Sometimes, seemingly strange storylines in sci-fi shows eventually come together in a satisfying way, revealing a larger purpose (we’re hoping Severance will be a great example of this). When these shows are well-made, the oddness feels deliberate and ultimately leads to a conclusion that makes everything feel meaningful and justified.
With so many shows getting spin-offs or being brought back, it seems like nothing truly ends on television. However, these continuations rarely recapture the magic of the original series. Many promising shows didn’t get enough time to find their audience – even after a couple of seasons, they were still cut short.
The new animated film earned $158.8 million in its first five days, making it the second-highest-grossing Thanksgiving opening weekend ever, only behind the 2024 film Moana 2. Experts predicted it would remain at No. 1 during its second weekend, thanks to its wide audience appeal (reflected in its A CinemaScore) and strong initial performance.
According to a Bloomberg report, David Zaslav expressed confidence in James Gunn’s vision for the DC Universe, saying it should be accessible to everyone, regardless of where they watch.

Recently, Rolling Stone published its list of the best movies of the year, and Sinners didn’t make the cut—though it did receive an honorable mention. Despite this, it’s not because the magazine ignores horror; their list actually included several scary movies, like the well-received Weapons.
I absolutely adore The Wizard of Oz. It started as a series of wonderful children’s books by L. Frank Baum, but the movie? It really became the gold standard for movie magic, as far as I’m concerned. The moment Dorothy’s house lifts off from Kansas and lands in Oz, you’re swept away to this unbelievably colorful and imaginative world – it’s exactly what going to the movies should feel like! It’s inspired so many people over the years, and I was fascinated to learn that the brilliant David Lynch always considered it his favorite film. It just proves what a timeless masterpiece it truly is.

Yoon Se-ri and Ri Jeong-hyeok are considered one of the most beloved couples in K-drama history, even apart from the story’s unique premise. Their romance helped make Crash Landing on You a global hit and a key part of the K-drama boom. Now, six years later, Hyun Bin is finally returning to TV.
Even though NCIS: Sydney and the original NCIS air at the same time, NCIS: Sydney isn’t as closely linked to the main show. That’s why CBS is concentrating on building a stronger connection between NCIS: Origins and the original series. NCIS: Origins takes place thirty years before the events at Navy Yard, but the character Leroy Jethro Gibbs provides a link between the two shows. CBS has already done a crossover event between NCIS and Origins for the 2025-2026 season, and plans to reveal more about Gibbs’ past in future episodes.
Just because a TV show gets off to a slow start doesn’t automatically mean it’s bad—although sometimes it is! Often, people initially dislike a show simply because it’s different from what they’re used to. Other times, it takes a while to connect with the characters—they might seem confusing at first, or take time to grow on viewers.
