As a total film and TV buff, I’ve noticed something lately: so many genuinely great shows just fly under the radar. It’s frustrating! They might not have been huge hits when they originally aired, or maybe they didn’t grab everyone’s attention right away, but that doesn’t make them any less brilliant. I’m going to highlight a few recent shows that I think deserve way more recognition – they’re truly excellent, even if they didn’t get the massive viewership they deserved.

Netflix is set to release the highly anticipated series, Man on Fire, on April 30th. This 7-episode adaptation stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Then, on May 1st, a bunch of new movies will be added to Netflix, so keep reading to see what’s coming!

Hey, so Crimson Desert just got a really nice little update that I’m loving! Now, when you’re building trust with merchants, the game actually shows you what rewards you’ll get when you max it out. Seriously, this is huge! Before, I was wasting gifts on merchants, hoping for something cool, only to be disappointed. Now I can save all my gifts for the merchants who actually have stuff I want. I saw a post on the Crimson Desert subreddit calling it an “11/10” change, and honestly, I totally agree!

While most Far Cry games are well-received and the series is hugely popular, one title consistently gets overlooked. Far Cry: New Dawn is actually one of the better games in the series, but it’s become a forgotten classic from Ubisoft and deserves more recognition as an underrated gem. It offers a satisfying experience that’s comparable to the previous game, while also introducing some fresh and interesting gameplay features. It’s a shame it doesn’t get the praise it deserves.

For a long time, Wolverine has tried to stay on the right path, but he constantly faces threats like mind control, duplicates, and people switching bodies. There have been moments where he lost control and used his abilities for harm. Here are seven times Wolverine turned to the dark side, demonstrating just how dangerous he can be when he’s not fighting for good.

In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peter Parker is really struggling, still dealing with the fallout from Doctor Strange’s spell in No Way Home. This time, he’s not a high-tech hero or an Avenger, but a financially strapped young man living in a small apartment. While he’s down on his luck, many Spider-Man fans are enjoying seeing him face more relatable, everyday problems. With Peter back to focusing on street-level crime and his suit repaired, this movie has the potential to be the most authentic Spider-Man story we’ve seen yet.

Here are five great fighting games on the Nintendo 64 that are still worth jumping into.

Naturally, there are usually a few things you should keep in mind.

The 1980s featured many films with spooky or fantastical elements that appealed to a wide audience, like Beetlejuice, Little Shop of Horrors, and Ghostbusters. While these movies weren’t strictly marketed as horror, audiences generally anticipated some level of darkness. But these particular five films weren’t supposed to be frightening, which made their genuinely scary moments even more impactful.

Good news for fans of The Outpost! This fantasy-adventure series, which originally aired on The CW from 2018 to 2021, is becoming more accessible. The show follows the last member of a fallen race as she seeks revenge and learns to use supernatural abilities to protect the world. Starting May 1st, you can stream the first season – all 10 episodes – for free on Kanopy. Kanopy is a streaming service that you can access with a library card or university login.
