Time and again, the unthinkable happens: the protagonist of a story looks up to a popular, heroic icon with a history of battling evil, but after meeting them in person, it seems their moral code was only skin-deep. A common trait among many heroes-turned-villains is their buoyant personality and cheerful presence in the public eye....

Logan Roy had some of the best one-liners onSuccession, arguably of any drama of the last decade. The witty, satirical writing was top-notch on the HBO series, which aired for four seasons, concluding in 2023.Brian Cox, who plays Logan, earned three Primetime Emmy nominations for the role, bringing vigor and passion to the pompous, wealthy, terrifying head of a billion-dollar media conglomerate. Logan rarely said anything that didn’t have negative undertones, whether he was insulting someone or simply speaking about business in general....

What really hits the spot, though, is an exciting, gut-wrenching thriller miniseries, because you know the excitement and atmosphere are tightly packed and ready to impress. The tenthrillerminiseries that can be called masterpieces have one or all of these: a great premise, a tightly written script, unparalleled tension, and a human story that punches you in the gut at the very end....

Alas, poor Murdock! I knew him, Horatio. We come not to bury these heroes, but to praise them. With the announcement thatDaredevilwill not be returning for a fourth season, the future of Marvel’s gritty urban television experiment is pretty much null and void. Disney is rolling out their own streaming service next year, aptly named Disney+, and appears to be consolidating its properties for future use. What “future use” means is still up in the air – it could be the resurrection of these characters on Disney+ or Hulu (with new casts and stories, most likely), or simply deciding to save these heroes for eventual movie debuts....

This is an astonishing accomplishment, especially considering that South Korea’s Motion Picture Law didn’t legally allow independent filmmakers until 1984 due to censorship. However, with the rise of South Korean arthouse cinema in the 90s, an array of impressive and unique films emerged....

Looks like trouble....

Be aware there arespoilersfor the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina finale. Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) is always going to surprise you. The teen witch at the heart of Netflix’s newChilling Adventures of Sabrinaseries is a fearless do-gooder and champion of the oppressed who’ll do whatever it takes to do the right thing. Including sometimes, maybe doing the wrong thing?
