After the Clone Wars, Maul plots to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire. Good enough to suggest, easy enough to watch, there’s some real cool parts with some real cool characters. I’d love to see more Maul content from when he was in deep with the syndicates.

Ben Reilly, an aging and down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero. An utterly enjoyable and well made noir story that just happens to feature some super powered characters acting like every other character in every other noir film I’ve ever watched. I’ve slowly fallen in love with the genre and Spider-Noir does all it’s homages the way I like them, hardboiled in an optional black and white. Buy On Amazon!
A motor-mouthed outsider with no memory of his past is offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck. The season of seconds, this is a bit better than the first season and is at it’s best when it leans hard on the supernatural. The shooting and explosions are terrible and...

Star Trek: No Man’s Land picks up right after the action-packed season one conclusion of Star Trek: Picard.

After surviving Godzilla’s attack on San Francisco, Cate is shaken yet again by a shocking secret. Amid monstrous threats, she embarks on a globetrotting adventure to learn the truth about her family—and the mysterious organization known as Monarch. Season 2 was a huge step up from season 1 and sets up a rather fun season 3, as is the tradition in all modern television. Buy On Amazon!
As Frank Castle searches for meaning beyond revenge, an unexpected force pulls him back into the fight. I feel like this was based off one of the more ambition comic book stories, but I’ve done no research and refuse to spend another second thinking about this waste of time. The comic maybe had a lady getting eaten by a polar bear at the end of the story arc? Maybe! This made for TV movie was lower quality that I though the MCU was aiming for, featuring bad fight scenes, bad cgi, and a story that bored me. Buy On Amazon!
Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with heightened abilities, is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course. A good season with some mediocre court room scenes and a rather silly ending that involved a completely unearned “V For Vendetta” style uprising that had me rolling with laughter at how ridiculous the entire thing was with a city dressing up like the devil of hell’s kitchen. What a silly turn of...

Here she is, a young woman who saw her planet destroyed and was...
Her world is dominated by a totalitarian government that interferes in the personal lives of its citizens, punishing transgressors for so-called “unnatural” relationships. The comic is rated M for Mature, and for good reason, there’s plenty of nudity in each issue, enough to keep my attention at least. The story gets somewhat lost in the third act, but it ties everything up in a way that I felt satisfied by the ending. Buy On Amazon!
Dan Chase absconded from the CIA decades ago and now lives off the grid. When an assassin arrives and tries to take Chase out, the old operative learns that to ensure his future he now must reconcile his past. Season 2 is here and done and it’s as well made as it is frustrating. The story wraps up most of the dangling threads from season 1, but creates more dangling threads in the process with some goofy elements that would have felt more at home in a 80’s James Bond film than a serious modern spy thriller.
