Copenhagen Cowboy is Netflix’s strangest crime series — and that’s the point

For anyone who’s been following Nicolas Winding Refn for the past three decades, he can be an … acquired taste. The Danish auteur possesses an abundance of style, but over the years, his work has veered from more straightforward crime thrillers (the Pusher trilogy, Drive ) to genre-bending projects that move at a snail’s pace. (His 13-hour Prime Video miniseries, Too Old to Die Young , is incredible if you have the patience for it.) But if you want something that lands in a satisfying middle between Refn at his most conventional and Refn at his most experimental, it’s worth diving into his 2023 Netflix series, Copenhagen Cowboy . source https://www.polygon.com/copenhagen-cowboy-netflix/

Mixtape isn't 2026's only great music game

Some video game trends are easy to trace back to their source. When we got a wave of battle royale games in 2018, there was no question that they sprung up around the popularity of PUBG and Fortnite . Other trends are harder to pin down. For example, I can’t figure out why we’re getting so many video games about music this year. I’m not complaining, though, because that trend frankly rocks (and rolls). Not only does it mean 2026 has had some fantastic soundtracks, but it has also offered some poignant reflections on how important music is to our daily lives. source https://www.polygon.com/music-games-trend-2026/
