Extraordinary: A Refreshingly Good Comedy
Extraordinary is well-named. It indeed does go beyond what you would expect of a raunchy comedy, especially given the initial premise.

Top 10 Best Lorwyn Eclipsed Cards
I remember playing the original Lorwyn; it was one of the first sets I ever played. After so much time, it’s kind of surreal to return to the plane.
It Came From The Archives! “Paradise: One Of The Best Shows Around”
Paradise is one of the best-written shows I’ve seen in a long time. It’s intricate without being confusing. Multi-layered without pulling away from its core storytelling. And gives answers to its many posed questions at a good enough pace that it’s always surprising that there’s another layer of mystery to uncover.
The Gorge Manages To Have Some Great Scenes
The Gorge is one of the best cosmic horror movies I have ever seen—for the very short time that it actually allows itself to be one. The other (much bigger) part of the movie is a mess. Full of weird decisions, a baffling ending, and so much else wrong with it.
The First Snow of Fraggle Rock Is Weird But Cute
The First Snow of Fraggle Rock is super cute, but it’s not what I hoped it would be. I assumed that this was an introduction to whatever Fraggle Rock is for people who have never seen it—which includes me.
The Sisters Grimm: An Adorable Fairy Tale Show
The Sisters Grimm is a charming little cartoon that basically succeeds at everything it’s trying to do and does so with a surprising level of detail and consideration.
WondLa And How To Make Sci-Fi Kids Shows
WondLa is what a children’s television series should aspire to be. It’s kid-friendly but doesn’t disrespect its audience. It uses tropes but doesn’t fall into them completely. Despite having a very fleshed-out world to build, it doesn’t stop and shove exposition. At every point in the first three episodes, you are expected to pay attention to small details and look for answers to its many mysteries.
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy – Pieces of the Past Is Fine Enough
The first issue I have with LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy—Pieces of the Past is that the title is pushing the limits of what I would expect from any piece of media, movie or otherwise. I’m going to call it Pieces of the Past for the sake of clarity, but it’s an absurd name. You have to know so much pop culture to not be confused by that cascade of nouns.
The Lazarus Project Is Absolutely Incredible
The Lazarus Paradox looked like it was going to be exactly my favorite type of show.
StuGo: An Absurd Cartoon
I don’t have that much to say about StuGo. Some cartoons are made with an adult audience as possible viewers, weaving in more intense plots for fandoms to form. You know them by name, if not by experience. Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Owl House. Gravity Falls. This show is not that, at least not within the first three episodes.
The Fantastic 4: First Steps Is A Pleasant Surprise
The Fantastic 4: First Steps is a weird movie for anyone who isn’t already knowledgeable of the MCU. The creators just assume you know how this franchise’s alternative universes work, for one thing. And while I can appreciate not bothering with another origin story plotline, explaining how the four of them got their powers with a quick montage is also a strange choice.
Trailer Review: Hoppers
From this trailer, Hoppers appears to have two premises, two plotlines, and I don’t really know how to feel about the second one.
