As of January 25th, the crime thriller Blindspot is currently the fourth most popular show on iTunes in the United States. It’s just behind RuPaul’s Drag Race, Landman, and IT: Welcome to Derry, which are in the top three spots. The series stars Jaimie Alexander (known from Thor) and Sullivan Stapelton, and centers around a complex international conspiracy that unfolds when a mysterious woman, Jane Doe (Alexander), is found naked in Times Square.
Events from one season of a TV show often impact later seasons, so starting mid-way through can be confusing. However, some shows are more forgiving, and even within ongoing series, each season sometimes feels like a self-contained story you can easily jump into.
The new sci-fi film starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson didn’t have a blockbuster opening weekend, but it still managed to become the top movie in the US and Canada. See the complete Top 10 list below, and stick around for my thoughts on how it performed.
Both Pluribus and Better Call Saul are known for their gripping drama, making it likely that viewers who enjoy one will also appreciate the other. Better Call Saul is particularly praised for being rewatchable, with fans discovering new details and universal themes each time. Interestingly, Pluribus brings together several people who previously worked on Better Call Saul, including creator Vince Gilligan and actor Patrick Fabian, alongside Rhea Seehorn.
Fans often remember the last battles of each story arc as the most exciting, especially when new powers or forms are revealed. The twelfth Dragon Ball Z movie, Fusion Reborn, is widely considered a peak of the film series. However, the incredible fight between Gogeta and Janemba doesn’t get enough recognition for everything it achieves and why it perfectly captures the spirit of Dragon Ball.
As a huge fan, it was really exciting when the Netflix series first came out, but honestly, it started to drift away from the books and stories I loved. A lot of us fans, and even Henry Cavill himself, noticed and weren’t happy with the changes. It got to the point where Cavill decided to leave as Geralt, which was a real blow, and now Liam Hemsworth is taking over for season four. It’s a shame to see a show with so much promise struggling towards its final season this year. But I’m really relieved to hear that Henry is getting another chance to bring a different story to life – one where he can stay true to the source material. I’m really hoping that project will be amazing!
Despite some films like The Life of Chuck, The Long Walk, and The Monkey earning good reviews and drawing audiences to cinemas, the prequel to Stephen King’s It was a huge success. The series launched in late October and remained a chart-topper for several weeks. Even after finishing its initial run in mid-December, It: Welcome to Derry returned to the charts thanks to digital sales and rentals, according to FlixPatrol.
The newest episode of the series, Season 2’s “9 A.M.,” really delivers with a complex case that shows multiple perspectives. It also proves that even though a particular ER doctor is usually careful, they made the correct decision this time.
Rumors about a relationship between Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have circulated for almost three years, which matches the timeline Timothée referenced when he publicly thanked his “partner of three years” at an awards show. Fans have been trying to come up with a catchy combined name for the couple, but as Reddit discussions show, it’s proving surprisingly difficult to blend Kylie and Timothée into one word.
Honestly, I was really hoping Ballerina would do better in theaters. They pushed Keanu Reeves’ appearance as John Wick so hard in the marketing, but it didn’t seem to translate to ticket sales. Now, it’s looking doubtful we’ll get any more of those From the World of John Wick spin-offs, which is a real bummer. I thought Ana de Armas’ character was fantastic – a genuinely compelling antihero, and I was already imagining a whole series of action movies centered around her. It’s a shame it might not happen.
