Going into “G.I. Jeff” this week, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Pictures had been circling the Internet of the characters in their G.I. Joe forms, but that didn’t mean much to me. I’ve never seen the G.I. Joe cartoon (or even the recent movies for that matter), and I hoped the episode wouldn’t hinge too much on...
Netflix Korea’s latest series, “Squid Game,” is taking the world by storm as a strange and violent show whose ruthless and depressing atmosphere exposes a dark reality of our society. And this was specifically the intention of the writer and director, Hwang Dong-hyuk, who stated how he "wanted to write a story that was an allegory or fable about...
It is entirely possible that “Basic Sandwich” will be the last ever episode of “Community,” and on some level, I think I’m okay with that.
“Basic Sandwich” isn’t really a great episode — for reasons we’ll get to in a second — but I don’t think I ever expected it to be. This season of “Community” has had to endure...
“Oshi no Ko” has recently surged to the top of anime rankings, claiming the number one spot over supreme, powerhouse anime series like “Fullmetal Alchemist “ and “Attack on Titan: The Final Season.” The show also premieres among gigantic anime series such as “Hell’s Paradise” and “Heavenly Delusion.” Written by the author of the zany and beloved “Love is...
“Attack on Titan” has a lengthy storyline with brilliant easter eggs and outstanding animation. Many fans have been following the show ever since its manga counterpart was released in 2009 by Hajime Isayama. As his first ever publication, Isayama’s post-apocalyptic world turned into a best-selling manga that eventually became a must-watch show.
The story centers around Eren Jaeger (Yuki Kaji),...
If you watch “Community,” you probably know about the largely negative reaction to season four, written without the show’s creator, Dan Harmon. After the negative reaction, Harmon is back for season five with a premiere of two strong episodes, which bodes well for the show. Given the 13-episode lineup, it seems strange to air two of them on the...
Now that the Olympics are over, “Community” is back, but I’m not sure this was the best episode to come back with.
It’s good that the show is trying to work in its new characters — Professors Duncan (John Oliver) and Hickey (Jonathan Banks) — in a way that feels organic. They’re part of the Save Greendale Committee, and it...
It’s strange to me that two things I consistently like — Halloween and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” — just don’t seem to mix well together. Usually, I look forward to Halloween-themed episodes, but after “Halloween II,” I really hope “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” stays off that bandwagon for a good, long while.
“Halloween II” largely looks to repeat the same formula of last season’s...
On July 27, 2023, a first glimpse into the long-anticipated return to the “Castlevania” series came on Netflix’s YouTube account as an official teaser trailer. Fans have awoken from their slumbers to the fervent excitement that the sneak-peak of “Castlevania: Nocturne” had garnered with the trailer’s dynamic action sequences and the new generation cast of colorful characters. The buzz...
The second season of “Sex Education” begins in a way that encapsulates the show: nearly uncomfortable, honest and hilarious. Our protagonist, Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), is back — and, apparently, is now a convert into the world of sex-crazed teenagers that populate the show. Season two picks up soon after the heartbreaking finale episode, in which Maeve Wiley (Emma...
