While 2018’s The House with a Clock in Its Walls felt like Roth's take on a children's fable, Fright Crewe (which he created and executive produced with I Am Number Four author James Frey) takes more cues from the teenage supernatural genre -- at times operating like a fusion of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Power Rangers. Executive produced by Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco, the series may not be breaking new ground, but Fright Crewe's colorful and creepy take on the premise delivers a fun show for older kids.

]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2023 17:56:34 GMT https://www.cbr.com/daredevil-born-again-star-leaving-social-media/ It's been nearly 20 years since Frasier went off the air, but the sitcom's new Paramount+ revival picks up as if no time has passed. That's not to say that things haven't progressed for the characters, but the new Frasier feels exactly like a sitcom from 2004, aside from the slightly longer episode running times for a streaming service. In an era of more artistically ambitious, less joke-oriented TV comedies, Frasier feels decidedly out of place. The dedication to an old-school format also gives it a certain retro charm, though, and anyone who misses the days of multi-camera sitcoms taped in front of a live studio audience should find Frasier refreshing.

Some would say Thanos, although he may need the Infinity Gauntlet to back his claims up. Others would argue Thor, but he'd require Mjolnir or Stormbreaker, while Doctor Strange would need his trinkets and relics, too. Many think it's Carol Danvers, due to the Infinity Stone (Tesseract) power her Captain Marvel has within.

For those unfamiliar with the term, devouring an entire season or series in one sitting is what it means to binge-watch. Since most of these streaming sites release entire seasons or series at a time, binge-watching culture has become central to television.

In Ahsoka's premiere, one of the standout characters was Sabine Wren’s loth-cat, later revealed to be named Murley. While Murley only played a small role in the first two episodes, their presence still helped set the tone for the Ahsoka series as a whole.

However, it seems that it's also decided to pass on Pibby and Friends: Apocalypse, which would've allowed the block to find a similar success from nostalgia on a far more ambitious level. The story concept of Pibby and Friends: Apocalypse (or alternatively, Learning with Pibby) went viral in 2020. Despite the massive following it still has nearly three years later, the network has been receiving some negative criticism from viewers for not picking it up as a full series.

Inspired by the many short stories and poems from Edgar Allan Poe, the series transposes the original macabre author's works into a modern setting. Flanagan delves deeper into existing themes and crafts a harrowing critique against capitalistic exploitation and the absence of consequences for the actions of the wealthy. This all culminates in an ending where the Ushers get their dues. The Fall of the House of Usher follows the Ushers as one of the world's wealthiest families, who amassed their fortune by deceiving and exploiting consumers.

However, since Wednesday dominated Netflix as the number one show on the streaming service for a whole month, fans can make this happen again during the month of October ahead of the show's first year anniversary.

A large part of what made Star Trek: The Original Series work so well was its cast, led by William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk. While each iteration of the universe Gene Roddenberry created is unique, comparisons are inevitable. Patrick Stewart -- the actor who breathed life into the universe's second USS Enterprise captain Jean-Luc Picard -- was deliberately designed to not evoke comparisons to Kirk. Even the handsome, action-focused character meant to emulate that energy, Will Riker, never smiled as much as the wry Kirk did in The Original Series.

Every fan who forswears the entire universe for one new film or another, just can't tear themselves away from the saga. For better or worse, each installment does try to service those fans by including connective tissue to the past while telling its own story. The Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker watching over Sabine and Ahsoka in the Season 1 finale of that series isn't just fan service. It's an important capstone on the story the show wanted to tell.

These shows have some exceptional female role models, such as young Ciri in The Witcher and Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones. However, many female characters are poorly written in fantasy TV shows, or have miserable arcs that don't serve them.

Some, a bit too on the nose, when subtlety would work just fine. As good as it is, Rick and Morty is a prime example of going too heavy, as well as the likes of Solar Opposites.

Sure, fans enjoy the shoot-'em-up style that nods to '90s action flicks. But amid all that gun-fu, those older films with the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc. weren't excessive in terms of graphic violence and gore.

Yes, the man who killed his first wife, reestablished the infamously corrupt Gold Cloaks and choked his third wife is a household heartthrob. But fortunately, this polarizing figure of the Targaryen family tree never makes it a point that he believes he's the good guy.

How the franchise's performances and stories were shaped has been examined in-depth, but The Shuttlepod Show is preserving the history of franchise design legends. The "look" of the universe Gene Roddenberry created is a huge part of why people love it, and this Star Trek chat show tells the stories of the people who defined it. Star Trek: Discovery departed from the classic look of the franchise, an arguably questionable decision from the producers. However, in shows like Lower Decks or Star Trek: Picard Season 3, the familiar visual vocabulary of the universe returned.

Gen V is a spinoff of the widely successful series The Boys, based on the comic book of the same name. The general theme among the shows in this universe is satirizing the superhero genre, and Prime Video is doing a fantastic job of bringing that to life. Gen V follows young superheroes struggling to be the best at Godolkin University. This next generation of heroes all want one thing: to be part of Vought's The Seven.

Martin) is crouched behind a police car, attempting to negotiate with a man holding a woman and her baby hostage. What audiences learn from him immediately, through the voiceover and his negotiation tactics, is that people are irrational, which often leads them to make decisions that seem bizarre, even to them. It is this premise that drives the show, which is centered around Mercer, his students and research assistants, and the women in his life, namely his sister and his ex-wife.

In so doing, Loki Season 2 acts as an essential chapter in setting up the final stages of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Multiverse Saga, which will come to an end with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
