Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets—what can be said that hasn’t already been spilled across decades of reviews, essays, and retrospectives? It’s not your typical gangster flick, and that’s putting it lightly. No glamorous mafioso sitting on a leather chair pontificating over loyalty and honor. No guns blazing in some operatic, slow-motion ballet. This is something messier,…
Joker: Folie à Deux isn’t your run-of-the-mill superhero flick. No capes, no cosmic battles, no easy morality. In fact, it’s hard to even call it a superhero movie at all. The same can be said of the first Joker—which this film builds upon, but not in a way fans might expect. Instead of delivering another…
When I first settled into watching The Night Manager, I didn’t quite know what to expect. Sure, it came highly recommended—Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston, the charm of spy thrillers, and the ever-reliable allure of John le Carré’s storytelling. But what caught me off guard wasn’t just the sleek suspense or the high-octane plot. There’s…
When I first stumbled across Blue Lights, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Another police drama? We’ve all seen more than our fair share, right? But within the first few minutes of the opening episode, I found myself caught in that rare moment where the world around you fades away, and suddenly you’re fully immersed…
Where does one begin with A Very English Scandal? It’s a miniseries that defies simple categorization, fusing drama, dark comedy, and the twisted intricacies of a political thriller all in three compact episodes. It’s the sort of show that seems quaint at first glance—a historical account set against the backdrop of 1970s British politics—but the…
True crime series are a dime a dozen these days. If you scroll through Netflix or Hulu, it’s a genre cluttered with dramatizations of heinous acts, sprinkled with voyeuristic curiosity and a macabre thrill. But Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer America is cut from a different cloth. It’s not just about recounting…
When you think “superhero,” what comes to mind? Bright colors, flashy fights, maybe a moral compass that spins true north? That’s not Jessica Jones. This show doesn’t come to save the day in a spandex suit with a blinding grin. Instead, it knocks back a couple of hard drinks, flicks the cigarette ash off its…
You ever watch something that just leaves you feeling hollow, like you’re staring into the darkness of a deep, gaping hole? That’s kind of what Making a Murderer does. It pulls you into this maze of legal systems, corrupt police work, and human suffering, and by the time you’re done, you’re left with more questions…
Let me tell you, Wild Wild Country is a ride. You think you’ve seen it all, then this documentary hits, and it’s one twist after another. Set in the Oregon wilderness, it’s about a guru, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho), his devoted right-hand woman, Ma Anand Sheela, and the thousands of followers who decided to drop…
Alright, let’s talk about Spotless. What do you get when you toss a meticulous crime scene cleaner, his erratic criminal brother, a ton of bleach, and a pile of messy life choices into the pot? Well, you get a TV series that’s darkly funny, unexpectedly poignant, and morally all over the place. It’s not a…
