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.

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 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.
Pluribus: The Best Sci-Fi Concept In Years
Pluribus is a fascinating science fiction show with one of the most intriguing premises I’ve seen in years. For those that love the genre’s propensity for posing interesting, mind-expanding questions, this is it.
Best Avatar: The Last Airbender Cards (Multicolor & Colorless & Lands)
Hello, and welcome to the massive—and final—Avatar: The Last Airbender card review. We’ll be finishing up the list today by going over so many of the multicolor cards, and a few other standouts. If you haven’t already, go back and find our lists for white and blue, red and black, and green to see what other cards are my picks for the best in the set. If you have read all of those already, well, thank you! I hope you agree with my final picks.
Best Avatar: The Last Airbender Cards (Green)
The amount of good Avatar: The Last Airbender cards left me in a little bit of a bind. I wasn’t sure how to arrange the lists so that they would feel like each article covered a good amount of cards. But the multicolor list turned out to be huge—so huge that combining green with it would be too big an article.
Thankfully, a solution presented itself. That solution being the green cards themselves.
Best Avatar: The Last Airbender Cards (Black & Red)
It’s always fun for me when I review a set, partially because, over time, I start to see intended interactions. How, at least in a closed environment, these cards are supposed to function. And the Avatar: The Last Airbender set is a great lesson in how deep and complex that process can be. Though there are too many variables with the standard card pool included to be sure, I’m already thinking of decks and combos that might show up in competitive play.
