Let’s be real: Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) is no one’s favorite Avenger, and the show even addresses this. Regardless, that didn’t stop me from being interested in this series, and I’m glad it didn’t. The dual Disney+ premiere, which hasn’t been done by Marvel since WandaVision in January, gave me everything I wanted and expected. Whether it be well-executed action, solid laughs, an interesting plot, nods to the Matt Fraction comic run it’s based on, plenty of Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop and, of course, Lucky the Pizza Dog.

Reboots of classic films or franchises often go for viewers’ nostalgia to drive ticket sales, Ghostbusters: Afterlife does much of the same, similar to how Doctor Sleep (the recent sequel to The Shining) did. That’s to say that it provides an original story that is still connected to the original film, but also gives the audience time to get invested in the characters and plot, therefore earning its dose of nostalgia, at least for the most part.

True crime is typically enthralling but not usually fun, yet Tiger King’s first season figured out a way to be both. However, its second season didn’t figure out how to be either.

Red Notice is the long-delayed collaboration between Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot; though it would have benefitted from never being released at all. The film is a derivative and ugly mess, trying to balance a fast pace and thoughtful twists while never achieving either goal.

Warning: Spoilers for Army of the Dead.

Marvel’s Eternals is the long-awaited look at the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While that story may need to be told, it probably should’ve been told in a different way than what we ended up getting. The film is uneven, trying to tell the history of the MCU while simultaneously introducing a dozen or so completely new characters. It works at times, but it just can’t live up to its vast scope.

As spooky season passes, the temperatures start to dip, the leaves turn color and subsequently fall to the ground, you may find yourself in the mood to stay inside more often. Fall is kicking into full swing, people, so that means it’s time to sit down, pop some popcorn, gather your loved ones and embark on some cinematic journeys. Whether you’re looking for a long haul or a quick trilogy, here are some great places to start, provided you have the requisite streaming services:

Last Night in Soho is the latest film from Edgar Wright, the filmmaker behind films like Hot Fuzz and Baby Driver. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite hit the same high bar of quality as those films.

The Thing was initially misunderstood by both audiences and critics, who saw it as nothing more than an excuse for needless gore and violence. Legendary film critic Roger Ebert, at the time, even went as far to call it “a great barf bag movie” and to say that “...this material has been done before, and better…” Thus, it went on to be a failure, both financially and critically.

Dune has been one of my most anticipated films of this year (and last year before its delay), not due to its source material — which I’m mostly unfamiliar with — but due to the caliber of the film’s director, cast, cinematographer and composer.

Going in, I expected an overly long but satisfying end to the Daniel Craig era of Bond films, and that’s exactly what I got. No Time to Die isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination, it’s actually pretty good, but it could’ve been better if not for a tedious, slow second act and below-average characterization for its female characters.

After being delayed for over a year, Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle) makes his violent return in Halloween Kills. While the film may be vastly different from its predecessor, it does live up to its title. Michael Myers absolutely lets loose on the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois.

On My Block used to be a great show, at least at the start. The seasons have gone down in quality ever since Ruby (Jason Genao) and Olivia (Ronni Hawk) were shot, maybe that was some sort of warning for the show slowly bleeding out as it continued, which it has. The second and third seasons were fine, never bad — but bordering on it occasionally. The third season also gave the show a solid ending, which it immediately gets to rectify in it’s final ten-episode season.

Last week I said that What If…? was doing what it should’ve been doing from the beginning; this week it reverses course.

Is The Guilty a great film? No, not really. Is it a bad film? Also no. It’s a mostly fine thriller with a great performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, who also serves as a producer on the project.

Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat, Midnight Mass is spectacular in almost every conceivable way.

What If…? 's penultimate episode of its first season is doing what it always should’ve done from the start, make things matter.

What If…?’s seventh episode follows what would happen if Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) were never brothers. What follows is a loose retelling of 2011’s Thor that quickly turns into something quite different and unexpected, with an ending that teases a multiversal crossover.

Sex Education’s third season picks up a few months after season two left off, with Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Maeve (Emma Mackey) separated and heartbroken, Jean (Gillian Anderson) unexpectedly becoming pregnant with Jakob’s (Mikael Persbrandt) baby, Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Adam (Connor Swindells) in the beginning stages of a relationship, Mr. Groff (Alistair Petrie) had been ousted from his position as Head Teacher and replaced by Hope Haddon (Jemima Kirke) and Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood) still coping from last season’s trauma. Needless to say, there’s a lot going on and a lot of people to keep track of, just like a real high school.

The sixth entry into the What If…? anthology follows what would happen if Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) rescued Tony Stark (Mick Wingert) at the beginning of 2008’s Iron Man. This leads to Tony never becoming the hero and icon he was previously destined to become, causing huge ripple effects to the universe in the process.
