The fans of Euphoria are its most dedicated followers. Even during the show’s long break, the Euphoria subreddit remained active, with members wondering if Zendaya’s Rue, Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie, and Jacob Elordi’s Nate would return to finish their storylines. The head moderator, @your_mind_aches, jokingly changed the subreddit’s icon and header to images from Madame Web because many users had begun to doubt a third season would ever happen. Despite this uncertainty, the community not only maintained their hope but continued to grow, attracting new viewers with the show’s compelling stories, striking visuals, and honest depiction of addiction. After three years of waiting, will Sam Levinson’s conclusion to the series live up to everyone’s expectations?

Both stories feature a varied group of strangers who must cooperate to survive and figure out what’s happening around them. The settings suggest a grand, almost godlike plan, and the characters seem destined to play a role in it.

I remember when Russell Crowe really broke through for me – I loved him in L.A. Confidential and The Insider, and he even got his first Oscar nod for the latter! But it was Gladiator in 2000 that really made him a huge star, and deservedly so – he won the Best Actor Oscar for that role. He kept the momentum going with A Beautiful Mind, earning another Oscar nomination. Since then, he’s become something of a master of the historical epic – I’ve enjoyed films like Master and Commander, Robin Hood, and Noah. Actually, I just heard one of those is heading to a streaming service soon, which is exciting!

According to Flix Patrol, the TV show Will Trent has been on Hulu’s list of the top 10 most-watched shows in the US for over 300 days. It’s a rare achievement for an ABC program, with only Abbott Elementary (over 415 days) and High Potential (which reached 300 days just yesterday) having similar runs.

On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host did an impression of Donald Trump before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. As part of the skit, Kimmel jokingly said about Melania Trump, “SO beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.” Mrs. Trump responded to the joke with a post on X.

Honestly, the fallout from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner really bothered me. The next day, Fox News jumped on a joke Jimmy Kimmel made – about a fictional ‘widow’ – and pointed out it aired not long before the actual shooting. Seriously, they tried to make an issue of it being 48 hours later! It felt like a really bad-faith argument. I can’t help but think the President and First Lady probably didn’t even hear the joke, they were busy being amazed by the mentalist performing at the dinner! It just felt like a reach to create controversy.

With viewers hoping her new show, How’s That?, finds its audience and gives Cherish another long-running TV series, its somewhat slow start also presents a good chance to revisit her other work – some of which deserves more recognition. While many remember her memorable (and disastrous!) appearance on The Traitors, there’s a lot more to Cherish’s career! Her breakout show, I’m It!, is gaining renewed interest, and fans have plenty to say about Room and Bored and Seeing Red. But a recent series of hers, Mrs. Hatt – a charming cozy mystery – hasn’t gotten much attention yet, and it has the potential to become a beloved cult hit.

Many popular TV shows, like Parks and Recreation and the American version of The Office, had rough beginnings – even devoted fans suggest skipping their first seasons. BoJack Horseman on Netflix eventually became critically acclaimed, joining shows like The Wire and Breaking Bad, but its initial episodes were inconsistent and tonally confusing. So, the slow start of one of Prime Video’s more complex crime dramas doesn’t automatically mean it can’t improve and become a success.

Sometimes, changes in a story don’t feel well-thought-out – they seem like a quick, exciting fix rather than a natural development. These shifts might happen exactly when the main character needs an improbable rescue, or they might simply lack a solid explanation. While these moments can be visually impressive, they often prioritize spectacle over a well-structured and believable narrative.

Since the end of Battlestar Galactica in 2009, Katee Sackhoff has had many successful roles, including appearances in the shows Longmire and Star Wars. However, she officially revisited her strong leadership roles in science fiction with the Netflix series Another Life. Created by Aaron Martin, the show features Sackhoff as Commanding Officer Niko Breckenridge, leading a crew on a risky journey through space to connect with an alien civilization after a mysterious object lands on Earth.
