War of the Worlds season 3 ended on a strong note, paying off its themes and offering hope in a bleak future. The season introduced new sci-fi concepts and added more science to the science fiction, resulting in a culmination of heady themes. The finale explored the inevitability of fate and the acceptance of death, as characters made selfless sacrifices and faced the consequences.
War of the Worlds season 3 ended on a strong note by paying off its heady themes and giving viewers a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak future. Premiering in 2019, the Epix original series follows survivors on Earth after an alien attack wipes out most of the human life on the planet. Loosely based on H.G. Wells' seminal science fiction novel, the series was unafraid to deviate from classic conventions and opt for new interpretations of the well-trod tale. Wells' books served as the framework,...

Warning: this War of the Worlds review contains spoilers.
Careful what you wish for. In its first season, War of the Worlds came under fire for its deliberately meditative pace. It was just too sparse for some. They found the journeys too slow and the revelations too few and far between. Season two appears to have addressed that complaint by turning up the dial. Episode one upended a barrel of plot all over viewers’ heads, and episode two has done the same, leaving us swimming in the stuff.
This week, there were name-character deaths, an armed attack, a big family reunion, a pregnancy, two break-ups, two assassination attempts and a sibling murder around which a conspiracy was formed. No sooner had one event happened than the next came along. There was no chance of getting bored, but also little time left for reflection.
In the rush to set up the characters in their new configuration,...

A comedy-drama based on the true story of the plucky underdog defying expectations at the 1988 Winter Olympics under the tutelage of a cranky yet caring American coach who’s turned their back on the sport that made them a star? Yep, Cool Runnings is a classic, no doubt about it ,and it can now finally have an Calgary ’88 double bill with Eddie the Eagle, which tells the story of an even more unlikely athletic hero.
I didn’t know a lot about Eddie the Eagle, other than that he was a ski jumper. As I understand it, this biopic runs a little fast and loose with the facts and the end result is about...
