‘The Goes Wrong Show’ gets funnier while things get worse

[ad_1] Each Goes Wrong story is set in the fictional Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, a bunch of amateur actors and technicians. To fit the six-episode, half-hour format, the society has been chosen to front Play of the Week, a new anthology series for BBC One. Each week, an obscure play is taken from the archives […]

‘Last Word’ is an RPG about the power of debate

[ad_1] There’s also a plethora of attack options which are also coded by type. It gets confusing pretty quickly and the tutorial does a poor job of explaining it well, to the point where I was almost done with the game before it actually clicked.  You even gain experience points and level up, with additional […]

Three binge-ready shows for you to stream: ‘Deep Space Nine,’ ‘Kingdom’ and ‘Solar Opposites’

[ad_1] At the time it aired, Deep Space Nine got a lot of flack for not being like its predecessors; it was too dark in tone, everyone argued too much, it was boring because they didn’t travel around in a ship, it was a ripoff of Babylon 5. All of these complaints seem rather quaint […]

What we’re listening to: Brass Against and ‘Gastropod’

[ad_1] Brass Against Kris HoltContributing Writer YouTube gets a lot of flak over its recommendation algorithm, but it got one suggestion absolutely spot on for me recently with a video from Brass Against. The collective aims to create “brass protest music that calls fans to action.” So far, that equates to brass-heavy arrangements of well-known […]

The Engadget staff on ‘The Man in the High Castle’ finale

[ad_1] Nick SummersSenior Editor Let’s jump straight into season four. What did you make of the slimmer cast? I was surprised that they killed trade minister Nobusuke Tagomi, a pacifist with a deep understanding of the show’s multiverse, in the first episode (apparently he was busy shooting the second season of Netflix’s Lost in Space).

What we’ve been watching: ‘State of the Union’ and ‘Little Monsters’

[ad_1] Little Monsters Richard LawlerSenior News Editor In the age of prestige television, sometimes I just need something a little more comfortable to watch, and that’s what Little Monsters delivers. After taking a break from the Walking Dead series I wasn’t sure if I needed any more zombie content, but this movie on Hulu split […]
