What I Found While Packing
The television industry has been able to up its game in impressive ways to dominate many pop-culture trends. A lot of Netflix content comes across as disposable, but there are some recent series from the streaming service that are well worth the investment.
Mike Flanagan has produced a number of TV series and feature films for Netflix, none of which have disappointed, and he has even more on the way.
Midnight Mass flows with the eerie tension of a Stephen King novel from the s. It tells a remarkable story about the power of faith and how it can be a tool for both rebirth and destruction. A small community gradually transforms in horrific ways, all while a growing power manipulates its religious leaders. Curiously, the whole "death game" subgenre is popular subject matter in anime.
In this sense, the nine-episode Squid Game isn't necessarily anything new. Its premise where disenfranchised social outcasts are forced to participate in deadly games for a monumental cash payout is par for the course, but Squid Game stands out because of its inspired performances and hard-boiled writing. Netflix fully embraced Squid Game and wants to extend this popular series into a rich universe. There are debates to be had over whether more Squid Game material is a good idea, but the original series illicits a strong burst of adrenaline.
There's a good deal of luck involved with which Netflix original productions suddenly click with audiences and grow into cultural phenomena. The Queen's Gambit is an austere and methodical period piece that digs into Beth Harmon, a tortured chess prodigy who's sublimely portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy. A seven-episode miniseries that's focused on chess, addiction, and power dynamics may not necessarily seem like everyone's cup of tea, but The Queen's Gambit became one of Netflix's most popular series in and continued to bring in new audiences throughout An underappreciated talent back on Saturday Night Live , Tim Robinson is able to let his surreal impulses fly with no compromise on this new sketch comedy nightmare.
Each episode is also distilled down to its strongest parts, and there is absolutely no fat on any installment. Some of the most exciting content to come to Netflix during the past few years have been international acquisitions and co-productions, which can effectively highlight how different storytelling and structure can be outside of North America.
Coming from South Korea, Hellbound is a stark meditation on guilt , life, and faith that explores a cryptic pact that begins to dismantle the world. Beasts from hell begin to drag guilty parties to damnation, but this scenario intensifies when seemingly innocent individuals are also subjected to this unholy judgment.
Hellbound is only six episodes, but it tells a complex and thought-provoking story in that short period of time. The Haunting of Bly Manor is Flanagan's second installment of his Haunting anthology series, and its delicate take on Henry James' gothic fiction is powerful, yet not for everyone. Bly Manor lacks some of the visceral scares of its Hill House predecessor, and it's interested in telling more of an internal struggle.
Some consider Bly Manor to be a step down from Hill House , but Flanagan moves his melodramatic anthology series to new thematic territory instead of just repeating himself.
Saturday Morning All-Star Hits! Netflix continues to excel with its unconventional horror series, but sadly, some of these programs get lost in the shuffle. Archive 81 is a supernatural series that begins as a film conservationist gets hired to restore old videotapes from the s, only for him to stumble upon demonic and sinister forces that are still active.
The engrossing narrative in Archive 81 plays out between two time periods, which ultimately come together in a satisfying manner. Admittedly, Archive 81 was canceled after its first season, yet there's still a sense of closure that's provided by the end of season one. It's still very possible to enjoy Archive 81 as a self-contained horror story. The abundance of streaming services like Netflix have helped anthology-style programming become major hits, and some of the most exciting genre exercises on television.
What initially began as a reboot of the animated anthology film, Heavy Metal , has grown into an even more varied collection of eclectic science fiction stories and animation styles. None of these bold presentations feel like weak links, and there's surely at least one episode that will open up the audience's eyes in new ways.

'Bloom County' And Opus The Penguin Return After A 25-Year Hiatus
I wrote a couple of days ago in my review of The Princess and the Frog about the caution and compromise that wrecked that otherwise promising film. Rod Dreher of the Dallas Morning News has identified one aspect of the film that I didn't discuss but that he sees as suffering from the same sort of clumsiness and confusion that I found so deadly:. The villain, Dr. Facilier, is a big, bad French Quarter voodoo daddy who tries to manipulate evil spirits to do his bidding. When Prince Naveen and Tiana fall victim to Dr. Facilier's spell, who do they turn to for help? This being New Orleans, you might think that a representative of that city's other rich, venerable religious tradition, Roman Catholicism, would be called on. Anyone who has been to New Orleans knows the place is saturated in the myths and rituals of Catholicism. You have to work hard to avoid seeing what is in front of your face. Bizarrely, Disney creates—wait for it—a good voodoo priestess, Mama Odie, to serve as the film's avatar of white magic and the cursed pair's spiritual guide.
Opus the Penguin
Launched on Dec. When cartoonist Berkeley Breathed penned the last strip of the comic's first run in August he has since re- animated it in several other formats , the '80 were already on their way to becoming a thing of nostalgic mis-remembrance; it takes only a quick perusal of the old strips to remind oneself of how things really were. The comic was initially centered on a boarding house in a mythical Midwestern land called Bloom County, based on Iowa City, Iowa, where the Texas-born Breathed had moved to follow a girlfriend. The boarding house was run by a doddering old couple, the Major and his wife, but its most important tenant was Milo Bloom, the couple's year-old grandson. For the first few months of the strip's existence, the stories revolved around the various characters Milo ran into at the boarding house and at school, including his friend Binkley, who was burdened with terrible anxieties that would emerge from his bedroom closet at night, and local attorney Steve Dallas, who spent most of his time drinking, smoking and chasing women who wanted nothing to do with him.
'Bloom County' gave us Opus, Bill the Cat — then took them away
Through all the years. Berkeley Breathed's Opus was my favorite character. Thanks for the memories. It was bittersweet. I think the expression on my face was similar to that of Steve Dallas' when I went to the Humane Society's website. I loved Bloom County, but didn't enjoy Outland.

One of the iron laws of the arts is that when censorship is imposed it will crack down on the wrong thing. Video rental outlets have been raided and busted for the alleged offence of stocking The Evil Dead. Having at last sat down to see this contentious opus, I would not defend its right to exist — not because, like Joyce's Ulysses , it is a great work that makes the weightiest prosecutor look a fool, but because it is just too crummy to be concerned about. Putting The Evil Dead under arrest is like bringing down a hat-rack with a rugby tackle.

When the Pulitzer Prize committee awarded Breathed the prize for cartooning, members of the Assn. Breathed pokes fun at the gossip column elite more often than politicians. During the brouhaha over Vanessa Williams appearing in Penthouse, photos of Mr. I won the Pulitzer for editorializing, which is a whole different matter. More traditional political cartoonists are engaged in scoring points, like a tennis game; Breathed levels a cannon that shoots custard pies.
Magnum Opus: ‘Bloom County’ 40 Years Later
The hilarious stories of the denizens of Bloom County sad penguin Opus, Bill the Cat, disheveled Steve Dallas all began thirty years ago. The comic strip written by Berkeley Breathed debuted on December 8, in a small number of newspapers. In a short time, Bloom County spread to appear in over newspapers across the United States. The strip began following the child reporter of Milo Bloom who commented on the politics of the day, which led to Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau publicly blasting Breathed for copying his formula. Bloom County soon found its own legs skewering pop-culture and the fragility of human emotion, even if it was mostly represented by a sad penguin. Breathed ended Bloom County inexplicably in , but later penned spinoffs Outland and Opus. IDW Publishing is celebrating the debut of Bloom County by releasing four volumes of the complete collection of the series.

Berkeley Breathed lives and works in Santa Barbara, California and is the proud owner of a gentle pit bull named Ridley, a deaf dachshund named Milly, and a refugee mutt from the Puerto Rican streets named Pilar--splendidly flawed dogs, every one.
