The Streaming Wars rage on as Chuck Lorre enters the mix. WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service, HBO Max has been gathering up intellectual properties for its launch in 2020, and now it has turned its sights on two of network cable’s most popular sitcoms.

Spoiler Warning: Barry Season 3 HBO Max’s Barry is as emotionally engaging as it is fantastically funny. Created by Alec Berg (The Cat in the Hat, The Dictator) and Bill Hader (Stephen King’s IT Chapters 1 and 2, Saturday Night Live), who portrays the show’s titular hitman, Barry had amassed a devoted audience over the course of its three weird and wild seasons. It continually challenges said audience’s notions surrounding the morality of murder and the cost of creativity....

Netflix’s hugely successful adaptation of The Witcher clearly managed to win over audiences, but critics, not quite so much. The first season received mostly mixed reviews from the critic community, but star of the series Henry Cavill thrives on everything written about the show, good or bad, particularly when it comes to his central performance. Henry Cavill must have a very thick skin to be able to browse the internet looking for people bad-mouthing his work, but it sounds like the actor is able to take such criticism on board and adjust his performance where he feels it is necessary....

There’s a reason that humankind has fought for ages to escape the great outdoors. The wilderness is a harsh mistress. Filling one’s stomach necessitates killing another living creature or finding edible plants amidst the myriad of toxins. In nature, one cannot simply adjust the thermostat to compensate for harsh temperatures but must rely on organically constructed shelters and their ability to harness the power of fire, which is notoriously fickle....

In the past, various branches of Hollywood have tried to cash in on the ever-elusive fandom that surrounds tabletop gaming, especially of the Dungeons and Dragons lore. With both theatrical and straight-to-DVD releases failing miserably though (a 2000 box office failure and a made-for-TV movie that was later pulled from every source imaginable), the fantasy universe which included strategically slaying dragons and looting every treasure chest imaginable in pursuit of that perfect weapon was put on ice for over ten years....

Charlie Day and Jenny Slate have fantastic chemistry in a heartfelt rom-com loaded with big laughs. I Want You Back is a surprisingly clever entry in a genre that often feels stale and contrived. The premise follows two spurned lovers as they conspire together to win back their exes. Their scheme goes spectacularly awry but allows deeper introspection as they find solace in each other. I Want You Back had me grinning from ear to ear....
