‘Yellowjackets’ Season 3 Review: Survivor Drama Gets More Savage, but Still No Answers to That Creepy Mythology

2 months ago | thewrap.com | Lauren Thoman |Jose Alejandro Bastidas

Mirroring the pilot episode, Season 3 of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” starts out by following a dark-haired teenage girl as she runs through the woods to escape unseen pursuers. But unlike the enigmatic introduction to the series, by the time viewers reach this scene in Season 3, the grisly rules of the hunt have become disturbingly clear: Kill or be eaten.

The Hargreeves Family Deserved Better Than The Umbrella Academy’s Cruel Twist

Aug 12, 2024 | pastemagazine.com | Lauren Thoman

After four seasons, the high stakes of The Umbrella Academy feel almost normal. We’ve watched the Hargreeves family fend off multiple apocalypses, to say nothing of the myriad alternate realities that we now accept as par for the course. But with the fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy, we knew going in that, with or without an apocalypse, there won’t be anything else after this. This is the end of the line.

‘The Umbrella Academy’ Season 4 Review: Netflix Superhero Drama Wrecks Its Ending

Aug 8, 2024 | thewrap.com | Lauren Thoman |Jose Alejandro Bastidas

For the Hargreeves siblings, the end of the world is getting a little old hat. After all, they’ve thwarted an impending apocalypse every season since “The Umbrella Academy” premiered on Netflix in 2019 (nevermind that they’ve also inadvertently caused all of them), so it makes sense that after sidestepping the kugelblitz at the end of Season 3, they’d be ready for a break.
You Shouldn't Be Here

Aug 3, 2024 | bookreporter.com | Lauren Thoman

In her second novel, YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE, Lauren Thoman pens another engaging mystery that, like her debut, has a bit of paranormal time travel. Unlike I’LL STOP THE WORLD, in this story the time traveler seems to be a ghost. But as with all well-written mysteries, we don't understand exactly what is happening until the end. And even then, just like the perplexed characters in the book, we aren't completely sure. Ten years ago, 16-year-old Angie had a best friend named Bas, short for Sebastián.

Prime Video's My Lady Jane Gives a Historical Underdog a Chance to Shine

Jun 26, 2024 | pastemagazine.com | Lauren Thoman

If you’ve never heard of Lady Jane Grey, who briefly held the English throne between the reigns of Edward VI and “Bloody” Mary I, that’s to be expected. After all, Jane was only Queen for nine days in 1553 before she was deposed by her cousin, the aforementioned “Bloody” Mary, and later executed in 1554 alongside her husband, Lord Guildford Dudley. At the time, she was only a teenager, likely only 16 or 17 years old.
