Denzel Washington first made the role iconic in Tony Scott’s 2004 film. Now, Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Watchmen, Ambulance) steps into the shoes of John Creasy, a former Special Forces mercenary haunted by PTSD who is desperately trying to rebuild his life far from combat. When the daughter of his dead mentor becomes a target, Creasy is pulled back into the violence he had been trying to leave behind, this time on the unforgiving streets of Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on both A.J. Quinnell’s original 1980 novel and its sequel, The Perfect Kill, the seven-episode series has room to go deeper into Creasy’s trauma and moral fractures than any film adaptation has managed. Billie Boullet, Alice Braga, Scoot McNairy and Bobby Cannavale round out the cast.

Glory (May 1)
One of the most exciting Indian OTT premieres of the month, Glory is the kind of sports drama that uses its arena as a lens, not a backdrop. Set in the competitive world of boxing, the series follows the aftermath of the suspicious death of a young, promising boxer named Nihal Singh, turning what begins as a tragedy into a layered murder mystery that implicates his coaches, rivals and family alike. Pulkit Samrat and Divyenndu lead a strong ensemble that also features Suvinder Vicky, Ashutosh Rana, Sikandar Kher, Jannat Zubair and Sayani Gupta.
