Full spoilers of Season 3 of The Diplomat, now streaming on Netflix, ahead. The highest praise I can give the new season of The Diplomat – Netflix’s gripping, propulsive, and often hilarious political thriller starring Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell – is that that it blends the ingredients of the best political TV shows of the past 25 years (The …

Guillermo del Toro has been thinking about Mary Shelley’s novel for a lifetime. He has described Frankenstein as “the quintessential teenage book,” and his famous Bleak House in Los Angeles is filled with versions of the creature from various film and stage adaptations. Naturally, the director has also imagined turning it into a movie himself. “I dream I can make …

While some young Roald Dahl fans, like me, preferred the cozy creepiness of The Witches or the weird whimsy of James and the Giant Peach, other readers were decidedly Twits kids.

Aubrey Plaza played the new girl in SNL’s send-up of Netflix’s hit drama The Hunting Wives, which the late-night show described as a “straight but lesbian, horny Republican murder drama.” Amy Poehler assumed the role of Malin Akerman’s Margo by flashing her tatas to Chloe Fineman, who took over as Brittany Snow’s Sophie.

“Becoming a man? What does that actually mean?” That’s the question posed at the start of Boots, Netflix’s new queer coming-of-age series set in a Marine Corps training program, but also one essentially posed by our new so-called Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just last week. Yet while Hegseth, onstage before the nation’s top military brass, tried to answer the …

The company just outlined a quintet of multiplayer games that will be available to subscribers some time this holiday season. According to Netflix, to play you need to choose a game from a new tab and then connect your phone to use it as a …

For the last several years Netflix has been quietly banking episodes of a new show called Famous Last Words, interviews with famous people entering their twilight years. The catch is that episodes will only air after the subject passes away. The full list of interviewees is a closely guarded secret, but last week Netflix quietly posted the premiere episode featuring …

The third installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monster” anthology series, “Monster: The Ed Gein Story,” is a baffling, graphic and endless retelling of the life and crimes of one of America’s most notorious serial killers. The show follows Ed Gein (Charlie Hunnam), an unassuming and odd man, working his family’s farm under the watchful eye of his hateful …
