Poker Face Season 2, Episode 5 Review
A entertaining but predictable (and ultimately underwhelming) episode of Poker Face features Charlie Cale facing off against a former small-town baseball pitcher who possesses a lethal fastball. "Hometown Hero," the fifth episode of Poker Face season 2, is the season's first significant disappointment. Although there are some funny moments and some amazing guest stars in this episode, it doesn't live up to the high bar the series has set for itself.

Ranked: The Top 10 Villains Who Were Actually Right (And Why We Secretly Rooted for Them)
Introduction: The Fine Line Between Villainy and Vision Let’s be honest—sometimes, the so-called "villains" of a story make a lot more sense than the heroes. Sure, they might have a penchant for monologuing, a questionable fashion sense (looking at you, Loki), or a habit of cackling maniacally while plotting world domination. But strip away the theatrics, and you’ll find that many of them had legitimate grievances, solid logic, and even noble intentions buried under all that evil laughter and plotting.

Love, Death + Robots: All Volume 4 Episode Endings Explained
Ten distinct stories covering a wide range of issues were included in volume 4 of Netflix's (mainly) animated anthology series Love, Death + Robots, and each one could benefit a closer examination. The anthology series Love, Death + Robots has always been profoundly reflective and metaphorical. Every episode reveals a deeper, hidden truth about the fanciful sci-fi worlds we're headed toward or the weird, current reality we live in. It's among the greatest Netflix series as a result. Fortunately, volume 4 of Love, Death + Robots continues its symbolic storytelling.
