If you’ve been anywhere on social media in the past week or so, you’ll know the big splash that Hulu’s The Great has made. Released by the streaming giant on Friday, May 15th, The Great is the new historical comedy you’re going to fall in love with. The Great tells the “occasionally true story” of
Ever since COVID-19 took over the planet, our world as we know it has come to a standstill. This pandemic has affected every industry on this planet, and the entertainment industry is no different. Movies have either been pushed back or are released straight onto streaming services. Artists found creative ways to release videos and
Percy Jackson is finally being adapted into a TV show. Two mediocre movies (but with an impeccable cast) and years of begging have finally paid off. The extremely popular Percy Jackson & the Olympians book series by Rick Riordan has already been adapted for the big screen in the form of 2010s The Lightning Thief and
My Thoughts As a member of an underrepresented Indian ethnicity (a South Indian to be exact), I had low expectations for Netflix’s Never Have I Ever when it was first released. Trust me, I initially had bad assumptions about the show. I grew up watching American TV shows, and I always felt that the equation
* Editor’s note: This story contains mild spoilers* We have known Chris Evans as the star-spangled man with a plan – Captain America – for most of our lives.

The Goonies meets Dawson’s Creek in a brand new soapy-teen drama. I hadn’t heard much hype about this show – tt wasn’t on my radar until I came across a Tweet about it. That’s when I decided against giving the show the boot. It did take me going back-and-forth on the first episode for a

I’ve always appreciated this about the American identity, the dual nature
The media-service provider Netflix has wholly outdone itself with its release of “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness.” Since its release, the absurd docuseries has taken America by storm, prompting its domination as the leading stream on Netflix for several days. For plenty of viewers, the show has been a shocking distraction from the COVID-19
Malorie Blackman’s critically acclaimed novel series, Noughts & Crosses, has finally been adapted for TV by the BBC. It surprised me to learn that even though the first book was published in 2001 (before I was born!), this was the first successful attempt to adapt it. The first episode of any series has the tough job
Editor’s Note: This review contains spoilers for Stephen King’s Carrie and I Am Not Okay With This. Netflix has again brought us another teen supernatural show. Though unlike Stranger Things and Locke & Key, this show differs very slightly. I Am Not Okay With This strays away from caves, lab-based experiments, groups and keys to focus individually on Syd.
Disney+ has been on the streaming service scene for about three months now and if you haven’t joined it yourself, someone you know definitely has. As with every other streaming service (see Netflix), Disney+ offers its own original content to viewers, exclusive to the platform. However, much of Disney’s new content is aimed towards a
“America is a place to let your personality run free. As long as you’re not doing anything illegal, you’re free to follow your heart. You can even joke about the president. Nobody will do anything to you.” Freedom in thought and the need to survive are two very different things, and they represent a recurring
