While some have fallen short, there are lesser-known gems from the 2000s worth revisiting, especially now that they are available for streaming on Prime.
What Is This Show About?
One such gem is The Dead Zone, a TV series that aired on the USA Network for six seasons before its cancellation in 2007 due to the Writers Guild of America strike.
Loosely based on Stephen King's 1979 novel, the series centers on Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall), who awakens from a six-year coma with a unique ability: any contact with objects or people triggers visions of the past or future. This phenomenon is believed to be the activation of a previously unused part of his brain, the "dead zone," compensating for the damaged areas.
Johnny uses his newfound abilities to assist local authorities in solving cold cases while grappling with apocalyptic visions involving politician Greg Stillson (Sean Patrick Flanery). The series also features Nicole de Boer,...

Wcth Season 10 ended with a broken engagement and a cliffhanger. Hearties expected a big Hope Valley wedding with Lucas Bouchard (Chris McNally) and Elizabeth Thornton making it official.

Now that When Calls The Heart is returning for Season 11, will Lucas try to win back Elizabeth? Chris McNally reveals whether his character will try to woo his ex-fiancée.

I’ve gotten out of the habit of reading individual comics issues – because I first got out of the habit of buying them. There were a lot of factors there, but an already-ebbing stream turned to nothing after the 2011 flood destroyed all of my existing floppies. Since then, if it’s not in book form, I basically don’t read it.
But my library app – Hoopla , another silly name because everything Internetty is required to have a silly name – includes individual issues, all mixed in their general “Comics” section in a way that sometimes makes it hard to tell if something is a book or a floppy. So I now can read floppy comics, at least some of them, about as regularly as I want.
I still haven’t really done it much.
But I did read the big collection of Fungirl comics by Elizabeth Pich recently, and noticed there...

This post contains spoilers for "True Detective: Night Country."
"True Detective: Night Country" is starting to look more and more like a horror show. Two episodes into the season's six-part run, things in Ennis, Alaska just keep getting stranger. The severed tongue of Indigenous activist Anne appeared on a research facility's floor six years after she died. The scientists at said research facility (who remind us a lot of horror classic "The Thing") ended up dead in the snow, naked and frozen with ruptured eardrums and scratched-out eyes. At least two characters have heard a voice whisper "She's awake" in their minds, and a little girl is drawing pictures of a local folk figure — a woman in the snow with bloody, dripping hands. On top of all that, the ghost of Rust Cohle's dad may or may not be out in the wilderness, possibly worshipping the sky.

It doesn’t feel like hyperbole or even a matter of opinion to call “The Rehearsal” one of the most original, off-the-wall shows to debut in years. The proof lies in how difficult it can be to describe: it has elements of a reality show, but not a single variable is left to chance; it’s darkly funny, but also deeply sad; and, five episodes in, it remains unclear whether the audience is in on the joke, or if we’re the butt of it.
If you’re not caught up, “The Rehearsal” is the second series from “Nathan For You” creator/director/star Nathan Fielder. The HBO series is built around a deceptively simple premise: Fielder wants to help people (who responded to his ominous Craigslist ad) prepare for important moments by rehearsing them to perfection. He does this by measures of escalating absurdity – constructing a full-size model of...

Warner Bros. has officially, successfully rebooted the Batman franchise with “The Batman,” which has earned glowing notices from audiences and critics alike and is dominating the box office. And while it will surely be some time before a sequel is ready to go before cameras let alone unleashed on the public, there are plenty of films that influenced “The Batman” that should whet audiences’ appetites – and may expand their cinematic horizons in the process.
Co-writer and director Matt Reeves has made no secret of the fact that several films influenced his dark, “urban noir” take on the Caped Crusader for “The Batman.”
Below, we’ve rounded up a handful of films that served as touchstones for the new Batman film that are well worth seeking out to enjoy more of what made “The Batman” so special. Whether you were thrilled by the detective angle of the film, the hard-boiled noir...

The exhibition More Than That: Films by Kevin Jerome Everson opens today at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and will be on view through September 18. Artforum is rerunning Ed Halter's piece on Everson from its May 2010 issue for the occasion: "For more than a decade, working in numerous film and video formats, Everson has presented images of the lives of African Americans — and other people of African heritage, worldwide — through his own distinctive practice of cinematic portraiture, a blend of fiction and documentary that analyzes minute aspects of individual personality by homing in on everyday gestures of labor and leisure. Whether shot from real life, rediscovered in archival images, or performed according to Everson's direction, these gestures subsist as parallels and cognates for artmaking. His films suggest not records of reality but, rather, recordings of performance."
