The strong buzz around shows like COBRA KAI, DO YOU WANT TO SEE A DEAD BODY, and SCARE PewDiePie have moved the platform best known for vlogs, a random kid who likes turtles, and Charlie's appetite for fingers closer to a Netflix, HULU, or Amazon alternative. 

New shows announced:

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

By
David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive remains one of the most haunting and enigmatic films ever made. It operates like a riddle that refuses to be solved, luring the viewer into a world where time, memory, and identity dissolve into one another. What begins as a mysterious, almost whimsical Hollywood fairy tale gradually transforms into a psychological nightmare.
