Black Mirror Embraces a Season of Firsts in This Season Four Making-Of Featurette

Black Mirror’s fourth season is, in hindsight, a radically ambitious feat for Charlie Brooker and his team of reality-breaking creators. It faces the criticisms that season three fell into a rut of cynicism and familiarity with what producer Annabel Jones calls, in this Netflix featurette, “a series of firsts.” There are the formal innovations, like…

The Next Season of Handmaid’s Tale Is Going Beyond the Book—and the Boundaries of Gilead

The first season of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale adapted the classic, haunting Margaret Atwood novel in its entirety—leaving the slate clean for the show to move beyond the novel into a deeper look at the story’s dystopian world. That’ll include something only barely referenced in the original novel: The lands beyond Gilead still occupied by society’s…

The X-Files Course Corrects by Reminding Us Why We Love Mulder and Scully

We were concerned about The X-Files’ 11th season after last week—that scene where Scully gripped her throbbing noggin and shrieked “What is going on?” was, shall we say, extremely relatable. This week, there was still plenty of mystery, but with less angst—and thank goodness, way more warmth, and humor. Episode two, titled “This,” isn’t one…

Popular culture caught up to Philip K. Dick. The audacious imaginings of the legendary science fiction author bled into thousands of ideologically descendant books, films, and movies, even as some technologies he dreamed up became reality. That catching-up poses a significant challenge for Electric Dreams, Amazon Prime’s new anthology TV series based on his short…

Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona’s Runaways comic is rightfully well-loved, and it was difficult to imagine how Marvel could adapt the series as a live-action television show that truly honored the spirit of the source material. But that’s exactly what Hulu managed to do. And it’s impressive as hell. Though the first season of…
