Missing You 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Pointless casting! Cowardly loyalty to a color palette! Smart people making dumb decisions! People living in amazing houses they could never afford! If you can get past all that, it's an easy-to-watch 5-hour-plus series with a reasonable twist.

First, the good. Rosalind Eleazar is great, as she is in everything. However, are we supposed to believe that Steve Pemberton is a genuinely menacing criminal genius? As much as I love him, he's just not. The character Aqua looks to be about 24 and was roommates with Kat's fiancé for 4 years - 11 years ago? When she was what, 9? Brendan is supposed to be 19? It's all SO DUMB. I know it's not meant to be all gritty and hyper-realistic, but please make it a little easier to suspend our disbelief. It would make some of her regrettable decisions easier to swallow.

Stars: Rosalind Eleazar, Ashley Walters, Mary Malone

And look, it was wonderful about 8 or 10 years ago when we started seeing a specific color palette being dedicated throughout a series or movie. A Cure for Wellness, for example. As a marketer, I wholeheartedly approved of it. But is it time to move on? It's almost oddly distracting.

Whatever part of England this series is set in, I want to move there. On a perfectly normal salary, I could afford a spectacular detached house with a character. And with land! I know it's probably better to see beautiful places than squashed new-build townhouses, but see my earlier request: make it easier for us to suspend our disbelief, not harder.

Honestly, if you can see past all that, it's a pretty entertaining and suspenseful series. If you've seen other Harlan Coben Netflix adaptations, it's exactly what you should expect. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, unless you're a grumpy old lady like me.

A Minecraft Movie 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

If you were to throw a bucket in Hollywood today, you could easily find a dozen video game adaptations in development, either as TV series or movies. They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie." Director: Jared Hess Writers: Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener Stars: Jennifer Coolidge, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers For the uninitiated, Microsoft-owned "Minecraft" is a sandbox game that immerses players in the Overworld, a whimsical dimension made up of blocky, box-like voxels. There's no single story or single way to play: users can craft items, build structures, ba...

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...
