The Star Wars series focuses on Cassian Andor, one of the main characters from the standalone film Rogue One, giving audiences a better, more nuanced look of the aloof rogue.
But the show’s success goes so much deeper than that. By shedding the Star Wars trappings of Jedi and lightsabers, we see what a galaxy under the thumb of a tyrannical regime is actually like, which makes for intense and fascinating television.

Morpheus or Dream, who rules over the dreaming world, is forced into ours and has to fix the cracks that result from that. The show sheds linear storytelling for something fresh and experimental and definitely worth watching, despite the gore and unsettling moments.

Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm sure can. HBO has brought the world of Westeros and Targaryens and terrible medieval life back in style with House of the Dragon, now on Crave.
HOTD is set 200-ish years before the events of Game of Thrones, focusing heavily on the Targaryen family at the height of their reign. With tons of palace intrigue, family squabbles and epic battles, there’s a lot here for fans to love.
New episodes are available weekly.

Now available on Crave, the biopic of the legendary singer, unfortunately, fails in nearly every way thanks to a weak, cliched script and over-acting performances that make the 2.5-hour movie feel twice as long.

It’s perfectly fine, and kids will likely enjoy this new Pixar adventure — but it does take away from the childlike, imaginative connections the character had in the Toy Story series. Not everything needs to be explained and contextualized in its own universe.

Set 300 years ago in the Comanche Nation in the Great Plains, Prey focuses on Naru as she fights to prove herself to her tribe before confronting the Predator head-on. Beautifully shot, tastefully explored and expertly choreographed, Prey is an unexpected summer gem worth watching.
