The six-part series Unfamiliar follows Meret and Simon, a married couple who used to be spies. Now, they run a restaurant, raise their teenage daughter, and secretly operate a safe house in Berlin. Naturally, trouble from their past returns, putting their lives and relationship in danger as they try to escape assassins, Russian agents, old flames, and former rivals. The strain of keeping their family safe and confronting long-held secrets begins to break down their marriage. What makes the show stand out is its realistic, flawed characters—they aren’t polished or simplified—all unfolding against a gripping and dramatic backdrop with a touch of dark humor. It’s precisely the kind of smart, modern spy thriller we’ve been waiting for.

Four months ago, a new animated series called The Knights of Guinevere launched online, offering a more sophisticated story than Dana Terrace’s previous work on Disney Channel. Kevin Lerdwichagul, CEO of Glitch Productions (the studio that helped create the pilot), shared how quickly the episode gained a following. He expressed amazement at the immediate connection with viewers, the fan theories, artwork, and overall community support that came from releasing the content first on YouTube. As Glitch Productions’ first 2D animated project, Knights of Guinevere presented many new challenges in both production and marketing, making the positive fan response especially rewarding for the team.

The Poker Night games from Telltale hold a special place for me because they were so laid-back and funny. Playing poker against well-known gaming and internet personalities was a truly enjoyable and relaxing experience. That’s why I’m thrilled to see Poker Night at the Inventory getting remastered for Switch, PlayStation, and PC. But I’m really hoping this is just the first step towards bringing back the even better sequel as well.

When David Marcus appeared in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan in 1982, fans quickly connected with him. That’s why they were so shocked when he died so unexpectedly in the next movie, ending what could have been a powerful father-son story with Captain Kirk. David was the result of a past relationship for Kirk, and his mother, Carol Marcus, kept his existence a secret for over twenty years. His arrival as Kirk’s son seemed to offer a fresh, emotional direction for the character, allowing Kirk to explore fatherhood. For over forty years, David’s early death has remained a surprising and heartbreaking moment in the Star Trek universe.

Nicolas Cage’s take on Spider-Man is unlike any other version we’ve seen, in any movie, comic, or show. While he still got his powers from a spider bite and might shoot organic webs, and features familiar characters like Molten Man, Black Cat, and Electro, this Spider-Man is a private detective, and he’s a much more serious character. What’s even more surprising is that he’s already broken three established rules of the Marvel Universe.

Though the film’s pace is deliberate, critics praise its powerful and accurate depiction of this difficult time in Polish history.
