Twisters

Twisters has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Hulu. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. 3,050 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch Daisy Edgar-Jones work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

There is a reason Twisters keeps coming up in conversation. At its heart, Twisters understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. As storm season intensifies, the paths of former storm chaser Kate Carter and reckless social-media superstar Tyler Owens collide when terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed. The pair and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives. Credit to Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. It hit screens in 2024. The plot mechanics of Twisters never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Twisters will keep you hooked. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Daisy Edgar-Jones anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
