Supergirl Season 2, Episode 22 If Supergirl Season 2’s penultimate episode was a rallying call to resistance, then the season finale was the cost of that resistance. Because, sometimes, doing what’s right can break your heart, but it’s the choice you can live with. When Supergirl is asked to choose between saving her world and keeping a person she loves in her life, she chooses to save Earth. And did anyone ever have any doubt that this is the choice our heroine would make?...

Superman & Lois episode 1 does it all! Callbacks to the comics that go all the way back to 1938! A visual reference to the character’s very first onscreen appearance! Random and obscure nods to comics from the ’90s! Oh, and a whole bunch of love for the granddaddy of all superhero movies, 1978’s Superman: The Movie. Basically, if you’re a Superman fan, the first episode of Superman & Lois is like a love letter to nearly every era of the comics....

Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 12 Though the overarching narrative of Superman & Lois season 2 has involved everything from alternate universe doppelgangers and portals to other worlds to cults and corrupt military leaders, the most affecting storylines this season have consistently been the show’s most human stories. From Sarah’s discovery of her father’s affair and the subsequent breakup of the Cushings’ marriage to the Kent family’s decision to finally tell Lana the truth about Clark’s secret superhero identity, this season has been an emotional rollercoaster for all its major characters....

Ted Lasso is a fish-out-of-water story in which a fish decides he can do just fine on land too, thank you very much. Sudeikis stars as the titular American college football coach who takes on the challenge of managing a mid-tier English Premier League soccer team. The concept is based on a series of commercials that Sudeikis produced for NBC Sports to promote its EPL coverage. In the shorts, Ted Lasso is an overmatched football coach trying out his hand at a different kind of football where nobody uses their hands....

When Matt Reeves’ The Batman was first publicly announced—and really right up until the trailers dropped—a common refrain could be heard from longtime fans and casual moviegoers alike: “Do we really need another Batman movie? Is there anything left to say about this character after Christopher Nolan?” The question is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it preemptively puts the onus on Reeves, Robert Pattinson, and all the rest to justify their film by being emphatically different from the generally liked The Dark Knight Trilogy....

While Gothic horror has become rarer in recent times, as you can see from the below list, it yet beats like the telltale heart in the wall. Given the right direction, it can even thrive and escape from its cloistered hiding places. Hence we here have composed a list of not all the best Gothic horror movies, but enough to get you started in exploring the most alluring of shadows....

Overlapping with both Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine‘s seven seasons had some very high points, It also had some very low ones that strayed a bit too far from the core of Star Trek for some fans, yet gave the show a unique texture that some savor. If you only ever watch 25 stories from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, these are they, at least in my opinion – the only rule being that multi-part episodes count as one story (but great big multi-season Dominion flavored arcs don’t!...

The highly anticipated penultimate episode of The Book of Boba Fett has now arrived on Disney+, and it’s been a lot for Star Wars fans to process! Last week, the series took a turn when it largely abandoned its central storyline featuring Fennec Shand and the newly self-appointed ruler of Jabba the Hutt’s former territory on Tatooine, Boba Fett. Instead, we got to follow Mando as he built himself a souped-up Naboo starfighter and had some armor forged for the wee baby Grogu, who he was missing terribly after the pair parted ways in The Mandalorian’s action-packed Season 2 finale....

The Boys is notorious for its increasingly outrageous and darkly comic moments, starting with the gruesome death of Hughie’s girlfriend Robin in the first episode, and just getting more extreme from there. Season 3 was no exception, giving us A-Train’s horribly tone-deaf attempts to cash in on his ethnicity, The Deep’s burgeoning new relationship with an octopus, and superhero-themed dildos. We even saw a recreation of what it might have looked like if Ant-Man really had just crawled up Thanos’ rear end and exploded him from the inside....

The Boys Season 3 Episode 8: The Instant White-Hot Wild The Boys’ third run finale largely continues the two big themes of the season, setting up Season 4 to be another set of stories focusing on terrible father figures, and political satire. But it also provides closure to several running story threads, giving ‘The Instant White-Hot Wild’ a good sense of closure on this chapter, and it injects some much-needed joy into the show’s bleak universe....

The Boys season 3 saw an increasingly unstable Homelander remove the corporate shackles of Vought and the encumbrance of disloyal members of his superhero team. This fact alone is enough to predict where the next season might be headed because if there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that Homelander will snap and nearly destroy the Earth at some point during the series. What else can we predict about where the series will go from here?...

After eight seasons of the monstrous Dexter Morgan murdering other monsters, the show’s season 8 finale let him off the hook in unsatisfying fashion. The former Miami-Dade P.D. blood splatter analyst left everything behind for a fresh start in Oregon as a lumberjack, making a case for “lumberjacking” to overtake “jumping the shark” as the preferred term for televised disappointment. With the plot set to pick up again in limited series Dexter: New Blood, star Michael C....

“Knight Rider– a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.” There may have never been a TV series as purely ‘80s as Knight Rider. David Hasselhoff, in a leather jacket and a mullet, his shirt unbuttoned just enough to show a little bit of chest hair, fighting crime in a talking sports car. If you asked an AI arts program to draw “the most ‘80s TV series ever”, it would draw Knight Rider....

Shankar drew attention, for example, to the in-depth interview Monica Stuart did with the ship’s mechanic back in season 3. Amos confirmed that he started as a union apprentice without a sponsor after escaping the slums of Baltimore by winning a lottery drawing, and Monica was suspicious of the amazing good fortune for a kid who grew up on Basic. Could it be more than a matter of luck? Aside from a birth certificate and his supposed lottery win at age 15, Amos has no official government records tying him to a specific past....

The Flash Season 3 Episode 23 I think I can safely say that I am satisfied with The Flash season 3 finale, “Finish Line.” What I didn’t expect was just how seriously they were going to take that “Finish Line” title, and for the second year in a row, they managed to throw fans a serious curve. More than one, as a matter of fact. I’ve written so many variations of this over the last handful of reviews that I hesitate to go back into it one more time, but just in case you’re new here: I have been completely on board with the second half of this season (and the first half wasn’t too shabby, either)....

The Flash Season 5 Episode 3 Well, they did it. The rare Flash episode hat trick. We never had three exceptional episodes in a row in season four, and right now The Flash season 5 is three-for-three. Misleading title aside (for real, is this the TV episode title of clickbait?), “The Death of Vibe” is not only a solid hour of The Flash, it’s the kind of unhurried (be quiet!) storytelling that the show could do with a lot more of....

The Flight Attendant is a comedic thriller developed by Steve Yockey (Supernatural) and executive produced by Greg Berlanti (The Arrowverse…and just about everything else). Fresh off her 12-season run on The Big Bang Theory (and more importantly: concurrent with her run on Harley Quinn), Kaley Cuoco stars Cassie Bowen, a flight attendant who one day wakes up in Bangkok with a dead body lying next to her. The Flight Attendant has been in the works since 2017 when Cuoco’s production company optioned the novel of the same name by Chris Bohjalian....

The seventh episode of Season 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale has shown another twist in the complicated relationship between June and Serena. These two women, united by circumstance in the oppressive state of Gilead, are inextricably tied to one another in ways unique to them both. Other major fixtures in their lives come and go while their mutual antagonism and strange understanding of one another remains one of the few constants in their lives....

In the final episode of 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House, a sadly departed Nell Crain (Victoria Pedretti) explains to her living siblings what makes the red room in Hill House so haunted. “The room is like the heart of the house. No…not a heart, a stomach.” For Netflix’s Hill House follow-up, The Haunting of Bly Manor, creator Mike Flanagan has a fresh explanation for what makes this latest titular haunted house a ghostly proving ground....

In Hell’s Kitchen in 1978, three members of the Irish mob are sent to prison by the FBI (including Common as Agent Gary Silvers), leaving their “war widows” to accept whatever scraps they get from the gang for the next three years while the men are locked up. Unsatisfied with this, Kathy (McCarthy), Ruby (Haddish), and Claire (Moss) take over a neglected corner of the business, right out from under the nose of an Irish mob boss and his formidable mother (Margo Martindale), who also happens to be Ruby’s mother-in-law....
