Netflix’s new Western, The Abandons, starring Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey, has quickly become a talking point – and not necessarily for the right reasons. The series focuses on a bitter rivalry between two strong families, each headed by formidable women, that escalates into violence. While it shares similarities with the classic feud of the Hatfields and McCoys, and aims to explore themes of class, gender, and family in the Old West, it hasn’t quite hit the mark with critics. Currently, it holds a low 24% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Pippa Bailey of New Statesman notes that after just three episodes, the show feels predictable and lacks the dark atmosphere and suspense that define the best Westerns.

The art book for HUNTR/X shows the weapons used were greatly influenced by the tools of Korean shamans, known as mudang. The design team combined historical items like bells, swords, and daggers with a touch of magic to match the film’s pop-star style. According to character designer Ami Thompson, she envisioned the weapons as being filled with musical energy – vibrant, shimmering, and flowing like light. She wanted them to look like visualized music, with notes and bars trailing from every movement, creating a seamless blend of performance and spiritual strength.

It’s impossible to definitively say which anime series are the best each year – everyone has different opinions! But that doesn’t stop us from highlighting some of the biggest successes. 2025 was especially strong for fans of action-packed “battle shonen” anime, delivering some fantastic animation and storylines.

According to Variety, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 unexpectedly topped the box office this weekend, earning $63 million in the US. This is a strong result, exceeding initial predictions of $35-40 million. Although it’s a bit lower than the $80 million opening weekend of the first Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, it’s still a big success for Blumhouse Productions. With a production budget of only $36 million, the film, based on the popular video game, is projected to be profitable.

It’s likely actors are often given too much praise for a show’s success, but the performers in the Star Trek universe definitely put in the effort. With so many different series and storylines crossing over, some actors frequently return to ensure the story stays consistent. Here’s a look at the seven Star Trek actors who have appeared in the most episodes.

A key success of the Krakoa era was its ability to revitalize classic characters by presenting them in fresh and unexpected ways. This approach worked particularly well, and a prime example is the critically acclaimed X-Men series, Hellions. The 18-issue run focused on a compelling team of heroes and villains, united by their service to Krakoa and grappling with their personal demons through conflict. It was a truly excellent series and exactly the kind of innovative boost the X-Men line needed.

As a huge Zelda fan, I always think about Ocarina of Time when people talk about the best games ever. But today I was remembering Majora’s Mask, which came out 16 years ago! It was the end of what I consider the peak of the series, and it really took some risks. They tried out new things with the graphics and really focused on the characters, which made the game feel extra special and polished. It’s not always the first Zelda game people think of, but I think it’s a super important one because it connects so much of what came before with where the series has gone since then.
