The Walking Dead might be one of the most popular post-apocalyptic shows, but these six series in the same genre exceed the zombie show in writing, character development, and entertainment value. Based on an indie comic book, The Walking Dead blew all expectations out of the water, becoming an absolute phenomenon. The initial series lasted 11 seasons, and AMC+ has created multiple spinoffs of The Walking Dead. The praise isn't entirely unwarranted, but it feels a little bit overhyped.

Although it will be a while before Daniel Craig’s James Bond franchise replacement is announced, the best substitute for the iconic spy series returns to the small screen this week. It is a great time to be a fan of spy stories, although you wouldn’t necessarily know this by looking at the most famous franchise in the espionage genre. There hasn’t been a new James Bond movie since 2021’s No Time to Die, which infamously made the unprecedented move of killing off Daniel Craig’s version of 007.

In 2027, Star Wars is going to switch casts for the first time in over a decade thanks to an upcoming movie. Though the Star Wars galaxy is huge and there are thousands of characters living in it, the Star Wars movies typically follow the same small group of people. The original trilogy followed Luke, Han, Leia, and Lando, the prequels followed Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padmé, and the sequels followed Rey, Finn, and Poe.

The book from which Adrian Chiarella's Leviticus gets its title from is a not-so-subtle reference to what the first-time director is going for. There have been plenty of horror movies about conversion therapy, but none like this one. Though it is at times terrifying, capturing the isolation of the queer experience with bone-deep emotion, the first-time director's new film is a surprisingly tender look at the shapes love and demons can take.

James Bond is back on top to start a new era, and Netflix happens to be where that is happening. When looking at the best spy movie franchises of all time, it is impossible not to rush directly to Bond. After all, the spy is fiction's most famous. Sure, there have been other exciting espionage franchises on the big screen over the years.

An expert has validated a small but key detail in Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro's crime classic.

The Punisher's first interaction with the Hulk in their crossover with Spider-Man is ripped right out of a horror movie, as the Green Goliath threatens Frank Castle. Besides the twenty-seven major characters returning in Avengers: Doomsday, the return of Tom Holland's Peter Parker, Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner, and Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is one of the most anticipated cinematic events of 2026. While they're three of the MCU's most popular heroes, none of them had

Although Star Wars Outlaws didn't sell as well as Ubisoft hoped, it still spawned a loyal fanbase, and over time, the game was updated to address some of its technical issues near launch. It also hasn't stopped the Star Wars machine from cranking out a prequel book, which fans are really taking to.

Audiences have become all too familiar with streaming service romcoms that follow predictable beats, do what's expected of them (or maybe a little less), and then fade into the background, rarely to be remembered—that's not Voicemails for Isabelle. Netflix's newest moviehits the streamer on June 19, giving it the unfortunate obstacle of competing with Disney's sequel Toy Story 5, which seems destined to be a smash hit at the box office. However, Voicemails for Isabelle deserves its time to shine

Prime Video has an array of outstanding book adaptations, but few of them can boast a cast list half as good as a 2023 musical period drama based on the career of Fleetwood Mac. Riley Keough and Sam Claflin get top billing in this affectionately rendered miniseries, but it also features a whole host of excellent supporting performances.

Game of Thrones is undoubtedly one of the more popular creations in modern fantasy, and George RR Martin's work continues to draw in millions of fans the world over. Though the next book is seemingly never going to come out, there's still plenty of releases tied to the franchise that keeps it going in the minds of fans.

Trying to get a consensus on Steven Spielberg's greatest movie is basically impossible. The genius filmmaker has been amazing audiences for half a century, and each generation is likely to have its own choice. Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark will surely get a lot of votes, as will Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, and, in some circles that defy logic, Hook. But the one movie that every generation holds dear — the movie that may be many people's first Spielberg — is E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.

Attention to character writing can give viewers the best TV shows ever made, while neglecting certain characters' potential can turn a great show into one that never quite lands. An unexpectedly perfect character can change the trajectory of an entire series, with some making such an impact that their roles have been rewritten. For example, it is impossible to imagine True Blood without the iconic Lafayette.

Jason Momoa's DC Universe changes for Lobo prove the actor was the right choice for the superhero franchise's version of the comic antihero.

From the beginning, Victor's history in the Township has been well-established and understood among the rest of From's characters. Sympathetic to what he's been through, everyone accepts his social struggles, stressors, and unique relationship to the Township. When Victor measured the mysterious trees, Henry helped him, understanding its importance to Victor even if he didn't get it himself.

Superman is back on DC's new release and the Man of Steel dons a new costume that not only makes sense for the 2026 project, but looks incredible. Superman's suits are always a major topic of discussion. Clark Kent has worn many over the years, with each live-action Superman actor and animated Superman series coming up with their own iconic costume.

Nearly two decades after it first premiered, Avatar: The Last Airbender remains one of the most beloved animated series ever made.

One of the biggest and most lastingly famous animated trilogies of all time is leaving Netflix at the start of next month, giving audiences limited time to enjoy the movies on the platform before they exit it. Netflix's movie roster has a wide assortment of animated releases on it, with this category being one that's seen some major successes over the years that establish it as one of the streaming service's most important.

One of the best crime thrillers of the century brilliantly combines Bosch's procedural drama with traces of Lovecraftian horror. Most crime thrillers stay grounded in realism where they walk through the day-to-day crime-solving endeavors of their central detective characters. Prime Video's Bosch, too, draws from Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch books and delivers a by-the-books crime thriller.
