I love how this film uncovers the extraordinary in such familiar creatures. The Universum Nature highlight follows three urban pigeons through London and New York and reveals their hidden world in a stylish, cinematic way, showing how surprisingly smart, loyal and skilled these often‑overlooked birds really are. 

I’m drawn to this Universum History documentary because it reveals a rarely told side of wartime history. It follows Lionel from Saint Martin into the chaos of World War II, where he is captured and eventually sent to Mauthausen. His survival through skill and resilience makes this docudrama both gripping and deeply moving.

A modern cowboy family fights to save their drying farmland while balancing investor pressure and wolf attacks. This film follows their perseverance and their search for harmony with nature – something I really connect with for its authenticity and its focus on meaningful, forward‑looking stories.

What I like about this series is how it combines friendship and crime in a grounded, relatable way. It follows four women whose long‑standing bond is strained by personal secrets and unexpected investigations in their quiet town. And now with the second season out, the story expands in exciting ways and keeps the intrigue alive.

Stories that challenge first impressions always appeal to me, and this one does exactly that. Karla, a forensic psychiatrist, supports leniency for convicted murderer Anton Lisky — until a colleague is found dead and Lisky disappears. He briefly returns claiming innocence before turning up dead himself. The police close the case, but Karla senses there’s more behind it and pushes into dangerous territory to uncover the truth.

As someone who enjoys exploring lesser‑known creative histories, I find “Vienna Goes Hollywood” fascinating. It highlights Austria’s surprising impact on film music, from early silent‑film accompaniment to Max Steiner’s iconic King Kong score, and shows how Austrian composers helped shape Hollywood.
