For us The Sandman fans who yearned for a second season of Neil Gaiman's most enigmatic TV project, Dead Boy Detectives was a life-saver. The new Netflix show that follows the adventures of two ghosts who prefer solving supernatural mysteries to enjoying their afterlife is a fantastic addition to the already rich universe of The Sandman.
The spinoff somehow manages to be very similar and very different to its parent show at the same time. Despite the shared universe and the general The Sandman-esque vibe, Dead Boy Detectives is much more light-hearted and, if we may, fun.
Still, it was a real treat for fans to go full "meme Dicaprio" mode when they saw literally anything — or anyone — directly from The Sandman. The first Endless cameo awaited us right in the first episode, when Kirby Howell-Baptiste's Death arrived to collect a soul and Charles and Edwin had...

Within the first seven minutes, Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives tells you exactly what its greatest love story is going to be. Hanging onto the ledge outside the London offices of their supernatural detective agency, Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) are waiting out a visit from Death. Kirby reprises her casually cool and soothingly collected version of the reaper from Netflix’s other Neil Gaiman adaptation The Sandman. If Death catches them, it would mean being carted off to the afterlife and separated. For 30 years, the two eternal teenagers have walked just behind the veil of our world as an unbreakable pair and two pretty damn-good detectives. In a tragic sense of irony, they were each other’s first real friend –– they just didn’t meet until after they died. Edwin met his fate in 1916 after being sacrificed to a demon by the bullies of his...

Neil Gaiman doesn’t create singular worlds. Instead, he produces an entire universe held together by the gravitational force of his imagination.
Dead Boy Detectives, the new series based on Gaiman’s teenage ghost duo Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri), exists within the same narrative reality as The Sandman. The undead detectives solve mysteries and fight demons and witches, while trying to evade the attention of Death (Kirby) herself. The series, developed for television by Steve Yockey — who serves as co-showrunner alongside Beth Schwartz — lives on its own, but the influence of The Sandman radiates throughout.
“I grew up reading Sandman and Books of Magic and Children's Crusade and Dead Boy Detectives and all the sort of Vertigo imprint stuff for DC Comics,” Yockey tells Tudum. “I found Dead Boys when I was going through a particularly difficult loss in my life and just found it...

Dead Boy Detectives was initially developed for television by HBO Max in 2021. After a long and winding road of purgatory, the series eventually is reaching Netflix in early 2023. (Please note that this has nothing to do with Netflix licensing Max properties as of late.) The adaptation of DC Comics has a cult following that can tap into every popular young demographic.
Now, every comic book property will continuously develop in the ever-competitive streaming landscape. This makes it more surprising how ordinary, at times, Dead Boy Detectives can be, considering Netflix’s binge model. Dead Boy Detectives is like a purgatory Hardy Boys procedural, with the boys trying to solve a new case weekly.
However, as the series progresses, you see its overall potential. You hope the streaming giant will allow Dead Boy Detectives to achieve that potential.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Sugar Episode 3 “Shibuya Crossing.”] “We all have our secrets, even me. Especially me.” So says Sugar (Colin Farrell) in the closing voiceover of the latest episode of the Apple TV+ noir series. We may be one more episode into Sugar, but it just leaves us with more questions about the titular private investigator. We know that Sugar has secrets, and now, we get a sense of just how many others have the same one when he attends an event, hosted by Ruby (Kirby). Each person has a one-on-one with her upstairs in an interrogation-like room. She takes a look at his notebook and is confused about some of his entries about how it feels to watch people cross a street in Japan as well as his obsession with the kidnapping case he’s working. She reminds him they’re here to observe, not participate in these people’s lives, and it was his ...

Ruby’s still against John taking on this case, and John doesn’t know why. He admits to himself that it might be because of his shaking hand and bad dreams. However, he continues to tell himself he’s fine.

If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, then Lucid Dream Studios’s Biomorph is extremely flattering. Visually, the game is above reproach, as its cartoonish art style potently captures the strikingly different biomes of Ilios and the freakish ways in which the processing of oil-like ferrox has mutated the planet’s life. But beneath that surface, the game’s nonlinear structure is both mechanically unbalanced and narratively confusing. Ultimately, protagonist Harlo’s ability to harvest the genetic data of his enemies and transform into them at will is more of a novelty than a transformative take on the 2D Metroidvania.
At its best, Biomorph is a fun mashup of Mega Man and Kirby, with Harlo able to equip three different technological attacks and morph into a customizable set of three (of an unlockable 21) creatures. These animals are varied in appearance and, for the most part, functionality, like the spring-jumping Spyrux or dust-warping Sorios.

Colin Farrell stars in ‘Sugar’ (Photo Credit: Apple TV+)
Apple TV+’s Sugar kicks off with a neo-noir vibe, gorgeous black-and-white and backed by a classic detective film-inspired track. But don’t settle in and expect the eight-episode season to remain true to that opening noir nod in every scene. With Oscar nominee Colin Farrell leading the way, the series takes viewers on a roller coaster ride through various genres (while remaining true to the hard-boiled detective aesthetic) as the titular character unravels clues in his search for a missing woman.
Created by Mark Protosevich, Sugar refuses to be stuffed into a specific genre box, subverting expectations and teasing twists. Whatever expectations you have for Sugar based on its first two episodes, Protosevich has something entirely different in store.
Farrell’s lead character delivers voice-over exposition throughout, and his engaging performance as a gumshoe with a love of Hollywood and classic films draws you in.

Get ready for a gritty noir mystery thriller series set in Los Angeles created by Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend) and directed by Fernando Meirelles (City of God). Apple TV+’s latest series titled Sugar is an original story and it follows the titular character Private Detective John Sugar, who goes to LA to find a missing girl named Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As he digs deeper into the case he finds some secrets the Siegel family would have liked to keep buried.
While the critical reception of Sugar is not as good as I would have hoped, it is still an impressive series and worth your time. So, if you want to lose yourself in the dirty underbelly of LA with Pi John Sugar, here are the dates for the series’ upcoming episodes.

Before his mid-career upswing — starting either with “The Lobster” or “The Beguiled” and running through recent scorchers like “After Yang” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” — it’s worth remembering that Colin Farrell used to make bad movies, too. Now, his hot streak includes an Oscar nomination and a successful blockbuster franchise (soon with its own TV spinoff), but back then, for every “New World” and “In Bruges,” there was a “London Boulevard” and “Dead Man Down.” “Disappointing” may be a better descriptor of his star-forming era, with the “Total Recall” and “Fright Night” reboots, as well as earlier flops like “Alexander,” “The Recruit,” and “S.W.A.T.” But no matter how you remember them (if you remember them), Farrell’s early career offered uncertain quality. Of course, TV fans needn’t be reminded that Farrell’s charming Irish talents have gone to waste in projects unworthy of his efforts. We shan’t...

There’s just something about the detective narrative that is alluring to viewers. Add to that the iconic Los Angeles landscape, and throw in the charming bastard that is Colin Farrell, and you’re onto a real winner with new Apple TV+ series Sugar.
To mark the April 5 launch of the new series, we had the pleasure in speaking to three of its leading stars in Farrell, Amy Ryan & Kirby, as they discuss their relationship with the noir genre, and talk about their characters and the creation of this show. Farrell even whets our appetite ahead of the release of his new Batman spin-off series Penguin, scheduled for later this year. We also spoke to those behind the lens, chatting to Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon, as they talk about their leading man. Watch all four interviews in their entirety, below.

Matt Shakman’s The Fantastic Four is reported to have hired Ozark star Julia Garner in the film. The film already has an ensemble cast in the form of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon-Moss Bachrach. It will be the first depiction of the characters in the MCU and is rumored to be set in an alternate reality. The characters have had two iterations before.
Julia Garner has been cast as the Silver Surfer in the upcoming film, which seemingly has not gone down well with fans. Though it is speculated that she would be playing the role of Shalla-Bal, a female version of the supervillain in another reality, fans seem to be extremely upset with the gender-swapped role and criticized Marvel for the move.

Bruce Timm is one of the greatest creators of comic book media in recent history. The creator joined a long line of comic book and superhero legends when he created Batman: The Animated Series. However, there was one character, created by Jack Kirby, that the legendary artist had some beef with: Thor.
Thor in Marvel Comics
Speaking with The Jack Kirby Collector, Timm opened up about why he liked drawing so many characters that are created by Jack Kirby wailing on Thor. This stems from a preference that Kevin Alteri, the director that Timm was working with at the time, had when it came to the character.

Bruce Timm, who is widely recognized for contributing to the modern DC animated franchise, took on quite an unorthodox approach in co-developing Superman: The Animated Series. The Dcau series ran for four seasons and 54 episodes from 1996 to 2000, receiving critical acclaim for its stunning animation, writing, and mature themes.

When it comes to comparing Marvel and DC animated shows, one always seems to find itself on top. From Young Justice to Batman Beyond, the upper hand goes to DC in many ways. That does not necessarily mean that Marvel is far behind. Especially with the release of X-Men ’97, tides are bound to turn at some point. Bruce Timm happens to be the man behind Batman: The Animated Series, a show that is receiving praise like prayers.

Having helmed the likes of Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond, Bruce Timm’s contribution to the realm of superheroes can’t be overstated. But while Timm has been enjoying an illustrious run in the realm of superheroes for decades, responsible for some of the best the genre has to offer, the American animator is no stranger to having regrets.
Being a huge fan of Jack Kirby, one of the most influential figures in the medium of comic books, the Btas creator recalled his regret for not having a fruitful discussion with Kirby.

“This was not just a bad luck situation where ‘oops’ we dropped the bomb in the wrong place,” Andrés said. “Even if we were not in coordination with the [Israel Defense Forces], no democratic country and no military can be targeting civilians and humanitarians.”

“Dead Boy Detectives” is TV’s latest Neil Gaiman adaptation and an expansion of the “Sandman” universe. On Wednesday, Netflix released a trailer for the YA-mystery-fantasy-horror-comedy genre mashup series.
The trailer, which is set to a custom version of My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade,” gives a preview of the series’ darkly whimsical tone, in the vein of “The Sandman” or “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.”

As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent, others long-buried.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Israeli Defense Forces forces were responsible for the deaths in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday. “Our forces unintentionally hit innocent people in the Gaza Strip,” he said. “As it happens in war, we are investigating the matter fully, we are in contact with the governments, and we will do everything possible to prevent this from happening again.

"Suicide Squad Isekai," premiering this July, bridges the worlds of DC Comics and anime. "Isekai" is a popular anime genre; meaning "another world" in Japanese, Isekai anime follows an everyman lead being transported to a magical realm, "Alice in Wonderland" style. This time, the "everyman" leads are Harley Quinn (played by Anna Nagase instead of Margot Robbie), Deadshot, Peacemaker, King Shark, and Clayface.
Wit Studio ("Attack on Titan") is producing "Suicide Squad Isekai," but the series is only happening thanks to Warner Bros. Japan. Variety recently reported that Warner Bros. plans for DC Comics-inspired anime are only beginning. Like Disney, Warner Bros. has noticed an audience appetite for anime and is responding to it.
James Gibbons, Warner Bros. Discovery president of Asia-Pacific, told Variety:

Private Investigator John Sugar (Colin Farrell) wears a black suit for all occasions and never drives anything but his classic Corvette. He’s unflappably calm, prefers to listen rather than talk, and absolutely doesn’t know how to let a case go once he’s started working on it—especially if it involves a missing woman. Watching Sugar, it’s as if one of Humphrey Bogart or Glenn Ford’s hardboiled gumshoes stepped straight out of their smoky, monochrome realm and into our full-color world of smartphones and social media.
Though Sugar is set in modern-day L.A., the series finds him tasked with a case suited to his anachronistic sensibilities. In fact, it’s one cribbed straight from The Big Sleep: A rich, reclusive movie producer, Jonathan Siegel (James Cromwell), hires Sugar to track down his wild-child granddaughter, Olivia (Sydney Chandler).

Everything old is new again when it comes to TV detective shows.

Few actors stack up against the greatness of Colin Farrell. The Irish actor rose to the top of Hollywood but struggled with alcohol and drugs. His comeback, beginning in 2008’s In Bruges, has resulted in an over fifteen-year run of greatness. As the lead of Sugar, a new series from Apple TV+, Farrell once again shines. Through empathy and kindness, he makes Sugar a uniquely human show. Yet, on occasion, the show dips into style over substance. It’s a huge win for Apple TV+ and for Noir fans everywhere.

Pop quiz: Which of these Apple TV+ shows is real? "Dear Edward," "Acapulco," "Liason," or "Swagger?" Trick question -- the answer is all of them. I'm not trying to dunk on those specific shows, just illustrating the point that since Apple TV+ is still not a super heavy hitter in the streaming game, a lot of great stuff can easily fall through the cracks. But if you like compelling television, you won't want the new series "Sugar" to fall through the cracks.
Created by Mark Protosevich and executive produced and frequently directed by Fernando Meirelles, the series is a noir mystery starring Colin Farrell as John Sugar, a private investigator who is tasked with tracking down a missing girl in Los Angeles. You've seen that premise a thousand times in movies featuring guys like Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, and Dana Andrews. But "Sugar" not only welcomes those comparisons, it actively...

Apple TV+ is bringing a different kind of detective story to the screen with the upcoming Sugar, starring Colin Farrell as a private investigator, and TV Insider has an exclusive first look at the cast teasing what to expect. John Sugar is “somewhat obsessed with locating those lost souls who usually have been the victims of kidnap or abduction,” Farrell says in the video. In Sugar, the eight-episode series premiering with the first two on Friday, April 5 (followed by one a week), Sugar investigates the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel (James Cromwell).

1996’s animated show Superman: The Animated Series was widely loved by fans, and it wasn’t just because of its storyline. Written by Alan Burnett, Paul Dini, Stan Berkowitz, and Rich Fogel and developed by Burnett and Bruce Timm, the series also earned massive fan approval for how it paid homage to some real legends.

And by ‘real legends’, we refer to all the legendary comic book writers and artists who helped create the splendid world of superheroes and supervillains. One of these was none other than the late renowned mastermind Jack Kirby, who earned a ‘cameo’ in the very episode of the series that comic writer cum artist Alex Ross thanked the showrunners for.

We Strangers
One of the highlights of this year’s South By Southwest, Anu Valia’s We Strangers follows Ray (Kirby), a cleaner whose life changes abruptly as a result of an impulsive lie. When she tells one of her wealthy white employers that she can see into the spirit world, she suddenly finds herself in a position of power, which changes the way that she looks at the world and the life she has been living. I was delighted to get the opportunity to talk to Anu, and although she was a little guarded, not wanting to say anything that might restrict viewer’s freedom to make up their own minds about the film, we still found a lot to discuss.
Ray, she suggests, is not just the lead character in the film, but is a person who perceives herself very much as the lead character in her own story,...
