Minority Mindset

Teenager Kellou (Maïmouna Miawama) simply states, “I see things, and they happen,” when explaining the difficulties in her life to her father, Garba (Eriq Ebouaney). For Kellou, this isn’t a gift, but more like a burden. Already an outcast because her mother died during her birth – a fact that marks her as “born of blood” – she prefers solitude, wandering the caves and rocky landscape of the remote Ennedi Plateau in northeastern Chad. She has a boyfriend who cares for her, but their relationship seems doomed due to the village’s disapproval. After being attacked and injured, Kellou is taken in by Aya (Achouackh Abakar Souleymane, known for her role in Lingui), another social outcast. Aya is a midwife who delivered Kellou years ago and is now blamed by the village for a string of recent deaths.

Season two received a much more varied reaction from viewers. While adapting the first part of the divisive game The Last of Us Part II, the show rushed the story, altered characters, and made some confusing changes from the source material. Here’s a ranking of all 16 episodes of HBO’s The Last of Us, from the least to the most enjoyable.

Since its second season came out in late 2024, Silo has consistently been popular on Apple TV+. It quickly reached the top of the streaming charts and stayed in the Top 10 even after the season finale in January 2025. While shows like new seasons of Slow Horses, Shrinking, The Morning Show, and the sci-fi hit Severance occasionally took the number one spot, Silo remained a strong performer. Surprisingly, Silo has now fallen off the Apple TV+ chart completely. The latest season of Hijack is currently at the top, and the Top 10 also includes shows with smaller audiences, such as the thriller Tehran and the French series Drops of God.

Discussing Film recently highlighted a new opening sequence, or “couch gag,” from The Simpsons. This gag, which aired with the show’s 800th episode – the finale of its thirty-seventh season – depicts Homer getting seriously injured when Marge accidentally hits him with her car, sending him flying through a door.

As a huge fan of the original Watchmen comic, I was really excited about the HBO series. Instead of just remaking Alan Moore’s story, the show’s creator, Damon Lindelof, actually continued it! It picks up the threads after the comic ends, showing us what happened to some of the characters we already knew, and also introducing a whole new set of faces. And honestly, even seven years later, it still feels like the best superhero show ever made – a real gold standard for the genre.
