Netflix’s animated spin-off The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is based on one of Andrzej Sapkowski’s most beloved short stories, “A Little Sacrifice”, from the...

The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is mostly fine, from a casual point of view, but it also serves as a reminder that Netflix don’t...

It was obvious from the double-bill premiere that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was a pretty good show, but Episodes 3, 4, & 5 really make it clear.

It’s fair to say that every human on Earth knows that Peter Parker became Spider-Man after being bitten by a spider, so it’s a mercy...

Season 2 of Castlevania: Nocturne provides a surprisingly tender ending that in many ways avoids a lot of the more potentially pesky narrative decisions. Everyone...

We’re at a point now where anything that debuts on Netflix with Castlevania in the title is a guaranteed good time, which if you’d told...

James Gunn isn’t pulling any punches in the finale of Creature Commandos. Season 1, Episode 7, “A Very Funny Monster”, has everything you’d expect from...

Creature Commandos has been at its best and worst based on the strength of its flashback sequences, and Episode 6, “Priyatel Skelet”, is no different in that regard.

I’ve already asked for more Eric Frankenstein in Creature Commandos, and Episode 5, “The Iron Pot”, grants that request. And thank goodness!

I must confess to being extremely impressed by the Season 3 finale of Marvel’s What If…?. Given the relatively small canvas it had – it...

The first half of Season 3’s two-part finale, ends up being really great despite being by far the most serialized that the show has been thus far.

Episode 6 of Marvel’s What If…? Season 3, which teams Shang-Chi up with Kate Bishop in a Wild West setting, is my favorite of this run by quite a margin.

Right after Marvel’s What If…? Season 3 reached its lightest, silliest note, Episode 5, “What If… The Emergence Destroyed the Earth?”, flips things on their...

Episode 4, “What If… Howard the Duck Got Hitched?”, plays out like a dare to come up with the weirdest MCU premise possible and then contort it into even stranger shapes as it goes.

If I have a persistent criticism of What If…? it’s that it rarely feels “what if” enough. The limitless possibilities of a speculative anthology should make this kind of thing really easy.

Episode 2 of What If…? Season 3, “What If… Agatha Went to Hollywood?”, reinvigorates that godforsaken movie and some of its concepts by pairing Agatha Harkness – very much Marvel’s flavor of the month after Agatha All Along – with Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo.

What if… the MCU had a baby with Godzilla and the Power Rangers? I have no idea how that would work genetically speaking, but the offspring would probably look a lot like the Season 3 premiere of Marvel’s What If…?

Now this is more like it. I was worried about Creature Commandos, I must admit, especially after it got so bogged down in simplistic political...

I still like Creature Commandos, and I still think it has a lot of potential, but Season 1, Episode 3 made me wonder if the...

Amazon’s anthological series Secret Level is pretty unprecedented as far as such things go – a collection of animated video-game-inspired short films released in two...
