Prime Video continues to embrace rom-coms with The Idea of You, the Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine romance based on the novel of the same name by Robinne Lee.
If you’re more of a non-fiction reader, there are plenty of books that will suit your fancy. Ryan Murphy‘s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. The show, inspired by Capote’s Women by Laurence Leamer, kept us rapt as the FX limited series explored Truman Capote’s infamous fallout with a bevy of socialites. Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer by James L. Swanson was adapted into a riveting Apple TV+ series starring Outlander alum Tobias Menzies.
