Saw XPhoto: Alexandro Bolaños Escamilla/LionsgateHorror is, shall we say, a genre that’s very fond of sequels. We’re all for it when a part two (or a part 10) honors its inspiration while also justifying its own existence by delivering a satisfying, thrilling story.

The Nun II reminded us that the Conjuring Universe is still a reliable go-to for frights; Insidious: The Red…

That For All Mankind isn’t one of the biggest shows in the world might make sense, if not for other shows like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, or Severance. All of them are originals released through Apple TV+, one of those streamers maybe you subscribe to while a show is on and then cancel, or mess around with for a year when you get a new iPhone. But, unlike For All Mankind, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Severance, and others are pretty damned popular. They win Emmys. They have Funko Pops. By all public measures, they’re…

Photo: Russ Martin/FXTo quote Laszlo: “Well, fuck my old boots!” In its fifth season, What We Do in the Shadows still felt like a fresh delight, consistently finding new situations for the vampires to find themselves in–going to the mall, attending a Pride parade, becoming accidental stars on the local news, spending too much time at Panera Bread–and making them absurd and hilarious.
