Severance Season 2 Review
Severance was unlike anything else on television when it debuted in 2022. It was a series that, from its painstaking production design to its mystery box plot, felt very much of its time in its examination of labor and workplace suffering, but it also had the feel of a delectable throwback because of its mid-century modern appearance and the timeless nature of its main idea.

Flight Risk Ending Explained
Mel Gibson's 2025 thriller Flight Risk ends with a significant plot surprise and a memorable character death. Gibson is back to helm his first motion picture since Hacksaw Ridge, which won an Oscar in 2013. With a 22% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Flight Risk isn't likely to win any Oscars, but it does have a number of twists and turns that make for some exciting scenes. In addition to four-time Emmy nominee Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and That '70s Show alumnus Topher Grace, the cast of Flight Risk is remarkable and includes two-time Oscar contender Mark Wahlberg and his half-shaved head.

Anatomy of a Scene – ‘Family, Jimmy, Family’ (The Wire)
Sometimes, it takes a great work of fictional television to cause the viewer to do some soul searching themselves. ‘The Wire’ is not only an excellent crime drama and takes a critical lens to different facets of American society, but there are also multiple scenes that stand out for how they deliver truths to each of their characters for what they themselves are ignorant of or choose to forget. One of those scenes is short but whose succinctness of its message and point-blank delivery is something that you could do a deep analysis of. This scene that I’ve titled, ‘Family, Jimmy, Family’ feels like it’s not just about the character, Jimmy McNulty, one of the leading roles of the show and a deeply flawed one at that but also could reflect on our own lives and who we prioritize in them.

Jacob's Apartment
The artwork in Jacob's Apartment (2022), the Gen Z graphic novel by Joshua Kemble is spare, stark; functionary. It complements the story of Jacob who, seemingly, has never known many happy days.
