★★★★☆
Money Heist is Spain's global hit about the Professor and a crew in Dalí masks taking over the Royal Mint. Pulpy, addictive and overstretched in its later parts.
Yes, with reservations. It is gloriously addictive heist television for thriller fans who love cliffhangers, though the later parts grow repetitive and far-fetched.
★★★½☆
Monisme is Riar Rizaldi's experimental hybrid of documentary and fiction about life on Mount Merapi, a hypnotic, demanding film that rewards patient viewers.
Yes, for adventurous viewers. It is a striking, atmospheric experiment about people and a volcano, but its elusive structure will frustrate anyone who wants a story.
★★★★½
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo sends a modern woman into a Goryeo court of rival princes, and grows into one of the most wrenching K-drama romances of its era.
Yes. Be patient with an uneven first stretch; it suits viewers who want a sweeping, painful historical romance rather than a light time-slip comedy.
★★★½☆
Moonlight is Barry Jenkins's Best Picture-winning drama about a young Black man in Miami, told in three chapters: beautifully made, if at times too withholding.
Yes, with reservations. Its performances and images are exceptional, but its quiet, elliptical style asks viewers to fill in more than some will want to.
★★★★☆
Moonlit Reunion is a 38-episode Chinese fantasy romance pairing a half-demon guardian with a demon slayer, a costume drama built on secrets that mostly pay off.
Yes, with some patience. It suits fans of Chinese historical fantasy who enjoy slow-burn romance and hidden-identity plots, and can tolerate a long, uneven middle.
★★★★½
Move to Heaven follows two trauma cleaners sorting the belongings of people who died alone, a 10-episode Korean drama that turns each case into a small elegy.
Yes. It is one of the most moving Korean dramas of its decade, best for viewers ready for a gentle but tearful series about death, family and dignity.
★★★★½
Moving is Kang Full's 20-episode Korean superhero saga about gifted teenagers and the parents hiding them, a family drama that happens to fly, heal and fight.
Yes. It is the rare superhero series with real emotional weight, ideal for viewers who want character drama first and can handle a long, violent run.
★★★★☆
Mr Bates vs The Post Office dramatises the Horizon scandal in four episodes, a plainly made but furious ITV drama whose impact reached far beyond television.
Yes. It is essential for anyone who wants to understand the Horizon scandal, even if the drama itself is more earnest and straightforward than inventive.
★★★★½
Mr. Queen puts a brash modern chef inside the body of a Joseon queen, a 20-episode Korean farce with sharp palace politics and a star turn from Shin Hye-sun.
Yes. It is one of the funniest historical K-dramas around, best for viewers who enjoy broad comedy and court intrigue and can forgive some crude, dated jokes.
★★★☆☆
Ms. Rachel brings Rachel Accurso's toddler songs and speech practice from YouTube to Netflix: gentle and effective for small children, but narrow as television.
It depends. For parents of toddlers it is one of the better screen-time options; for anyone past preschool age, there is nothing here to watch.
★★★½☆
Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha is a 32-episode Pakistani love triangle about a confession that comes too late, powered by Wahaj Ali and Hania Aamir but padded by its length.
Mostly yes. Fans of tearjerking Urdu romance and its three leads will be well served, but viewers who want tight plotting may tire of the long middle stretch.
★★★☆☆
Mulan is Niki Caro's live-action remake of Disney's animated classic, reworked as a songless martial-arts epic. It looks spectacular but feels oddly remote.
It depends. Viewers after sweeping visuals and wuxia-flavoured action will enjoy it; fans of the 1998 film's humour, songs and heart may feel shortchanged.
★★★½☆
Munafik 2 is Syamsul Yusof's Malaysian horror sequel, an openly religious ghost story about faith and hypocrisy that scares effectively despite its melodrama.
Yes, with reservations. It is a confident, genuinely creepy Islamic horror film for genre fans, though its heavy melodrama and sermonising will not suit everyone.
★★★½☆
Munjya is Aditya Sarpotdar's Hindi horror-comedy about a lovesick spirit from Konkan folklore, a lively, funny ride held back by a formulaic second half.
Yes, with reservations. It is a fun, folklore-rich horror-comedy for a group watch, though uneven effects and a predictable final stretch keep it from the top tier.
★★★★☆
Mustang is Deniz Gamze Ergüven's Turkish-language debut about five orphaned sisters locked away ahead of arranged marriages: vivid, angry and full of life.
Yes. It is a gripping, beautifully acted coming-of-age drama with real fury underneath, though its fable-like simplicity sometimes flattens the adults around the girls.
★★★★☆
My Demon pairs a powerless demon with a chaebol heiress in a glossy 16-episode Korean fantasy rom-com, lifted by Kim Yoo-jung and Song Kang's easy chemistry.
Yes, with reservations. It is a fun, stylish fantasy romance for K-drama fans who want banter and chemistry, though the later mystery plotting gets muddled.
★★★½☆
My ID Is Gangnam Beauty is a 16-episode Korean campus rom-com about a student judged for her plastic surgery, lighter than its themes but sharper than its logline.
Mostly yes. It suits viewers who like gentle campus romance with a social edge, as long as they can accept a thin love story and a tidy, soft-focus finish.
★★★★☆
My Love from the Star pairs a 400-year-old alien with a vain top actress in a 21-episode Korean fantasy rom-com, powered by Jun Ji-hyun's fearless comic lead.
Yes. It is a landmark K-drama romance that still charms, best for fans of fantasy rom-coms who can accept a clunky villain subplot and some dated gloss.
★★★★★
My Mister is a slow, hushed Korean drama about a weary engineer and a debt-crushed young woman, and one of the finest television series Korea has produced.
Yes, unreservedly. It suits patient viewers who want character drama of real depth; expect a bleak start that slowly gives way to something profoundly consoling.
★★★★☆
My Name is an eight-episode Korean revenge thriller about a young woman who goes undercover in the police for a drug lord, driven by Han So-hee's ferocious lead.
Yes, with reservations. It is a lean, brutal action thriller for viewers who like undercover crime stories and can live with a plot that follows familiar tracks.
★★★★☆
My Neighbor Totoro is Hayao Miyazaki's gentle Studio Ghibli fantasy about two sisters, a country house and a giant forest spirit, a film of pure, unhurried wonder.
Yes. It is a warm, enchanting family film that captures childhood like few others, though its slight, episodic story may feel slow to viewers expecting adventure.
★★★★½
Naga Bonar is the beloved Indonesian comedy about a con man who makes himself a guerrilla commander in the independence war, powered by Deddy Mizwar's iconic lead.
Yes. It is a warm, funny and surprisingly moving classic of Indonesian cinema, ideal for anyone curious about the country's film history, despite its dated production values.
★★★★½
Narcos chronicles the DEA's war on Colombia's cocaine cartels across three seasons, a propulsive Netflix crime drama anchored by Wagner Moura's Pablo Escobar.
Yes. It is one of the most gripping crime dramas of the streaming era, ideal for viewers who like true-story thrillers and can handle a lot of graphic violence.
★★★★★
Ne Zha 2 is Jiaozi's record-breaking Chinese animated sequel, a vast, funny and thunderous myth about two outcast boys taking on heaven and the dragon clans.
Yes. It is a dazzling, emotionally charged animated epic and one of the most spectacular films of the decade; watch the 2019 original first for the full effect.
