Many films, like The Karate Kid, feature a climactic martial arts tournament where the hero demonstrates everything they’ve learned. However, some movies make the competition the central focus, showing multiple rounds and highlighting the different fighters, while also developing a separate storyline outside of the arena.
The series Rivals takes place in 1986 and centers on the intense rivalry between politician Rupert Campbell-Black and television executive Tony Baddingham, who both work at the independent broadcaster, Corinium Television. As their conflict grows, Tony brings in a new producer and convinces popular BBC broadcaster Declan O’Hara to join his team.
Despite being remembered as a major cinematic failure, especially with the low ratings of later films, the original story of the Divergent series is actually very strong. The flawed way the studio made the films hid a genuinely exciting thriller that deserves to be appreciated.

As a big fan of shows about the supernatural, I was bummed to hear the Buffy reboot isn’t happening on Hulu. That really leaves Supernatural as the king of the genre, and honestly, I’m expecting more episodes eventually. It’s a tough line to walk, though – dealing with demons and ghosts can easily feel cheesy, but you need to take the scares seriously for the story to matter. Shows like Supernatural and Buffy were so good because they mastered that balance – they knew how to be fun and silly while still making you care about what happened to the characters.
The latest issue of Captain America (#11, from creators Chip Zdarsky, Valerio Schiti, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Joe Caramagna) sees Steve Rogers and his team racing to save a young clone of Doctor Doom. Their rescue mission hits a snag when General Thunderbolt Ross and his forces unexpectedly arrive. Despite the interruption, Captain America manages to save the boy, though his bravery leads to a shocking turn of events – Steve Rogers finds himself in Hell.
Netflix has become the leading platform for excellent anthology series. They famously rescued Black Mirror from Channel 4, transforming it into a worldwide hit.
