Movies TV Shows
Daredevil: Born Again: Season 2 (2026) 95% 7/10 EDIT “Daredevil: Born Again’s second season is packed with too many characters and subplots, some far better used than others. But the central story of Matt Murdock’s quest to take down Mayor Fisk remains compelling, backed by cool and exciting action scenes. ” – IGN Movies Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Shrinking: Season 3 (2026) 90% 8/10 EDIT “Though there is a bit of repetition in a couple story beats, the majority of the season offers more gently funny and genuinely emotional plotlines powered by its wonderful cast.” – IGN Movies Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Wonder Man: Season 1 (2026) 91% EDIT “A show about an aspiring actor who who has superpowers but isn't a superhero. It's a much smaller scale story for the MCU but for those who can accept it on those terms, it's a really strong Hollywood-set buddy dynamic powered by two great performances. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Alien: Earth: Season 1 (2025) 94% EDIT “Noah Hawley brings his trademark dramatic strengths and quirkiness to Alien's first TV series, which has some strong pay offs on what feels like tricky set ups. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Ironheart: Season 1 (2025) 76% 6/10 EDIT “The long delays had people wondering if the show was a disaster, but ultimately, Ironheart is... fine! But it's rarely more than that until near the end when it brings in a pretty notable element from the comics. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Jun 25, 2025 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 2, Episode 5 (2025) EDIT “A solid episode but a little bit of a step back from the last couple of weeks. By the end though, things got more exciting thanks to new revelations and new information that marked a shift forward.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) May 12, 2025 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 2, Episode 4 (2025) EDIT “This episode is so well played by Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced, who convey the sweetness and the bond between Ellie and Dina and invest you in their dynamic. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) May 5, 2025 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 2, Episode 3 (2025) EDIT “Even after the last week's huge loss, this is still a show and a group of characters I'm heavily invested in. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) May 5, 2025 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 2, Episode 2 (2025) EDIT “A key moment from the second game arrives in a notably intense and gripping episode.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) May 5, 2025 Full Review Andor: Season 1 (2022) 96% EDIT “This season is quite as strong as the first, due to its storytelling approach, and yet this is still fantastic television. Andor remains the best Disney+ Star Wars series, and a really special part of Star Wars in its entirety.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Apr 21, 2025 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 2, Episode 1 (2025) EDIT “This was a table setting premiere for the season to come, quickly reminding us of what a compelling world this is, while bringing in strong new cast additions like Isabela Merced and Catherine O’Hara. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Apr 14, 2025 Full Review The Studio: Season 1 (2025) 92% EDIT “Seth Rogen's new Apple TV+ series succeeds where other shows about Hollywood can flounder or feel too inside baseball by making sure to be really freaking funny first and foremost.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Daredevil: Born Again: Season 1 (2025) 87% EDIT “Overall, this is a very satisfying season for Daredevil fans. Is it as good as the Netflix series? Not yet, and some seams show from its creative overhaul, but there are a lot of reasons to feel optimistic about where it will go next. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1 (2025) 97% EDIT “The animation takes some getting used to but this is an endearing and entertaining remix of a familiar story that once more reinforces what a great character Spider-Man is. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Skeleton Crew: Season 1, Episode 6 (2024) EDIT “After a couple of rough scenes near the start, this turns into another great installment with an excellent spotlight for KB and for Kyriana Kratter. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Jan 1, 2025 Full Review Dexter: Original Sin: Season 1, Episode 1 (2024) 5/10 EDIT “Dexter: Original Sin gets off to a rough start, reminding us that there was little need for a prequel about Dexter Morgan. So much that’s in this premiere episode was already depicted or explained in the original series. ” – IGN Movies Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Skeleton Crew: Season 1, Episode 3 (2024) EDIT “There's a lot of interesting elements to Jude Law's character and I like that the kids on the show are having the same debates and discussions as the fans are about whether or not he's a Jedi.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Creature Commandos: Season 1 (2024) 95% 8/10 EDIT “A little more slight than James Gunn's excellent previous DC projects, but it still has everything you'd want from a Gunn project. It's funny, subversive, bawdy and graphic and though it takes awhile, ultimately it delivers the heart Gunn is known for.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Agatha All Along: Season 1, Episode 7 (2024) 8/10 EDIT “Patti LuPone’s Lillia takes center stage in a well done, emotional, timey-wimey episode that also includes a big reveal about another character.” – IGN Movies Oct 26, 2024 Full Review Agatha All Along: Season 1, Episode 5 (2024) EDIT “So much happened in this episode, even though it was the shortest episode so far. To have this all occur at the half way point of the series was a great choice. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Gremlins: Season 2 (2024) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Gremlins: The Wild Bunch continues Joe Dante's Looney Tunes vibes from the films, especially the 1990 sequel, without forgetting that Gremlins has an anarchist, dark edge to it at its core.” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Agatha All Along: Season 1 (2024) 84% 7/10 EDIT “As a spinoff, it doesn't reach the high bar of WandaVision but it's a pretty good show on its own terms, even as it takes a couple of episodes to find itself tonally. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Sep 19, 2024 Full Review The Penguin: Season 1 (2024) 95% B+ EDIT “While it can’t quite deliver the thrills of seeing Batman himself in action, it provides an entertaining and involving detour, diving further into the pivotal mobster side of Gotham City that fuels many of the Dark Knight’s adventures.” – TV Line Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Pachinko: Season 2 (2024) 97% 8/10 EDIT “Season 2 doesn’t quite equal the absolute home run that Season 1 was, getting a bit more soapy at time, but overall, the world of Pachinko continues to be engrossing and impactful.” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 1 (2024) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a likable and frequently funny series that expands upon Mutant Mayhem’s well done, modern version of the characters. ” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Aug 8, 2024 Full Review
