The second season of Making A Murderer attempts to grapple with the deep scars wrought by the success of its first—for about six minutes, encompassing the montage of news headlines and local TV clips that open the season premiere. It comes across as well-intended but half-hearted, though it still frames one of the…

“The Devil You Know” is an episode about two lonely, disaffected men in vulnerable positions. One relies on his support system to guide him towards the light, while the other falls under the spell of a monstrous force that pushes him towards the dark. It’s a relevant, timely story about the power…

Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter publication has infiltrated many an inbox since it was launched in 2015 by the Girls creator and her longtime collaborator Jenni Konner. Yesterday, the New York Post reported that its time had come to an end, with operations ceasing on Friday. This was confirmed earlier today by a statement…

Two episodes in, Riverdale’s third season is already off the deep end, and the show is all the better for it. In this week’s Dial M For Maple, hosts Marah and Cameron discuss satanic board games, speculate the dark shared past of the parents, and extol the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school…

Longtime readers of The A.V. Club may already know that we’re fans of the American Genre Film Archive, the Austin-based organization that does the important work of rescuing the B-movies that other archives won’t touch and treating them like the unique and valuable cultural artifacts that they are. In the past, AGFA…

If size trumps features in your hierarchy of TV needs, this 65" Sceptre 4K TV is a steal for just $430, one of the best prices we’ve seen for a TV of this size. It doesn’t have smart apps or HDR, but what it does have is four HDMI ports, which is more than you get in a lot of high end TV sets.

There are a lot of upsides to Daredevil’s return to the tone, characters, and plot points of the show’s first season. But there’s one big downside too: If, like me, you watched that season over the course of three days back in April 2015, it can be kind of hard to remember what happened in it.…

Can two people stay together happily forever? The new six-episode Netflix series Wanderlust attempts to answer this age-old question by intimately dissecting the marriage of an English couple, a therapist and an academic. The therapist is played by Toni Collette, who once again proves that she is one of the finest…

In April, Massive Attack revealed it would celebrate the 20th anniversary of its seminal Mezzanine by encoding it into 920,000 actual strands of DNA, which, cool? While it was neat to hear how the process could preserve the album for “hundreds to thousands of years,” fans were maybe a little more interested in next…

There’s a lot of music out there. To help you cut through all the noise, every week The A.V. Club is rounding up A-Sides, five recent releases we think are worth your time.

Over the course of the past two episodes, a lot of characters have criticized the fact that Fisk has been let out of prison. I can’t quite figure out how much we’re supposed to buy into their point of view. I can definitely get onboard with Foggy’s argument that a murderous criminal kingpin should…

A film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s indomitable Cats—a prospect that’s treated like a punchline in John Guare’s wonderful Six Degrees of Separation—is very much happening, with Les Misérables director Tom Hooper at the helm and the likes of Ian McKellen, Jennifer Hudson, Idris Elba, and Taylor Swift willing to…

Despite what the name of this section may lead you to believe, there’s a lot of bad stuff online. The internet is not only a reflection of our tumultuous external world but also our internal lives, and there’s a lot of bad stuff in there, too. But, at least for today, we can all take some joy in this singular very…

It’s kind of hard to believe that First Man has been in theaters for less than a week. Hasn’t the controversy surrounding this movie been raging for a small eternity? Damien Chazelle’s biodrama about Neil Armstrong, the late astronaut and American icon, has already inspired an entire awards season’s worth of hot-take…

The hot new meme has been found and it’s about two of the internet’s very favorite things: nostalgia and The Simpsons. By combining memories of the heady days of pre-BitTorrent file sharing and classic scenes from the cartoon series, mad image tinkerers have brewed up a potent mix designed to take the online world by…

It’s time for pumpkins and fall leaves, crisp cool air and wool sweaters, the Duke of Fall and the High Priest of the Harvest. So with that in mind:

After two smaller scale episodes that largely focused on Matt Murdock, “No Good Deed” switches Daredevil’s third season into a new gear by expanding the show’s world and setting up the major Daredevil vs. Wilson Fisk conflict of the season. Unfortunately, it isn’t the smoothest transition in the…

HBO’s Veep is scheduled to come to an end sometime next year, and, over the previous six seasons, the show has racked up too many hilarious moments to count. The number of insults thrown at Jonah that make us blurt-laugh alone could constitute their own weekly feature. Needless to say, we’ll be sad to see the show go.…

Intellectual property either dies ignominiously or lives enough to see itself turned into a porn parody. Or, if you’re Mario, your lovable, kid-friendly reputation is sullied by the internet’s unnecessary reveal of his dick and nipples. Well, it doesn’t end there.

A Quiet Place landed with a thundering cha-ching when it hit theaters last April, prompting Paramount to almost immediately announce that a sequel was in the works with “the same group of people that made the first film.” Wh0 those people were remained unclear, but apparently director and star John Krasinski didn’t…

All too often, cartoonish comic book art is dismissed as childish and frivolous. Exaggerated visuals are assumed to lack seriousness or dramatic depth, but the work of Rob Guillory is a prime example of why these assumptions are wrong. Yes, there’s an inherent sense of humor in Guillory’s art, but he’s shown time and…

Though he’s a risk-taking thrill-seeking vigilante, it turns Matt Murdock isn’t a big fan of change. So when his circumstances shift, he tends to reach out for a rigid ideology to define himself by. As a newly blinded, recently orphaned kid, Matt latched on to his Catholic faith as a guiding force…

It was announced earlier this year that Maroon 5 would headline the 2019 Super Bowl’s halftime show, though it appears they weren’t the organizers’ first choice. Yesterday, Us Weekly reported that Rihanna was initially offered the slot, but that the Anti singer turned it down as a show of support to Colin Kaepernick,…

Part workplace farce, part creeping phantasmagoria, “House of Special Purpose” is the most interesting episode of The Romanoffs so far. But the lack of cohesiveness to the story’s assorted moods, pokey pacing that drains the tension the episode attempts to create, and an ending that essentially turns the episode into…

Daredevil is a show built from familiar pieces assembled in unexpected ways. You see that most clearly in the show’s conception of Matt Murdock. Given his guilt-ridden demeanor, obsession with vigilante violence, and dead-dad issues, Matt could easily feel like a Batman knockoff. Yet rather than…
