House of the Dragon’s original leading man,Paddy Considine, has been reflecting on his final moments on the series having watched back his final scene playing what he described as “the greatest character I’ve ever played.” Viserys, seen by many as the heart of the show asa good man in an almost impossible situation, was seen in failing health through much of the series due to an infection garnered from a wound that wouldn’t heal - causing a form of what he described as “leprosy” while on the West of Westeros podcast - giving his character a tragic sense of inevitable doom....

Veena Sud’s new thrillerThe Stranger, about a rideshare driver named Clare (MaikaMonroe) being stalked by her deranged passenger Carl E (DaneDeHaan) over the course of one terrifying night, spans so much of Los Angeles that it’s almost a virtual tour of the city.

In this golden age of streamers, there’s a surplus of television shows to watch. But because there are so many options, sometimes truly stellar shows fly under the radar. Not all series get a chance to find and grow their audience, but that doesn’t mean thatthere aren’t shows that deserve it.Natasha Rothwellcreated and stars in the fantastic comedy series,How To Die Alone.But even with positive reviews and some awards under its belt, Hulu just announced thatit won’t be pursuing a second season....

In 1997, theStar WarsSpecial Editions were a neat thing. If you were just a kid like I was at the time, then it was a great opportunity to see the movies on the big screen with a nice visual sheen. It wasn’t until the online discourse heated up and fandom retaliated that the changes felt more like alterations to holy writ. It didn’t take long for backlash to Greedo shooting at Han first or the weird addition of “Jedi Rocks” (a musical number in Jabba’s palace) to spur fan outrage, and that outrage has never really gone away as fans continue to hope that the original versions will someday get an official release....

I can’t cook.I can make the occasional bacon and eggs and the only dish I’ve made that required me to follow a recipe was my grandma’s Adobo. But as someone who has watched multiple seasons of AustralianMasterchef,some dishes made me think, “Dang, I wish I was skilled at making them without burning my house down.” That all changed when Netflix released the first season ofreality competitionseries,Culinary Class War.

Based on Batman’s “Knightmare” inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it looked like the villain ofJustice League: Part Onewould be Darkseid or possibly even Superman.

Douglas, who helped build the first centralized database on serial killers by interviewing dozens of them in prison in the late ‘70s. In the hands of creatorJoe Penhalland executive producer/directorDavid Fincher, Douglas’s story became an enthralling descent into hell that also felt like the culmination of Fincher’s career-long interest in the subject....

I’m the first to admit that not every TV show is for every person, and Amazon’sMozart in the Jungleis one that may only appeal to a niche. But oh, what a lucky niche we are. The weird and wonderful series, now entering its third season, is a quick binge watch about a fictional New York orchestra. The series explores not only the lives the musicians – both establishment characters and newcomers – but also dueling maestros, and the very business of being in the fine arts; that is to say, the tenuous financing of it all, both for the musicians themselves and for the institution of the orchestra....
