- 8-Bit Christmas (2021)
Are you looking for a new Christmas movie to enjoy? 8-Bit Christmas (2021) is a healthy and amusing recollection of how important your Christmas present was to you when you were ten years old. Jake Doyle (Neil Patrick Harris) tells his daughter about how he and his pals sought to buy the Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas in 1988 in a working-class neighborhood of Illinois. We can all relate to the difficulties and tribulations of trying to receive that present we’ve been dreaming of and not knowing if Santa will get the job done on Christmas Day, whether it’s a red-headed Cabbage Patch doll or the still elusive PlayStation 5.
- Hacks (2021-)
Jean Smart is deserving of all the accolades she receives, including the Emmy she received this year for her portrayal of diva comedian Deborah Vance in Hacks. Deborah finds herself working with a Gen-Z comedy writer named Ava who can’t do anything right, just as her Las Vegas show prepares to limit the amount of appearances per week (and hence her compensation). The two reluctantly learn from each other and create a more honest show for Deborah thanks to some superb writing that is darkly humorous and yet feels all too real.
- Raised by Wolves (2020-)
Raised by Wolves is a horror science fiction series that makes you wonder who is the good person and who is the bad man. For the first two episodes, Ridley Scott directed and executive produced the show, which introduces two androids named Father and Mother who crash land on the lonely Kepler-22b planet and give birth to human infants. They appear to be a happy family until they are forced to meet paths with a group of human missionaries who are distrustful of the androids due to an accident. That’s when the audience knows the two groups have been at odds for a long time and are seeking vengeance.
