A little uneven in its pacing and sequencing, but it remains fascinating because it leaves audiences with a true sense of wonder about what could possibly be done at this point for a chance at a happy ending.

“Defend You” is cinematic, emotional, visually staggering, completely unpredictable, and packed with so much imagery that I could probably pause every few seconds and find something else worth talking about. This is the new episode to beat. It’s the best episode of the entire series. I genuinely want to watch it a hundred more times.

This is as flashy and hype as the series can possibly get, which is saying something for a show that has been chasing the ultimate cool factor for more than two decades.

Pure fluffy fun, packed with imagination, laughter, and enough bizarre nonsense to remind everyone why Ooo remains one of animation’s most enduring playgrounds.

In a landscape that’s still crowded with superhero content, Daredevil: Born Again stands out by remembering what makes these stories matter in the first place. It’s not about the superpowers or the spectacle or the team-ups and cameos. It’s about the people behind the masks, and the choices they make when the world around them starts to fall apart.

Season 2 doesn’t just match the first season, it confidently surpasses it. The Peacock series firmly solidifies its own unique rhythm, tone, and even a richer sense of purpose.

This isn’t something that’s so bad it’s good. It’s good because it’s so bad, and you have no choice but to hop on its particular wavelength of smart stupidity. But once you’re on, it’s a pretty hilarious ride.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a genuine treat for those who have become true fans of the MonsterVerse over the years.

Besides far too many of the jokes feeling a bit uninspired and clunky, Bupkis struggles to figure out a consistent tone or set any real parameters for the heightened reality it all takes place in.

While it may seem like a disposable bit of extra content in the increasingly crowded Marvel pool, it ends up being one of the more straightforwardly funny ones of the bunch.

The Duffer Brothers and their creative team are still able to deliver on the heart and excitement that made the show such a phenomenon to begin with.

At the heart of it all is an astoundingly great performance from Cena. It’s easily the best of his career so far.

There are ways of telling stories of extraterrestrial invaders and the apocalypse they bring without a need to focus on the screaming and destruction, and Invasion is certainly trying to tread the same line as Arrival or Signs, but Kinberg and company too often seem to forget to make things exciting and entertaining as well. Still, the whole picture may prove worth it by the series’ end, and there are certainly memorable moments to be found throughout for those patient enough to sit through it.

Mike Flanagan delivers yet another captivating tale of love, loss and supernatural terror, but Midnight Mass goes bigger and bolder than he ever has before. It’s possibly his best work yet, and has set an incredibly high bar for Halloween this year.

This YouTube series about a wannabe roadie named Mitch is as funny as it awesome and features tunes from Possessed, Protest the Hero, Cancer Bats, Mount Cyanide, KEN Mode, Carcass, Powertrip, Exciter, and more.

Like everyone else on the planet, I had some thoughts about WandaVision, Marvel Studios’ first true foray into television.

Netflix’s latest true crime series covers the bizarre and unnerving case of Elisa Lam, who disappeared from the infamous Cecil Hotel.

The Stand on CBS All Access is far from the worst of Stephen King adaptations, but it also isn’t some of the strongest.
