At the time, many Netflix viewers didn’t realize that Dark was becoming a huge success – one of the most popular European shows on the platform.

Disney announced Incredibles 3 at the D23 Expo in 2024, and it’s currently scheduled to come out in the summer of 2028.

A big reason people enjoy Reacher is the satisfying way the strong hero takes the law into his own hands. This idea of vigilante justice is also popular in action movies like John Wick and The Equalizer. Reacher brings that same thrilling concept to television, a format where it’s become less frequent.

I was so excited to finally watch Marcello Hernández: American Boy when it dropped this month! It’s his first ever filmed comedy special, which is huge, especially since he’s been getting so much attention on SNL.

Apparently, he spoke to Chris right before filming, and Rock gave him some really insightful warnings that actually made him change things up. It was fascinating to hear!
I’m really getting into Dragon Traveler, and I’ve figured out that each character is actually connected to two different groups, or factions – there are six total.

Okay, so the game takes place in this huge world called Spira, which is basically divided into three big areas. You play as Tidus, a star athlete, but things go south fast when this massive monster called Sin destroys his home. From there, you team up with a bunch of awesome characters to try and take down Sin and save Spira. One of them, Auron, is a real rock, always there to keep our spirits up when things get tough!
