Three years after dropping the pilot episode, “Hazbin Hotel" released the first four episodes of its first season on Jan. 19, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video. This new series features an assembly of chaos, antics and frighteningly good songs and motifs that will keep you glued to the screen. “Hazbin Hotel,” created by Vivienne Medrano, more commonly known as...
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 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...
For the spring season, what seems to be in the cards for anime fans are continuing fantasy series with powerhouses such as “KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! 3,” “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3” and “The Misfit of Demon King Academy II Part 2.” Amongst these highly anticipated series is arguably the progenitor...
By far, the best part of “VCR Maintenance and Educational Publishing” was the Annie (Alison Brie) and Abed (Danny Pudi) plotline. With Troy gone, Annie and Abed are in need of a roommate to pay the rest of the rent. Annie wants her brother, Anthony (Spencer Crittenden), to move in while Abed wants his girlfriend, Rachel (Brie Larsen) —...
With its premiere on January 10th, 2023, the highly anticipated second season of “Vinland Saga” follows its stellar prologue with a new setting, storyline and cast of characters on Netflix. Once again, the critically acclaimed anime series dons its serene soundtrack, beautiful scenery and mature themes of brutality, warfare and trauma. Season one ended with a grand climax that was...
The first part of the highly-anticipated final season of “The Crown” dropped on Nov. 16 on Netflix last week. Focused on the late Queen Elizabeth II and the events that shaped her reign, these four episodes follow a newly divorced Princess Diana — played convincingly by Elizabeth Debicki — as she navigates the paparazzi, her new life as an...
Canadian show “Orphan Black” had a fabulous freshman season, garnering award nominations and wins in both the U.S. and Canada. This included a Golden Globe nomination for lead actress Tatiana Maslany, which I was excited about because genre shows — in this case, science fiction — so rarely get nominated for what are considered the “prestigious” awards. But as any...
“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),...
