Netflix is the most popular streaming service on the planet (unless you count YouTube, which is on its way to replacing all TV), and has a long track record of helping shows find an audience. Shows like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are remembered as giant hits today, but they only really started to get popular after they streamed on Netflix, where the enormous subscriber base could find and fall in love with them. What other classics are on Netflix just waiting for you to watch them? The answer is pretty much always “a ton,” but not for long.…

I love a compelling fictional crime show just as much as the next person, especially a good slow-burn thriller with a gripping overarching story. It’s a good way to indulge in something serious without the consequence of coming to terms with real-life atrocities. But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy throwing on a true-crime documentary and learning about the actual horrors that go on in the world. I especially enjoy a well-researched documentary because I’ve found that too many nowadays engage in too much sensationalism that borders on cynicism. So I went in search of some overlooked true-crime documentaries that…

There is still this weird stigma against animation when it comes to certain viewer demographics that it’s only a medium for children. And while you could make the argument that a lot of animated films released in theaters are definitely targeted toward kids, it’s not an inherent thing. Directors like Guillermo del Toro have pushed back against this narrative—at least when it comes to films—with his dark take on Pinocchio. He’s also helming the non-animated Frankenstein, one of the sci-fi movies in 2025 you can’t afford to miss. Television, on the other hand, has already gotten the memo that animation…

If you’re looking for the best dump phone for kids (or, if you prefer, the best phones for kids), then you’re making a sensible decision. Because in a world where the best smartphones reign supreme, there’s something refreshingly straightforward about pared-down devices that offer just the right amount of connectivity, without the distractions and potential pitfalls of their smarter cousins. That’s why we’ve combed through the various available options to bring you a short, simple selection of the best dumb phones for kids. We’ve picked ones that are perfect for keeping your little ones (or not-so-little ones) connected, without breaking…

My smart TV felt somewhat limited right out of the box, but after installing Kodi, the open-source media center, my TV has become the perfect, personalized, flexible entertainment hub. Kodi lets you stream, organize, and access just about any type of content imaginable via a library of add-ons or dedicated apps that significantly expand your TV’s capabilities.If you own an Android TV, you can download Kodi for free from the Google Play Store. Alternatively, you can do as I did and install it on an external streaming device, such as an Amazon Fire TV Stick. I was amazed at the…

I’m still in the early days of my adventures with Roku, as I’ve only recently started properly utilizing my smart television in the ways it was designed for. I’ve mentioned this, but I’ve been using my Xbox Series X for most of my streaming and all-purpose tech needs, which has meant mostly ignoring Roku. But I recently realized the error of my ways, thanks to discovering just how many apps and features Roku has that a console just can’t match up to. From underrated Roku applications that deserve far more love to features like a consolidated all-in-one watchlist that I…

Forget films: no medium shows how broad the horror genre can be as well as games do. While you’ll naturally think of having to fend yourself against or otherwise bolting it from all kinds of frightening monstrosities, horror can also be atmospheric and psychological. It can take on different formats, where text can be just as chilling as a cinematic. Believe it or not, it can also be a strange source of comfort when the real world itself is full of horrors. So this Halloween, whether you want to turn all the lights off and be immersed in pure fear…

Everything is getting more expensive nowadays, from your supermarket shop to mobile and broadband prices, nothing is safe from inflation. Not even your trusty video doorbell subscription. Let’s be honest, the fact that some smart speakers and smart doorbells require a monthly subscription is a crazy concept in itself – imagine trying to explain that to yourself ten years ago. And, it’s not just Ring, from Google and Arlo, most of the models in our best video doorbells guide require a monthly fee to unlock all of the features. If you’ve had enough of monthly fees and price increases, we’ve…

I didn’t have a lot of friends growing up, but that was mainly due to my own nature as an introverted person. Instead, I found a lot of joy in watching fictional friendships play out on screen, because there was just something soothing about watching two or more actors with a lot of natural chemistry just feed off of each other’s energy on screen. As sad as that might sound, worry not: I have more than enough close friends in my adult life to keep me plenty company. Yet that love for fictional friendships has never gone away, because it’s…
