Prime Video’s “Realistic” Urban Fantasy Series Is Still a Must-Watch for Steampunk Fans

Created by René Echevarria and Travis Beacham, Carnival Row is a fantasy series that first aired on August 30, 2019. The eight-episode first season tells the story of mythical creatures struggling to survive as refugees in a human world. With a Victorian setting and themes that resonate with current events, the show tackles difficult issues like immigration, prejudice, and social inequality. Its exploration of these topics feels particularly relevant today, making it a worthwhile watch.

‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Rotten Tomatoes Score Revealed: “Resonant, Dramatic” & “Heartfelt”

As a huge fan of the Game of Thrones world, I was really excited about this new series! It’s a prequel focusing on Ser Duncan the Tall – everyone calls him ‘Dunk’ – and his young squire, who secretly has royal blood. It fully adapts George R.R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, and also includes the stories The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight – apparently, Martin always hoped those would be adapted for TV too. Early reactions are looking really good – IGN called it “the most purely enjoyable and heartfelt excursion to Westeros in some time,” so I’m definitely optimistic!

Code Violet Review – More Irritation Than Tension

Despite its flaws, the game is visually appealing. The lighting is well done, especially how it reflects off the main character and the environments within the mysterious facility. However, it’s disappointing that most of the indoor areas look very similar to each other, with only a few outdoor locations offering any real variety.

Code Vein’s Best Strengths, And Why They Still Hold Up

What sets Code Vein apart is that it didn’t simply apply an anime style to the established Soulslike formula, as seen in 2025’s AI Limit. Instead, it fundamentally reimagined core genre concepts through a strong narrative focus. The game prioritizes relationships with companions, offers a highly customizable character build system, and integrates story elements directly into gameplay, allowing players to connect with both the characters and the world through dialogue and cutscenes, not just through item descriptions. With a sequel, Code Vein II, on the horizon and other anime-inspired Soulslike games emerging, it’s worth revisiting what made the original Code Vein so unique. While AI Limit was a personal favorite of mine in 2025 (ranking at number 10), it adhered more closely to traditional Soulslike conventions. Code Vein* remains a standout title in the genre, and it’s worth examining what made it special when it first released.

‘I’m Like WTF!’ I Didn’t See The Line Fans Shout At Adam Sandler Coming (And He Doesn’t Either)

Adam Sandler had a unique response when asked about phrases fans shout at him. While Dwayne Johnson often hears “you’re welcome” and Jeremy Allen White gets “yes, chef,” Sandler surprisingly revealed he frequently hears an insult his character, Happy Gilmore, receives in the movie. It’s not a compliment or famous line, but something fans actually yell at him a lot.
