- CreatorAlex HirschStarsJason RitterAlex HirschKristen SchaalTwin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines spend the summer at their great-uncle's tourist trap in the enigmatic Gravity Falls, Oregon.Must-Watch
- StarsHailee SteinfeldKevin AlejandroJason SpisakSet in Utopian Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League Of Legends champions and the power that will tear them apart.Must-Watch / A high-quality, cinematic experience with a visually-striking style and amazing moments. Although the pacing can feel rough and the show juggles more characters than it should, Arcane stands as one of the most confident and imaginative video game adaptations of all time.
- CreatorMichael Dante DiMartinoBryan KonietzkoStarsDee Bradley BakerZach Tyler EisenMae WhitmanIn a war-torn world of elemental powers, a young boy reawakens to undertake a dangerous mystic quest to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar, and bring peace to the world.Must-Watch
- CreatorRobert KirkmanRyan OttleyCory WalkerStarsSteven YeunJ.K. SimmonsSandra OhAn adult animated series based on the Skybound/Image comic about a teenager whose father is the most powerful superhero on the planet.Recommend / A realistic, if not satirical, depiction of what having a modern society with superheroes would feel like. Presenting both brutal conflicts along with morally gray predicaments, Invincible has a few rough corners when it comes to animation and writing, but remains an engaging journey that gradually ramps up its intensity towards its bloody climax.
- DirectorHaylee HerrickStarsSteven YeunSandra OhJ.K. SimmonsIn this special prequel episode, Samantha 'Atom Eve' Wilkins discovers her superpowers as a young girl - and must come to terms with her own sinister origins as she discovers a family she never knew she had.Recommend
- CreatorConan O'BrienStarsConan O'BrienAndy RichterJimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable BandConan O'Brien and his co-host Andy Richter discuss current news topics and interview celebrities and personalities.Recommend / Besides the late-night segments with celebrities, Conan's "Remotes" and absurd skits take the spotlight and are pieces of timeless comedy. One of the very few late-night hosts where his staff are sometimes more entertaining than his interview guests, his outreach extends beyond the American audience and into fans from around the world, and his early embrace of the internet culture as we know it.

- CreatorDuncan RouleauSteven T. SeagleJoe KellyStarsDeven Christian MackAshleigh BallVincent TongSonic in a high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse rests in his gloved hands.Recommend
(Season 1) An action-orientated cartoon showcasing excellent animation, cinematography, and voice work. Despite its genuinely intriguing storyline (at least unexplored within the Sonic franchise), the show suffers from many hit-or-miss comedy bits, uninspired environments, and an abrupt, jumpy approach to its narrative. Though the show is slowly ramping up to something special, the first season ends up being a series of character studies; unfortunately, the show’s circumstances prevent any real sense of development for these legacy characters beside Sonic, resulting in most episode scenarios feeling unfulfilling. Sonic Prime seems to reside within the realm of children cartoon shows, though it’s worth a watch for long-time Sonic fans.
(Season 2) A more coherent scramble between Sonic and the multitude of forces against him, elaborating on the star players from the first season while heightening focus on the overarching storyline at hand. This focus lends to greater stakes and a more dire tone, without losing the spirit of the series—both good and bad. While the show’s action sequences continue to be fresh and exciting, the comedic writing has begun to overrun its course. Even though the themes of the show are mostly buried by spectacle, this season has proven itself to be more personal this time around, making me hopeful for how the final season taps into the show’s emotional core. - StarsMichael CeraMary Elizabeth WinsteadSatya BhabhaScott Pilgrim meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers, only to find out her seven evil exes stand in the way of their love.Take A Chance / When the creators said not to expect a 1:1 adaptation, I didn’t realize how many changes they had in store. Unless you’re looking for some cool animation sequences or visuals, this feels mostly reserved (and rewarding) for longtime fans of the series, especially the original comics
