Watching the first season of?Daredevil, I had the realization that Netflix wasn’t just ‘pretending’ to deliver actual, original content. Yes, there had been shows like?House of Cards?and?Orange is the New Black, but?Daredevil?was?must-watch television or what I call “ignore the wife and kids”-worthy. While the second season wasn’t quite as stirring, it still proves to be…

Some serials seem to grow stale with age, especially when they attempt to continue their “ripped from the headlines” approach to issues. Blue Bloods, entering its eighth season in September, is not one of them. While my wife and I discovered the series starring Tom Selleck as N.Y. City Police Commissioner Reagan after it had…

From the Canadian writer/director team of Cal Brunker and Bob Barlen (Escape from Planet Earth,?upcoming?Son of Bigfoot),?The Nut Job 2?is the clever sequel to the 2014 animated film starring Will Arnett that?wasn’t?The Lego Movie?… but was just as funny.
