Video Emerges From Controversial Matthew Mayich Workout
A new video shows the moments before Arizona State hockey player Matthew Mayich collapsed during a controversial outdoor team workout last month, leaving him in the hospital with “zero chance of recovery.”
The video, obtained and published by Arizona’s Family on Tuesday, September 22, features Green Beret Tim Ziesel running the workout on the field outside ASU’s ice rink on August 20.
“Those teams that have won, they’re soft,” Ziesel can be heard telling the players as they performed planks on the ground. “Because that’s what winning does to you. It makes you soft!”
Ziesel then commanded the players to perform push-ups, with some of the players noticeably struggling.
Shortly after the video was taken, Mayich, 21, collapsed due to a heat stroke. In an exclusive interview with Us earlier this month, the Mayich family’s attorney, Robert Carey, acknowledged “no good outcome is coming.”
A report issued by Arizona State University on Tuesday revealed temperatures at the time of the workout “ranged from 86 degrees to 89 degrees F with a relative humidity of 51 percent to 46 percent.”
During the workout, Mayich became dizzy and disoriented before suffering “exertional heat stroke that caused a lack of oxygen to the brain,” according to Carey. The attorney told Us he’s “confident” Mayich did not receive water throughout the nearly-hour long workout, which ASU’s report refuted.
“ASU Hockey staff ordered short-sleeved, light-colored shirts for them to wear with shorts during the event, and the athletic trainer brought water for the student-athletes to drink as well as a cooler with iced towels,” the report said. ”A break was taken approximately 20 minutes into the event for the student-athletes to drink water.”
James Rund, ASU’s Senior Vice President, Educational Outreach and Student Services, added in the report, “All of the student-athletes who participated in the event had been medically cleared for athletics participation prior to the event. This included Matthew, who had arrived in Tempe from his home in Canada eight days earlier (on August 12) and been medically cleared by the team physician and the athletic trainer after a pre-participation physical examination.”
Despite the alleged precautions, the report acknowledged the ASU hockey team “did not submit a plan of training activities for review by ASU’s strength and conditioning coaches prior to the event.”
The Mayich family attorney issued a blistering response about the report to Us on Wednesday.
“What the report doesn’t say is what the players will tell you: this was a punishment workout,” Carey said. “Miss a count, your group runs again. The head coach set it up, stood there and watched it, and didn’t stop it when the signs were there. And when Matthew went down, there was no plan and no preparation, so he was treated in a way that hurt his chances rather than helped them.”
The lawyer continued, “The report does settle one thing. The coach said the workout was planned for ninety minutes and cut short at forty-five. ASU’s own timeline has Matthew on that field for more than eighty minutes, in a grueling workout with almost no water, with no acclimation to anything like it, eight days off a plane from Canada, and nobody doing their job on safety or ready for an emergency.”
Arizona State is scheduled to open the season on October 2 at Lindenwood.

Mississippi Police Make 2nd Arrest In Her Death
Police in Mississippi have arrested a second man in the death of a Black woman, Tasia Fortune, found hanging from a tree. They have also issued an arrest warrant for a third suspect.

Man Arrested In Connection To Tasia Fortune’s Death
Jackson police said late Tuesday (Sept. 22) that they arrested 25-year-old Earnest Lloyd Jr. in the death of 29-year-old Tasia Fortune. As said, her body was found hanging behind an abandoned home in the city on Aug. 3.
Like Fortune and the first man arrested, 51-year-old Jarques Ratliff, Lloyd is Black. Lloyd appeared at a brief hearing on Wednesday in Jackson, Mississippi. Meanwhile, Ratliff was arrested earlier this month on murder charges. He pleaded not guilty and remains jailed without bond.
Tasia’s Mom Reacts To Second Arrest In Daughter’s Passing
Fortune’s mother, Christy Spivey, who attended the recent hearing, said afterward that she was ecstatic to see arrests made in her daughter’s death. She said that neither she nor several of her daughter’s friends knew Lloyd. Additionally, she cautioned that everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
“My family is not the only family that this is affecting,” Christy Spivey said of the defendants’ families. “I feel for them as well. The only difference is that mine can never come back.” She added, “I’ll never truly have peace.”
A Kentucky native, Tasia Fortune had four children and had been living in Jackson for about a decade, relatives said. Spivey previously said her daughter struggled with homelessness in recent years, and that she wasn’t sure where her daughter was living at the time of her death. She said that before her death, her daughter had talked about starting a cleaning business and was trying to get her life in order.


Police Is Looking For A Third Suspect
Mississippi police said in a statement that they issued an arrest warrant for a third suspect. However, they gave no details about that person’s identity or alleged link to Tasia Fortune’s death. They also said they expect to issue additional warrants.
After the arrest of Jarques Ratliff (the first suspect), Jackson’s police chief, RaShall Brackney, said Ratliff had an “association” with Fortune but didn’t elaborate.
Police haven’t suggested a possible motive for the killing or said whether they think race played a role. Still, the case has attracted widespread attention because the manner of death recalled lynchings in the Southern state.

Detroit Finds Wrong Body In Funeral Casket
A Detroit family expected to say a final goodbye to their loved one, Kimberly Kaye Moore, but a disturbing mix-up at a funeral home reportedly left them with more questions than answers. And now, Don Lemon is speaking out about the situation.
RELATED: Chicago Funeral Home Reportedly Investigated After More Than 50 Decomposing Bodies Found Inside
Family Says They Discovered A Devastating Mix-Up
According to the family, things took a heartbreaking turn when they arrived at the funeral home ahead of Moore’s scheduled viewing. Her daughter, Bianca Robinson, said she was preparing to add her mother’s nails and lashes when funeral home staff opened the body bag — only for her to realize the woman inside was not her mother.
Robinson recalled noticing that a distinguishing mark on the woman’s toe did not match her mother’s. She told local outlet WXYZ that when she questioned the staff, she was allegedly told Moore may have been cremated shortly after arriving at the funeral home because two women had arrived around the same time. The family says staff suggested an identification mix-up may have occurred after Moore’s toe tag allegedly became wet and fell off.
Family Says They Never Received Moore’s Remains
And that realization reportedly left the family facing a heartbreaking reality: the viewing and funeral they had planned could no longer happen as expected. The family said they intended to hold Moore’s viewing and funeral before cremating her, but after discovering the wrong body, they said they did not have Moore’s remains or ashes.
Don Lemon Speaks Out About Incident
In a video shared on social media, Don Lemon spoke out about the reported mix-up, expressing disbelief over how such a serious error could happen. “I mean, I’m sorry. How do you make a mistake like that? That’s just really unacceptable,” Lemon said, as he reacted to the family’s disturbing discovery.
@donlemon Kimberlly Kaye Moore was accidentally cremated after a funeral home error, and her family still does not have her remains.
Funeral Home Says It’s Heartbroken And Deeply Sorry”
The funeral home, identified as Hutchison Funeral Home, has since launched an internal review into the situation. Furthermore, Joseph Hutchison Jr., the funeral home’s vice president of operations, told WXYZ that the establishment was investigating the matter. And, in a statement shared to Click On Detroit, the establishment said it was “heartbroken and deeply sorry” for what Moore’s family experienced:
“We are aware of the family’s concerns and we will continue to communicate with them honestly and respectfully,” the statement from Hutchison Funeral Home revealed. “We have launched our own internal review to determine exactly what happened and we will deal with it accordingly. Out of respect for Ms. Moore and her family, we ask that their privacy be honored during this time. We will share more when we can.”

Ciara Miller Admits To ‘Stage Fright’ On ‘DWTS’
Ciara Miller is embracing every fiber of change on “DWTS.”
The television personality reflects on how rewarding her time on the dance show has been, and how it has also brought her face to face with a silent battle she has fought throughout her years on television.
Ciara Miller is dancing her way to victory so far on the latest season of “Dancing With The Stars” alongside her partner Brandon Armstrong, and they recently received an 18 out of 30 for their tango on the recent episode.
Reality TV Did Not Prepare Ciara Miller For The Different Feeling Of ‘DWTS’

The reality star explained that despite spending half a decade winning fans on “Summer House” and also landing a co-hosting role on “Aftersun,” dancing in front of an audience is a different ballgame. In her words:
“I underestimated the impact of everything. And stage fright is a real thing. Being anxious is a real thing.”
Miller then made another grand confession about a positive side of her that appeared in the competition. She explained that her experience on the show reinforced her confidence and helped her stay more focused on getting anything.
The 30-year-old continued that more than ever, she is relating to the concept of locking in and blocking out the noise if she wants to have a great time on that show.
Her dance partner, during their interview with US Magazine, emphasized that “DWTS” basically forces contestants to face their fears and address their limitations, for better or worse.
The Reality TV Star’s Soured Romantic Relationship Inspired Her Latest Ballroom Routine
Miller’s stage fright did not stop her from sending a loud, yet artistic shoutout to her ex-boyfriend West Wilson, who was in a controversial romantic situation with her former best friend, Amanda Batula.
On Tuesday, September 22, Miller and Armstrong chose to perform a Tango to “No Broke Boys” by Disco Lines & Tinashe. As Page Six noted, the duo chose the song to match the episode’s theme of dancing to songs that broke the internet.
The media personality told host Julianne Hough she chose the song because the title fit a time when a “broke boy” tried to ruin her life, but it didn’t work. The episode featuring Miller’s ex-boyfriend and ex-bestfriend eventually made the 10th season of “Summer House” a smash hit on television.
Batula and Wilson have since confirmed the secret relationship, saying it grew out of genuine friendship and that they had to be extra careful about how they addressed their connection.
Ciara Miller Reflected On An Emotional Breakthrough On ‘DWTS’ After Judge Carrie Ann Inaba’s Praise
The television personality and show judge Inaba shared a candid moment on television that left a lasting impression on her heart and forced her to embrace a bolder side of herself. In a pre-recorded message aired before the tango performance, Miller reflected on Inaba telling her she could recognize the pain she battled.
Miller found deep meaning in the acknowledgment, saying she finally felt seen after spending about seven years on television, with her personality often dismissed as too dramatic. She admitted that vulnerability isn’t a natural trait for her, making it even harder to come undone on “DWTS.”
Miller channeled her discovery into preparing to be braver for her new performance, and her work paid off as the audience blasted applause across the room at the end of her routine. Judge Inaba didn’t hold back with praise for Miller’s intensity and dedication.
The 30-Year-Old Cleared The Air On Her Facial Expression During ‘DWTS’ Debut
Miller and Armstrong made an emotional debut to Whitney Houston’s moving song “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” that brought the ballroom to tears, including some judges. The duo landed a 15 out of 30 for their brilliant performance as they also bade farewell to some of their fellow contestants.
While the “Summer House” star and her partner soaked in the compliment, Miller’s demeanor caught fans’ attention and sparked conversation. Miller later told Entertainment Weekly that she fell short of words because she was soaking in the moment and mostly felt at peace about making it to the end of the performance.
The reality star continued on Threads that she dealt with severe anxiety throughout the night and worried about letting the viewers down. She reassured fans that her facial expressions meant no harm, as some fans said the look was more like fear than the disappointment speculated.
Ciara Miller Credited Emotional ‘DWTS’ Debut For Helping Her Close A Difficult Chapter

As noted by The Blast, Miller gave more context to her debut performance, which she dedicated to everyone in her life who helped her get through such a difficult time. She explained that appearing on that stage for the first time was more than landing the perfect score; it was also stepping into a new chapter.
Miller added that many of her struggles before the show happened privately, with her support system by her side, and that it was important to leave that painful chapter behind. Inaba’s comment made the night even more meaningful for Miller, as the judge saw the clear communication behind those moves.
Miller also described dance as an outlet that helps her address her emotions publicly without putting them into words, while embracing healing. For the rest of her ballroom journey, the reality TV star stressed that she is ready to loosen up and enjoy the competition.

Claressa Shields Gets Real About Preparing For Blended Family Life With Papoose

Claressa and Pap don’t share any children together right now, but he has three kids — a daughter, Reminisce Mackenzie, with Remy Ma, and two other children from previous relationships, a daughter, Dejanae Mackie, and a son, Shamele Mackie.
Despite Claressa and Remy not exactly seeing eye to eye, the heavyweight boxing champion isn’t worried about what the future might bring. Claressa said she’s simply “going with the flow” and doesn’t plan to force anything when it comes to blending families. Instead, she’s letting things play out naturally and waiting to see what the future holds.
“I’m not gonna try to force nothing. Like I said, it’s a whole little court going on they have to get that finished and I don’t know how that would be after, but I’m not gonna worry myself with that,” Shields said.
From there, Shields said knowing that Papoose will always show up as a great father makes matters much easier. However, she still plans to cross that bridge when she gets there.
“I know that he will always be an excellent father to his kids and that’s what he’s gon’ do.” Shields added, “Now, blended family […] however it comes, it get dealt with […] hey, I’m not gonna stress myself about it.”

Instagram user @msetcetera wrote, “Great answer!… Very mature response.”
Instagram user @iamalainarose wrote, “I mean no one’s saying to ‘stress yourself’ but I think it’s important to have some sort of relationship with all of the children…”
While Instagram user @sexychocolate10 wrote, “They keep setting her up for backlash!! It should be no questions asked about that relationship! Her PR team if she has one need to do better!”
Then instagram user @steamyscorpio wrote, “Why even answer questions that’s not pertaining to you and your accolades? Even if it’s pertaining to Pap, just say we’re great!”
Another Instagram user @milar619 wrote, “I love that she doesn’t side step questions cause at the end of the day this is her life and she can keep or speak on whatever she pleases regarding her.”

Boxing Gloves To Baby Bottles? Here’s What Claressa Previously Said About Having Kids With Papoose
Claressa has never shied away from speaking on her future with Papoose. Back in December 2025, the boxing champ spilled all the tea about their baby plans during a chat with Fight Hype. At the time, Claressa said she hoped to have a baby this year, but she wanted to knock out a few fights first so she could fully focus on starting a family with Pap. In other instances, Shields has also made it clear that she doesn’t want to wait until her 40s or until she hangs up her gloves to become a mom. Instead, she wants to juggle motherhood AND her boxing career at the same time. Okayyy, future boss mom energy!
“I want to be able to run at the park with my kids and stuff like that. I don’t want to be too old. So, I think keeping my body in shape.. I don’t drink or smoke. I think that will also help me too, when I’m going through this whole body and life change,” Shields explained.

Dakota Johnson Got A Front Row Seat To MGK’s Milan Runway
Dakota Johnson may not have walked the Milan Fashion Week runway, but she still became part of the spectacle.
The actress was spotted watching Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) make his runway debut at Vogue World: Milano. Her appearance came shortly after reports that the pair had gone on their first date in New York.
Dakota Johnson’s love life has drawn plenty of attention since her split from Chris Martin. She was later linked to Role Model before her reported connection with MGK emerged.
Dakota Johnson Watches MGK Take Over The Milan Runway
MGK, 36, walked at the Vogue World: Milano show on Tuesday, September 22. He stepped onto the runway wearing an orange Byblos jumpsuit during the Milan Fashion Week presentation. Johnson, also 36, watched from the front row.
She wore a black plunging midi dress with a sheer skirt as she took in the presentation. Johnson’s appearance reportedly came shortly after the pair’s first date at Taylor Swift’s New York apartment. A source previously said they “hit it off” and wanted privacy during their first outing.
The source explained to US Magazine that Johnson contacted Swift about using her apartment. Swift was reportedly away and has allowed close friends to use her place when she is not there. Their reported connection comes after both recently experienced changes in their respective romantic lives.
Johnson had been linked to Role Model after splitting from Chris Martin. MGK, meanwhile, had remained single following his complicated relationship with Megan Fox.
MGK Is Reportedly ‘Really Into’ Johnson

The Milan appearance followed a New York outing that initially left people wondering what was happening between Johnson and MGK. The pair had reportedly spent time together at Swift’s Tribeca apartment before heading out for dinner.
The Blast reported that a source described MGK as “really into” Johnson. The insider said he thought she was cool, was attracted to her, and believed there was definite chemistry between them.
The source also said the two were getting to know each other. MGK reportedly enjoyed that Johnson was funny, did not take herself too seriously, and made the evening feel comfortable.
However, the connection was not presented as a serious relationship yet. The insider said MGK was not putting a label on anything and wanted to spend more time with Johnson.
Their evening was reportedly not a major romantic production. They had dinner, talked, and spent time together without trying to make their connection public.
Privacy was reportedly important to both stars during the outing. Their social circles had already overlapped before this latest connection. Both stars attended Swift and Travis Kelce’s July wedding, where they reportedly crossed paths before spending more time together later.
Dakota Johnson Has A Romantic History With Musicians

The actress has previously been romantically linked to several musicians. She spent nearly eight years with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The pair dated on and off from 2017 until their final split in June 2025 and were reportedly engaged for years.
Johnson was later linked to Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury. Their relationship reportedly began after they were spotted together in December 2025, before PEOPLE reported in August that they had quietly ended things.
The Blast revealed that one insider described musicians as Johnson’s apparent type, claiming she loves rock stars and is drawn to the rock-and-roll lifestyle. Another source compared her supposed attraction to musicians with Penny Lane from “Almost Famous.”
MGK also had a years-long relationship with Megan Fox, including an engagement, breakups, reconciliations, and eventually the birth of their daughter. The former couple welcomed Saga Blade in March 2025.
They had already ended their romantic relationship before their daughter’s arrival and later shifted their attention toward co-parenting. MGK is also a father to daughter Casie from his previous relationship with Emma Cannon.
The Duo Have Different Personalities

Johnson and MGK may have chemistry, but insiders described them as an unexpected pairing. Both are 36, which reportedly appeals to Johnson after dating men in different age groups. One insider said she loves that MGK is “in his 30s like she is.” MGK also reportedly appreciates Johnson’s Hollywood background.
She is the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, and granddaughter of Tippi Hedren. One source said MGK is “a little starstruck” because Johnson’s family is so famous. Their personalities are another noticeable difference. One source described MGK as “more eccentric and loud,” while Johnson is “more reserved and down to earth.”
Another insider suggested they might “tame each other a little bit,” though it remains unclear whether that could last long-term. Another question is what they want from a relationship.
Johnson has said, “I really do,” when asked whether she wants children, while a source claimed MGK “isn’t looking for anything serious.” The pair also have demanding careers, with Johnson promoting “Verity” and MGK focused on his recording career.
MGK’s Last Runway Appearance Also Featured Another Leading Lady

MGK has previously made Milan Fashion Week part of his public image. His earlier appearance at a Dolce & Gabbana menswear show became memorable because of both his fashion choices and his relationship with Megan Fox.
The South China Morning Post reported that MGK headlined Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn/winter 2022-23 menswear show in Milan. The event took place during a reduced fashion calendar because the Omicron variant was spreading across Italy.
MGK reportedly made at least three wardrobe changes during that show. He also handed his jacket to Fox in the front row before performing at the end of the presentation.
The runway itself leaned heavily into the musician’s flamboyant style. Dolce & Gabbana showcased bold puffer coats, eco-furs, sequins, exaggerated shoulders, men’s skirts, and rock-inspired looks.
The rapper’s appearance also included statement-making pieces that matched his reputation for unconventional dressing. The collection featured bubblegum-pink puffer coats and trousers alongside graffiti prints. Another standout was a tall blue knit cap, compared to Marge Simpson.
The show also moved beyond traditional menswear. Tweed midi skirts, black kilts, shimmering minidresses and long tunics appeared alongside leggings and leather details. The overall collection carried a rock-and-roll attitude.

Collin Gosselin Reveals Mom Kate’s Special Forces Influence
Collin Gosselin’s decision to join Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test was influenced by more than just one factor.
“I mean, a part of me for a long time was like, ‘I’m gonna prove my mom wrong after everything she did to me as a kid,’” Collin, 22, exclusively shared with Us before the show’s season 5 premiere on Thursday, September 24. “But at a certain point, it’s not for her — this journey, saying yes and going out in the jungle — this was for me.”
When Special Forces premiered in 2023, Kate Gosselin was the first celebrity contestant out of the competition when she was medically withdrawn in the first episode.
As season 5 kicks off this month, Collin is determined to complete more tasks than his estranged mom.
“Looking back, it’s been a couple of months, but I feel like I learned and grew so much, and I did this for me and for all the children who are part of the mission I’m on,” Collin explained to Us. “I just want to show them you can be strong. You can be a warrior and push through and keep going. That’s who I did it for. Not for her.”
Collin grew up in the spotlight when his parents, Kate, 51, and Jon Gosselin, appeared on the TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8. When his parents divorced in 2009, Collin remained on TV thanks to Kate Plus 8.
He later moved in with his father full-time and began speaking out about the alleged abuse he experienced from his mother. (Kate’s lawyer shared in a 2024 interview with Fox News that she would not be responding to the allegations.)
Collin is expected to share his story about “truth, survival, resilience and finding my voice after years of being silenced” in the upcoming book titled In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood.
While filming Special Forces, Collin was grateful to build such strong connections with his fellow contestants, including Ruby Rose. The bonds formed while filming pushed him to keep going.
“There’s nothing else out there besides the people around you,” he shared. “That bond we shared — at the end of the day we’d all sit on our cots and talk, and that’s what kept me going — that community is really all you have out there.”
When asked if Jon, 49, could ever join the show in the future, Collin made it clear that he doesn’t see the DJ traveling to the jungle to complete demanding training exercises led by an elite team of ex-special forces operatives.
“He wouldn’t do it,” Collin said. “After I told him everything when I came back home, he was like, ‘I’m glad I didn’t do that. I would never want to do that. Not for me.’”
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 5 premieres on Fox Thursday, September 24 at 9 p.m. ET.

8 Netflix Fantasy Shows Without a Single Flaw
Fantasy shows ask a lot from the audience. They want them to remember entirely new worlds, complicated magic systems, and strange creatures. When that balance between exposition and storytelling goes wrong, watching a show can start to feel like homework. When it works, though, there is nothing easier to get lost in.
Netflix has produced plenty of fantasy series over the years, but only a handful have managed to make their worlds feel spectacularly grand without making the audience work too hard to understand them. These are the shows where the lore, characters, and story all pull in the same direction, and every new episode gives the audience another reason to stay inside that world a little longer. Here are such Netflix fantasy series that unfold perfectly without a single flaw.
‘The Dragon Prince’ (2018–2024)
The Dragon Prince wastes no time throwing its young heroes into a conflict that is way too big for them to understand. The fantasy series is set in a world divided between the human kingdoms and the magical land of Xadia, where elves, dragons, and humans have spent generations seeing each other as enemies. That begins to change when human princes Callum (Jack DeSena) and Ezran (Sasha Rojen) discover that the supposedly dead Dragon Prince is actually still alive. Instead of letting another war begin, they join Moonshadow Elf assassin Rayla (Paula Burrows) on a journey to bring him home.
The setup is easy enough to understand, but The Dragon Prince keeps expanding its lore with every episode. The show’s magic system is carefully built out, but the fact that it is rooted in history and prejudice is what gives it weight. Netflix gave the story a full seven-season arc, which allowed the writers to explore every relationship, rivalry, and threat that Callum and Ezran came across on their quest. What begins as a straightforward adventure featuring three unlikely friends eventually turns into a much larger fantasy saga that immerses the audience until the very last minute.
‘Arcane’ (2021–2024)
Arcane is a League of Legends spin-off, but it works because the audience can come in with practically no understanding of the game and still become completely invested in its world. The series takes place between the wealthy city of Piltover and the struggling underground district of Zaun, but its much bigger conflict begins with two sisters. Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Powder (Ella Purnell) grow up together in Zaun until one disastrous night tears them apart. Years later, Vi returns to find that the little sister she remembers has become Jinx, a dangerous and deeply unstable figure caught in the growing conflict between the two cities.
That relationship gives Arcane its most important emotional beats. The political tension between Piltover and Zaun keeps rising, but nearly every major development eventually circles back to the people caught in the middle, including the two sisters. However, what makes Arcane truly worth watching is how intentional every episode feels. By the end, it is clear that Arcane always knew where it was going, with every part of the story building naturally toward its fitting close.
‘Locke & Key’ (2020–2022)
Locke & Key builds its fantasy around a pretty simple concept, but it uses that as the foundation for a much bigger story filled with magic and increasingly dangerous family secrets. The series follows siblings Tyler (Connor Jessup), Kinsey (Emilia Jones), and Bode Locke (Jackson Robert Scott) along with their mother Nina (Darby Stanchfield), as they move into Keyhouse, their father’s mysterious childhood home, after he is murdered. Now, it doesn’t take long for Bode to discover that the house is filled with magical keys, each capable of doing something completely different.
One can open a door to anywhere in the world, another lets people enter their own minds, and the deeper the siblings dig, the more they realize their father knew far more about Keyhouse than he ever told them. That constant discovery gives Locke & Key an almost irresistible sense of curiosity. Every new key creates another possibility, but the series is smart enough to make sure that all this magic ties back to the Locke family’s larger story about grief. Even when the threat grows beyond Keyhouse, it still comes from the same secrets the family is trying to understand, especially once a dangerous entity begins hunting the keys for itself. That emotional grounding keeps the fantasy from ever feeling random or disconnected from the characters, and makes every episode of Locke & Key feel essential to the larger story.
‘Sweet Tooth’ (2021–2024)
Sweet Tooth drops viewers into a completely broken world, and that is the show’s smartest decision. The series takes place after a deadly pandemic known as the Sick has torn society apart. It has also resulted in children being born as hybrids, with both human and animal features. The story follows Gus (Christian Convery), a half-human, half-deer boy who has spent most of his life hidden away from the outside world. When he finally leaves home, he joins Tommy Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) on a journey to find his mother and learn where hybrids like him actually came from. Now, the world around Gus is obviously incredibly cruel, but Sweet Tooth never lets the darkness of its narrative take over the whole show.
The audience experiences ruined cities and dangerous strangers through Gus’ eyes and his sense of wonder that keeps the story surprisingly hopeful. Every episode offers the audience answers that tie the protagonist’s personal story to a much bigger question about the very future of humans and hybrids. His search eventually takes him from Yellowstone all the way to Alaska, where his mother Birdie (Amy Seimetz) has been searching for the same answers. The question of where Gus came from gradually collides with the mystery behind the Sick, and the way these two come together makes the final season feel like the natural payoff to everything the show has been building from the start.
‘Shadow and Bone’ (2021–2023)
Shadow and Bone, based on the novel by Leigh Bardugo, is set in the kingdom of Ravka, which has quite literally been split into two by the Shadow Fold, a huge wall of darkness filled with deadly creatures known as Volcra. Anyone who crosses it is pretty much gambling with their life. The story follows ordinary cartographer Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), who discovers that she is a Sun Summoner, a rare Grisha capable of creating light and possibly the only person powerful enough to destroy it. That discovery brings her under the wing of General Kirigan (Ben Barnes), the mysterious leader of Ravka’s magical army whose interest in Alina quickly becomes far more complicated than it first appears.
That story is only half of it, though. Shadow and Bone also brings Kaz Brekker (Freddy Carter), Inej Ghafa (Amita Suman), and Jesper Fahey (Kit Young) from Bardugo’s Six of Crows books into the story much earlier than the novels do. This gives the show a second storyline built around criminals, heists, and the streets of Ketterdam. Shadow and Bone Season 1 even creates an entirely new prequel adventure for the Crows so they can exist alongside Alina without simply copying their book’s plot. That decision makes the Grishaverse feel much bigger almost immediately. There’s no denying that the show has a lot of mythology to juggle, but its biggest strength is making its huge world feel exciting rather than exhausting through impeccably intentional storytelling.
‘The Umbrella Academy’ (2019–2024)
The Umbrella Academy takes the superhero formula and builds it around an extremely dysfunctional family. The story begins years earlier when Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) adopts a group of mysteriously born children and trains them to become superheroes. In the present day, his death brings the estranged siblings back under the same roof. Luther (Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castañeda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), and Viktor (Elliot Page) are all living separate lives when their brother Five (Aidan Gallagher) suddenly returns after spending years trapped in the future, with the knowledge that the world is going to end in just a few days.
From here, The Umbrella Academy could have easily turned into yet another story about superheroes preventing an apocalypse. However, here, the impending apocalypse is never separate from the Hargreeves themselves. Their childhood trauma, resentment toward Reginald, and inability to communicate keep creating problems that no superpowers can easily fix. Yet through every reset and ridiculous disaster, the show keeps returning to the same idea that saving the world is usually easier for the Hargreeves than figuring out how to be a family. That gives all the timeline chaos a surprisingly consistent center and makes the final sacrifice feel like the natural conclusion to four seasons of the siblings accidentally breaking reality and then trying to put it back together.
‘The Sandman’ (2022–2025)
The Sandman brings the idea of a nightmare to life in the most interesting way possible. The show follows Dream (Tom Sturridge), the immortal ruler of the Dreaming, who is accidentally captured by occultists and kept imprisoned for more than a century. By the time he finally escapes, his kingdom has fallen apart, several of his tools have been stolen, and dangerous creations like the Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook) are loose in the waking world. Dream’s first order of business is to rebuild what he lost, but that quickly sends him through Hell, human dreams, ancient myths, and conflicts with his own immortal family.
Now, what really makes The Sandman stand out is how comfortable the show is changing shape from one episode to the next. The show takes detours to the point where certain episodes barely focus on Dream. Instead, they follow ordinary humans, immortals, and other beings whose lives have been shaped by Dream and the world he controls. None of that feels pointless because every storyline reiterates the fact that the central character is powerful, but incredibly subtle, distant, and terrible at accepting change. Ultimately, The Sandman is not really about whether Dream can defeat something stronger than him, but whether he can actually learn from the damage he has caused.
‘Wednesday’ (2022–Present)
Wednesday brings the creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky Addams Family back to the screen but puts a spin on the story by turning the focus on Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega). The series begins with Wednesday being sent to attend Nevermore Academy, a school for supernatural outcasts where she finally gets the space to exist outside her parents’ shadow. Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Gomez (Luis Guzmán), and the rest of the Addams family are still important to the story, but the show is ultimately built around Wednesday figuring out who she is when she is no longer just the strange daughter in an already strange family.
That makes the series an easy entry point for viewers who did not grow up with earlier versions of The Addams Family while giving longtime fans of the franchise a reason to tune in for more. Nevermore itself introduces an entirely new group of werewolves, sirens, psychics, and other outcasts, while Wednesday’s friendship with Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) gives the character a relationship that belongs completely to this version of the story. The murder mystery surrounding the school gives Wednesday something interesting to chase, but the real fun comes from watching such an iconic character move through a world specifically designed for her. Wednesday keeps enough of the Addams Family‘s gothic humor and macabre personality to feel familiar, but gives the franchise a younger, more modern identity that clearly resonated very well with the audience.
