Movies and TV Series Reviews

On the night of April 22-23, the first three episodes of the second season of the series "Andor" premiered on Disney+. This is a prequel to the film "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", its action takes place between the third and fourth episodes of "Star Wars". We got acquainted with the new adventures of the rebel Cassian and are in a hurry to share our impressions.

Black Mirror has long held the title of a special series. The original concept was to create a kind of social statement about pressing societal issues born from technology — delivered as straightforwardly, harshly and hyperbolically as possible. Viewers loved the creators' boldness, which is why the second, third and all subsequent seasons appeared quite quickly. Unfortunately, the further it went, the harder it became for the writers. The originality of ideas and freshness of perspective suffered greatly, causing Black Mirror to gradually lose its edge. The seventh season burst into the media space with fanfare. Many foreign critics and viewers called it a triumphant return. We've also watched the new season and are ready to share our opinions on each of the six episodes.

The Wheel of Time — based on the book series by Robert Jordan — is one of Amazon's flagship fantasy projects. The story of the Dragon Reborn, destined to either save or destroy the world, first aired in 2021. Last week, Season 3 wrapped up, and in this article, we explore how the story and characters have evolved — and why the show has finally reached a new level.

There’s a lot of contradictory things one could say about the The Last of Us series, but one thing is undeniable — the project managed to capture attention and stay in the spotlight for a long time, both among gamers and general viewers. Based on the first part of the game of the same name, the show more or less accurately followed all the major plot twists of the original, ending on a powerful cliffhanger. It was almost obvious that the creators would continue in a similar format, this time using The Last of Us Part II as the foundation. On April 14, the long-awaited second season finally premiered — although only the first episode is out so far. The remaining seven episodes will be released weekly on Mondays. We immediately dropped everything to watch it and share our impressions, and we’ll keep updating this article as new chapters are released.

In recent days, Ryan Coogler’s horror film Sinners has been breaking records. It holds a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, 4.3 out of 5 on Letterboxd, a rare A on CinemaScore for a horror movie, and earned $45.6 million at the domestic box office over its opening weekend — dethroning A Minecraft Movie. Some are calling Sinners the most successful original film of the decade. But is the praise justified? Let’s find out.

"MobLand" is a series about the mafia, in the creation of which Guy Ritchie took an active part. He was the director of individual episodes, as well as the producer. The key roles were played by Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. We have familiarized ourselves with the first episodes and are in a hurry to share our opinion.

Devil May Cry is one of the most important video game series of our time. However, after the epic finale of the fifth installment in 2019, the creators seem to have hit a dead end in terms of further plot development, which is why we haven't seen the famous demon hunter Dante and his expanding family for quite some time. It was therefore all the more pleasant to learn that Netflix is preparing an animated series of the same name based on the universe, with Adi Shankar, known for the successful show Castlevania, at the helm. The project promised to be a spin-off, but the plot and all details were kept secret until the premiere. As per tradition, the streaming service released all eight episodes at once, and we watched them in one go. In this review, we'll tell you why you must watch Devil May Cry.

The Studio is a new series from Apple, in which renowned comedy actor Seth Rogen takes on the roles of director, writer, and lead actor. On the premiere day, the audience was presented with the first two episodes, after which the internet exploded with numerous positive reviews from viewers and critics. We also checked out the new release and were absolutely thrilled. Details below.

Minecraft needs no introduction. Markus Persson's brainchild became a phenomenon captivating millions of players, but attempts to expand the universe beyond the original game remain questionable. Now Mojang, with Warner Bros. support, has made a new bet Minecraft: The Movie. Did the film meet expectations, and will the franchise receive a new development impulse? We watched it and are eager to share our impressions!

Adolescence is a new release from Netflix, which was immediately hailed as a brilliant debut and almost a new word in cinema. The four-part show tells the story of teenage violence, but does so as realistically as possible for a streaming service. As usual, we did not rely on others' opinions and watched the project ourselves. And we have a lot to discuss.

"Nezha Conquers the Dragon King" has grossed over $2 billion at the box office. No other animated film has yet surpassed this mark. But success among viewers does not guarantee that you will personally like the adventures of the young Chinese hero. We have watched the cartoon about Nazha and are in a hurry to share our impressions.

Long before its release, Snow White (2025) became one of the most criticized films online. Now that it's in wide release, we can evaluate it. Did Disney create something worthy of viewers' attention, or was the negative backdrop surrounding the film justified? Let's examine!

Severance, one of the most popular shows on Apple TV+, recently wrapped up its Season 2. The series from director Ben Stiller and writer Dan Erickson officially became the most-watched show on the platform, breaking the record of Ted Lasso, earned high ratings on IMDb, and earned recognition from Apple itself — Tim Cook even took part in the advertising campaign, starring in a promo video. Now that we have all 10 episodes in our hands, it's time to sum it up. And we published our series-by-series review here.

The Electric State — a new release from Netflix, directed by the famous Russo brothers. The event itself is intriguing, as after working on Avengers: Endgame, the pair hasn't released any outstanding films. Before the premiere, we knew almost nothing about the upcoming movie, so we watched the project from scratch, without impressions formed by trailers, leaks, and promotional posts. Moreover, the streaming service consistently delivers feature films filled with agendas but lacking depth and captivating plots. This significantly lowered expectations. What was the result, and is it worth spending time on The Electric State — more details below.

The fourth episode of the second season of Apple TV+'s Severance caused a real sensation among fans with the final "liar reveal." And it seems like it's time to draw an interim conclusion. What could the mysterious Lumon Industries corporation really be doing? What will happen to the main characters? What important project is Mark S., played by Adam Scott, working on? Let's try to figure out what's going on — with plot spoilers, of course. Our general impressions are described in this article.

After years of anticipation, Charlie Cox has once again donned Daredevil’s iconic suit, while the inimitable Vincent D’Onofrio returns as his arch-nemesis, Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin. Daredevil: Born Again is a soft reboot of Netflix’s cult series, now under Disney’s banner. Fans had plenty of concerns about the final quality of the project. Would the House of Mouse maintain the necessary level of darkness and grit? How would Daredevil fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Should we expect jokes and references to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law? These questions remain unanswered for now, but the first two episodes are out, and we have plenty to discuss.

Invincible has reached its third season and continues to earn high praise from critics. What started as a fresh take on the superhero genre has now fully transformed into something akin to a Marvel-style universe. However, judging by the reviews, no one seems to mind. We’ve watched the available episodes and are ready to answer the big question: does Season 3 deserve the hype?

The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is a new Netflix animated film about the white-haired monster slayer, Geralt. This feature-length film is based on the standalone short story A Little Sacrifice and chronologically takes place before everything that happened with Ciri, but after Geralt's introduction to Yennefer. It's the same Witcher, without aspirations for a grand epic, and seems to be the best way to remind fans of the project. We've watched the film, and its depth turned out to be significantly less than we would have liked. No matter how hard Netflix tries, the spirit of Slavic folklore remains elusive for the American company, but let's go through everything in order.

Captain America: Brave New World has been out for a week, but the internet's reaction is surprisingly tepid. However, this was expected. The key innovation of the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was the change of the main hero — Sam Wilson took Steve Rogers' place. We went to the screening with zero expectations, but it still managed to surprise us. We share our impressions in this article!

On January 29, the premiere of the first two episodes of the new animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man took place on small screens. The project did not generate much interest, but the creators chose an art style reminiscent of old comics, which was intriguing to some extent. We didn't miss the series' release and have already watched the available episodes. As it turned out, it was in vain. Details in the article.
