However, recently with shows like Yellowstone and more, fans have noticed his writing becoming more and more formulaic and preachy. As such, the latest episode of 1923 finally provided a relief from a series of bad to worse storytelling in a while.

Although the episode depicted a brutal and harrowing tale of Alex’s journey, it stunned the fans with its gripping narrative without faltering on a single aspect of production.

1923 Season 2 Episode 3 proved Taylor Sheridan can still bring his old magic back

The Season 2 of 1923 is picking up speed with every episode. After a somewhat lukewarm first season, many people had understandably lost their hopes about...

Another great year of anime has come and gone... unless you’re like me and still playing catch-up on some 2024 anime titles. Either way, we’re about to step into 2025, which will undoubtedly give us even more anime to be excited about. Besides being a great source of entertainment, anime also has the ability to make you watch something and go, “I relate to that way more than I expected to." Related: The Lessons We Learned From Anime in 2023 To celebrate the upcoming New Year, I wanted to look back at some of the things I learned from anime in 2024. From embracing a good work-life balance to realizing how much of a difference it makes to listen to someone who's hurting, these are the anime lessons we learned in 2024.

Hope and Carter have become the next great love story on The Bold and the Beautiful. Or so it would seem. After kissing Thomas while married to Liam, she got divorced and started a fling with her erstwhile suitor. But Thomas proposed a couple of times and she wasn’t ready to get married again, so he took off for Europe. Then she developed a crush on Steffy’s husband Finn, and thoroughly embarrassed herself when she kissed him. Now she’s suddenly in love with Carter and he feels the same. But is she really going to commit to him?

The Fans Don’t Miss a Trick

Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) has had several failed relationships over the years, but he currently seems to care genuinely for Hope (Annika Noelle). But even though Hope turned down Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) and has professed her affection for Carter, an eagle-eyed fan noticed something that says otherwise.

Wicked's box office has been consistently strong throughout its run. Not only has the film adaptation of Wicked received great reviews, but it managed to debut at no. 1 in its first weekend at the box office, bringing in $112.5 million. To date, Wicked has made over $359 million worldwide at the box office, continuing on strong in its second weekend. The film is playing on nearly 4,000 screens across the country, and thus will continue to rake in cash over the next few weeks.

Something especially impressive about Wicked's box office run is the fact that it has been able to maintain its strong performance despite competition.

Of the numerous reality TV shows that currently exist on mainstream media, TLC’s Sister Wives has to be one of the most confounding. The program follows the patriarch Kody Brown and his formerly polyamorous life he led with his 4 wives, Janelle Brown, Meri Brown, and Christine Brown Woolley. When it comes to the last remaining wife, however, Robyn Brown packs an entirely different saga.

Concord, the new first-person hero shooter developed by Firewalk Studios and published by Sony, has had a bumpy road to release ever since its reveal a few months ago. Fans didn’t take kindly to another hero shooter in an oversaturated market, and the game didn’t do enough to justify its $40 price tag.

After eight years of development, including the last five years focused heavily on perfecting the game, the game was anticipated as a major entry into the live-service gaming market. Despite these high expectations, the game’s initial reception has been a mixed bag, especially when considering its Steam player count.

When it comes to villains in anime, it's not uncommon to see them turn over a new leaf and become some of the hero's staunchest allies. Whether it's due to the power of friendship or the discovery of a common enemy, these former foes end up fighting the good fight, and that's what really matters. These characters aren't always totally reformed; sometimes, they're still a bit more "evil" in their methods than the heroes are, and that can lead to some conflict between them. No matter how one looks at it, though, it's always interesting to see a villain fighting side-by-side with the hero.

Villains can turn at any time, from fairly early on in a series to the final episodes, so there may be some spoilers ahead. The characters listed below all started out at least mildly antagonistic to their series' main hero but eventually came to realize that...
