Anne Hathaway in Amazon Prime's Solos.

Is Amazon Prime's Solos perfect? No. But there are episodes worth watching, a.k.a. Anne Hathaway, Anthony Mackie, and Uzo Aduba's for their performances alone.

It's Loki's time and if you've been online for as long as I have, you know that so many of us have been waiting for this show since Tom Hiddleston first appeared in Thor. So whatever Loki is going to sell to us, I'm here for it and especially if it is a journey just for Loki.

Law and Order: Special Victims Unit Is Filled With Highlights About How Cops Aren’t Great at Their Jobs

Christopher Meloni and Diane Neal in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999)

As a teen watching it there were things that always struck me as ... odd about the show. I didn't have the language for it then, but as an adult, I finally do: The show is very good at highlighting police incompetence of the highest order.

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone Delivers Long Overdue Asian Diversity

Netflix Shadow and Bone key art featuring Jessie Mei Li's Alina.

Now that the show has premiered and started trending worldwide, I can speak freely about how this adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's "Grishaverse" books is an unprecedented step forward in Asian representation. Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has four prominent Asian characters in its ensemble, and all of them are breaking up the Asian monolith fallacy.
