It’s even more remarkable when you learn it wasn’t the original intention. Walton Goggins’ character, Boyd, was initially supposed to die in the first episode of Justified, but viewers responded so positively that the producers decided to keep him around. The show concluded in 2015, but Timothy Olyphant reprised his role as Raylan Givens for a new version of Elmore Leonard’s City Primeval.
Bold and sometimes shocking choices keep viewers hooked and make conflicts unmissable. When characters fight for power, betray each other, or resort to violence, it raises the tension and forces everyone else to react. Interestingly, characters who embrace morally ambiguous behavior often become the most captivating.
Okay, so I just started watching this German spy thriller called Unfamiliar, and it’s really grabbed me. It’s about a couple, Meret and Simon, who have a teenage daughter, Nina, but they’re hiding something big. Turns out, they used to be spies for Germany’s foreign intelligence agency – the BND – way back almost twenty years before the show even begins! It’s a cool setup, and I’m eager to see how their past comes back to haunt them.

I’m so excited – they’re doing another Evangelion and CASETiFY collaboration! This is actually the second one this decade, which is amazing.

I tend to be forgiving of “The Wrecking Crew” because it intentionally tries to recapture the fun, over-the-top action movies of the 80s. While it relies heavily on familiar action-comedy tropes, predictable twists, and over-the-top scenes, the movie is saved by the charismatic leads, Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, and its lighthearted, self-aware tone.
