‘Below’ Review: Netflix Series Makes Monster More Believable Than the Story Itself

In a post-Widow’s Bay world, is there enough room for another small town, bay-based TV show like Netflix’s Below? The two shows are quite different in terms of their premise and, most importantly, in their quality.

‘Neagley’ Review: A Worthy Spinoff from the ‘Reacher’ universe

Prime Video’s Neagley series is the first spinoff of Reacher. This show has the opportunity to explore a character who has always existed close to Reacher while remaining quite different from him.  Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) was initially introduced as a supporting character in the Alan Ritchson-led Reacher series, but she never really felt like one.

After many years of false starts, constantly changing plans, and not-so-positive results in the form of a Green Lantern movie 15 years ago, DC’s Green Space Cops finally return to our screens.

After only eight weeks, House of the Dragon season 3 has officially ended. Sunday night’s brutal episode capped off a season that, at times, felt like being hit by a freight train.

Alan Ritchson’s Jack Reacher continues to surprise viewers with his adventures as the world around him becomes more complicated with every season; the same is true for Reacher season 4.
