This week three highly anticipated new releases arrive on Prime Video, one in Italy and two around the world. In fact, the finale of The Boys 5 will be released on Wednesday 20 May, the last season of the mother series awaiting the release of the next prequel spin-off series Vought Rising (widely announced in this fifth season, to be honest). Also on the 20th, the new film Jack Ryan: Ghost War is released, the sixth in this saga inspired by the character of Tom Clancy. On Friday, however, the first 4 episodes of The 50 Italia arrive, the long-awaited new reality show with fifty celebrities ready to compete to make… a spectator win. Finally, watch out for titles that are about to expire because there are masterpieces such as Seven Years in Tibet and The Last of the Mohicans. As always, the choice is yours, good viewing and have a good week.
