Brand New Day is the fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland, following Jon Watts’s three previous films, often called the “Home Trilogy.” All three earlier Spider-Man movies were well-received by critics and are considered strong adaptations of the classic superhero. While each of Holland’s Spider-Man films is excellent, one is widely regarded as particularly exceptional.
Originally inspired by The Exorcist, the episode “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” actually presents an even more disturbing take on demonic possession. What starts as a familiar story quickly becomes much darker. By the end, the episode leaves a deeply unsettling impression, suggesting that Angel’s victory isn’t a true defeat of evil, and perhaps such a victory is unattainable.
Most anime fans remember hugely popular shows like Sword Art Online, Hunter x Hunter, and Attack on Titan that were everywhere in the 2010s and are still loved today. But with so many big hits, some excellent, but less well-known, series didn’t get the attention they deserved. These 2010s anime are truly exceptional and worth revisiting.
The show Agents of SHIELD centered on Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), who came back to life and assembled a diverse team of SHIELD agents to explore unusual events happening globally. The team included well-known characters like Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) and Alphonso Mackenzie (Henry Simmons). Notably, two beloved characters said goodbye to their close-knit team in Season 3, Episode 13, titled “Parting Shot.”
Although some big movies have already come out in 2026 and been well-received, the biggest releases are still ahead of us. Theaters are preparing for the summer, with a mix of scary movies and international blockbusters. With so much more to look forward to, many movie fans believe the best films of the year haven’t even arrived yet.
While fans of comics and movies debated a new symbol, chess enthusiasts noticed something different about the chessboard itself. It wasn’t just a game in progress; the arrangement of the pieces deliberately referenced a legendary match: game six of the 1997 showdown between Garry Kasparov and the Deep Blue computer.
This Apple TV series doesn’t get the attention it deserves, but it’s beautifully made, much like the drinks featured in it. The story centers on two people hoping to inherit a massive collection of valuable wines. Fleur Geffrier plays the daughter of the man who owned the collection, and Issei Tomine plays his protégé.
Since the success of 2016’s Deadpool, which showed that R-rated superhero content could appeal to a wide audience and earn critical praise, films like Deadpool 2, Logan, Joker, and Deadpool & Wolverine have continued to demonstrate this. On television, shows such as Legion, The Punisher, Harley Quinn, Titans, The Boys, Invincible, 2019’s Watchmen, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, Gen V, and The Penguin have all proven that a dark and intense superhero show isn’t a new idea by 2026.
Although Netflix is known for its English-language shows, it has also created many successful international series that have been praised by both critics and viewers. A prime example is Money Heist (originally titled La Casa de Papel), a Spanish crime drama created by Álex Pina. The show initially aired on Antena 3 before Netflix acquired it, ultimately releasing three full seasons divided into five parts.
This scary series follows a group of people stuck in a town overrun by flesh-eating monsters each night, and they constantly face new dangers. The season 3 finale ended with a shocking cliffhanger: a mysterious figure known as the Man in Yellow (Douglas E. Hughes) brutally killed Jim Matthews (Eion Bailey). Even though his daughter, Julie Matthews (Hannah Cheramy), traveled back in time, she couldn’t save her father’s life.
