10 Best Rom-Coms of the Last 10 Years

Published

Camila Mendes and Archie Renaux, holding drinks and looking at each other in Upgraded

Once declared unprofitable and dead, the romantic comedy genre has made a remarkable comeback. When cinematic universe and superhero movies thrived in late 2000s and early 2010s, romantic comedy became a niche offering. The genre used to rule the box office charts with movies like Pretty Woman, The Proposal and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. However, they have recently found new life as streaming platforms rise and they embrace fresh storytelling and perspectives.

This list takes a look at some of the best romantic comedies released in the past decades. Most of them may still lean to the proven and tested formula, but these movies add more spice that make it more appealing to modern audiences. The movies on this list range from bestselling book adaptations to original stories, proving that the genre still has a lot to give. One thing for sure, we will be seeing more and more romantic comedies in the years to come.

‘Upgraded’ (2024)

Upgraded follows Ana Santos (Camilla Mendes), an ambitious art gallery intern who is accompanying her demanding boss on a business trip to London. While she is initially set up to fly coach on a different flight by her sly colleagues, she is unexpectedly upgraded to business class and meets the charming William (Archie Renaux). However, Ana claims that she’s the CEO of the company and has to keep up appearances with William’s family, while also doing her actual job.

In this modern take on Cinderella, the film’s romance surprisingly takes a backseat and focuses on Ana’s character. It refreshingly puts her ambitions and career intuitions at the forefront, showing that she actually has what it takes to earn the position (unlike, say, Emily in Paris). The romance itself is quite charming. Camilla Mendes leads the film with confidence and ease, making it enjoyable throughout. It might follow a familiar formula, but it understands what the movie needs, which are likable characters, plenty of romantic tension, and believable stakes. It’s one of many solid romantic picks on Prime Video.

‘Anyone But You’ (2023)

Anyone But You centers on Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell), whose perfect meet cute and first date ends in disaster, leaving them convinced they can barely tolerate each other. Months later, they are both invited to a destination wedding in Australia, where they have to play nice with one another and even pretend they’re a happy couple for the benefit of friends and family.

Drawing from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, the film works because it fully embraces the timeless appeal of the enemies-to-lovers formula while giving it a modern energy. Its biggest strength lies in the electric chemistry between Sweeney and Powell. Right from the opening scene, they are simply irresistible to watch together. Their insane on-screen connection even sparked real-life romance rumors. The film marked the return of rom-coms in theaters when it became a sleeper hit when it was released in the usually crowded Christmas release date.

‘People We Meet on Vacation’ (2026)

Based on the bestselling novel by Emily Henry, People We Meet on Vacation centers on longtime best friends Poppy (Emily Bader) and Alex (Tom Blyth), who have spent a decade taking annual summer trips together despite having completely opposite personalities. Their trips eventually come to a stop after a falling out. When Alex’s brother is getting married, they have to face their storied past and open up a new chapter for them.

The friends-to-lovers trope has been the backbone of so many romance movies, and in this film it is once again put to work effectively. Anchored by exciting and unforgettable performances by Emily Bader as the free-spirited Poppy and the more restrained Tom Blyth, it is easy for audiences to also fall in love with them and their adventures. While the title is slightly misleading (they did not meet on a vacation!), the emotion and chemistry of the two characters are palpable. Despite resorting to the usual rom-com formula, the final act resolution is somehow more modern and refreshing. Thanks to this success, there will definitely be more Emily Henry adaptations.

‘Always Be My Maybe’ (2019)

Always Be My Maybe is about childhood best friends Sasha Tran (Ali Wong) and Marcus Kim (Randall Park). Their friendship came to an end after awkward sex during their late teens. Sixteen years later, Sasha has become a world-famous celebrity chef while Marcus remains in San Francisco, living a quieter life. When Sasha returns home to open a new restaurant, the two reconnect.

As one of Netflix’s best rom-coms, Always Be My Maybe is such a standout because of its ability to make familiar material feel deeply personal. The film is a more mature rom-com so it has a deeper emotional maturity as well as a distinct cultural identity courtesy of its two leads. Ali Wong and Randall Park are incredible comedic actors and both of them collaborate so well, and, as the kids say today, maximize their joint slay. Everything just felt natural between them, from the awkward moments to the romantic gestures. To add the cherry on top, the film also has a killer cameo from Keanu Reeves that should not be missed.

‘Set It Up’ (2018)

Set It Up follows two overworked assistants, Harper (Zoey Deutch) and Charlie (Glen Powell), who try to set up their extremely demanding bosses, Kirsten (Lucy Liu) and Rick (Taye Diggs), so that they can find some time off. As they execute their matchmaking scheme, Harper and Charlie develop a close friendship that soon blossoms into romance.

Set It Up was one of the strongest romantic comedies to come out after the genre fizzled out. With the strong main cast, the film boasts not one but two entertaining love stories. Deutch and Powell are simply very lovable presences on screen, and their relationship’s progression is very natural and believable. This results in seemingly simple scenes turning out to be very moving and memorable, such as the now famous pizza scene. With sharp dialogue and energetic pace, the film revives the genre for streaming glory. It is one of the best rom-coms to come out in the 2010s.

‘Long Shot’ (2019)

Long Shot sees the unlikely pairing of Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron), the U.S. Secretary of State, and journalist Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen). They reunite after so many years when Charlotte used to babysit Fred. Now, the outspoken Fred is recruited to be her speechwriter as she gears up for a presidential campaign.

Long Shot is one of the most unique rom-coms to ever be released. It combines romance, raunchy comedy and even political satire into one film. The central relationship between Charlotte and Fred is very well-balanced and doesn’t feel like a total romantic wish fulfillment. Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen are incredibly hilarious in this film but also can be vulnerable when the story calls for it. The film also has a fun supporting cast and cameos which includes Alexander Skarsgård and Andy Serkis. It’s a refreshing and very welcome twist on the romantic comedy formula.

‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’ (2018)

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before follows Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor), a shy high school student whose private love letters are accidentally mailed to every boy she has ever had feelings for. As all the boys question her letters, she gets into a fake relationship with one of the recipients, Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo), to convince another crush that she no longer has feelings for him while Peter agrees to this to make her ex jealous.

Based on a bestselling book by Jenny Han, the film was a phenomenon when it was released on Netflix. It uses the tried-and-true fake relationship trope while also being sincere and heartfelt to teenage emotions and drama. Lara Jean is a well-rounded and relatable protagonist whose insecurities make her easy to root for, while Peter, initially cold, evolves into a thoughtful person as their relationship progresses. Lana Condor and Noah Centineo are simply lovable as their characters. The movie also has warm family dynamics and comforting atmosphere that add to its qualities. The film is followed by two sequels and a spin-off series, but this first film is a lightning in a bottle.

‘Palm Springs’ (2020)

Palm Springs follows wedding guests Nyles (Andy Samberg) and Sarah (Cristin Milioti) as they are trapped in a mysterious time loop where they endlessly relive the same day. Embracing the freedom, the pair indulge in reckless adventures before confronting the emptiness that accompanies endless repetition. They begin questioning not just how to escape the loop, but also wonder if they could have a proper relationship in the future.

The time loop is a premise that has been used in virtually every genre ever since Groundhog Day popularized it. However, Palm Springs utilizes it to explore its emotional themes instead of using it as a cheap gimmick. The themes of loneliness and personal growth resonate strongly as the film hits the comedic beats. The chemistry between Samberg and Milioti feels so effortless that the high-concept premise flows without any obstacle. The film is also supported by a strong ensemble that includes J.K. Simmons, Camila Mendes and June Squibb. Released during the pandemic, it is one of the best films of 2020.

The Academy Has Decided
Your Perfect Film Is…

Your answers have pointed to one Oscar Best Picture winner above all others. This is the film that was made for the way your mind works.

Advertisement

Parasite

You are drawn to films that operate on multiple levels simultaneously — that begin in one genre and quietly, brilliantly migrate into another. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite is a film about class, desire, and the architecture of inequality that manages to be darkly funny, deeply suspenseful, and genuinely shocking across a single extraordinary running time. Your instinct is for cinema that hides its true intentions until the moment it’s ready to reveal them. Parasite is exactly that — a film that rewards close attention and punishes assumptions, right up to its devastating final image.

Advertisement

Everything Everywhere All at Once

You want it all — and this film gives you all of it. The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most maximalist films ever made: action comedy, multiverse sci-fi, family drama, existential crisis, and a genuinely earned emotional core that sneaks up on you amid the chaos. You are someone who responds to ambition, who doesn’t want cinema to choose between being entertaining and being meaningful. This film refuses that choice entirely. It is overwhelming by design, and its overwhelming nature is precisely the point — because the feeling of being crushed by infinite possibility is exactly what it’s about.

Advertisement

Oppenheimer

You are drawn to cinema on a grand scale — films that understand history not as a backdrop but as a force, and that place their characters inside that force and watch what happens. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is a film about the terrifying gap between what we can do and what we should do, told with the full weight of one of the most consequential moments in human history behind it. You want your films to feel important without feeling self-important — to earn their ambition through sheer craft and the gravity of their subject. Oppenheimer does exactly that. It is enormous, complicated, and refuses easy comfort.

Advertisement

Birdman

You are drawn to films that foreground their own construction — that make the how of the filmmaking part of the what it’s about. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, shot to appear as a single continuous take, is cinema examining itself through the cracked mirror of a fading actor’s ego. You respond to formal daring, to the feeling that a film is doing something that probably shouldn’t be possible. Michael Keaton’s performance and Emmanuel Lubezki’s restless camera create something genuinely unlike anything else — a film that is simultaneously about creativity, relevance, self-destruction, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing if your work means anything at all.

Advertisement

No Country for Old Men

You are drawn to cinema that trusts silence, that refuses to explain itself, and that treats dread as a form of meaning. The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men is a film about the arrival of a new kind of evil — implacable, arbitrary, and utterly indifferent to the moral frameworks we use to make sense of the world. It is one of the most formally controlled films ever made, and its controlled restraint is what makes it so terrifying. You want your films to haunt you, not comfort you. You are not interested in resolution if resolution would be dishonest. No Country for Old Men is honest in a way that most cinema never dares to be.

‘Crazy Rich Asians’ (2018)

Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) travels to Singapore with her boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), expecting a simple trip to meet his family in Crazy Rich Asians. Instead, she discovers that Nick is part of the wealthiest and most influential families in Asia. Rachel is scrutinized by Nick’s family and friends who question whether their world is the right place for her.

Beyond its glamorous world and cultural specificity, the film succeeds in resonating with a global audience. The core story about Rachel’s journey to prove herself to Nick’s family is very compelling and relatable. Director Jon M. Chu is able to translate the cultural customs and traditions for a broad audience, which contributed to the film’s box office success. The movie also marked a significant cultural milestone by featuring a predominantly Asian cast in a major Hollywood romantic comedy. With strong performances from Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan, the film proved that classic romantic comedies can still thrive when paired with fresh perspectives like this.

‘Cha Cha Real Smooth’ (2022)

Cha Cha Real Smooth follows Andrew (Cooper Raiff), a recent college graduate who finds himself uncertain about his future while working as a party host for bar and bat mitzvahs. During one of these parties, he meets Domino (Dakota Johnson), a young mother navigating her own complicated life while raising her autistic daughter. They form a friendship at first but then their relationship becomes deeper.

Combining coming-of-age and romance themes, Cha Cha Real Smooth breaks away from the traditional structure of a rom-com. Instead, it focuses on the messy realities of growing up as well as being an adult with responsibilities. The dialogue is very intimate, which adds to the authenticity of it all. The performances by writer-director Raiff and Johnson further strengthen the film. This film features arguably the best Dakota Johnson performance so far. Its romance feels bittersweet because it recognizes that genuine connections do not always lead to conventional happy endings. The film was a Sundance darling when it premiered, earning the festival’s Audience Award in 2022.

The 1990s Comedy Series That Defined The Decade, Stream Without Netflix

The 1990s Comedy Series That Defined The Decade, Stream Without Netflix

By TeeJay Small
| Published

Today, multi-cam half-hour comedy series have largely gone out of style, with the format looking aged and reminiscent of the 1990s. While many shows maintained this format throughout the golden years of cable television, one of the most defining shows of that era is The Nanny, which ran for six seasons from 1993 through 1999.

If you’re looking for a nostalgic series to instantly transport you back in time to a world of Nintendo 64, mood rings, and pogs, you need to take a moment to binge through a few seasons of this iconic CBS sitcom for yourself.

A 90s Icon

The Nanny was created by series star Fran Drescher and her then-husband Peter Marc Jacobson. It centers on a fictionalized version of Drescher as she takes on the role of a live-in nanny for a trio of adorable wealthy children. As the show’s iconic theme music will explain, Fran originally showed up at the door of the Sheffield family with the intention of selling makeup door to door before falling into the role of a nanny through her style, flair, and compelling presence.

Niles Is The Real Hero

The Nanny

Over the course of six seasons, The Nanny relies on a number of running gags, inside jokes, and catch-phrase humor, each punctuated with the riotous laughter of the live studio audience. The show is heavily dated, with references to decades-old television programs, fourth-wall breaks, and nods to the camera, but in today’s era of sardonic humor and eight-episode seasons, it might be exactly what audiences need.

Personally, I binged the entire series over the last few months with a friend, and we were shocked to see the 50/50 split on jokes that would hold up perfectly for today’s Gen Z audience and jokes that went way over our heads because we would have been babies when these pop culture references germinated.

The Nanny

Much of the humor in The Nanny also requires you to have at least a basic understanding of Fran Drescher’s actual life, as she based a ton of the characters, comedy, and wacky situations on her own personal experience.

A Prototypical Sitcom

Regardless, the barrier for entry on the show is remarkably low, even if you might be left scratching your head at a few jokes while the studio audience laughs themselves into an aneurysm.

The Nanny

Looking back with decades of hindsight, it’s easy to see why The Nanny was such a major hit in its day, as it contains everything that made that quintessentially 90s period of television so great. The show has tons of heart, a lot of sweet moments, and a main character who is equal parts freakishly attractive and unbearably annoying.

Relevant Today Thanks To Fran Drescher

The Nanny

In my opinion, The Nanny is as relevant as ever today, due to the real life exploits of Fran Drescher. For those of you who don’t know, the former sitcom legend stepped into the role of President of SAG-AFTRA back in 2021, and was instrumental in navigating the terms and conditions of the union’s new deal with the major studios during the lengthy 2023 strike.

Today, Fran Drescher is a Hollywood icon, partially for her role as a union leader, and partially due to her instantly recognizable series, which has become a comfort sitcom for millions of viewers around the world.

The Nanny

If you’d like to watch The Nanny today, the series is available to stream on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. The show arguably deserves to be on a 90s sitcom Mount Rushmore alongside Seinfeld, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Frasier.

Disney’s Most Ambitious Failed Star Wars Attraction Is Coming to SDCC

Published

on

Star Wars A New Hope 1977 Poster

This September will officially mark three years since Disney‘s ambitious Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hosted its last passengers at the Walt Disney World Orlando Resort. After opening in March 2022, this lavish hotel, designed like a luxury cruise liner among the stars, lasted only one and a half years before shutting down despite so much promise. Hopes were high for the two-night experience, which offered an immersive live role-playing experience for fans to step aboard the Halcyon, interact with beloved Star Wars characters, hone their skills with a lightsaber, and join the battle between the First Order and the Resistance. However, its execution, while dazzling and impactful for those fortunate enough to experience it, was marred by a sky-high price tag of nearly $5,000 for a couple and $6,000 for families that prevented most customers from ever enjoying it.

While the attraction was understandably grounded in controversy, filmmaker and Star Wars fanatic Carrie Coaplen wanted to capture the real impact for the people who got to go on their own adventure in a galaxy far, far away. She helmed the feature-length documentary Halycon Daze: The Final Voyages of Disney’s Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, a partially Kickstarter-funded exploration into the experience with copious footage from inside the attraction and interviews with the people who made it possible, from designers, actors, and crew to industry experts and the fan community who fell in love with it. It’s meant both as a reflection on everything the Starcruiser was and aimed to be, and the work that elevated it into a brief, yet thrilling way to become immersed in the Star Wars universe. Now, the film, built on the dedicated efforts of fans and researchers, is coming to one of the pop culture events of the year.

Halcyon Daze is officially slated to screen on the first day of San Diego Comic-Con next Thursday, July 23. Not only that, but the feature is also bound for the tabletop-gaming staple Gen Con in Indianapolis the following weekend on Saturday, August 1. It’s a chance to see a fan-focused documentary that has been met with widespread acclaim so far and represents both a community-focused affair and the journey of one filmmaker from casual Star Wars fan to a true diehard. In an official statement, Coaplen expressed her excitement for being able to share the deeply personal passion project on such a big platform. “At its core, Halcyon Daze has always been about the people who made the experience possible and the community that found connection and meaning on the Starcruiser,” she said. “It’s a thrill to bring the film to events like Comic-Con that are really about connecting fans with things they love.”

Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive?
The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars

Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

What kind of threat keeps you up at night?

How do you deal with authority you don’t trust?
Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

Which environment could you actually endure long-term?
Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart?

Your Fate Has Been Calculated
You’d Survive In…

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

Advertisement


The Resistance, Zion

The Matrix

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

Advertisement
  • You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
  • You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
  • You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
  • The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.


The Wasteland

Mad Max

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

Advertisement
  • You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
  • You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
  • You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
  • In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.


Los Angeles, 2049

Blade Runner

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

Advertisement
  • You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
  • In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
  • You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
  • In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.


Arrakis

Dune

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

Advertisement
  • Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
  • You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
  • Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
  • In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.


A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Advertisement
  • You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
  • You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
  • You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
  • In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

‘Halcyon Daze’ Has Already Been Met With Widespread Praise

So far, Halcyon Daze has enjoyed screenings at the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival, Indy Film Fest, and the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival, even earning Best Fan Documentary honors at the latter. The Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation, and Technology has also named it as an official selection and nominated it for Most Innovative Documentary. For lead researcher and producer Carly Kocurek, attending Gen Con next feels particularly fitting because of how Galactic Starcruiser was designed with interactivity in mind. “I first got interested in the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser because of the way it leveraged game design, turning its guests into active participants,” they added in a separate statement. “Bringing the documentary to a gaming celebration like Gen Con feels a little like going back to the beginning of the project.”

Halycon Daze: The Final Voyages of Disney’s Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser screens at San Diego Comic-Con and Gen Con this year on Thursday, July 23, at 9:30 p.m. PT at Grand 6, Marriott Marquis San Diego, and on Saturday, August 1, at 3:30 p.m. ET at Capitol Ballroom III in The Westin Indianapolis, respectively. Additionally, the Flyover Film Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, will also host a screening at the Kentucky Science Center on August 1 at 5 p.m. Members of the team behind the documentary will be in attendance for all three events.

Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti sparked online chatter after allegedly attending Jay-Z’s concert in New York City on Sunday, July 12. The Memphis rapper and Simmons broke up earlier this year. But footage from the final night of shows has fans wondering if they have rekindled.

The video features Simmons and a friend enjoying the music as they sing along. IG Model Tea Room caught a clip of the footage in slow-motion, and it appears as if a man resembling Yo Gotti is in the background just behind Simmons’ right shoulder.

“I had to make a decision,” she said. “Some stuff is better left unsaid. Again, much love and respect to him, he’s doing his thing, I’m happy for him.”

Also, during an appearance on Cam Newton’s ‘Funk Fridays’ podcast last March, Simmons noted that she thought the rapper may not be ready for marriage.

The Sitcom Trope That Makes No Sense But Every Show Does It

The Sitcom Trope That Makes No Sense But Every Show Does It

By Robert Scucci
| Published

For the sake of convenience and continuity, every single sitcom somehow has a soundproof kitchen that’s seemingly located in another dimension where guests can’t hear conversations across an open floor plan. On a technical level, this trope makes sense because erecting an entirely new set for secret conversations to take place would prove to be a cumbersome ordeal. But how much disbelief are we supposed to suspend when sitcom characters like Frasier Crane talk loudly about their guests who are clearly within earshot? 

Magically Sound Proof Kitchens

The only sitcom in recent memory that actually acknowledged this trope during its run was How I Met Your Mother. In the episode “Okay Awesome,” Marshall and Lily are frustrated after inviting their new boring friends, Claire and Austin, over for a wine-tasting party. When Marshall steps into the kitchen to air his grievances about Claire and Austin, it’s revealed that Claire is standing right behind him, having heard every word. It’s a rare instance of a sitcom recognizing that an open-concept apartment doesn’t magically become a private confessional just because somebody crossed into the kitchen.

Even then, it’s implied that if Claire hadn’t breached the kitchen’s threshold, Marshall would have gotten away with his mean-spirited jabs about Claire and Austin’s 30-year fixed mortgage and ultrasound photos. Given how the episode concludes with Marshall and Lily literally climbing out of their bathroom window to meet up with the rest of the gang at the club, “Okay Awesome” didn’t need to lean into the soundproof sitcom kitchen trope because it’s not like they were trying to save face in the first place. If anything, having Claire overhear the entire conversation from the living room would have better sold the joke while poking even more fun at one of television’s oldest unwritten rules.

Pokes Fun At The Concept

From this point forward, we never see Claire or Austin in any significant capacity again, so who cares if their feelings get hurt over some critical commentary when their hosts rudely abandon their own party to meet up with the rest of the gang anyway? Their friendship was clearly doomed regardless, which makes the need for a magically private kitchen feel even more unnecessary.

I’m willing to forgive How I Met Your Mother because it at least acknowledges the absurdity of the trope instead of pretending it isn’t happening. Most sitcoms simply expect us to accept that crossing an invisible line into the kitchen somehow creates a cone of silence, but “Okay Awesome” briefly calls attention to how ridiculous that idea actually is before going right back to business as usual.

The Most Egregious Examples Can Be Found In Frasier

But I can’t say the same thing about Frasier, where Frasier Crane routinely has crucial conversations in his kitchen with his booming baritone voice while his guests sit less than 10 feet away in the living room. One of the most egregious examples of the soundproof sitcom kitchen trope comes in “Daphne Dates a Niles Doppelganger,” when Niles has a complete meltdown over hesitating to tell Daphne how he feels, only to watch her start dating a man who’s practically his exact double.

While the episode implies that conversations taking place in Frasier’s kitchen can’t be heard anywhere else in the apartment, it completely undermines that logic moments later. As Frasier mingles with his guests in the living room, he immediately hears Niles accidentally drop and shatter one of his antique coffee cups in the kitchen (Catherine of Aragon!), proving that sound can, in fact, travel freely between the two rooms. If Niles breaking a coffee cup carries across the apartment, there’s no reason an emotionally distraught Frasier ranting at full volume shouldn’t.

The Rare Exception

If sitcoms are going to use this trope, they should at least commit to it. The kitchen can’t only become a soundproof bunker when the plot demands a private conversation, only for noises to travel freely across the exact same distance moments later. Either sound carries through an open floor plan or it doesn’t.

That’s also why the trope feels less noticeable in sitcoms like Seinfeld and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Those shows thrive on characters openly scheming against one another, insulting each other to their faces, or making no effort to hide their selfish intentions in the first place. When everybody’s already saying the quiet part out loud, there’s far less need for a magically silent kitchen to keep the story moving.

Netflix Assassin Psychological Thriller Series Starts With Perfect First Season

Published

on

killing eve

By Charlene Badasie
| Published

killing eve

The popular British spy thriller Killing Eve is streaming on Netflix. The show is based on Luke Jennings’ Villanelle novel series, with each season led by a different head writer. Phoebe Waller-Bridge handles Season 1, with Emerald Fennell working on Season 2, Suzanne Heathcote on Season 3, and Laura Neal lending her talents to Season 4.

Killing Eve revolves around British intelligence investigator Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) who is tasked with finding a psychopathic assassin named Villanelle (Jodie Comer). As Eve closes in on Villanelle, the pair unexpectedly become obsessed with each other, leading to a complex and dangerous game of cat and mouse filled with a strange kind of mutual admiration.

Season 1

In Season 1, viewers are introduced to a disillusioned Eve who is bored with her role in MI5. After handling an investigation poorly, she is fired. But her fascination with female assassins sees Eve find undercover work with MI6, who are searching for the ruthless international assassin Villanelle and the shadowy criminal organization known as The Twelve.

As Villanelle continues carrying out high-profile hits across Europe, Eve becomes increasingly consumed with catching her. At the same time, Villanelle develops a dangerous fascination with Eve, and their mutual obsession gradually leads them both astray from their original missions.

Season 2

Killing Eve Season 2 sees Eve and Villanelle continue their increasingly complicated relationship following the shocking events of the first season. Separately, Eve works to solve murders orchestrated by The Twelve, while Villanelle continues carrying out deadly assignments for the organization.

But when a new killer is thrown into the mix, both The Twelve and MI6 shift their focus, forcing Eve and Villanelle into an uneasy partnership that further blurs the line between hunter and prey.

Season 3

Season 3 begins six months after the events of the mission in Rome. Traumatized by almost dying at the hands of Villanelle, Eve resigns from MI6, opting for a quiet life instead. Meanwhile, Villanelle is forced to find new means of income after walking away from her role as an assassin for The Twelve while searching for a sense of purpose beyond killing.

Their new status quo is quickly shattered when Villanelle crosses paths with her former Twelve trainer, Dasha, and Eve suffers a devastating personal loss. As both women are pulled back into the orbit of The Twelve, their lives inevitably collide once again.

Season 4

Killing Eve Season 4 sees Eve seeking revenge against The Twelve, while Villanelle desperately tries to leave her violent past behind and become a better person. Despite making compromises, the duo continues to clash over their personal missions and vastly different outlooks on life.

However, their paths eventually converge as they pursue the same elusive target, setting the stage for a tense and emotional series finale that divided fans.

Everyone Loved It Until The End

killing eve

Killing Eve debuted on BBC America in April 2018 and concluded with Season 4 in April 2022. The first three seasons of the show were praised by critics and currently hold impressive Rotten Tomato scores of 96, 92, and 79 percent, respectively. The fourth season received a negative response, with a dreary 52 percent on the review aggregator site.

Viewers were unhappy with the final episode of Killing Eve Season 4 and criticized the show for what some deemed to be queer baiting. Critics felt that the ending was rushed and lacked closure, while the series, in its entirety, failed to deliver a proper conclusion regarding the obsession between Eve and Villanelle that had been central to the story.

Despite the backlash, Killing Eve broke weekly rating records and earned multiple awards. Its list of accolades includes the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series. Sandra Oh won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series (Drama), and Jodie Comer took home a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

Killing Eve is currently streaming on Netflix.

Liam Neeson’s New Action Thriller Looks Like a Brutal ‘The Fugitive’ Meets ‘Taken’ [Exclusive]

Liam Neeson's New Action Thriller Looks Like a Brutal 'The Fugitive' Meets 'Taken' [Exclusive]

Over the past year and change, Liam Neeson has embraced his humorous side. Last year’s The Naked Gun reboot was hailed as one of the standout comedies of 2025, having him carry on the torch for the late Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin Jr. At the start of 2026, Samuel Goldwyn Films also featured him in the horror comedy creature feature Cold Storage with Joe Keery and Sosie Bacon, while, next month, he’ll be reeled in for one final job in the darkly funny crime film 4 Kids Rob a Bank. That doesn’t mean he’s done with the action thriller genre that he’s known and loved for, though.

Announced back in 2024, The Mongoose is set to release on October 30 and will place Neeson in the role of another relatable hero worth rooting for on the worst day of his life. He plays Ryan ”Fang” Flanagan, a decorated war veteran accused of murder, who decides to lead the authorities on a high-octane car chase across the country — think The Fugitive on steroids. As he speeds down the road in a Mustang Shelby Cobra GT 65, an enraptured public watches on, cheering for his escape while his brothers in arms do what they can to help him evade a relentless police pursuit. Ahead of its premiere, Collider can exclusively share the official trailer, showing how he wound up in this mess with nothing left to lose and the world watching his every move.

The footage begins with Flanagan on the road with his ex-wife pleading for him to turn himself in. Remembering his time at war, however, he refuses to be captured again, especially after how this all began. A quick flashback finds him in a hospital with his ex, who’s sporting a nasty bruise after an altercation with her current partner. When Flanagan goes to their home to get her stuff and confront her abuser, things quickly go south, and he gets shot, though his attacker is fatally injured by the fall. Knowing how bad it looks, he chooses the only option he believes he has: to steal one of the man’s cars and go on the run. It kicks off a battle of wits and speed between Flanagan and the police, led by a ruthless Michael Chiklis, who is sparing no expense, man, or arm to take him down, dead or alive. To even the odds, his fellow war veterans, whether they fought in the same conflict or not, run interference as he races towards The Mongoose, his only hope of getting out alive.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned
Your Perfect Partner Is…

Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.

Advertisement

Rambo

Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.

James Bond

Advertisement

Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.

Indiana Jones

Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

John McClane

Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.

Advertisement

Ethan Hunt

Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

Who Else Joins Neeson’s Star-Studded Car Chase in ‘The Mongoose’?

For his first feature, he works with a script by Hit List writer Thompson Evans and a starry supporting group, including Marisa Tomei, Ving Rhames, Marcus Thomas, and Maurice Marvel Meredith.

Critics Slam Meghan Markle’s Milestone Emmy Nomination

Published

Meghan at the One Year to Go event for Invictus Games 2023

Meghan Markle‘s axed Netflix series is up for an Emmy award, and she couldn’t be prouder.

The Duchess of Sussex marked the nomination with a heartfelt post, crafting the perfect response worthy of her royal status.

Although Meghan Markle was beaming with joy over her show’s achievement, some fans and critics had a different reaction to the news.

After the Daytime Emmy nominations were revealed on Tuesday, July 14, Meghan updated her social media feed the following day with a promotional picture of her lifestyle series. The image captured her outdoors, flashing a radiant smile as she held a bouquet of pink flowers.

The words “Create wonder in every moment,” alongside the series’ name, “With Love, Meghan,” were written across the picture. An excited Meghan reacted to the show’s Emmy nomination in the Instagram post’s caption, celebrating the achievement as a joint effort. In her words:

“A huge congratulations to the amazing crew, producers, and team who worked on ‘With Love, Meghan’ on @netflix. We are nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lifestyle Series!”

Fans Call Out The Former Actress’s Emmy Nomination

The Emmys announced Meghan’s show’s nomination on X, revealing that she was up for the Outstanding Lifestyle Series award alongside four other shows. The nominees were “A Different Breed,” “George to the Rescue,” “The Motherhood,” and “The Wizard of Paws.”

The Duchess’s nomination with these shows did not sit well with fans, with some speculating that she bought her way into the list. Someone claimed Meghan failed to make it into the culinary category despite that being the focus of her show and stole the spotlight from shows linked to charitable causes.

Another fan agreed, noting the former actress’s Netflix series had been “mocked, laughed at, ridiculed, [and] talked about all throughout the world.” They added that her show was “the most inauthentic lifestyle show ever made,” dubbing it “a clown show for a clown award.”

“F-ck me, the Emmy nomination can be bought? ‘With Love, Meghan,’ sorry but WTF did you even watch it!? It’s not even accurate; most of the stuff is copied from TikTok,” an X user argued. A fellow critic wondered how a canceled show managed to score an Emmy nomination, alleging that she “clearly bought” her spot.

The Duchess Of Sussex’s Netflix Series Isn’t Up For Season 3

The comments about Meghan’s axed show referenced Netflix’s decision not to move forward with season 3. PEOPLE covered the story in January, reporting that the streaming giant had no plans to continue the lifestyle series after two seasons.

A source broke the news, telling the outlet that a third season was off the table, but it wasn’t a permanent cancellation. They claimed Netflix might consider launching specials or one-off projects tied to the series in the future, as they did in December 2025.

“With Love, Meghan” had a holiday special that launched on December 3, 2025. It was a one-hour festive episode that captured Meghan sharing tips for hosting holiday events. She also revealed more about her life with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The As Ever Founder Cut Ties With The Streaming Platform

When news of the series’ cancellation dropped, Netflix was still a partner in the Duchess’s lifestyle brand, As Ever. She launched the brand with the first season of “With Love, Meghan” in March 2025. Fast forward to March 2026, the duo was no longer a team.

Insiders told The Sun that Meghan had split from Netflix and was happier controlling her brand without the streaming giant. She allegedly felt like her lifestyle line was being “held back” by the platform. Despite their separation as partners, the pair were still “on good terms.”

“It’s a good time for Meghan to have complete control, given recent successes. Netflix has been a good partner, but she’s wanted to go global with the brand for some time,” a source explained. They noted that the former actress’s global expansion was delayed “by the more cautious Netflix team.”

Meghan Markle’s Netflix Partnership Was Allegedly A Lost Cause

Weeks after claims of Netflix and Meghan’s amicable separation as partners, The Blast reported that other sources painted a different narrative. These insiders argued that the streaming platform suffered significant losses from their deal with the Duchess and chose to cut their relationship short.

One source claimed the platform invested millions in their deal with the media personality, but they did not see “a return whatsoever.” There were also claims of Netflix’s team having a hard time on the lifestyle series because they “did not enjoy working with Meghan.”

Although there were claims of tension between the Duchess and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, both sides denied the rumors. Sarandos has been a consistent supporter of the Sussexes, once claiming the million-dollar deal with Prince Harry and his wife was “a big discovery model” for Netflix.
