Minority Mindset

Despite being only 23 years old, Emilia Jones is already experienced at portraying characters facing difficult decisions. She’s been acting since she was eight, with roles in projects like Paolo Sorrentino’s *Youth*, *Doctor Who*, the Netflix series *Locke & Key*, and, most notably, as the lead in the Academy Award-winning film *CODA*, where she played a talented musician balancing her dreams of attending Berklee College of Music with her family obligations as their only hearing member. But none of those roles prepared her for having to pretend to bake what looked like a truly terrible casserole.

A recurring theme in the show is attractive men with a certain background revealing conflicting allegiances. It shouldn’t be a surprise that Anthony Grasso was the source of the task force leak – it fits the established pattern. Fabien Frankel’s character completes a troubling trio of handsome, conflicted men, alongside Mark Ruffalo’s Tom and Tom Pelphrey’s Robbie, and all the evidence indicated his involvement.

Major events are unfolding quickly. Perry, leader of the Dark Hearts, identifies Eryn as the mole and unexpectedly drowns her. Robbie learns about Cliff’s death from Ray’s wife and is then unknowingly used by Freddie Freyes to lead the Dark Hearts to a meeting. Meanwhile, a defeated Maeve turns Sam over to the police. The episode feels strangely rushed considering it’s not the second-to-last one. Everyone is turning on each other as the task force’s mole is revealed to be Grasso, who has Jayson working as his inside man within the Dark Hearts. Alliances are constantly changing, and with Grasso and Jayson secretly working together, disaster seems inevitable. The show reveals this partnership too quickly, and the impact is lost. As a result of these events, everyone now knows Robbie Pendergrast is the one who kidnapped Sam and stole the drugs, putting him in serious danger.

These shows understand that truly captivating stories come from pushing the boundaries of imagination.

If you’re searching for your next binge-worthy obsession, here are 15 of the best fantasy series available on Netflix.

While fans wonder if Karen will return to television, the women of Potomac are determined to show they’ve stayed strong without her. Gizelle is enjoying her newfound freedom as an empty-nester, relaxing at home in comfortable clothes and rediscovering her style. Wendy and her husband are finally seeing success with their “Happy Eddie” brand, expanding it to three states after several previous attempts. After seven years of marriage, Ashley Darby has finalized her divorce from Michael Darby. And after rewatching past seasons, Kiearna realized her relationship with her former partner was unhealthy and has moved into her own place.

The upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie is launching in April, and it sounds like it’s nearly finished! Keegan-Michael Key, who voices a character in the film, recently revealed he’s already completed his recording sessions, suggesting the movie is on track for release after the 2025 movie schedule is finalized.

Honestly, the finale left me a little cold. It felt like they went with the most obvious choice – Rick doing the big shootout – and it just didn’t land. Plus, some of the character motivations, especially with Gaitok, Rick, and even Chelsea, felt really off. The season wasn’t *bad* overall, we had some genuinely good storylines, but the ending kind of threw it all away and made a lot of what happened earlier feel pointless. It just didn’t make a lot of sense, and it was hard to really buy into it.

Details about the plot of *The Batman: Part II* are still under wraps, but as with every Batman movie, fans are especially curious about who the next villain will be. While director Matt Reeves was working on the story, rumors circulated about potential enemies for Robert Pattinson’s Batman, but nothing has been officially confirmed. Interestingly, before the first film came out, Reeves posted a picture on Twitter of costumes from the classic 1960s *Batman* series with Adam West – a subtle hint about the villains that many fans missed at the time. Reeves has continued to playfully tease future villains, giving fans clues to figure out who might appear in the sequel.

Currently, only Danny, the school mascot (played by Frankie A. Rodriguez), knows the truth: Glen Powell’s character is actually former football player Russ Holliday. But for the show to work, I believe Ricky (Perry Mattfeld) needs to find out Russ isn’t who he pretends to be – that is, ‘Chad Powers.’
