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...

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....

You have to wonder what Marvel Studios is hoping for with Ironheart. I’m a professional film and TV critic, and someone had to tell me it was out.

I often wonder–though the answer is obvious–why live-action remakes of animated movies are made. From an artistic perspective, you could argue that the merit is...

It’s probably fitting that a show as mixed as Heavenly Ever After has an ending to suit, with Episodes 11 and 12 providing some answers...

There’s a moment in Guy Ritchie’s Fountain of Youth when treasure hunter Luke Purdue (John Krasinski, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) steals a Rembrandt painting from...

There’s probably a case to be made that nine episodes into a 12-episode season is too late for a show to get good. But this is also likely underselling Heavenly Ever After, which has always been “good”, so to speak, and has mostly just failed to progress beyond that.

Netflix’s often stellar sci-fi/fantasy anthology series Love, Death + Robots returns for Season 4 with another clutch of episodes, each highlighting a different style of...

Anthologies are always a mixed bag by definition, but Tim Miller and David Fincher’s Love, Death + Robots has remained remarkably consistent throughout its first three seasons...

Maybe it’s just me, but Heavenly Ever After is starting to feel like a lot. It could be the episode runtimes, granted, which stretch to almost feature-length twice a week.

I do wonder if Heavenly Ever After might be too mawkish for its own good. I continue to enjoy the K-Drama, don’t get me wrong, but in Episodes 5 & 6, I began to drift a little.

There’s a popular Kierkegaard quote about how life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forwards, and this popped into my mind during Episodes 3 & 4 of Heavenly Ever After.

The concept of heaven is in itself a cliché. Think angels playing harps on clouds, tearful reunions with your loved ones who haven’t aged a day, family pets frolicking through fields – you get the idea.

If you squint a little bit, it’s kind of beautiful. Daredevil: Born Again is only vaguely what one would consider a comic book show, the...

A lot happens in Episode 8 of Daredevil: Born Again; people die, there's a prison break, a swanky ball, and the truth, finally, about what happened to Foggy Nelson is revealed.

As with any Netflix series, particularly one of its surprisingly good video game adaptations, the ending of Devil May Cry has two distinct purposes. Yes,...

At first blush, Capcom’s long-running action series Devil May Cry isn’t ideal fodder for a television adaptation. The exaggerated action is there, of course, complete...

After a banger double-bill, it’s easy to consider Episode 7 of Daredevil: Born Again a bit of a step down.

The last ten minutes of “Excessive Force”, in particular, felt like everything long-time fans of the Netflix shows want from these characters.
