House of the Dragon Season 3 is disjointed, thrilling and maddening at any given moment, yet inescapably compelling. Here's our review.

"House of the Dragon" is better than ever, and the new season will have you hanging on every single moment.

“If this be victory,” a character on “House of the Dragon” reflects while gazing out at a corpse-strewn battlefield, “I hope I never see another.” That line is essentially the thesis statement of the “Game of Thrones” prequel series, which returns on June 21 after a now-customary two-year absence. (Franchise fans could get their fix […]

X-Men '97 Season 2 continues to affirm that the animated series is one of the greatest Marvel Studios projects ever. Here's our review.

There can be magic to summertime, especially during the teen years. Based on Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel “Every Summer After” and adapted by Amy B. Harris, Prime Video’s romantic drama “Every Year After” captures the whimsy, nostalgia and heartbreak of first loves and tragic endings. Told over the course of six summers, then picking up […]

Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker lock horns over an inappropriate age-gap romance

The post ‘Alice And Steve’ review: bickering besties’ breezy anti-romcom appeared first on NME.

Throughout the third season of AMC’s “Interview With the Vampire,” characters speak with equal parts dread, anticipation and awe of something called the “Great Transformation.” The phrase has its own meaning within Anne Rice’s lush, grandiose world of bloodsuckers and spell-casters as interpreted by creator and showrunner Rolin Jones. But it’s also a meta description […]

Despite his death nearly 20 years ago, there are still few figures on Earth as famous as Michael Jackson. A singular entertainer, Jackson’s music has a timelessness and energy that reverberates across generations. However, the “Thriller” artist’s eccentricities and legal battles also remain forever tethered to his name. When Jackson was accused of multiple accounts […]

Can Javier Bardem and Amy Adams stay afloat amid the choppy seas of fan expectation?

The post ‘Cape Fear’ review: psych-thriller reimagining sticks closer to book than Scorsese’s classic appeared first on NME.

The Apple TV take on Cape Fear, featuring Javier Bardem, Amy Adams, and Patrick Wilson, is very effective when it's not bogged down by a sprawling story.

John D. MacDonald’s novel “The Executioners” has been adapted for film twice as “Cape Fear”: first in 1962, starring Robert Mitchum, and again in 1991, starring Robert De Niro and directed by Martin Scorsese. The latest adaptation, an Apple TV series created by Nick Antosca, is perhaps the most unnerving and intense retelling yet. A […]

Mindy Kaling is moving through the stages of life. With Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever,” the comedy mogul took on high school; with HBO Max’s “The Sex Lives of College Girls,” she (literally) graduated to college. Hulu’s “Not Suitable for Work” — Kaling’s first show with sole creator credit since “The Mindy Project,” showrun by […]

SPOILER ALERT: The following piece contains plot details from “In God We Trust,” the series finale of “Euphoria,” now streaming on HBO Max. Throughout its third — and now confirmed to be final — season, “Euphoria” already felt like it had fractured into several different shows under the nominal banner of what was once the HBO […]

In 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to land on the moon. In Apple TV’s alternative-history sci-fiction drama “For All Mankind,” which premiered in 2019, creators Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi illustrate what might have happened if the Soviet Union had actually beaten the United States to the moon. The long-running […]

The Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas — tucked into the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains on the San Fernando Valley’s far western edge — is, in many ways, ground zero for reality TV as we know it. This is the home of the Kardashians, the genre’s first family, whose rise to fame familiarized the world […]

Netflix’s “The Four Seasons,” an adaptation of Alan Alda’s 1981 film of the same name, has returned for a second season, and this time, grief, mid-life crises, babies and depression are on the menu. Created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, the first season followed three couples, all-decades-long friends, who vacation together throughout […]

On the surface, "Spider-Noir" seems like the perfect vehicle for Nicolas Cage to shine - but the lackluster script keeps it from reaching its full potential.

Detective Webhead's on the case in this TV spin-off

The post ‘Spider-Noir’ review: Nicolas Cage’s big, campy swing for the superhero crowd appeared first on NME.

Spider-Noir smoothly fuses superhero fare with film noir and features yet another oddball Nicolas Cage performance. Here's our review.

Late in the first season of the Netflix animated comedy “Mating Season,” the protagonists — beta bear Josh (Zach Woods), randy raccoon Ray (Nick Kroll), Sapphic fox Penelope (Sabrina Jalees) and single deer Fawn (June Diane Raphael) — gather on the couch to watch “MiceFlix.” (Is the concept even a feeble attempt at a pun? No! […]

Older folks are revered for their wisdom as they’re simultaneously pushed toward the edges of society. It is a conundrum most people don’t begin to consider until they near their own twilight years. In Netflix’s sci-fi horror dramedy, “The Boroughs,” creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, along with executive producers the Duffer brothers, deliver a […]

Watching the premiere of “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed,” Apple TV subscribers may get a distinct sense of déjà vu. Just last month, the streaming service premiered “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” a limited series about a single mother entering the world of virtual sex work via OnlyFans. The premiere of “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed,” which was created by […]

Following the success of its faith-based successes “The Chosen” and “House of David,” Amazon Prime is expanding in the genre with “It’s Not Like That,” from creators Ian Deitchman and Kristin Robinson. The intricate family drama uses Christianity as a pillar, but extends outward to explore the sticky nuances and unexpected circumstances that arise amid […]

Guilty pleasures are one thing, but utterly delicious bits of television are something else entirely. Season 2 of Hulu’s “Rivals,” the 1980s-set dark comedy adapted from Jilly Cooper’s “Rutshire Chronicles” novels, is exactly that. The series, which is set in the fictional county of Rutshire, England, follows an intense rivalry. Legendary television executive Lord Tony Baddingham […]

In Netflix’s latest crime series “Nemesis,” “Power” Universe creator Courtney A. Kemp and co-creator Tani Morale explore the different prisms of morality through the eyes of two vastly different men, trying to carve out a legacy for themselves. One man works within a system that was never supposed to embrace him, and another in an […]

The first contemporary “Yellowstone” spinoff, “Marshals,” kept the Montana setting but switched genres from big-budget soap opera to humble broadcast procedural. The second, “Dutton Ranch,” maintains the tone of the original while transplanting the action to Texas — not coincidentally, the home of “Yellowstone” creator and “Dutton Ranch” executive producer Taylor Sheridan and the backdrop of […]

It is quite a bold thing to reimagine a film as widely beloved and praised as 1984’s Academy Award-winning “Amadeus.” Starz’s latest historical drama, “Amadeus,” is based on Peter Shaffer‘s 1979 play of the same name (which was inspired by Alexander Pushkin’s 1830 play “Mozart and Salieri”) and adapted to television by Joe Barton. The limited […]

Despite what the obligatory disclaimer before each episode may say, the Israeli thriller “Unconditional” — which aired on Keshet 12 in its country of origin last month before coming to Apple TV in the U.S. — is clearly inspired by real-life events. When 23-year-old Gali (Talia Lynne Ronn, in her on screen debut) is abruptly detained in […]

From “Ozark” co-creator, Bill Dubuque, Peacock’s latest crime drama, “M.I.A.,” is a wild and bloody ride focusing on family, vengeance and having the courage to do what’s right. Set in South Florida, the series follows Etta Tiger Jonze (Shannon Gisela), who finds herself reeling in the aftermath of a tragedy. Determined to make those responsible […]

In the parlance of undercover operatives, a “legend” is the false identity one concocts to infiltrate a criminal network. “Your legend has to come from you, or it won’t work. Your legend has to be part of you, or it won’t work,” explains Don (Steve Coogan), a British customs agent charged with training a group […]
