6 days ago | butwhytho.net | Kate Sanchez

Ramy Youssef has become a television staple, from his eponymous Hulu series Ramy to his work on Netflix and A24’s Mo. Now, he’s working with Prime Video to bring #1 Happy Family USA to audiences. Stretching his writing muscle into adult animation, this aggressive, irreverent, and satirical new series takes cues from Youssef’s life and blows them up. Youssef takes his experiences and makes them hyperbolic in the only way that adult animation can.

Wind Breaker Season 2 Episode 3 Review

1 week ago | butwhytho.net | Allyson Johnson

Despite the brawling and bloodied knuckles, Wind Breaker Season 2 Episode 3 proves its real mission statement is that it’s all about the friends we make along the way. Sure, KEEL has been defeated (for now, at least), and there seems to be a new threat gearing up to cause some trouble, but what really matters is that Sakura (Yuma Uchida) is slowly learning that he cares about the people around him. That he’d consider them his friends.

While the first was rocky, the second showed signs of promise. Yet Season 3 is its best yet, rich in scenic tapestries, expanding worlds, and pivotal, character-defining moments.

And no doubt, Ford too had a pretty face.

Daredevil Born Again Episode 9 Review

1 week ago | butwhytho.net | Allyson Johnson

At the end of Daredevil: Born Again Episode 9, we’re left with one crucial question: Was it all worth it? The short answer? No. Not one bit. Throughout this nine-episode season, we’re constantly reminded that this is a husk of a former series. It echoes what made the adaptation work, and Charlie Cox and his charisma know no bounds. But the result is a poorly lit, self-serious mess that eschews any fun for the sake of middling narratives and bad romance.
