The first season of Invincible, Prime Video’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman (who also created the animated series), Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley’s comic series of the same name, was a surprising success for the streaming service. Telling the tale of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), a high school senior with a superhero for a dad (that […]
The 2010s saw the rise of elevated horror movies. These are horror films that have dramatic elements or a wider theme and have often been well-received by critics. Iris K. Shim has gone to this subgenre for her feature debut, Umma. Amanda (Sandra Oh) is a Korean American woman who lives on a farm with […]
Netflix’s new miniseries The Chair is the perfect bite-sized binge. Six episodes, each clocking in at around 30 minutes, packed with plot and laced with humor, the show is fun, engaging, and a great watch. It’s a series that knows what it is – and understands the insane level of talent it possesses in front […]
Raya and the Last Dragon sees Disney enter into the world of martial arts fantasy with their new princess being the most action ordinated heroines. 500 years ago the land of Kumandra was blighted by the Druun, cloud spirits that turn people into stone. The world was saved by the legendary dragon Sisu (Awkwafina), who used […]
In the continuing streaming battle, Amazon has fallen behind not only its early rival Netflix, but also recent additions like AppleTV+ in the push for buzzy shows. I rarely hear people talking about the great new show on Amazon – or even talking about Amazon’s TV offerings at all – which is a bit of […]
And, with an incredibly poetic (albeit frustrating) final scene, Killing Eve wraps its most uneven season to date. While I’ve been writing about it for the past eight weeks, often calling it out for its shockingly incoherent plotting and spiraling narrative, I had genuinely high hopes for the finale. I was expecting it to tie […]
Well gang, we’ve done it. We’ve made it through the penultimate episode of season three of Killing Eve, and I sure hope you understand all of what the show is trying to show us better than I do at this point. Watching this episode I had multiple moments where I was genuinely confused at how […]
We finally got an episode that contained a pretty even balance of the show’s central four characters. It only took nearly the entire season to get us to this point; a season that had far too many rambling narrative tangents that pulled focus away from the season’s central arc, thereby making it a muddled mess […]
Poor Nico. Yet another casualty of the continue push and pull between Eve and Villanelle, albeit one that didn’t stem from either of their direct actions – which is what makes this particular twist a touch more interesting than those that have become before. Sure, we all knew Nico was unlikely to make it out […]
And just like that, they pulled her back in. We all knew Eve was going to get back in the game sooner rather than later (there’s no show if Eve isn’t working as a spy in some capacity, after all), and Kenny’s death certainly has provided the perfect path back into the life that has […]
