I’m so excited to hear that all three of the Chicago shows are coming back! Chicago Fire will be on for a 15th season, Chicago PD for a 14th, and Chicago Med for a 12th. What’s really cool is that NBC renewed them much earlier than usual – typically, we find out in April, around the time NBCUniversal shows off its upcoming programs to advertisers. Variety reported that this is a surprisingly early announcement for the One Chicago franchise.
A federal judge ruled on Tuesday, March 31st, that former President Trump’s attempt to cut funding for public media organizations like PBS and NPR was illegal.
As a critic, I’ve been consistently impressed with Taika Waititi’s work. He really made his mark on the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the incredibly fun Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder. But he’s not just a superhero director – his film Jojo Rabbit was brilliant and even earned him an Oscar for its screenplay! Now, he’s flexing his storytelling muscles in a new direction, having written the story for a new animated short based on the popular video game Brawl Stars, introducing the character Najia. It’s fascinating to see his creative range extend to different mediums.
Usually, we suggest the best shows on streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO Max. But this series is different – it’s perfect for people who enjoy unintentionally funny, low-quality entertainment. The 4-part Netflix thriller has received overwhelmingly negative reviews and currently has a 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this, it’s become strangely captivating – it’s so bizarre and badly made, it’s worth watching just for the experience.
Ah, Ripple. That mysterious blockchain entity, still as enigmatic as the “blockchain” itself, now expanding its tentacles into global payments. And what better way to “gain traction” than by teaming up with Convera, that titan of currency exchanges who suddenly decided digital assets aren’t as dreadful as they once seemed. It seems the old world of finance might just be ready to accept a little digital dabble.
The first two seasons of Paradise have created a rich and complex world that constantly throws obstacles in the path of Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown). The first season focused on establishing the show’s setting and Collins’ quest to find his wife, Teri (Enuka Okuma), while the second season dramatically changed things by adding a new, surprising twist to the story.
As a big fan of Guy Ritchie, I’ve always loved how his films manage to blend really gritty action with genuinely funny, over-the-top humor – it’s become his signature style, almost a genre on its own. His 2019 film, The Gentlemen, was already pretty wild, but the new TV show of the same name? Honestly, it’s a show I didn’t even know I wanted, but in a world of super-serious crime dramas, it’s exactly what we needed.
Javier Bardem leads the cast as Max Cady, alongside Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson who play married lawyers, Anna and Tom Bowden. The series benefits from the expertise of Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, both of whom served as executive producers. This is the first time the two legendary filmmakers have collaborated on a TV project, building on Scorsese’s 1991 film direction and Spielberg’s previous production of the same story. Their direct involvement ensures a strong vision for this new take on Cape Fear.
The New Hampshire Business Finance Authority is set to issue what appears to be the first rated bitcoin-backed bond of its kind, marking a step toward integrating crypto into traditional public finance. A step, perhaps, toward the inevitable collapse of all things, but hey, progress!
The first season of the show delivered a major twist – the discovery of a wider, post-apocalyptic world – which dramatically changed the story. What began as a realistic political drama and murder mystery evolved into a thrilling survival story full of secrets. The season finale revealed that people exist outside the Colorado bunker, hinting at a future conflict between them and those inside.
