Stream of Consciousness (2022)

A reboot series based on the popular original Nick teen sitcom of the same name.

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.

'The Invisible Man' triumphs in tension even as it drops the ball on genuine surprise for the audience.

A homeless girl faces depression and uncertainty during the holidays.

This powerful story shines with poetic animation, an exploration of deeper truths, and the protagonist's complex search for identity.

"The Old Guard" doesn't break ground, but it sure does bust boredom and fictional heads as an entertaining action romp on Netflix.
