Felicia Day
San Diego Comic Con is a little thin to some eyes this year. The absence of many studios and a majority of Hall H has many attendees selling off their badges to people more motivated by the smaller panels. I personally think it's a great thing, both for SDCC and for the strikers. We want this strike to hurt the industry, that’s the point. That said, now comic con can operate more like an actual convention for industry fans and professionals. And among the things that fans get to enjoy comic con weekend is the beautiful and wonderfully nerdy, Felicia Day.

Good Omens
Okay so I love Neil Gaimen and Terry Prachet but as the slacker I am I have not seen nor read Good Omens. So in preparation for SDCC and the coming of the second season of the show I decided I should probably catch up. As a huge fan of David Tennant I knew that I was going to enjoy the show but when I say that the show exceeded all expectations, I mean it.

Black Mirror's 'Beyond The Sea' Fails to Deconstruct Toxic Masculinity
The episode Beyond The Sea is probably one of the most disappointing ones in the entire sixth season of Black Mirror. Set in an alternate 1969, it's a story about two astronauts that have the ability to transfer their consciousnesses back down to Earth on their mission's downtime into artificial robots called replicas. This technological feat allows them to maintain their lives back home in a kind of inverse work-from-home situation.

Reviewing VC Andrews' Dawn (Part 1: "Dawn")
So this year, Lifetime is returning to the VC Andrews pool with their adaptation of the legendary author's Dawn series. As we all know, Andrews' most known work was, of course, Flowers in the Attic, and we've seen Lifetime air not only that adaptation, but the prequel series as well. I'm somewhat familiar with Andrews' work, though I've never read the books. I have watched the films, though, especially the Ruby series, which I absolutely loved!

Invincible
Ahead of San Diego Comic Con I thought it important to check off some things that have been on my watch list forever ahead of some pretty big announcements. Let’s start with Invincible, not just another superhero show. And something that certainly proves that animation is not inherently for kids.

Invincible and The Boys
In a world that is dominated by both Marvel and DC superheroes that preach morality and the human struggle, other superhero projects show us an arguably more realistic perspective of superhero life. Invincible and The Boys both satirize popular superheroes and offer a different viewpoint on what it means to be powerful.

Decoding "The Idol": A Provocative Tale of Power and Intrigue
HBO's run of its captivating series, "The Idol," has just completed. However, the show faced intense criticism, with the media treating it as if it were something out of the 16th century witch trials. Yet, upon delving into the myriad of articles, one thing becomes apparent: many critics simply failed to grasp its essence. Some even claimed to explain the show while overlooking crucial details, leaving readers with more questions than answers. Perhaps, one wonders if these authors truly understand the intricacies of human experiences or have enough depth in their own lives to comprehend it fully.

The Ashley Madison Affair on Hulu
If there was ever a time that adultery was trendy; it would be the time of the heyday of extra-marital affair dating site Ashley Madison. The site that started in 2001, and is still operational today, despite the setbacks of a 2015 cyber hack that ruined lives, was the place to go before Tinder for discrete hookups outside of your marriage. In a new three-part Hulu Original Series done by ABC News Studios, we are exposed to the history of the site from its meager beginnings to rise to infamy and the events surrounding a cyber security hack that most assumed would play the part of its demise.

Secret Invasion
We’ve established thus far that I am less than impressed with the Secret Invasion series so far. Which is mostly disappointing because I feel up to this point the Disney+ series have been more good then bad. But the real problem with this show is the entire lack of emotional connection. There is no heart, no reason for the audience to care about any of these characters. That is the show's biggest problem so far, the little ones however are a big reason why it's been difficult to power through the show. It's slow, the pacing is really poor, and they have opted to make it visually very dark which was a poor decision. Normally 2 bad episodes won’t kill a show IF it starts getting drastically better after the 3rd, however it will only be a 6 episode series so we are officially halfway through. Will it get better? Or is this officially the worst Disney+ MCU show?
