‘Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl’ Review: Aardman’s Beloved Duo Is Back on Top
Feathers McGraw steals the show in this safe but fun return to form.
Aardman’s four-time Academy Award-winning director Nick Park and Emmy Award-nominated Merlin Crossingham return with a brand new epic adventure, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. In this next installment, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!
Thankfully, Wallace & Gromit’s return was as good as we hoped. Aidan Kelley said in his review: From a technical level, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl sees Aardman Animation at the top of their game. The timeless style, the gorgeous animation, and the impeccable music make Wallace & Gromit’s second feature film a gleeful experience from start to finish.

‘Animal Control’ Season 3 Review: Joel McHale Sitcom Isn’t Monkeying Around With Its Best Installment Yet
The third season of this irreverent comedy is “paw-sitively” fresh.
Animal Control follows a group of Animal Control workers whose lives are complicated because animals are simple, but humans are not. The sitcom is now entering its third season as Joel McHale, and company continues to deliver the laughs.
Tania Hussain praises the show as the year’s first great comedy: Animal Control continues to prove it’s one of the most consistently hilarious shows across network television, and it’s already off to a strong start in the new year. Thanks to clever writing, a strong ensemble cast, and fresh laughs that deepen emotional layers, the show is a genuine joy to watch, with Season 3 cementing it as a standout series not to be missed.

How Does ‘Interview with the Vampire’ Connect to ‘Mayfair Witches’?
As the Immortal Universe expands on AMC, so do its references.
Rowan’s search for family thrusts her into an ancient prophecy that results in the birth of Lasher, the spirit who has haunted her family for generations. Determined to use him to achieve her purpose as a healer, the struggle will lead her back to the origin of the Mayfair legacy.
Carly Lane revealed that Season 2 of the series is an improvement on the first, saying: Much like its lead character, Mayfair Witches has yet to reach its full potential, but is definitely displaying a bigger glimmer of promise in Season 2. With stronger performances — particularly from Daddario, Hamlin, and Levine — as well as a willingness to indulge in even more horror and an expansion of environment beyond the familiar backdrop of New Orleans, the show capably delivers on magic, drama, and scares, the likes of which only become more interesting as the story grows more twisted and tangled.
