★★½
I Saw the Devil is Kim Jee-woon's savage Korean revenge thriller, a brilliantly made duel between an agent and a serial killer that dares you to keep watching.
Yes, if you can handle extreme violence. It is one of the most gripping revenge thrillers ever made, but squeamish viewers should stay well away.
★★★½☆
I Will Find You is Netflix's eight-episode Harlan Coben thriller about a jailed father who breaks out to find the son he was convicted of killing.
Mostly yes. It is absurd but hard to switch off, a solid binge for Harlan Coben fans and lovers of twisty pulp, provided you leave plausibility at the door.
★★★★☆
Ikatan Cinta is the RCTI sinetron that gripped Indonesia during the pandemic, a family melodrama powered by the Andin and Aldebaran romance, spread over 1,372 episodes.
Yes, as a cultural event. Sample its first year to see why Indonesia was hooked on Andin and Aldebaran, but few viewers will need all 1,372 episodes of melodrama.
★★★★☆
Iljimae is a 20-episode Korean period adventure about a masked Joseon thief who robs the corrupt, carried by Lee Joon-gi's dashing double-life lead.
Yes. It is a stylish, exciting sageuk for fans of historical action and hidden-identity heroes, provided you can forgive 2008-era effects and a baggy middle stretch.
★★★★☆
I'm Not a Robot is a Korean sci-fi rom-com in which a woman poses as a humanoid robot for a recluse allergic to people, and it is far more tender than it sounds.
Yes. It is a sweet, funny and quietly melancholy romance for K-drama fans who like offbeat premises, though the corporate subplot drags in the second half.
★★★★★
I'm Still Here is Walter Salles's true story of a Rio family torn apart by Brazil's dictatorship, a restrained masterpiece led by a superb Fernanda Torres.
Yes. It is a quietly devastating, beautifully acted true story about grief and defiance. Essential for anyone who values humane, restrained drama.
★★★★☆
Imperfect is Ernest Prakasa's Indonesian comedy-drama about a young woman judged for her looks, a funny, heartfelt crowd-pleaser with a sincere message.
Yes. It is funny, warm and genuinely useful about beauty pressure, even if its message is spelled out. Great for families and friends watching together.
★★★☆☆
Imperfect Women is an eight-episode Apple TV+ murder mystery about three lifelong friends, glossy and well cast but more shuffled than deep.
It depends. Fans of Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss or Kate Mara will find it easy to watch; viewers who want a sharp, surprising mystery can skip it.
★★★★☆
Impetigore is Joko Anwar's Indonesian folk horror about a young woman who returns to her birth village to claim an inheritance, beautiful, cruel and gripping.
Yes, for horror fans with strong nerves. It is atmospheric, frightening and superbly made, though a talky final stretch and heavy gore will divide viewers.
