Netflix’s Bet (2025) is a live-action adaptation of an anime, itself transplanted from a manga, and at this point, I should probably mention that I...

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...

It was always going to be difficult to adapt The Last of Us Part II, which is a game that relies on the fundamental expectations of video games as a medium to tell a pretty complex story about grief, revenge, and various other attendant matters, none of them particularly positive.

I've never been on board with the idea of hate-watching something. It seems like a waste of time to me.

I have no idea what Tin Soldier is, where it came from, how it was released, or who thought it’d be a good idea. Only...

I know what you’re thinking – a teen romance about two radically different but implausibly attractive people has to have a happy ending, right? The...

There’s a very simple and obvious formula for a movie like Bad Influence, which shouldn’t be confused with Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing, a...

Conceptually, The Walking Dead: Dead City was supposed to capitalize on the unresolved and oddly sexually charged relationship between Maggie and Negan.

The Last of Us, as a game and a TV show, is bleak to an extent that borders on parodical, like a social experiment designed to psychologically break huge swathes of people with their so-called entertainment.

Is the fight over, or is it just beginning? This, I suppose, is the key question raised by the ending of Weak Hero Class 2,...

The battle lines are drawn, folks. It'll be Eunjang versus the Union in the season finale of Weak Hero Class 2. But we're not quite there yet.

After taking its foot off the gas for an episode, Weak Hero Class 2 returns with a vengeance in Episode 6, with several key developments that constitute a point of no return for multiple characters.

Weak Hero Class 2 has had no shortage of fights, but it has had a shortage of meaningful character moments, and Episode 5 is designed to address that.

It was pretty obvious what Baek-jin had planned for Si-eun after Seong-je confronted him at the end of the previous episode.

It’s hard to stay out of trouble in high school, especially if you’re the protagonist of a popular K-Drama. Yeon Si-eun (Park Ji-hoon, excellent) was the reluctant brawler at the heart of Weak Hero Class 1.

Weak Hero isn’t short of villains in Class 2. Initially, it seemed like Hyo-man was going to be more of a threat than he ended up...
