Fans and critics are now left to make sense of the series’ myriad mysteries. Some of these mysteries revolve around the multiple tangled storylines and the ever-evolving characters.

Adam Pally, Jordana Brewster, and Reid Scott are three familiar faces you’ll quickly recognize from various past projects, such as The Mindy Project, the Fast & Furious franchise, and Veep, respectively. Together, they offer slapstick humor, profanity-laced bickering, and heart — sometimes all at the same time. While there have been various versions of pandemic life seen on-screen recently, a new film from director Xavier Manrique offers a unique take on the current era: What happens when an unexpected guest crashes your otherwise civilized quarantine?...

Given how heavily The Originals initially surrounded Klaus and Marcel’s war for control of New Orleans, it made sense that several central characters were going to get hurt. War tends to leave casualties. However, between the backstories of everyone’s lives and the events that happened in the present day, there were rarely, if ever, characters that did not deal with tremendous tragedy or loss. No character got out unscathed, whether it be an early and untimely death or multiple resurrections....

Few films or television programs has had quite the same influence or approach to genre as the long-running Fox hit The X-Files. Best known for featuring the sleuthing talents of Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully (the understated David Duchovny and the magnetic Gillian Anderson), the show was a masterpiece mash-up of seemingly incongruous elements: anthology and serialization, profound spirituality and stultifying mundanity, bald-faced comedy and ponderous pretension, gigantic set pieces and character moments about as intimate and subtextual as anything seen in the history of American cinema....

The classic westerns of the 1950s marked a golden age in Hollywood. Even skeptics of the genre recognize its stylistic trademarks like shootouts, closeups on the eyes, sweeping landscapes, masculinity and machismo, and other tropes. Westerns became less popular after the neo-Western boom of the 1970s, but their impact on film never went away.
