Amazon Just Quietly Released The Best Fantasy Adaptation Of The Year

But if you don't have time for the hundreds of four-hour-plus episodes, there's now an alternative: Prime Video's animated adaptations, which began with an adaptation of the first campaign, The Legend of Vox Machina, back in 2022. The latest series, The Mighty Nein, is the greatest Critical Role work yet, if only because it plays around with the familiar story to create something even better than what was at the table.

Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: Dead Weight

After a few seasons of mostly interpersonal drama, both in the spinoff series and the flagship, Mediterranean is delivering vintage mess: People clashing over their jobs.

Oliver Stark says Buck's bisexuality will be explored more in 9-1-1 season nine

I do think there's been some ignorance around people thinking that Buck is now a gay man, because since his coming out we've seen him with Tommy, and that's it. And not that he has to now go run off and be with a woman just to balance that out or anything. But there just needs to be conversations to help educate an audience. Not in a heavy way, not in a beating anybody over the head with it, but to delve deeper into it.
