50 critics: She Hulk
What started off as a show with so much potential ended up being the Worse Marvel work since “Captain Marvel”. It may have meant well, but She Hulk falls flat with its constant whining from its main character who is the complete opposite of who she is supposed to be.

X-Men: The Animated Series
Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.

Marvel Multiverse Saga so far
As a friendly reminder, we're currently in the Mulitverse Saga of the MCU. I loved the Infinity Saga from start to finish. Very few blemishes. However, so far the multiverse saga has been immensely disappointing. A pitiful ratio of good/bad projects and horrible CGI. I really hope this changes soon.

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Larry David sets his misanthropic muse free in an ingenious, incendiary way in this show. He blends wild improvisation with the careful construction of ethical conundrums to make us laugh first at him and his extraordinary and variegated supporting cast and then at ourselves. Satirical spite sustains this program's power.

Seinfeld
The moral logic of this show about nothing is perfect, which explains why so many found the finale frustrating. In an absurd world where greed, lust and unbridled enthusiasm guide four silly friends through myriad misadventures that blend Jerry’s Socratic sarcasm with Larry David’s smirking misanthropy, laughing justice ultimately rules.

50 Critics: Dear Mama
Dear Mama is a heartfelt love letter to the legacy created by Hip Hop icon Tupac Shakur and his charismatic mother, Afeni. The icing on the cake is that Allen Hughes directed, so it’s an amazing tribute from a friend who knew Tupac from the very beginning of his career.

The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History
A cinematic biography about Sonichu creator, Chris-Chan with 78 episodes and counting. A true horror story of a bullied boy who succumbs into a monster. Those with morbid curiosity know it’s a car crash on loop. Currently known as Christine, her deranged relationship with her mother will give you shivers.

Peaky Blinders
In the bleak midwinter, amongst horse manure and backhanded business deals, lies the lawless town of Small Heath, Birmingham. Thomas Shelby and his gang of razorblade-wielding peaked-cap-wearing gentlemen, take on all manner of dastardly deeds as he strives to climb the political ladder; proving to be a compelling watch.

The Sopranos
The Sopranos gives us a taste into the underworld of Gangsters and Goomahs. For six seasons we can live amongst the criminal elite and learn the ways of a Mafia Boss, his Consigliere, and his Captains; as Tony, Silvio, Paulie, and Christopher take us on a ride of a lifetime.
