If you’re a huge fan of “The Three-Body Problem” and looking for an extremely faithful adaptation of Cixin Liu’s novel, I highly recommend you check out the Chinese-made miniseries currently available on Peacock. If you’re like me and couldn’t make it through the first book of Liu’s trilogy – or if you’ve never read the […]
When I was a child, Saturday morning wasn’t complete without watching that week’s episode of X-Men. As someone who didn’t really follow comics growing up (my dad was a big DC fan, but I never got much into that lore – and back then, Marvel wasn’t anything like it is today). But I loved the […]

If you’re still mourning the loss of HBO’s Our Flag Means Death, the new AppleTV+ comedy series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin might go a little ways toward filling that void in your life. Much like Our Flag Means Death, the series takes a humorous look at the life of a historical figure […]

And the finale of True Detective: Night Country was the perfect combination of the elements that made the series work incredibly well, and those pieces that never gelled fully and caused it to wobble throughout its six-episode run.
