Whenever people think of It, they invariably think of a scary dancing clown, but if Welcome to Derry is proving anything, it’s that Pennywise is...

Troll was extremely popular for Netflix, which means the entire franchise is now cursed. You can tell from the ending of Troll 2, which seems...

Troll 2 is so-called because it’s the sequel to Roar Uthaug’s surprise kaiju comedy Troll, which became a mega-hit on Netflix when it was released...

I was going to start this recap by saying that things aren’t looking too good in It: Welcome to Derry, but now that I think about it, that’s only a matter of perspective.

Stranger Things is synonymous with Netflix. It has been the crown jewel in the streamer’s offerings since it debuted in 2016, and has surely turned...

Let me be the first to say that I’m no fan of Netflix releasing its big shows in volumes. Splitting up a season kills a...

Stranger Things Season 5 hasn’t quite felt like Stranger Things of old yet, something remedied by Episode 3, “The Turnbow Trap”.

You could make a case, if you were so inclined, that the Season 5 premiere of Stranger Things felt every second of its runtime because it was trying a bit too hard to settle us back in.

It takes an effort to remember this now since it was roughly a lifetime ago, but the abduction of Will Byers in Season 1 of Stranger Things remains the most important component of the narrative.

It: Welcome to Derry has held off on leveraging the iconic smirking visage of Bill Skarsgård’s bulbous-headed Pennywise the Clown.

Talamasca: The Secret Order has one of those endings. You know the kind I mean. Episode 6 – in hindsight, six episodes were nowhere near...

It’s hard to critique It: Welcome to Derry. It has been since the beginning, really. On the level of its broad storytelling, it leaves a lot to be desired, with two pretty ill-fitting concurrent storylines playing out simultaneously, and little overlap as yet.

When Talamasca: The Secret Order started, it was quite enjoyably serious.

What I liked about Talamasca: The Secret Order initially is that, despite being set in a world of vampires, witches, and other supernatural ephemera, it presented itself as a pretty straight-up espionage thriller.

I think it’s safe to say that It: Welcome to Derry has been much better than anyone expected it to be.

I’ve got to be honest, I kind of see Guy’s point in Talamasca: The Secret Order.

The Witcher has never been very good at endings, since it’s one of Netflix’s crown jewel IPs and makes a ton of money, so it’s...

The structure of The Witcher Season 4 is weird, isn't it? That's the only way I can think to describe it.

It's easy to think about the disappointingly inert previous episode as the calm before the storm in light of "Twilight of the Wolf", an all-guns-blazing, protracted action sequence that barely comes up for air.

Not to get all philosophical on anyone, but sometimes resting is the quickest way to get somewhere. But this is a difficult concept to get...
