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...

“Out of the frying pan, into the fire” comes to mind. To be fair, you could apply this idea to most of what has happened...

In my review of The Witcher Season 4, I moaned about the whole thing feeling a little weirdly siloed and disconnected, its core storylines happening in parallel...

Let’s just get the elephant in the room out of the way – Liam Hemsworth is fine. Sure, he’s visibly doing an impression of Henry...

Witchers are labourers, essentially. The labour is just hunting and killing monsters. They’re fantastical pest controllers, really, itinerant exterminators who will do the dirty jobs...

Season 4 of The Witcher has its back against the wall in the most considerable way possible. Nobody liked the previous season very much, and that was...

There’s a very compelling argument to be made that, at least under Disney, Star Wars: Visions is the most interesting and perhaps even important project...

Star Wars: Visions returns for Season 3 with another batch of experimental non-canon short films plucked from prominent animation studios all over the world. As ever,...

Talamasca: The Secret Order kind of relies on Guy Anatole being smart, which is a bit of a problem, since Episode 2 reveals him to be a total idiot.

The smartest decision that Talamasca: The Secret Order makes is presenting itself as a straight-up spy thriller.

I think it’s over? You can never quite tell with Invasion, but “The End of the Line” definitely feels like an ending. And thank goodness for that, since...

Invasion Season 3 has been all over the place, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise since the first two seasons weren't exactly coherent either.

In many ways, the ending of Peacemaker Season 2 is exactly the opposite of what audiences have come to expect from the finale of a...
