It turns out I’m in the market for middle-aged men whooping people. Who’d have thought? The ahjussi angle that seems to have been a clear...

While John Sugar being an alien is the primary differentiating twist of his namesake Apple TV show, it does have some downsides. One of the...

For a brief moment, the ending of Enola Holmes 3 feels like the ending of the entire franchise, which, based on this most recent effort,...

Enola Holmes is one of the strange streaming curios that sprang up during the pandemic and felt like a novel distraction more than the beginning...

Season 3 of House of the Dragon continues to be about big moments almost exclusively. The premiere, which revolved around the Battle of the Gullet, killed off...

Giant battles full of dragons and destruction are all well and good, but the heart of a story like House of the Dragon lives in the aftermath. It beats to the rhythm of bodies washing up against the rocks of a shoreline and hides in the wreckage of naval fleets razed to matchsticks.

As obviously dreadful a film as Citizen Vigilante is, its cult success has become impossible to ignore (and has perhaps even spawned a sequel already)....

You know exactly where Agent Kim Reactivated is going in Episode 1 and 2, but this isn’t a criticism. It’s one of those stories – think John Wick or Nobody – that hinges on the catharsis of a seemingly ordinary, run-of-the-mill guy secretly being an all-action killing machine, so the premiere is about fostering that vibe.

John Sugar is an immigrant, a literal alien, which is probably worth keeping in the back of your mind when watching Season 2 of Sugar. Not that the show is going to let you forget it, at least not based on Episode 2, “Downer Town”, which is very much backdropped by the idea of people making their way in strange places that are often hostile to them, and feeling, privately, that they’re completely on their own in doing so.

While we’re technically still stuck in Ba Sing Se, which was already beginning to feel a bit limiting, Episode 5 of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2...

Ba Sing Se is good and bad for Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2. Having all of the cast in the same place, in a location that...

Since Avatar: The Last Airbender is adapting such a long-running anime, condensing so many arcs into single digestible episodes, it has a tendency to feel anthological in...

Some people don’t have a great deal of luck, and I’m starting to think that Prince Zuko is one of them. Sure, you can make...

Since the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender is fairly complex and dense at the best of times, it’s probably only right that Season 2 starts with...

It’s impossible to talk about Avatar: The Last Airbender without also talking about One Piece. Both are live-action adaptations of extremely beloved and long-running anime series streaming on...

House of the Dragon Season 3 got off to a pretty chaotic start, and with all the action going on in the Gullet and King’s...

House of the Dragon opening Season 3 with the Battle of the Gullet seems like something of a mission statement. Considered to be one of...
