Kelly Thompson’s Absolute Wonder Woman is offering fresh perspectives on Wonder Woman’s well-known adversaries, even presenting one as more of a friend than a foe. The story is also subtly building future plotlines, featuring one enemy who has only appeared as a normal human so far. Among the most unexpected additions is a notably unpleasant character who debuted during comics’ Golden Age, and another whose destiny could be linked to a key Justice League member.

Netflix is currently experiencing a peak period for documentaries. In the last five years, the streaming platform has provided viewers with excellent documentaries about disasters. Here are 11 of the very best, guaranteed to keep you watching until the credits roll.

I remember being so excited when Netflix brought back Gilmore Girls in 2016 for a four-part revival! But honestly, as a fan, I – along with a lot of others – was really disappointed by those last four words. Some of us are *still* upset about being left hanging and actually try to ignore that final scene! Even now, years later, Variety reports that Graham says she’s still puzzled by how people reacted – the mixed reviews really confused her.

Actually, Tarantino greatly adores the film. When talking about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the well-known director praised it as “one of the very few flawless movies ever created.” Given the themes and style of both Tarantino’s and Hooper’s films, it’s easy to understand why he feels that way.

Voyager viewers probably remember the episode where Tuvok (Tim Russ) and Neelix (Ethan Phillips) go to a planet to gather plant samples. When they beam back onto the U.S.S. Voyager, they unexpectedly combine at a molecular level because of the plant they brought with them.

Many beloved anime characters, like Goku and Jiraiya, would likely be draining or even frightening if they were around us every day. A lot of them have very unusual personalities, and their over-the-top behavior would probably bother people in everyday life. Some are self-centered, others are controlling, and a few are simply dangerous. While we enjoy watching them on screen, it would be wise to keep our distance from them in the real world.

An official Attack on Titan mode is coming to the popular game Roblox. This is a direct result of many fans already creating their own versions of the experience. A demo of the mode was recently showcased at a large gaming convention, and it’s being developed by a team with a history of award-winning work. So, even though the original Attack on Titan story has finished, fans can now look forward to even more fun!

As a film enthusiast, I’ve always considered The Battle of Algiers a masterpiece, and a key example of the Italian neorealism movement. What really struck me is how the filmmakers used mostly non-professional actors – people who actually lived through the Algerian War – and shot it in a stark, black-and-white style. It feels incredibly authentic and documentary-like. It’s no surprise that directors I admire, like Stanley Kubrick, George Miller, and Christopher Nolan, have all mentioned it as a huge influence. Many consider it one of the best films ever made, and thankfully, it’s easily accessible – you can stream it on HBO Max.

That title still goes to the iconic Season One finale, “The We We Are.” That episode was truly exceptional, unlike most things you see on TV. It was a unique experience – a raw, uninterrupted, 40-minute burst of intense panic cleverly presented as a show. It was a groundbreaking experiment in building tension in real-time, and it remains one of the most clever and unsettling episodes ever made. It didn’t simply end with a cliffhanger; it redefined the very feeling of one.
