Okay, so the new season kicked off with an insane episode, “There’s Something About Morty.” Basically, Morty finds out Rick’s still secretly talking to Evil Rick, and he’s being forced to go on adventures with him because Evil Rick threatens to erase Morty’s whole family from every possible reality with this crazy weapon called The Omega Device. Morty, feeling a mix of jealousy and worry, decides to tag along on their latest mission, which throws them up against this unbelievably powerful, Galactus-level god-like being – a total hive mind! It was a wild ride, honestly.

Tom Hanks first became known for World War II-themed projects with the 1998 Steven Spielberg film, Saving Private Ryan. Since then, he’s also produced several miniseries about the war, including Band of Brothers (2001), The Pacific (2010), and Masters of the Air (2024), and starred in the 2020 naval thriller Greyhound.

The Mechanic film series is a hit with streamers. Currently, the first movie from 2011 is the ninth most-watched film on Paramount+ in the U.S., according to FlixPatrol. The sequel, Mechanic: Resurrection (2016), is also popular, ranking as the ninth most-streamed movie on Amazon Prime Video.

A24 has become known for producing some of the most highly praised films of recent years. Their movies have earned major awards, including Best Picture wins for films like Everything Everywhere All at Once and Moonlight. Other critically acclaimed and award-nominated films include Past Lives, Marty Supreme, Sing Sing, Ex Machina, Uncut Gems, Lady Bird, and I Saw the TV Glow. Despite their success, some of A24’s best films haven’t received the attention they deserve.

I’ve been completely hooked by The Wonderfools, this new eight-episode Korean drama! It’s about a really charming group of underdogs who suddenly develop these strange, fun powers. Honestly, it feels like exactly what I needed after finishing The Boys – both shows are brilliant at making you care about flawed characters whose abilities come from a larger, somewhat dark secret (think of the Wunderkinder as the K-drama’s version of Compound V!). While The Wonderfools isn’t as graphically violent as The Boys, it’s still packed with plenty of exciting action.

In 2019, HBO and Damon Lindelof took on a challenging project: creating a sequel to Alan Moore’s highly acclaimed graphic novel, Watchmen, as a limited series. Watchmen is famous for brilliantly taking apart the superhero genre, and it’s one of the few comic books considered a literary masterpiece. Despite being an unofficial continuation of the story, the series was a success and widely praised as one of the best TV shows of the last ten years.

The popular and often controversial superhero series The Boys on Prime Video has ended after five seasons. While the show, featuring stars like Antony Starr, Karl Urban, and Jack Quaid, was a huge success and broke viewership records, the final episode received a lot of negative feedback. It currently has a disappointing 52% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the lowest-rated installment in the entire series.

I first discovered Legend of the Seeker when it aired in 2008, and I was immediately drawn in. It was inspired by Terry Goodkind’s The Sword of Truth books, using the same world and characters, but it actually told a pretty different story. Honestly, The Sword of Truth series is a bit divisive, so a lot of fans – myself included – actually think the show was better than the books! It didn’t become as huge as shows like Merlin at the time, but I really believe Legend of the Seeker deserves more recognition from fantasy lovers.

As expected, season 3 of Tracker finally reveals the truth about what happened to Ashton in Alaska and why he died. Now that this mystery is solved, the show introduces a new storyline with potentially major consequences. This new plot centers around Russell’s betrayal of Colter, happening just as the brothers were starting to repair their long-strained relationship.

The cast reunion was filmed on April 23rd (and Levi was included!), but the drama didn’t stop there. Since then, cast members have been actively posting online and appearing on Watch What Happens Live. Ciara gave an interview with Glamour and then announced she’ll be joining Dancing With the Stars and Love Island USA: Aftersun. Plus, there was a leak of private photos of West, and he became the center of controversy regarding rumors about a relationship with Jenn Fessler from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. It’s been a chaotic time, to say the least.
