I’ve been hearing so much buzz about this show, and it’s easy to see why! Season one was a huge hit – critics and regular viewers like me gave it a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s definitely one of the most popular comedies on Netflix right now, and I just saw it featured as a top pick in Ebaster’s list of shows to binge this week. It really deserves all the attention!
Daniel Trachtenberg has directed various projects, including an episode of the Prime Video series The Boys, but he wasn’t involved with Stranger Things. The popular Netflix sci-fi show has four highly-rated seasons under its belt, and the fifth season will begin streaming later this month.
TV shows are often judged by how long their episodes are, especially when compared to hits like Stranger Things and Game of Thrones. Unfortunately, the new show Wonder Man is facing criticism because its episodes are notably shorter, rather than longer, than what viewers now expect.
Lionel Worthing, a musical genius from a humble Kentucky farm, has the unique ability to see sound. David Smith, orphaned but raised by a guardian in Newport, comes from a more comfortable background. They meet in 1917 at a bar while both studying music in New England. Their shared passion for folk music sparks a connection that blossoms into a romantic and physical relationship. Separated by World War I, they reunite after the war when David, now a researcher at a Maine college, invites Lionel, who has returned to the farm, to join him on a months-long project collecting folk songs across rural New England. As the project nears its end, they face uncertainty about their future, having only shared glimpses of their hopes and dreams with each other. Though both are incredibly happy working together, Lionel occasionally dreams of a traditional family life, while David grapples with his own private struggles.
These characters aren’t just added for show; they’re key to the overall feel of the DC Universe. James Gunn envisions a world that blends classic superhero action with scary and unusual elements. Think giant monsters attacking cities alongside more personal stories about characters grappling with who they are, and even a super-powered dog getting all the attention.
A video from the set of the upcoming Punisher special presentation shows actor Jason M. Moore filming scenes with Jon Bernthal. This confirms Moore will return as Curtis Hoyle when the show premieres on Disney+ in 2026.
Look, the Western isn’t dead by any means. It’s actually doing really well on TV! I mean, Netflix’s American Primeval was a big hit recently. But if you ask me, nothing beats Deadwood – David Milch’s show is just a brilliant, Shakespearean, and yeah, pretty sweary, masterpiece. They thankfully brought it back for a movie in 2019, which was awesome. Honestly, though, there are so many other great Western shows that people have forgotten about, and I think they really deserve another look. As a fan, I’d love to see all of them get a revival somehow!
