Hijack, the new thriller from AppleTV+, isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel with its story. After all, it gives away the main hook of the narrative in its title. But with a cast lead by Idris Elba, I was hoping that the series would turn out to be more than a run-of-the-mill hijacking story and […]
There’s something almost soothing about watching an episode of Strange New Worlds.

I’ll be the first to admit that I really don’t understand the appeal of Pete Davidson, the former SNL star who has found himself the fascination of the tabloids, gossip sites, and the world at large (through little of his own doing) over the past several years. I’ve found him to be fine in his […]
