Learning his father has put aside his divine powers, making himself human to better understand the world his son has chosen to live in, and now has forgotten where he stored them, leads to more than a little panic from Lucifer (Tom Ellis), especially after God (Dennis Haysbert) goes missing. It also provides momentary temptation to Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) whose choice to stay her hand leads to an unexpected revelation.

Featuring interviews and clips from the likes of Björn Borg, Billie Jean King, Keith Richards, Patrick McEnroe, and John McEnroe and his children, the documentary McEnroe examines the tennis career of the volatile former No. 1 tennis player in the world whose mouth often got him in trouble his talent would have to back up. I don’t know that it strikes new ground for those familiar with his career, but there’s still plenty worth checking out for tennis fans.

Riverdale – The Complete First Season

  • Title: Riverdale – Season One

Adapted from one of the longest running comic series, Riverdale brought the characters of Archie Comics to television albeit with a less wholesome vibe than their source material. In some ways it’s so unrecognizable, it took me some time to sit down and give the show a chance. However, despite the modern updates the show turns out to have more going on that you might expect.

The First Season introduces us to the core characters Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), and Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) providing various friendship and relationship drama and a mystery to solve involving the disappearance of one of their classmates. In terms of crime solving it delivers, and thankfully with a lack of supernatural causes (unlike The CW’s Nancy Drew.).

Ms. Marvel & Moon Knight #1

/ / Comics

Continuing the story of someone sending out highly adaptable swarms of ratbots which began in Ms. Marvel & Wolverine #1, Ms. Marvel‘s search for answers takes her to the Midnight Mission to enlist the help of Moon Knight. Despite the bizarre naming and numbering of a series of separate team-ups which are connected, the odd pairing of Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight against a creepy threat works well. We even get Hunter’s Moon thrown in as a bonus.
