In one of the most befuddling streaming moves of the year, Prime Video has quietly added The Edge of Sleep, the long-awaited series from popular YouTube horror content creator Markiplier, to its library without promoting it. Fans were shocked to load up the second-largest streaming service in the world on Wednesday morning to discover all six episodes of The Edge of Sleep were now streaming on the platform, and had jumped to the #9 most popular project on the platform. The horror series has not been registered on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, but the show currently sits at a nearly-flawless 9.6 rating from 443 reviews from fans on IMDb. In addition to Markiplier, aka Mark Fischbach, himself starring as Dave Torres, The Edge of Sleep also features Lio Tipton, Eve Harlow, Franz Drameh, Lisa Durupt, Trezzo Mahorro, Patti Allan, Braden Overwater, and Luis Javier in supporting roles.

This Supergirl review contains spoilers.

Supergirl Season 5 Episode 7

If you were hoping that Supergirl episode "Tremors" would involve Kara fighting off some giant, underground worms, then you would have been disappointed. Frankly, I think the story might have been better if it had gone in that direction. Up until this point, Leviathan has been a pretty intimidating villain—shadowy, omniscient, and very mysterious. But the more we learn about Leviathan, the less intimidating they become.

We learned a fair amount about Leviathan in tonight's episode. Sadly, the Older Woman (played wonderfully by Patti Allan) is not the head honcho of the organization. That honor seems to belong to Rama Khan and a Blonde Woman, who get an update on the Medaliian on Acrata (still in Lena's possession) from...

Okay, some updates.

It's Tuesday, so keep an eye on Beginning of Line. A new episode of Caprica season 2 goes up today.

There are a couple of things to check out on TV tonight. Patton Oswalt is on Conan at 11 pm on TBS, and on Chelsea Lately, also at 11 on E!

Deck the Halls with Luciana Carro and Hiro Kanagawa premieres at 9 pm on TNT. From the press release:
