Geppetto gives his grieving grandson a friend who can never die, then seems surprised when immortality produces a few social complications. That contradiction gives Pinocchio: Unstrung a stronger dramatic foundation than the murderous-public-domain premise suggests. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield still delivers the gore expected from the Twisted Childhood Universe, but this entry places genuine craft and sadness beneath the splinters. James has lost his parents in an accident and a close friend to cancer. His grandfather Geppetto, played by Richard Brake, responds by carving Pinocchio from magical wood. The solution is well intentioned and quietly terrible. James initially recoils from the...

Eighty-eight days in jail is a brutal amount of time for a story built on fabricated emails. Michelle Hadley’s imprisonment gives Alexandra Lacey’s documentary its emotional weight, yet the film initially keeps that damage outside the frame. It asks us to follow the account offered by deputy US marshal Ian Diaz and his new partner, Angela Connell, letting their fear set the rhythm before exposing how badly that trust has been misplaced. A Toxic Love Story recounts the Anaheim cyberstalking case in a focused 88 minutes. Ian and Angela’s rapid romance leads to marriage and a home in the condominium...

One trip through the Item World can turn N.A. from a capable mercenary into a boss-deleting error in the difficulty curve. That outcome fits Disgaea’s fixation on broken builds and absurd numbers, yet it exposes the central weakness of Disgaea Mayhem: its inherited progression systems are far deeper than the action game supporting them. This spin-off trades the series’ turn-based maps for real-time battles inspired by Musou games. N.A., a mercenary who works for the right price, is hired by Princess Tichelle to suppress a rebellion in the Netherworld of Super Duper. Her former retainers have also taken her precious...

The Enterprise spends its fourth season behaving like a television network with an unusually generous costume department. One week brings volcanic terrain and prehistoric predators. The next turns the ship into a black-and-white noir set, then abandons it for a derelict vessel filled with mutilated bodies, before asking its officers to survive medical catastrophe, chaotic shore leave, and life as felt puppets. Consistency has been relieved of duty. This creative restlessness restores something Season 3 misplaced. Its longer threats, particularly the Vezda material, pressed the series toward the serialized model that streaming platforms treat as natural law. Season 4 rejects...

Maggie and Negan spend much of the Season 3 premiere trapped in a hole, which is convenient symbolism and awkward television. New showrunner Seth Hoffman inherits two seasons of unfinished wars, collapsing alliances, and character grudges, then attempts to dispose of most of them before his first hour has found its rhythm. Ginny is mourned, New Babylon’s attack loses momentum, and the Croat, the Dama, and Perlie Armstrong begin drifting toward the exits. It feels less like a premiere than a landlord emptying a crowded apartment. The cleaning works. Once the debris has been cleared, The Walking Dead: Dead City...

Carol listens to her dead husband’s voicemail several times a day. The gesture is small, repetitive, almost embarrassingly private, which makes it one of the few moments in Abode that fully understands what a home can become after loss: a collection of habits whose original purpose has disappeared. Writer-director Liam O Mochain builds his Irish anthology from five self-contained stories linked by variations on domestic belonging. Carol, played by Marion O’Dwyer, sleeps rough outside Benedict’s restaurant. Peggy shares a corner shop with her disapproving adult son while arranging visits from an older escort. Molly prepares to meet the son she...
