Despite facing long odds and low expectations, Dexter: Resurrection turned out to be one of the strongest installments in the 20-year Dexter franchise. Michael C. Hall returned as the unforgettable Dexter Morgan, and he was joined by a fantastic cast including Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, Krysten Ritter, and Neil Patrick Harris. The show is easily one of the most captivating series available to binge-watch right now.
The show Atlanta, created by Donald Glover, draws strong inspiration from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. It uniquely blends realistic drama set within Atlanta’s vibrant hip-hop scene with elements of surrealism and satire. Over the last ten years, many shows have tried to replicate its style, but none have quite matched its originality.
Critics are loving the new series Pluribus, giving it a remarkable 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The show takes place in a world where an alien virus has connected almost everyone into a single consciousness – except for those who died or the 13 people who are immune. One of those immune individuals is Carol Sturka (played by Seehorn), a romance novelist on a mission to reverse the virus and save humanity.
The world of DC Comics is notoriously hard on sidekicks. Just look at the stories – Tim Drake/Robin becoming an orphan, the attack on Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, and even Superboy’s descent into darkness. While being a superhero is never easy, these characters chose the life, making their hardships even more striking, especially when you consider what’s happened to others.
I thought Pokémon Sword and Shield were okay, but I started to get worried about where the series was going. I didn’t even finish Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus, although I did enjoy the battles in Arceus. Despite my reservations, I tried Scarlet and Violet when they came out and was very disappointed. I decided to avoid the hype around Legends: Z-A, and began to think maybe I wasn’t a Pokémon fan anymore. However, playing Pokopia has renewed my enjoyment of the series.
I was reading an interview with Robin Tunney, and she addressed the possibility of bringing The Mentalist back to television. For those who might not remember, the show was a crime procedural that originally aired on CBS from 2008 to 2015, running for seven seasons. Sadly, even though it’s been over eleven years since the finale, there aren’t any current plans for a revival. It’s a bit disappointing, but at least we have the original episodes to revisit!
Creating a believable fantasy world is always difficult, but superhero stories have evolved in a unique way. They usually take place in a world very similar to our own, with only a handful of people possessing amazing abilities.
Several sources say Paramount Pictures asked both writer Max Landis and actor-writer Danny McBride to develop ideas for a new movie earlier this year. However, after considering Landis’s proposal, the studio has decided not to pursue his take on the project.
It’s incredibly rewarding when a TV episode really surprises and impresses you. Sometimes this happens with shows that are consistently excellent, and other times it’s because a show perfectly understands its viewers and delivers exactly what they want.
