While Boston Blue doesn’t explicitly state how much time has passed since the Blue Bloods finale, it’s clear a significant amount of time has gone by. A key development in Blue Bloods was Danny and Baez becoming a couple, and they are still together in Boston Blue, with Marisa Ramirez already appearing in a few episodes. According to co-showrunner Brandon Margolis, this relationship suggests the time jump isn’t as large as some viewers might expect.

I’ve been checking out the new MGEX 1/100 Strike Freedom Gundam kits, and they’re really impressive updates to a classic mobile suit. There are two versions coming out as part of the Master Grade Extreme line: one is a bright, clean white, and the other is a cool, darker dusky black – that one was originally only available for a limited time. Bandai is planning special release windows for these kits, so fans can collect all the different color variations of the Strike Freedom Gundam.

What makes Fallout so popular is its blend of exciting action and surprisingly heartfelt stories about its characters. The performances of Walton Goggins as The Ghoul and Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean especially added warmth and humor to a harsh world filled with danger, shady corporations, and difficult choices. With the second season coming out soon, it’s a great time to revisit Fallout.

Reuters reports that Comcast, which owns Universal Pictures, is considering a bid for Warner Bros. While another big merger in Hollywood could hurt consumers, one area that would become particularly noteworthy is theme parks. This potential deal also has an interesting angle related to superhero franchises.

As a total reality TV junkie, I can’t believe Netflix has already put out nine seasons of that show! Look, it’s definitely got its problems – the whole premise is kinda wild, right? – but I’m still totally invested in watching the drama unfold as these couples decide to get engaged before they even really get to know each other. It’s a train wreck you can’t look away from!

Tom Cruise’s commitment to the theatrical experience proved successful when Top Gun: Maverick became the biggest hit of the summer in 2022, earning over $1.4 billion globally. He’s become a strong advocate for movie theaters—often saying, “we’ll see you at the movies”—and is now considered their biggest champion, with Christopher Nolan as a possible rival for that title.

This list celebrates TV shows that immediately captivated audiences from beginning to end. Whether it’s a thrilling, unconventional story or a drama focused on compelling characters, these shows nail their first seasons. They create an atmosphere, build momentum, and establish emotional connections that stay with you long after you finish watching. Here are 10 shows where the first season is truly exceptional.

For seven seasons, Gilmore Girls charmingly portrays the lives of Lorelai and Rory as they navigate life’s challenges, always supporting each other. It’s an ideal show to watch when you need a little comfort (despite a few frustrating plot points!), but there are other equally cozy and enjoyable series out there worth checking out.

Since its release on Netflix on November 6th, Death by Lightning has quickly become popular, currently ranking as the second most-watched show in the United States. It’s just behind the comedy special Leanne Morgan Unspeakable Things, but is performing better than shows like Nobody Wants This (season 2), Squid Game: The Challenge (season 2), and Selling Sunset.

Marvel Studios often signs actors to multi-picture deals and also arranges for them to appear in projects beyond their initial contracts – Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson are prime examples. So far, Simu Liu has only played Shang-Chi in the 2021 film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and in one episode of the animated series What If…? I believe there are many more stories to explore with his character, the Mandarin’s son, and I’m pleased to hear about Liu’s positive experience working with Marvel.
