Power Book III: Raising Kanan has never been shy about taking a beloved character off the board, but the death of Marvin Thomas hits differently. Season 5 has been steadily stripping the Thomas family down piece by piece, and the latest episode delivered one of the show’s most painful losses yet when Kanan killed his own uncle. Yes, Kanan really pulled the trigger on Marvin. As if that were not enough emotional damage for one episode, Jukebox also took matters into her own ha

In its penultimate hour, The Bear, starring Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, serves up the longest episode of the season — and quite possibly one of its most satisfying. Episode 7 in the acclaimed FX series’ fifth and final season, “Caramel” is the ultimate final dinner rush, with 52 minutes of pressure, precision, near disaster, and quiet grace. It is the kind of episode that reminds you why this series still has so much power when it stops shouting a

Well...who at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds decided it was time to make a horror movie? Because, "The Griffin Effect Incident" had us looking over our shoulders more than once. What starts off as a classic Starfleet mission quickly transforms into a psychological nightmare that proves sometimes the scariest thing in space isn't a Klingon or a Gorn—it's your own mind. Before the episode even gets rolling, longtime Trekkies get a fun little treat. The updated opening sequence i

This review contains spoilers. Destin Daniel Cretton has now given us three amazing superhero projects with Shang-Chi, Wonder Man, and now Spider-Man: Brand New Day. At this point give him the keys to the entire Spider-Verse! This is officially my favorite Tom Holland Spider-Man film, and that's saying a lot because I've genuinely loved every installment in the Home trilogy. Destin and Tom really crafted a love letter to Spider-Man fans with this story. That's just my humble

Episode 4 of All American is appropriately titled "No More Hiding," because by the time the credits roll, nearly every secret that has been simmering beneath the surface starts coming out. With only three days left until the showcase, the pressure is mounting, relationships are being tested, and the new vortex is somehow becoming even messier than the original. The episode opens with a flashback of Amina and KJ video chatting before the school dance. Amina talks about how she

Batman: Caped Crusader is back for Season 2, and this show continues to be one of the best takes on the Dark Knight in recent years. From the very first episode, we are thrown right back into this dark, noir-driven version of Gotham. The world still feels different from the other versions of Batman we have seen, but at the same time, it feels very familiar. That is one of the biggest strengths of this show. Hamish Linklater continues to shine as the voice of Batman and Bruce

Let's just get this out of the way because everybody is going to say it anyway: yes, Fightland has some Power DNA. Family drama? Check. Criminal underworld? Check. People making questionable life choices that somehow make perfect sense in the moment? Also check. But if you're walking into STARZ's newest series expecting Ghost and Tommy with British accents, you're about to get humbled. Fightland is its own beast. Set in the UK's boxing scene, the series follows Duke Kilroy as

Episode 3 of All American wastes absolutely no time turning up the drama. We open with KJ being questioned by the news about the shocking announcement Principal London is about to make. KJ doesn't hold back during the interview, but before we can find out what happened, the episode pulls the classic TV move and reveals it was actually a flash-forward. We jump back four days before the showcase, and things start on a much lighter note. Jordan and Layla are having breakfast whe

The Riverlands: Ser Criston's Last Stand Ser Criston Cole’s army stumbles upon dead Rivermen, only to realize too late that it is a trap. A gruesome surprise attack follows, and though Criston’s men defeat the initial force, they soon discover this was merely a distraction—they are entirely surrounded by Rhaenyra’s army. Refusing to surrender, Ser Criston prepares to fight to the end, but he is struck down by three arrows before he can draw his blade. In a poignant moment, Al

The walls of Ba Sing Se are supposed to keep the danger out, but in Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 Episode 4, titled "The Water Falls, the Stones Emerge," the show drops its busiest, most jam-packed hour yet. By aggressively smashing together legendary storylines from the animated source material, including major pieces of the beloved "Tales of Ba Sing Se" and the random introduction of a world-weary Fire Nation defector, the narrative attempts a massive balancing act. I

Kevin Hart is back with a new Netflix comedy, and this time he is joined by Teyana Taylor, who plays his girlfriend, until she dumps him. The movie starts with Kevin Hart's character, Joe, being added to a random group chat that includes some very explicit photos. Joe decides to respond to the group, and instead of just ignoring it, he actually tries to help them. He even sends them $200, which eventually leads to him being invited to Miami. Joe works at an advertising compan

One thing I will say right away is that you can feel the goodbyes in this episode from the very beginning. After eight seasons, The Chi has finally come to an end, and the series finale is packed with surprise returns, a wedding, emotional moments, unfinished storylines, and a lot of characters showing up one last time. The episode starts with Tiff and Keisha being placed side by side, which I thought was interesting. Keisha tells Emmett that she has uninvited Tiff from the w

For its fifth and final season,The Bear continues serving up a parade of prickly pear issues for the restaurant staff of the same name, wrapped in the confines of one fateful day. Created by Christopher Storer, the farewell episodes have been presented this go-round as a five-star tasting menu, piling on the spice just to see how much one can take. Starring Emmy-winners Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri as incredibly talented, yet decidedly insecure chefs, “Focaccia,” episod

When Ransom Canyon premiered, it felt like a show caught in the middle of an identity crisis. Some episodes wanted to be the next Yellowstone. Others leaned into heartfelt romance, while a few flirted with full-blown soap opera territory. There was plenty to like, but the series never seemed completely sure of which direction it wanted to ride. Thankfully, Ransom Canyon Season 2 has figured it out. Instead of trying to be everything for everyone, Netflix's romantic Western fi

After a long wait, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back, and the Enterprise crew is celebrating Star Trek’s 60th anniversary in the most appropriate way possible: by exploring the unknown, breaking a few rules of the universe, and somehow ending up face-to-face with dinosaurs. Season 4 begins with “Valles Marineris,” an ambitious premiere that combines everything fans love about this series—big science fiction ideas, strong character moments, humor, and a mission that remind

Spoilers ahead for X-Men ’97 Season 2, Episode 6. Charles is still dealing with the loss of Magneto, and honestly, you can tell that it is really weighing on him. He keeps replaying Magneto’s death over and over again in the Danger Room, blaming himself and saying that he wasn’t strong enough. Charles just wants to feel his friend’s presence one more time. But the Danger Room has other plans. The Danger Room changes things up on him, and Charles almost gets crushed by a fake

The wait is officially over, space nerds. The highly anticipated Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 is close to dropping on Paramount+, and it wastes absolutely no time answering that brutal cliffhanger. Co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers promised a return to classic, episodic sci-fi storytelling while still taking massive creative swings. For the most part, this new batch of episodes made available to press delivers exactly what fans love: bold adventur

After all the drama, delays, and waiting, we finally get to see Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, the first official release from Avatar Studios. And honestly, right out the gate, we are thrown back into this beautiful world. The animation is TOP TIER. This movie looks incredible, and I really wish we were getting the chance to see this on the big screen because it would have looked amazing in theaters. This movie takes place after the original series, with Aang now being 25 y

The Riverlands and King's Landing Ser Criston Cole’s army is destroying bridges and ambushing forces that have pledged themselves to Rhaenyra. Meanwhile, the Grand Maester delivers tea to Alicent, but Helaena refuses to take it, desperate to keep her remaining child. Later, Mysaria pays Alicent a visit and demands to see the tea she was given. Alicent lies, claiming the tea was for her, and drinks it to prove it. Rhaenyra and Daemon's Divide Rhaenyra continues her search for

The Season 3 finale turns Lestat's reckoning into a grand moment of love, failure, and enduring Failure is Inevitable and a Gift The Vampire Lestat Episode 7, "The Failures," highlights the very story Lestat spends the entire season trying to control through his music, haunted memories, and edited narration. He performs it all with the grandeur and spectacle that we've come to know, love, and admire. But as we peel back the many layers in the Season 3 finale, director Alan Ta
