I’m really getting into NCIS: Origins Season 2, and things are already so intense for Mariel Molino’s character, Lala Dominguez! That Flaco Navarro came back, and he immediately put a huge demand on her – he wanted her to take out a rival gang leader as payback for her sparing Randy last season. It was a really tough spot for her, but I admired that Lala ultimately refused to go that far, even though it meant risking trouble with Flaco. The way the latest episode, “Who By Fire,” ended, it’s obvious their conflict is far from over, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Now that Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story is getting a lot of attention, we’ve rounded up 13 of the best movies inspired by the horrific crimes of Ed Gein, one of the most notorious serial killers in history.

Viewers have enjoyed many impressive acting showcases this year, but the second-to-last episode of Gen V Season 2 took a unique approach. Now streaming on Amazon Prime, the episode reveals a surprising truth about the character Cipher, played by Hamish Linklater. It turns out Cipher is actually Dr. Thomas Godolkin, who has been secretly controlling the life of a man named Doug Brightbill for years.

The biggest appeal of HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter TV series is that it won’t be rushed like the movies were. Fans can expect a more faithful adaptation of the books when it arrives in 2027. However, it will be a challenge to fully capture the depth and detail of the novels – including characters’ thoughts and the beautiful writing style – without making some adjustments for the screen.

Fans of The West Wing were thrilled to see Season 3 of The Diplomat arrive last week, and not just because it’s a compelling show. Bradley Whitford, a former co-star of Allison Janney, joined the cast as her husband, bringing their on-screen chemistry to Netflix. While their years working together made the pairing feel natural, Whitford was still surprised by something during their reunion.

A sequel to Constantine has been stuck in development for years, but recently there’s been encouraging news. Keanu Reeves shared in early October that a new script draft was completed and they were planning to send it to the studio for review.

Amber isn’t the only one struggling with loss. Her brother, Jack, is also grieving, though he seems to be handling it a bit better. Their father, Taylor, is facing his own sadness while trying to support his children, and there’s a risk that everyone’s grief could overwhelm them all.

As a huge Stephen King fan, I’m really excited about the new HBO prequel. It’s not just taking us back to Derry, it’s completely rethinking the town’s history. Instead of just revisiting the story of the Losers’ Club, this series goes back decades to show us how Derry first started to become…well, Derry. The previous adaptations – the miniseries and the recent movies – always hinted at this repeating cycle of evil, but this one seems like it’s going to dig into the origins of it all. It feels like more than just another retelling; it’s building on a horror legend that’s been captivating us for almost forty years.

The news comes from TrailerTrack, who say they’ve heard about potential release dates. There was talk that Marvel Studios might follow Christopher Nolan’s example and release a short preview of Avengers: Doomsday a year before the movie comes out – he did something similar with a brief trailer for The Odyssey earlier this year. That initial plan is still possible, and we might see two Marvel trailers released by the end of the year.

I just finished watching this really interesting coming-of-age story about a young woman named Emily, played brilliantly by Zola Grimmer. She’s haunted by a tragic accident – she accidentally hit a little girl with her car, and the movie explores how that’s shaped her feelings about guilt and taking responsibility. The way they reveal this is so unique – it happens during a super awkward and darkly funny game of Truth or Dare. Seriously, imagine dropping ‘I killed a kid once’ into that – it completely changes everything!
