Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai (May 23, Max)
As reviewed by Ava Pener-Bushard, 9, Daughter of Degen Pener, THR Deputy Editor
Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai
I have never seen the Gremlins movie, but I know that gremlins smell bad and want to eat us. Just watching five minutes of Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, I think it is already a really good TV show.
The show is 25 percent happy, 25 percent sad, 25 percent funny, and 25 percent disgusting. The disgusting parts are when fingers come off. It’s about a kid, Sam (Izaac Wang), who says, “I have no faith in myself. I can’t do it.” He has to hide this gremlin named Gizmo, who is so cute, and return it to its home. He finds this girl, Elle (Gabrielle Nevaeh Green), and they go on a big adventure to find its home. He’s kind of like a goody-two-shoes and the...

The following article contains spoilers for "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania."
"Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania" has been out for a few days now. We've had some time to digest the adventures of the buggy superheroes in the Quantum Realm and draw some parallels to other Marvel Cinematic Universe adventures. In the film, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) are sucked into the world beneath ours. While there, they meet a band of refugees who are fighting against the despotic ruler of the place, Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors). They band together to take him out, setting Scott (and the rest of the multiverse) on the path to their next chapter.
"Quantumania" has a whole lot in common with another uprising film in the MCU — "Thor: Ragnarok." Whatever you felt about both titles,...

Detective Inspector Lou Slack (Leila Farzad) is a smart, hard-drinking, cigarette-smoking, highly effective police officer in the West Yorkshire force. She’s also a bent copper. But a bent copper who we desperately want to believe is also a “nice” bent copper. Redemption, after all, usually makes for great drama. And a dash of corruption in the lead character in a police show makes an intriguing change. Unlike in Line of Duty, here the high-ranking corrupt police officer is the investigator, not the investigated, the antihero who is also the hero. And unlike Catherine Cawood in Happy Valley – a hard act to follow – she’s wealthy and content with her life, complicated and compromised as it is. We want to know what Lou did that got her so entangled with the wrong side, and how she’s going to survive it as her web of deceit goes wrong. It’s...

I am decades away from the target audience for the just-released Krypto the Superdog: the Complete Series. Ever since the Canine of Steel arrived in 1955, he has been a popular supporting player, and with all-things super-heroic now part of the pop culture zeitgeist, it made perfect sense to give him a series for the younger side of the television demographic.
All 39 episodes of the 2005 series are presented here, adapted by producer Chris Mitchell. Joining Krypto (voiced by Sam Vincent) on his crimefighting adventures are Streaky (Brian Drummond), Supergirl’s pet cat, and Ace the Bathound (Scott McNeil). They even created Stretch-o-Mutt (Lee Tockar) to round things out. And if there are going to be animal heroes, there have to be animal villains, who happen to include the pets of Lex Luthor (Brian Dobson) and Catwoman. When things look dire, they can count on help from the Dog Star Patrol.

AMC and Channel 4’s sci-fi series “Humans” has been canceled after three seasons, an AMC spokesperson has confirmed to TheWrap.
Executive producers and writers Jonathan Brackley and Sam Vincent shared the news via Twitter on Monday.
“Sadly there won’t be a 4th season of ‘Humans.’ In this age of unprecedented choice and competition, we can have no complaints. Channel 4 & AMC were the perfect partners. They supported the show brilliantly and above all — let us make three seasons!” the pair wrote in a joint statement tweeted from Vincent’s account. “We know we left some threads hanging. That was the way we always wrote the show. Maybe one day we’ll get a chance to pick them back up. If there’s anyone out there with a few million quid and an interest in AI stories, we’re all ears.”

Has your head stopped spinning yet? Have you picked your jaw up from the floor? Have you slid back so that you're no longer on the edge of your seat?
Shooter Season 3 Episode 8 felt like the culmination of everything we've been waiting for this season. It felt like a penultimate finale, but it's not. That means we have more installments remaining, and the prospect of seeing where else this series will go is exciting.
It was evident the narrative would focus more on the Bamas and Swaggers on a personal front rather than the ongoing Swagger Squad goodness.
The Swagger Squad and the decryption card business took a backseat, and that could have easily been disappointing only because the team element has been such a highlight. However, this hour had Everything and was one of the best of the season thus far!

Humans, the Gemma Chan-fronted sci-fi drama for AMC and UK’s Channel 4, is coming back for a third season and this time the robots are controlled by a predominantly female team.
Emma Kingsman-Lloyd has joined the Kudos-produced series as exec producer and Vicki Delow joins as producer. Jill Roberston, who previously directed series including Hulu’s Harlots, has come on board as lead director along with a multitude of female crew.
Kingsman-Lloyd, who has previously worked on shows such as Grantchester and Flowers, said it gave the latest season of the show, created by Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley, a different tone and a different feeling on set. “It was interesting coming in to a show that had been predominantly run by a male exec, male series producer and male producer.
