Squid Game was one of the year's biggest pop-culture surprises for one simple reason: It's genuinely freakin' amazing. From the first terrifying game of "Red Light, Green Light" to the twist ending, it was near impossible not to be completely glued to Squid Game's harrowing story from start to finish, even when it was extremely hard to watch. Sure,...
Movies and TV shows based on video games don’t exactly have the best track record in terms of quality, but Arcane is so incredibly good even outside of the context of its League of Legends roots you’d be forgiven for forgetting it was based on a video game at all. It’s impressive on just about every metric you could measure it by: Its animations an...
Loki may very well be the best MCU content to drop in 2021. It adds even more fascinating layers to an already compelling villain, pitting Loki against multiple incarnations of himself in the process. MCU newcomers like Owen Wilson's Mr. Mobius and Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie make excellent foils for the trickster god, and the show's quirky sense of...
Mike Flanagan has settled into a distinct groove in recent years, his work regularly using the propulsive nature of horror to power quieter themes of family, grief, and belief. Midnight Mass is the filmmaker’s clearest, best expression of that style yet, a tale of ancient horror creeping through a religious community not through violence (at least,...
Only Murders in the Building paired master comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short with a star over 40 years their junior, Selena Gomez, for a gripping and mirthful meta-mystery about three lonely true crime fans who bond over a dead body in their historic New York apartment complex. As the reclusive actor, washed-up theater director, and moody art...
HBO’s cranky, crunchy one-percenter dramedy about diabolically dysfunctional billionaires returned with a mighty roar this year as a high-on-his-own-fumes Kendall Roy attempted to, once again, topple his megalomaniac father, Logan, in a bid to oust pops as the acting CEO of Waystar Royco. With a brigade of boobs hovering around, wary of choosing si...
Whether you caught on to the magic of Ted Lasso with its original debut, or fell into the series while in quarantine like much of the rest of the world, there’s no denying the warmth of the show. Few stories can successfully shift viewers from belly laughs to uncontrollable tears on a dime, but Ted Lasso seems to do so with ease. The series doesn’t...
WandaVision kicked off the year 2021 and came out absolutely swinging. Its black-and-white season opener set the stage for a new kind of superhero series, and as we journeyed through multiple eras of TV genres, from Dick Van Dyke to I Love Lucy and beyond, it was clear that there was more than meets the eye with Wanda and Vision's perfect life. As ...
After two incredible seasons of What We Do in the Shadows mined the blood-sucking mockumentary format for all it’s worth, the challenge for a third season was always going to be finding new places to go. But with the vampires taking a new leadership role in the Vampiric Council, the show evolved from their regularly hilarious twists on vampire trop...
Fancy hotels in exotic locales can make for beautiful and serene escapism. That is at least until you start to see the same entitled tourists every single day, push comes to shove, and things start to get messy. It’s hard to compartmentalize HBO’s The White Lotus in a single genre. This series about disparate groups of divergent travelers staying a...
- WandaVision (READERS’ CHOICE) What is there to say about WandaVision that hasn’t already been said? In the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it remains a unicorn.
- Squid Game. Four hundred and fifty-six desperate people are lured into a contest of survival in which they play a series of children’s games for the chance to win $39 million in this Netflix K-drama that took the world by storm in 2022.
- Midnight Mass. Midnight Mass is obviously a very personal project to writer/creator Mike Flanagan, and that makes all the difference. This is not just another “let’s make a vampire movie.”
- Succession. There’s a reason why people who love Succession can’t stop banging on about it. It’s almost as if we are constantly surprised that a show about a disgustingly wealthy, genuinely awful family, bickering over the leadership of a massive media conglomerate, could possibly be as funny, tense and thrilling as this.
