Disney’s success with a major hit in 2016 proved the company still knows how to tell captivating stories. Many thought Disney had lost its touch after the golden age of films like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King – movies that were both popular and groundbreaking for animation. But recent successes like Frozen, Moana, and Encanto showed a return to form, and in 2016, Disney really delivered a film that was a true masterpiece.

They don’t have to work as hard to get us hyped – we’re already doing their work for them!

Let’s be real, sometimes you don’t want to start a huge, multi-season show. Sometimes you just need to relax on a Saturday when you’re tired and unmotivated.

That’s why we’ve put together 10 shows that are perfect for a single viewing. They’re all easily finished in eight hours or less.

Popular books like Robert McCammon’s Swan’s Song and Rebecca Yarros’ Fourth Wing are being made into movies or TV shows, but it will take some time before we can watch them.

At first, Neon Genesis Evangelion seems like a typical mecha anime, using many familiar ideas. But it quickly takes a much darker and more depressing turn, becoming a psychologically intense horror-drama that divides viewers. As the story progresses, the fun action sequences fade away, replaced by the director Hideaki Anno’s own struggles and exhaustion, which he poured into the story of the world’s end. This is why the anime’s ending is so controversial, even though Neon Genesis Evangelion is a highly regarded series.

While the ending of No Way Home was dramatic, it presented a challenge for future Spider-Man movies. Even though Peter Parker is now seemingly alone, Zendaya (as MJ) and Jacob Batalon (as Ned) are still confirmed to appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The most recent rumors about Sadie Sink joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be a clever way to address this situation and move the story forward.
