Being home for a new, fresh take on the legacy of one of the most iconic children’s shows of the 21st century is no small feat, but Colombia was ready to take on the challenge when it came to Paramount+’s “Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado.”

Shot in Colombia over 53 days between July and September of last year, with production services provided by leading local company Tis Studios, Alberto Belli’s “Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado” employed 401 Colombians as part of the crew. The film also had Colombian actors as key members of the cast, including Maria Cecilia Botero as Abuela, Oscar Rodriguez as Tio Nico, Valentina Acosta as Maria Elena and George Slebi as Papa Cole.

Created in 2000 by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Eric Weiner — and produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio — “Dora the Explorer” famously broke the fourth wall to include children...

The Seal Team Series Finale is upon us.

Seal Team Season 7 Episode 10 offered us a surprisingly feel-good ending, which was a far cry from what many of us imagined as the season progressed.

All large arcs were wrapped up, and if there were any smaller arcs that needed attention, there was a good reason for that.

My interview with showrunner Spencer Hudnut was published in conjunction with this review. In it, he revealed that for nine episodes, they were under the impression that the series would continue.

That answers a lot about the final season and even lends credence to many of our theories.

He said they had 30 pages of script to wind down the overarching season arcs and the entire series.

That’s an extraordinarily heavy lift, but the Seal Team series finale did an amazing job considering that shocking and sad reality.

After seven strong seasons of storytelling, we’re saying goodbye to Seal Team.

Seal Team has reminded us of the casualties of war, not just in battle, but by watching characters struggle to find a balance between the ugly side of their profession and a home life they desperately crave.

Seal Team Season 7 drove that point home with a final season that found Jason Hayes, Ray Perry, Sonny Quinn, and Lisa Perry considering what’s next.

What a ride.

Yes. Hard to believe that we’re at the end here.

It’s kind of painful.

I know; it is painful. I can feel the viewers’ pain, and I can sense it among the cast. We’re all reaching out,...

We’ve reached the end. Paramount+’s Seal Team season seven episode nine ended with Nazario in custody and Jason and Drew off on a separate mission to kill Curtis. Episode 10, “The Last Word,” will bring the team back together and finish up storylines for characters fans have come to love.

The seventh and final season stars David Boreanaz as Jason Hayes, Neil Brown Jr. as Ray Perry, A.J. Buckley as Sonny Quinn, Toni Trucks as Lieutenant Lisa Davis, Raffi Barsoumian as Omar Hamza, and Beau Knapp as Drew Franklin.

“The Last Word” Plot: Does war always have the last word? Jason wrestles with guilt, Ray faces his demons, and Davis and Sonny’s fate is decided by the Decker investigation.

And here we are. Seal Team Season 7 Episode 9 is the penultimate hour, setting up everything for the series’s swan song. Did it do the work?

I think so.

It’s not easy to say goodbye to a team as close as Bravo. Looking back at the series as a whole, the Bravo team has been and remains the main attraction. They feel like family.

But this family is coming to an end, at least in its current incarnation. What comes next will exclude us, so everything is riding on the Seal Team finale.

Please note that I have seen the finale, so this review will be a little different. I’m not going to speculate, as I don’t want to give anything away. That’s the last thing I would want for those of us who have spent so much time with Bravo.

Jason added to his body count and Bravo discovered they have a traitor in their midst on Paramount+’s Seal Team season seven episode eight. Episode nine will find the team reeling from that discovery. “The Sea and the Hills” is set to stream on Sunday, September 29, 2024.

Season seven stars David Boreanaz as Jason Hayes, Neil Brown Jr. as Ray Perry, A.J. Buckley as Sonny Quinn, Toni Trucks as Lieutenant Lisa Davis, Raffi Barsoumian as Omar Hamza, and Beau Knapp as Drew Franklin.

We’re two episodes out from the series finale, and things are finally beginning to take shape.

Jason was out for blood on Seal Team Season 7 Episode 8, which gave Ray even greater pause about his looming retirement.

“Appetite for Destruction” is an intense hour that still finds time for the team’s softer side and goes to great lengths to mold the future.

The latest op provides an opportunity for Lisa to join Bravo in the field and gives Drew his first taste of Bravo at its best.

Drew has only heard tales about Bravo and Jason Hayes. Sure, he’s been a (reluctant) part of the team all season, but Jason hasn’t been himself. For this episode, at least, he’s even more than himself.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen genuine camaraderie during an op. This time,...

The countdown to the end of Paramount+’s Seal Team stands at just three new episodes, with season seven episode eight set to stream on Sunday, September 15, 2024. The final season’s been an emotional roller coaster, and episode eight, “Appetite for Destruction,” promises to continue to up the ante as we edge toward the October 6th series finale.

Season seven stars David Boreanaz as Jason Hayes, Neil Brown Jr. as Ray Perry, A.J. Buckley as Sonny Quinn, Toni Trucks as Lieutenant Lisa Davis, Raffi Barsoumian as Omar Hamza, and Beau Knapp as Drew Franklin.

“Los Espookys,“ one of the funniest comedy-horror series you’ll find on television at the moment, is back and bigger than ever with season two.

Created by Fred Armisen, Ana Fabrega, and Julio Torres (HBO comedy special “My Favorite Shapes”), season two of the bilingual, six-episode HBO Original comedy series “Los Espookys” premiered on September 16 on HBO and HBO Max.

The series follows “a group of friends who turn their shared passion for horror into a peculiar business, providing horror to clients who need it, in a dreamy Latin American country where the strange and eerie are just a part of daily life.”

With the six-episode season drawing rapidly to a close, Bloody Disgusting spoke with the series creators and stars about the season, its genre-bending evolution, and more.
