'The Suicide Squad' Is Gory, Gratuitous, but Great
'The Suicide Squad' is at its best when it focuses on its characters and commentary on real-life issues, but stumbles when it relies too heavily on gratuitous gore and insensitive humor.
The Gringo's 3
The Gringo family just wants to enjoy a cozy vacation at home, but their plans collapse when their apartment building undergoes renovations. They're forced to temporarily relocate to the strange and infamous German District. While the rest of the family worries about having to adjust all over again, Erik secretly hatches a plan to still go on a sunny holiday. But his scheme backfires, landing him in a chaotic quarrel - and a hefty fine. To pay it off, he must work at a bustling bazaar full of quirky characters who keep finding new tricks to make him stay longer.

What Netflix's “Shadow and Bone” Gets Right and Wrong with the Books’ Diversity
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.
