With mixed results, “Good Side of Bad” seeks a less embellished version of experiencing a mental illness or supporting someone that does.
With 2024 officially over, let’s recap some of the best performances from the latter half of the year.
To some surprise, while the title might come off silly, it takes the business of running a demon army seriously.
Sanaz Toossi’s “English” becomes the latest example of why theaters should record their productions, for this to be trapped on a New York stage would be a crime.
The “Grisaia” franchise returns and its combination of deadly assassins with everyday young girls remains a complex mix of human capabilities.
The following is a cast guide for the OWN program “Ready To Love” featuring season 1 to 9 and the spin-offs in-between.
In Michelle Buteau’s “A Buteau-ful Mind” from family life to aging and talking about her allyship to the LGBT+ community, Buteau delivers the laughs.
“Blended Christmas” shows the challenges of a family which includes bonus children, an ex-spouse, and the effort for everyone to come together during Christmas.
“Bloody Axe Wound” achieves the rare balance of being funny, heartfelt, romantic, and bloody.
“Before” is one of those strange shows that starts and ends well but really challenges your loyalty throughout the middle.
“Babygirl” is the rare example where the story deserves more attention than the performances.
“Nosferatu” doesn’t justify bringing back the dead, even with Robert Eggers’ brand of visuals and eccentric performances to expendable characters.
Stephanie Hsu’s first major starring role is a bit rough and may struggle to win new fans and could test fans who were waiting for her to have her moment.
With it being the Christmas/Holiday season, here is a list of movies, and a show, to watch over the holiday season.
“Laid” ultimately feels like a show that shouldn’t have been remade and will test how bulletproof Stephanie Hsu’s career is (assuming this isn’t actually a rating bonanza for Peacock).
It appears episode 6 might have been a blip rather than a sign of things getting better.
With the introduction of Ruby’s last living “Big Love,” we get what this show has desperately needed from Ruby’s exes.
The day Ruby has been waiting for and dreaded finally has come.
An exception to the consecutive deaths is found! However, is it someone who deserves to live?
This is a show and character guide for Peacock’s “Laid” with character descriptions, quotes, information on groups and locations, and more.
While the names, faces, and potential acts done, gets laid out, it seems we’re still not going to get to know the exes. Just Ruby, and to some degree AJ.
While one conversation is the silver lining, a lot of what “Laid” gives this episode is disappointing and worrisome for the show’s future.
“Before” presents the idea it knew how to end the series, or first season, but wasn’t sure how to build up to it.
“Laid” doesn’t necessarily start strong, but Stephanie Hsu has enough charm to make you want to give this a chance.
This is a show and character guide for Peacock and Sky’s “The Day Of The Jackal” with character descriptions, quotes, information on groups and locations, and more.
Another episode focuses on Poppa Damon, and it seems that as “Poppa’s House” approaches its halfway mark, it is getting a handle on things.
Beyond being an inspirational story focused on Claressa Sheilds, “The Fire Inside” is a coming-of-age story you rarely see Black girls have on the big screen.
The final season of “My Brilliant Friend” makes it seem like, even with two additional episodes compared to past seasons, too much had to be covered, so everything is rushed.
Through Eddie Redmayne’s work and the development of his character, “The Jackal,” we get perhaps one of the best antiheroes of the year.
“Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines” gives you that high school nostalgia in perhaps the best or worst way, as it explores burgeoning feelings like love.
While an effort is made to build out the world in “Why Does Nobody Remember Me In This World?” Sadly, the answer to the title’s question is that no one is that memorable.
With Eli unable to duck and dodge the topic of Lynn, we finally get answers to one of the season’s most pertinent questions.
It had to happen eventually. Bianca lays eyes on The Jackal, and they find themselves in a situation where they must either run, fight, or die, and running doesn’t seem a viable option.
“Industry” remains one of the most consistent shows on television, with a 3rd season which reminds you why HBO has been a stable brand for decades.
Season 2 shows progress from the growing pains of season 1, but still seems a bit bloated and like it undertilizes its potential.
“F Mary Kill” presents a lighter and comical version of “Cat Person ” regarding what women may fear when dating men.
Attention is redirected towards Poppa Damon, who is dealing with his aging woes, and Junior, who lost his wedding ring.
“The Equalizer” has a holiday episode in which some fans may get what they want, but it may only deliver coal for others.
OWN For The Holidays returns, and as it becomes one of the last instances when OWN releases scripted content, this tame but likable film is not the best way to start the season.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
