“Lovecraft Country” continues the burgeoning tradition of, within the fantasy/horror genre, embedding Black stories to bring America’s shameful history back to life.
“Love and Monsters” reminds you Dylan O’Brien is one of this generation’s top action stars and will likely be the one people compare others to in the future.
While “Raised By Wolves” starts off with so much promise, by the end of season 1, nearly every bit of its potential is lost.
Like “Ne Zha,” “Jiang Ziya” feels like an epic that can appeal to children but doesn’t lose the adults watching in the process.
“Secret Society of Second-Born Royals” won’t ease your MCU fix, but it’s good enough on its own to want to see more.
When it comes to “Enola Holmes,” it never escapes its association with Sherlock Holmes, and thus struggles with establishing itself beyond Sherlock’s shadow.
A film about a young woman trying to get an abortion and keeping it from everyone due to imposed shame – yet it is also a comedy.
I want you to imagine a documentary in which the subject goes out of their way to go against everything agreed upon and is hellbent on chaos. That’s DTF.

Unless you’ve grown tired of this new sub-genre of Black horror, mainly focused on the psychological effects of racism, you’ll find Lovecraft Country to be a wild ride.

While it may not be what die-hard fantasy fans want or need, there is enough in “Cursed” to hold you over until something with a bit more oomph comes around.
“The Old Guard” gives you the summer blockbuster you’d expect to see in theaters from the comfort of your home.
“Only” is a sci-fi drama, with a small cast, that is less about entertaining its audience and more about trying to use the sci-fi element for a bait and switch.
While an inconsistent villain presence does sometimes plague “Gleipnir,” in terms of character investment and story? It goes beyond expectations.
If a fan of Bella Thorne, you’ll see she is in her element when it comes to playing Arielle in “Infamous.”
“Doom Patrol,” formerly locked up behind a paywall not worth paying for, adds yet another reason to have HBO Max.
