Rivers of Fate seems sprung to life as a dare, almost as if directors Fernando and Quico Meirelles were trying to win a bet about...

We need to talk. Butterfly was already a sneaky show, a family drama masquerading as an espionage thriller, but its ending shifts it into different,...

Prime Video’s espionage thriller Butterfly, based on the BOOM! Studios graphic novel series created by Arash Amel and Marguerite Bennett, is a family affair as much...

First appearances can be deceiving. What Butterfly looks like, on the surface, is a pretty generic espionage thriller, not meaningfully different in Prime Video’s oeuvre...

You hire Michael Jai White to throw a mean side kick, look cool, and probably take his shirt off at some point, and on this...

Almost everything you need to know about The Pickup is that it has Eddie Murphy, one of comedy’s all-time icons, play the straight man to...

I’m a simple man who enjoys simple pleasures, and as such, a movie like Osiris should be right up my street. William Kaufman’s indie sci-fi...

When you really boil it down, the ending of Trigger, like the show itself, is a conflict over two competing ideologies. This theme is made...

Trigger has a fascinating and provocative dystopian premise, which imagines Korea awash with free, easily accessible firearms. The only man fighting against the tide is Lee...

The central idea of Trigger is that a lot of people are just waiting for the opportunity to shoot someone. Based on the shooting rates...

Nobody would argue that the ending of Red Eye makes a great deal of sense. You can trace the plot particulars, obviously, but it requires...

Richard Armitage was built for streaming. Stick this guy in a ropey thriller with any concept you like and he’ll do a halfway decent job...

I’ve had more problems with Murderbot than most, but you have to give credit where it’s due. I was right, at least, in my prediction that the...

You’d need both hands and at least half a foot to count all the cool stuff in Leviathan, Netflix’s anime adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s World...

Even if it wasn’t my job, I’d still find myself watching a movie like Ziam. As played out as zombies might be these days, the...

Murderbot is a weird show. I’m pretty sure I’ve said that before, but it’s worth reiterating, since even this deep into the season – Episode 9 is the penultimate outing – I’m still not sure what works best about it.

As a self-important critic, I’m very much a champion of films being Very Serious works of illuminating art intended to expand our horizons and fundamentally...

I never thought The Old Guard was as good as everyone else seemed to. It was fine, don’t get me wrong. It had kinetic hand-to-hand...

And just like that, it’s over. Feels weird, doesn’t it? Ironheart debuted with the first three episodes, and the ending arrives just a week later....
