This season gave us a full military occupation by a shady government entity, and a Russian-adjacent foreign threat, both hellbent on turning Freeland’s metas into their weapons. From the first episode, we’ve been in the shit, and every episode since has kept us in it. We’ve watched our heroes struggle, adapt, learn, grow, and evolve.

Just like we’re learning more about Pick’s past, we finally learn more about Jake’s background. Freddie visits Jake’s mansion under the guise of doing a profile on the house, but the minute he has Jake feeling comfortable, he starts asking questions about Brattle, but more interesting than that, he brings up Jake’s father. We learn

Katherine Reis (Claws, Rise) will star as Lily Stevens, “the youngest of the three Brides of Dracula, Lily is a striving singer in New York City whose relationship to a news reporter threatens to tear apart her marriage to her ‘sisters.’ In her former life, she braved the streets of Jack the Ripper’s London, until

While the execution on her muddled storyline could have been better (it seemed to go from a body dysmorphia plotline to lashing out in response to a hyper-perfectionist mother), the fact that her mother made her get corrective surgery for the scars against her will is the strongest argument in her favor. It’s not so

Altered Carbon is one of the few ”cyberpunk” adaptations on science fiction television that tackles issues of mortality and identity in a digital future. We’ve been fans of the show since season one, and we spoke to season 2 showrunner Alison Schapker on Sci Fi Fidelity. We’re therefore excited to announce another prize giveaway to

After years spent honing their veterinary practice and making appearances on local news, Hodges and Ferguson got the attention of a Nat Geo WILD network looking to mix up its nature storytelling.  “(A producer from Nat Geo WILD) was like, ‘do you guys Skype?’ I said, ‘Nah,  what am I going to Skype for?’ We

Another strength to this installment is that “Deku Vs. Gentle Criminal” implements a ticking clock element as the respective time gets frequently shown on screen. This creates inherent tension and makes events feel more boiled down and important, even if it’s not yet clear why. This structure is one of the most entertaining aspects of

“Oh yeah, uh, it was alright.” – Bismuth “Alright? It was what you came for, wasn’t it?” – Steven“Uh, well…” – Bismuth Then Bismuth looks longingly toward Pearl as she skates along, which causes Steven to exclaim, “wait. Pearl? Bismuth, you’re here for Pearl?”  Bismuth then covers his mouth to keep him quiet; she doesn’t

Tyson also sees multiple meanings in the title, Cosmos: Possible Worlds. “I even well up every now and then when I just re-recite the title because it is so filled with hope,” he admits. “The concept of possible worlds need not be interpreted only literally. In the thirteen episodes you will encounter exoplanets… but there

The outside world itself is also beautiful to look at. Westworld paints a picture of a future that is not all that far from the current world, just elevated slightly. Self-driving cars aren’t as far-fetched as they were during the days of Demolition Man. Throughout the world, instructions are yelled at various home assistant devices

Indeed, said slate is the result of a partnership between Netflix and The Roald Dahl Story Company, which will see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory eventually joined by titles such as Matilda, The BFG, The Twits, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, George’s Marvellous Medicine, Boy – Tales of Childhood, Going Solo, The Enormous Crocodile,

Perhaps it could be argued that Plum’s story along with the appearance of Christopher Plover and the reveal of the Dark King’s true identity as Rupert Chatwin acts as the common thread that ties the episode together. However, Seb’s story is more wrapped up in the dark side of mourning a lost love, making us

I’m so thrilled to announce: Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri will be back for more adventures… in Season Two. I could not be more proud of what the amazing cast and crew of The Witcher have accomplished, and can’t wait for the world to dig in and enjoy these stories with us. ❤️⚔️🐺 pic.twitter.com/evWoHvUl1e — Lauren

Thankfully, Hank and Gomie’s entrance at this point in the series at least makes a lot of narrative sense. With Gus and Lalo’s crews looking to disrupt each other’s cash flows, it checks out that their shenanigans would cause them to register on the DEA’s radar. Lalo enlists Jimmy McGill to represent Krazy-8 and instruct

Okay, so maybe TJ’s death wasn’t all that believable to begin with. It wouldn’t be surprising if half of the audience realized that the burnt body clutching Olive’s bracelet was actually Isaiah, and it’s not all that credible that the police would confirm the identity with such a small detail, even in the context of

Karen (Rebecca Front) is reduced to an eye-rolling despot deposed by her husband’s muted zealotry. Mia’s (Jessica St. Clair) fling with the acting navigator is basically unnecessary filler which doesn’t even bother her estranged husband Frank Kelly (Andy Buckley). There is some pleasure in hearing Captain Ryan Clark (Hugh Laurie) explain what joy is to
