In Adult Swim’s My Adventures with Superman, that ‘S’ stands for ‘shonen’

Secret Invasion brings the MCU down to Earth

Samuel L. Jackson and Olivia Colman shine in Marvel’s new Disney Plus show, which feels more like a souped-up Agents of SHIELD TV event than a proper spy thriller.

Amazon’s I’m a Virgo knows what it means to be too big, Black, and brilliant for this world

I’m a Virgo is creator Boots Riley at his best — even once the brilliant series reveals what kind of familiar story it’s not so secretly telling the whole time.

Ted Lasso’s third season was unfocused and unwieldy, but it stuck the landing

The third — and presumably final — season of the Apple TV Plus series was stuck between a sitcom and prestige drama but still managed to end on a high note.

Silo is a small-town mystery set at the end of the world

The latest sci-fi series on Apple TV Plus is more than just another post-apocalyptic drama.

Succession’s final season doubles down on its core conceit — to a fault

While Succession’s fourth and final season makes good on the series’ name, it does so while feeling comfortably stuck in a familiar holding pattern of treachery and ‘gotcha’ backstabbing.

Yellowjackets season 2 is more of an appetizer than a feast

The gruesome mystery returns, but it’s lacking some of the punch that made the first season so potent.

Amazon’s Swarm is so close to being brilliant

Amazon’s new psychological thriller series from Donald Glover and Janine Nabers is a dark sendup of stan culture, but it’s too caught up in its own obsession with Beyoncé.

The Mandalorian’s season 3 premiere was a return to simpler, safer Star Wars storytelling

The Mandalorian’s Chapter 17: The Apostate is a big, breezy, and action-packed reminder that Star Wars has always been a magical space adventure for new fans first and everyone else second.

You are not prepared for the final season of Star Trek: Picard

The last season of Picard is truly wild, and while it’s filled with action, it never seems to lose that sense of wonder that makes Star Trek Star Trek.

Hello Tomorrow’s techno-optimism hides something much darker

The new Apple TV Plus series tells a story of deceit and scams, doused in the bright and sunny style of 1950s retrofuturism.

HBO’s The Last of Us is a compact adaptation that puts you in the passenger seat

Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann’s The Last of Us TV series is a faithful adaptation of the beloved video game, but it doesn’t feel distinct as an apocalyptic survival series.

The Witcher: Blood Origin isn’t witcher-y enough to stand out

Without Geralt (or another memorable lead), the series doesn’t do enough to feel different from all the other sprawling fantasy adventures.

Willow is back, and he brought an incredibly fun show with him

Thirty years after the movie, Willow is back — and he’s got great hair, a great ensemble cast, and a super-fun adventure for you to watch.
