Daredevil: Born Again Tackles Catholic Guilt, Foggy’s Fate

by

The first season of Daredevil: Born Again received a generally positive reaction when it launched, though some viewers weren’t fans. It was clear the show had undergone significant changes during production. The creative team shifted direction, turning it into a sequel to the previous Daredevil series on Netflix. Originally, the show was planned as a lighter, legal-focused drama with less violence and a completely different set of characters.

‘Beef’ Director Jack Schreier Breaks Down His Return to the Acclaimed Netflix Series

Even though the story changed for Season 2, many of the same people worked behind the scenes, including director and producer Jake Schreier. Schreier directed all eight episodes of the new season, and while the storyline was different, he aimed to subtly maintain the elements that made Season 1 so popular. Viewers might not even notice these connections, but they’re there.

Netflix’s New Legal Thriller Series With A Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score Is Quietly One Of Its Best

by

I absolutely loved this legal drama on Netflix! With just 18 episodes spread across three seasons, it’s the perfect length for a really immersive binge – I finished it over a week, including the weekend. Each episode is about 40 to 57 minutes long, and a whole season takes around 4 hours to watch, so you could easily see it all in three sessions. What really drew me in, though, was the setting – it’s set in beautiful, late 19th-century Turin, Italy. If you enjoyed other period dramas on Netflix like Death By Lightning, The Crown, or The Queen’s Gambit, you’ll definitely want to check this one out!

Upcoming Reacher Spinoff Has 1 Big Advantage Over Alan Ritchson’s Show

by

As a huge fan of action thrillers, I’ve noticed a pattern with Alan Ritchson’s Jack Reacher: he always wanders into some new trouble – a town with hidden crime, a crooked police department, or a shady operation. He’s this incredibly capable ex-military guy who just gets pulled into these situations and has to fight his way out. It’s a formula that really works, and honestly, I think a spin-off focusing on Roscoe Neagley could take things to the next level.

Star Wars Has Been Lying to Fans About the Force for 49 Years

by

Most Star Wars fans likely know about Force ghosts – spirits of Jedi who have passed on – and what they can do. Though these spirits have unique abilities and influence beyond what living Jedi possess, that doesn’t make them more powerful. It feels unfair that a character initially claimed they were in the first movie, especially since later films have shown that wasn’t true.

27 Years Later, This Troubled (and Misunderstood) Sopranos Character Is Still Unfairly Hated by Fans

by

It’s strange, but one of the most disliked characters on a show filled with criminals is Tony Soprano’s son, A.J. We see him as a boy and then watch him grow into a troubled young man over six seasons. By the end of the series, A.J. isn’t exactly likable – he’s often selfish, lazy, and not very bright, mirroring some of his father’s flaws. However, the amount of negativity directed at him still feels unfair.
