Their latest documentary is a real standout – it’s gripping and might even make you question who you can trust. It explores the world of social media influencers, revealing that some aren’t as genuine as they appear. As Netflix’s The TikTok Killer shows, things online aren’t always what they seem, and what looks perfect can be surprisingly dangerous.
Mike Flanagan’s new take on The Exorcist—described as fresh and bold—boasts a strong cast including Scarlett Johansson, Jacobi Jupe (known for Hamnet), Diane Lane, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo, Rahul Kohli, Hamish Linklater, Carl Lumbly, Sasha Calle, Samantha Sloyan, Benjamin Pajak, Kate Siegel, Gil Bellows, John Gallagher Jr., Robert Longstreet, Matt Biedel, and Carla Gugino. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on March 12, 2027, distributed by Universal.
The thirteenth episode of season nine of 9-1-1, which aired on March 12th, featured Eddie and Buck embarking on a road trip to Los Angeles, set to the tune of ‘Carry on My Wayward Son.’ The song, a fan favorite, appeared twice in the episode. According to showrunner Minear, he hadn’t actually watched the CW series and didn’t initially realize how fitting the song would be for the story of the two brothers traveling together. However, he conceded, “Wasn’t it perfect?”
As a movie buff, I’ve been checking out War Machine, the new film from Patrick Hughes, who directed The Hitman’s Bodyguard. It’s got a great cast, including Dennis Quaid, Esai Morales, Stephan James, and Jai Courtney. And honestly, it’s really making waves! It jumped right to the top of Netflix, knocking Jurassic World Rebirth off its perch, which is a big deal. Critics seem to like it too – it’s sitting at a respectable 68% on Rotten Tomatoes. What I’m really enjoying is how it mixes intense war scenes with a cool, futuristic sci-fi vibe. It’s finding an audience where a lot of other streaming films haven’t, and that’s pretty impressive.
Rita Morgan (played by Julie Benz), Dexter’s wife, was killed by the Trinity Killer, the most infamous villain in the Showtime series. While the episode featuring her death, “The Getaway,” received critical acclaim, many fans were disappointed and felt her death sent a negative message. The decision to kill off Rita also fell into a problematic TV trope where female characters are killed off to motivate male characters – a practice known as “putting women in refrigerators.” Although Rita died in Season 4 of the original show, her impact continues to be felt in the sequels. Here’s the reason behind the decision to kill her off.
The episode of Parks and Recreation featuring Andy and April’s wedding, often remembered for the nuptials themselves, also stands out for its surprisingly funny and unsettling opening scene. Many fans consider it one of the series’ best episodes, alongside classics like “Flu Season,” “The Fight,” and “The Comeback Kid.” In fact, the cold open is arguably the funniest, most shocking, and most disturbing not just on Parks and Recreation, but in the history of sitcoms.
Now that both Bosch and Bosch: Legacy have finished their runs, it’s doubtful Titus Welliver will reprise his role as Harry Bosch in a leading capacity. However, he’s become so strongly associated with the character—thanks to his excellent performance—that many fans will likely keep watching the series just to see him return.
While not a huge hit everywhere, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is gaining some international attention. It currently ranks 10th on Paramount+’s global television chart, according to FlixPatrol.
A major source of conflict in the show Ted revolves around Blaire Bennett and her uncle, Matty Bennett. They consistently clash due to their vastly different political beliefs and perspectives on life. This tension came to a head near the end of Season 1, and a similar, impactful moment occurs for the family in Season 2.
Although the action was consistently good, it was ultimately eclipsed by later events in One Piece season 2. While season 3 might continue this pattern, that’s still a ways off. Right now, a standout 12-minute fight scene from One Piece season 2, episode 3 deserves significant praise – it’s easily one of the best close-combat scenes available on streaming television.
