Cowboy Bebop Flop?

Some rhymes are just irresistable but in this case, critical response to Netflix's live-action adaptation of classic animated title, Cowboy Bebop, is far from favourable.

There are outliers. A few who love it like CNET's Allesandro Fillari. But the show's current Rotten Tomatoes rating is sitting on 51% for both critics and audiences and most reviews describe it as flawed and not living up to the original.

Racism in Doctor Who

In the most recent episode of Doctor Who, War of the Sontarans, viewers are introduced to British-Jamaican nurse, Mary Seacole.

With the first female doctor and increasing diversity in characters and stories, no-one would have expected this oddly sour note.

Potato head.

Animated X-Men Reboot

Possibly this will inspire many cries of, "Not more woke garbage," all across the internet in the coming days.
