Related: What Joe Alwyn Has Been Up to Since His Split From Taylor Swift

Hamnet actor Joe Alwyn made sure his 2026 Met Gala attendance was no Shakespearean tragedy.
Alwyn, 35, looked dapper in a Valentino suit styled by Rose Forde on Monday, May 4, at the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art fundraiser for its Costume Institute exhibit.
Alwyn entrusted makeup artist Holly Silius to complete his eye-catching, Roman-style look for fashion’s biggest night, which followed a “Fashion Is Art” dress code.
“You’re going to look at Joe and do a double-take because we want him to look really porcelain,” Silius told Vogue after Alwyn left the Mark Hotel.
Alwyn last attended the Met Gala in 2016, where he was rumored to have met now-ex Taylor Swift. Alwyn and Swift, 36, dated for six years before Us Weekly confirmed their breakup in April 2023.
“I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years,” he told The Times of London in June 2024 — his first comments on the breakup. “That is a hard thing to navigate. What is unusual and abnormal in this situation is that, one week later, it’s suddenly in the public domain and the outside world is able to weigh in.”
Swift and Alwyn broke up in the middle of the pop star’s Eras Tour. She subsequently moved on with Matty Healy, but they called it quits by May 2023. Both splits presumably inspired more than a few cathartic tracks on Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department.
“Tortured Poets album is, like, this purge of just everything bad that I felt for two years,” Swift said in her End of an Eras docuseries, which aired in December 2025. “It was a really rough time in my life, so the songs reflect that [and] feeling like I’m not a person. I’m just this big conglomerate that no one sees as a real human being and, like, especially not men that I date.”
She continued, “I went through two breakups on the first half of this tour, and that’s a lot of breakups actually. The show was what gave me purpose and was what I could use to get me out of bed. The tour has never been the hard thing in my life. The tour has been the thing that has allowed me to find purpose outside of the s*** that was going on in my life. Men will let you down, The Eras Tour never will.”
Swift started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in summer 2023 and the pair got engaged two years later in August 2025. The couple, who are reportedly set to tie the knot this summer, didn’t appear to attend Monday’s Met Gala.

Martha Stewart’s latest glam moment proves the magic is often in the final step. The product behind her smooth, airbrushed finish? The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, a cult-favorite mist that’s become a go-to for locking in makeup while keeping skin looking fresh, not flat. Makeup artist Alex Rutkovskiy spritzed the setting spray on Stewart at the 5th annual King’s Trust Gala in NYC, where her makeup looked seamlessly blended, softly diffused and camera-ready from every angle.
The formula is designed to do more than just “set” — it actively helps fuse makeup layers so everything looks more skin-like. Featuring film-forming polymers that create a breathable veil over makeup, the spray helps makeup stay in place without that tight, stiff feeling some sprays leave behind. At the same time, hydrating ingredients like aloe vera and Japanese green tea work to keep skin feeling comfortable and looking fresh, which is key if you’re wearing makeup for long events or under harsh lighting.

There’s also a subtle smoothing effect that gives skin that soft-focus, almost filtered finish. Instead of emphasizing texture or dryness, the mist helps blur the look of pores and fine lines, which is why it photographs so well — and why it’s often used on red carpets. It doesn’t add shimmer or obvious glow, but it enhances whatever finish you already have, whether that’s dewy, natural or matte.
Amazon shoppers are quick to give this spray a positive review. One 50+ customer raved: “I finally caved and bought the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, and two or three quick spritzes later my mind was blown. My makeup didn’t just ‘stay on’ — it suddenly looked like someone had softly airbrushed my entire face. Powdery patches disappeared, everything blended into my skin like it was my actual complexion and I had this natural, healthy glow that lasted all day long.”
If you’ve been chasing that blurred, long-wear glam that still looks like real skin, this is one of those final-step products that can completely enhance your look!

This week, the landmark superhero satire series The Boys is once again topping the charts on Prime Video, and things are heating up for the show as it approaches the last three episodes of its fifth and final season. Created by Eric Kripke and based on the comics by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the show is a beloved fan-favorite and a critical hit that’s easily one of the most popular superhero franchises of the 21st century, and Season 5 has so far been exactly as bloody, brutal, and glorious as fans would have hoped. But whether you’re all caught up and eagerly awaiting the next episode, or you’re just not that into hyper-violent superhero shows, the streaming platform has many more options for you to explore. Here’s a look at three great shows that we think you should binge on Prime Video this week, including some of the best TV series of all time.
For more recommendations, check out our list of the best shows and movies on Prime Video.
Inspired by J. Robert Lennon‘s 2008 short story “The Rememberer,” Unforgettable is a police procedural series developed by Ed Redlich and John Bellucci that stars Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, a troubled detective with a photographic memory. Using her unique skills, Carrie helps the NYPD crack complex, baffling cases, while simultaneously attempting to uncover the one memory she can’t remember: the death of her sister. The show also stars Dylan Walsh, Michael Gaston, Kevin Rankin, Daya Vaidya, Jane Curtin, Dallas Roberts, and more in key roles.
A unique show in the vast canon of TV procedurals, Unforgettable is a relatively little-known entry that had a troubled production history, being canceled twice by CBS over its first three seasons and then picked up by A&E for a fourth and final installment. While its narrative and stories are quite formulaic, the series does feature a truly intriguing premise and some great performances, particularly by Poppy Montgomery in the central role. And though it never quite became a critical success, the show continues to enjoy a cult following and airs reruns in syndication.
An iconic period drama series, Downton Abbey was created and co-written by Julian Fellowes and revolves around the residents of the titular English country estate. Set between 1912 and 1926, the show follows the changing lives of the Crawley family and their servants in the context of major historical events of the time, like the sinking of the Titanic and the First World War. The ensemble cast includes Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Jessica Brown Findlay, Maggie Smith, Dan Stevens, and many more.
During its six-season run in the 2010s, Downton Abbey was one of the biggest television shows, earning critical and commercial success and becoming a major pop culture phenomenon. A gorgeously produced period drama with engaging characters and storylines, the show has been praised by critics and viewers alike for its writing, direction, costumes, and performances, garnering numerous accolades. After the show’s conclusion, the series further expanded into a multimedia franchise with a sequel film trilogy, the last of which was released in September 2025.
Inspired by H. G. Bissinger’s 1990 book and developed by Peter Berg, Friday Night Lights is a sports drama series that follows a high school football team in the rural West Texas town of Dillon. Starring Kyle Chandler as coach Eric Taylor and Connie Britton as his wife, Tami, the show explores the many issues that plague life in American small towns through the stories of its ensemble. The series cast also stars Gaius Charles, Zach Gilford, Minka Kelly, Adrianne Palicki, Taylor Kitsch, Jesse Plemons, Aimee Teegarden, Michael B. Jordan, and Jurnee Smollett, among others.
A spiritual successor to Berg’s 2004 film of the same name, Friday Night Lights is an engaging and underrated character drama that deals with pressing topics like school funding, racism, substance use, abortion, and more, which earned it highly positive reviews from critics. Though it was never a very big ratings hit, the show is well-remembered as one of the best TV dramas of the 2000s, and many of its cast members would go on to become major stars in later years. The series also earned several accolades, including three Emmys, a Peabody Award, and an NAACP Image Award.

Spaghetti Westerns can best be defined as Westerns that were made in Europe, rather than America, often (but not exclusively) in Italy. So, the term was a bit of a derogatory one, since the sentiment at the time, according to some, was that Westerns made outside the U.S. just weren’t as good, or couldn’t be as good, even though some spaghetti Westerns genuinely could rival American classics like The Searchers, High Noon, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in terms of quality. Actually, those ones aren’t ideal to bring up if you want to contrast American Westerns with spaghetti ones, since those three can be considered at least a little revisionist or subversive.
Maybe it’s accurate to say spaghetti Westerns just pushed things further, and got a little darker (and more realistic) than most American Westerns made around the middle of the 20th century. With that, you get fewer traditional heroes in spaghetti Westerns, so a ranking like the following does have to include some anti-heroes and at least a couple of characters who are kind of rogue-ish, but endearing – or sympathetic – compared to the villains they’re up against. There’s a limit of one character per movie, and also, only traditional spaghetti Westerns will be considered below (it was tempting to have Django Unchained here, since both the title character and Dr. King Schultz qualify as memorable heroes, but that’s more of a homage to spaghetti Westerns than an actual spaghetti Western).
Maybe Keoma is a little underrated, as far as spaghetti Westerns go, and there’s another starring Franco Nero, from a decade earlier, that’s certainly more popular (more on that one in a bit), but this one’s still quite good overall. It’s about the titular character coming home, after fighting in the Civil War, and finding his town is under the control of various nefarious people, so he has to go about resuming fighting, only it’s more personal and everything.
He also has some half-brothers on the other side of the conflict, which makes things a bit dicier and overall darker, befitting the spaghetti Western sub-genre… though they’re also not exactly good people, by any means. Keoma builds to an inevitably violent final act that is the highlight of the movie overall, though it’s still fairly good and generally reliable before then, too, and Nero was undeniably strong in this kind of role.
Just as you can recommend Singin’ in the Rain to people who hate musicals, or The Shawshank Redemption to people who usually stay away from prison movies, you can quite confidently recommend The Good, the Bad and the Ugly to those who usually swear off older Westerns. It’s not one that feels old, by any means, which helps, though 1966 was… (*checks notes*) oh, wow, 60 years ago now. At the time of writing. Could be even longer, depending on the time of reading.
There is a character played by Clint Eastwood who’s technically “the Good,” but he’s not all that good, or at least he’s not the easiest to root for. Also, he’s in the other two movies in the Dollars trilogy, so his time will come. It’s Tuco who’s getting a shout-out here. It might even be a stretch to call him an antihero, since he’s not a very good guy by most standards (his worst misdeeds are said to have happened before the events of the film), but it’s also hard not to like him in a weird sort of way. He’s the underdog, of the three characters referred to in the title, and gets played the most often during the whole chaotic race toward a hidden fortune, so yeah, he’s getting counted as a spaghetti Western sort of hero here. Deal with it.
So, there’s a limit of one character per movie here, but Franco Nero is going to show up in this ranking twice, because 10 years before Keoma, he also played the titular character in Django. You can’t really go past Django, and not just because it was (obviously) a reference point for Django Unchained. The premise here is similar to another spaghetti Western made a couple of years earlier, and that’s also going to be mentioned right below.
Django might not seem like a real hero in a non-spaghetti Western, but he comes into a town with some pretty bad people in it, in this movie, and so he’s worthy of being considered a hero by comparison.
The titular Django might not seem like a real hero in a non-spaghetti Western, but he comes into a town with some pretty bad people in it, in this movie, and so he’s worthy of being considered a hero by comparison. That can be said about a fair few spaghetti Westerns when it comes to the main characters, though Django is admittedly closer to traditional hero territory than Tuco from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Hey, there he is. There’s Clint Eastwood. His first movie as the Man with No Name was A Fistful of Dollars, and it was also something of a star-making role for Eastwood, as far as big-screen appearances were concerned. A Fistful of Dollars was the first movie in the Dollars trilogy, and it’s the one that lets Eastwood be the most outwardly heroic, or at least he’s not kind of upstaged by someone like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’s Tuco, nor the “real” hero of the second movie in the trilogy.
In A Fistful of Dollars, the Man with No Name comes into a town and cleans it up in his own distinct way, a little like Django in Django. Okay, he does clean up the town a little like the main character in Yojimbo, perhaps notoriously so, but judged as an unofficial remake, A Fistful of Dollars is about as good as they get. Eastwood was instantly iconic here, and it was essential in making him forever associated with the Western genre (well, that and his earlier role on the Western TV series, Rawhide).
As previously alluded to, the Man with No Name is sort of outshone in the second of the Dollars trilogy movies, For a Few Dollars More. Eastwood’s character is going after a bandit, and then he crosses paths with someone else who’s after the same individual. His name is Col. Mortimer, and he’s played by Lee Van Cleef, who was also “the Bad” in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, with the two characters being remarkably different.
Mortimer has more of a personal reason for pursuing the main villain in For a Few Dollars More, to say the least, and it’s revealed slowly, making the eventual showdown all the more enthralling. It’s also funny to think about how in Sergio Leone’s version of the Old West, there are two men stomping around who both look exactly the same, albeit with almost opposite personalities, and the Man with No Name rather nonchalantly gets involved with both of them.
Once Upon a Time in the West slowed things down a little, compared to the Westerns Sergio Leone directed before 1968. There’s still tons to like here if you also enjoyed the Dollars trilogy movies, but no Eastwood here, and things are probably a bit more somber than that trilogy ever got. That being said, you do get perhaps the most clear-cut hero of any Sergio Leone movie: Jill, who’s made a widow early on and finds herself targeted by the man responsible for (nearly) making her lose everything. His name’s Frank, and he wants her land.
Henry Fonda might well come the closest to stealing the show, as the villain here, but Claudia Cardinale is also amazing as Jill, and stands out for being a Western female protagonist; something that’s even rarer for spaghetti Westerns than Westerns generally. Also, an honorable mention does have to go out to Harmonica (Charles Bronson), who’s far more mysterious and perhaps ruthless enough to be more of an anti-hero, but he’s still heroic compared to Frank (who he’s targeting for his own vengeance-fueled reasons).
Released the same year as Once Upon a Time in the West, The Great Silence is probably the best spaghetti Western not directed by Sergio Leone, instead being helmed by Sergio Corbucci, who was also behind the aforementioned Django. The main character of The Great Silence is mute, so he’s only really known as “Silence,” and he has a tragic past, not to mention a potentially tragic future, seeing as he goes up against remarkably cruel bounty hunters who are all targeting more sympathetic individuals.
There’s more that can be said about The Great Silence for sure, and to say too much would be undermining a good deal of what the film’s most famous for (if it counts as famous; The Great Silence still feels pretty underrated, even with people re-evaluating it decades on from its release). There’s a real savageness to this film that still hits quite hard, but its central character is undeniably heroic, even if you could see him as reckless for being so frequently outgunned.

Something I have written about extensively before is how hard it is to find a good horror comedy because these films end up being either too funny to be scary or too scary to be funny. Rare indeed are the spooky films that can make you scream with laughter and cry out in fear, often in the same scene. Those are the films I treasure the most, and if you’re ready to bite into something both gloriously grisly and fatally funny, it’s time to stream Jennifer’s Body on Netflix.
Jennifer Body is, out of nowhere, rocketing up the Netflix streaming charts. People are rediscovering this cult classic en masse this week, with the film currently ranking among the top ten most watched movies on the streamer.

The premise of Jennifer’s Body is that the titular Jennifer is a small high school’s resident mean girl who survives a fire at a dive bar but comes back different. Specifically, she comes back with an unquenchable desire to kill and eat men thanks to a pesky demon possession (hey, it happens to the best of girls). The only one who suspects something is amiss is her best friend, but unless this meek girl can find the inner fortitude necessary to stop her bloodlusting bestie, the entire town is in danger of becoming one big, Satanic feast.
The cast of Jennifer’s Body is surprisingly stacked, including Amanda Seyfried (the Oscar-nominated actor known best for Mean Girls and Les Misérables) as the best friend whose friend develops a bad case of resting demon face. Also starring in the film are two very different Marvel stars: J.K. Simmons (whom Marvel fans know best for portraying J. Jonah Jameson in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films) and Chris Pratt (known to MCU fans everywhere for portraying Guardians of the Galaxy lead Star-Lord). Even genre legend Lance Henriksen (who I will always remember best for the movie Aliens and the TV show Millennium) pops up near the end of the movie.

Those are just a few of the killer stars in Jennifer’s Body, but the best performance comes from leading lady Megan Fox, best known outside of this film for her starring role in the first two live-action Transformers movies. Jennifer has a deliciously devil-may-care attitude even before the demon possession, and afterward, Fox perfectly embodies both the character’s seductive charm and her insatiable thirst for blood. She’s every man’s dream and every man’s nightmare all rolled into one, and her performance will keep your eyes glued to the screen even as it makes your skin try to crawl right off your body.
Aside from Megan Fox’s performance (seriously, this is her best role ever, and I say that as the world’s biggest Transformers fan), Jennifer’s Body has a secret weapon: it was written by Diablo Cody, the whip-smart writer who penned the iconic film classic Juno. This horror movie unapologetically centers on the experiences of women, and arguably nobody writes women like Cody, which leads to some scary lines that perfectly channel the feminine rage of the modern American woman.

To the rightful accusation “you’re killing people!”, Jennifer coolly responds, “No, I’m killing boys,” which outlines her murderous ethos while cleverly dehumanizing men in the same way that dude bros (both in the film and in the real world) constantly dehumanize women. Before you throw anything at me, the movie is far from “woke,” and the message never gets in the way of the plot. Rather, the sexual politics undergirding this film add a level of cultural resonance while making this bloody film a cut above most other horror movies.
Unfortunately, critics often hate horror movies, and Jennifer’s Body (despite all its clever subversion) is no exception. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 46 percent, with critics complaining that the movie’s clever dialogue didn’t make up for it being neither funny nor scary enough. With respect to these critics, they are completely wrong: the dialogue alone fills this movie with one laugh-out-loud moment after another, and Megan Fox’s performance makes for frightening scenes that you’ll think about long after the credits roll.

Will you agree that Jennifer’s Body is a modern horror classic, or will you agree with the critics that this demonic romp needed a little more time in Satan’s oven (Hell: the ultimate Easy-Bake)? You won’t know until you stream it on Hulu and experience all the devilish dialogue and cannibalistic charisma for yourself.
Afterward, you can join me and the rest of this cult classic’s fan club (there are dozens of us… dozens!) in hoping that this overlooked horror gem eventually gets its long-overdue sequel.

JENNIFER’S BODY REVIEW SCORE
By Britta DeVore

Them is an anthology horror series that uses familiar genre setups as a delivery system for something more grounded and uncomfortable. Each season tells a standalone story centered on a Black family or character being pushed into a hostile environment, where the real threat isn’t just supernatural, it’s systemic.
Them: The Scare was the second season of the show, but shares none of the characters with the first. Deborah Ayorinde returned to a different role following her breakout season. It topped the first season in every way. Them: The Scare sits on Rotten Tomatoes with an impressive 100 percent on the Tomatometer.

The eight-episode series, which is available to binge now on Amazon’s streamer, is the second to come from the story started by creator Little Marvin, who developed 2021’s Them: The Covenant.
Them: The Covenant took place in the early 1950s, and focused on a black family who uprooted their life in North Carolina and struck out for the big city of Los Angeles, regrowing their roots in a predominantly white neighborhood. Them: The Scare pushes the story nearly 40 years into the future.
In this future, audiences meet Ayorinde’s LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve. While on her mission to track down the killer of a murdered foster mother, Detective Reeve’s life is made that much more complicated when a sinister force clings to her family and won’t let go. Both The Covenant and The Scare see their main characters calling Los Angeles home.

Like the first season, the show blends grounded violence with supernatural suggestion. It uses horror imagery to explore trauma, racism, and psychological collapse rather than relying purely on traditional genre scares.
Along with Deborah Ayorinde, Them: The Scare also features a call sheet that includes the legendary Pam Grier (Jackie Brown), Luke James (The Chi), and Jeremy Bobb (The Outsider).

Critically, The Scare marked a noticeable rebound for the series. The first season had drawn mixed reactions for what many saw as excessive brutality and uneven storytelling. Season two landed far more cleanly with reviewers.
Them: The Scare holds a 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, with consensus describing it as a “marked improvement” that delivers more focused storytelling and sharper thematic execution. Some critics praised its performances and layered approach to generational trauma, while others still argued it struggled to fully balance its social commentary with its horror mechanics.
Audience response was more split, but generally positive. Viewer scores sit in the mid-to-high range (around the mid-80% level), with many calling it more accessible and engaging than the first season, particularly for its pacing and clearer narrative. At the same time, some viewers criticized the serial killer storyline as underdeveloped or the ending as underwhelming, continuing the show’s pattern of divisive reactions.

Right now, the future of Them is basically in limbo. There is no official Season 3 renewal, no release date, and no confirmation that more episodes are coming. The show was originally ordered as a two-season project, which means The Scare is the first time it’s had to prove itself on its own in terms of viewership and engagement.
At the same time, the creator, Little Marvin, has made it clear he has ideas and wants to keep going, so creatively, there’s no shortage of runway. The deciding factor now is purely business: how well Season 2 performed and whether Amazon thinks the audience is big enough to justify another anthology story.
Brooks Nader may have been absent from the 2026 Met Gala, but she was sure to share her support for sister Grace Ann Nader.
“PROUD SISSY!” Brooks, 29, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, May 4, tagging Grace Ann, 25, while reposting an image of her on the red carpet.
In a separate Instagram Story, Brooks shared a picture of herself sipping from a glass while seemingly outside of a pizzeria. “Meanwhile … me,” Brooks wrote, alongside laughing and pizza emojis.
Grace Ann was all smiles while dressing for the “Costume Art” theme during her debut at Monday’s fundraiser at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. She stunned in a black strapless gown with a sheer corset, styling her hair down in loose waves.
Brooks, meanwhile, has been making headlines for months, with her love life, her sense of style and her flourishing career becoming hot topics of conversation. News broke in March that she will star in the upcoming Baywatch reboot on Fox.
“I think that the times are different, and everyone is so multihyphenate now, and you can be both an actor and an influencer and have influence,” she told the Daily Mail at the time. “And that’s the beauty of the culture that social media has created.”
Of the cast, which also includes Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell, Livvy Dunne and Noah Beck, Brooks added, “I think that there’s so many platforms and voices that are on the show, in the cast, and I think it’ll only help the series.”
As for how she felt when she landed the role, Brooks recalled, “It was the biggest pinch-me moment of my career.”
“I feel like this is my first big acting gig, and so I’m excited to show people what I can do and obviously big shoes to fill,” she continued. “Baywatch [was] such an iconic series, and we have such a stacked cast of amazing talent. And so I know everyone’s gonna love it. It’s amazing.”
In April, Brooks revealed how the Baywatch gig has shaken up her routine for the better.
“I’m eating a lot healthier and I’m not partying as much, which, you know me, that’s pretty hard,” she exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “But I’m doing it, and I’m working out a lot and taking care of my mind, body, that whole situation. So, it’s a new era, a good one.”
Brooks has also been in the news for her burgeoning relationship with Taron Egerton, to whom she was linked in March after the pair were spotted kissing in California.
“Brooks and Taron have gone out on several dates recently and she is very into him,” a source exclusively told Us in April. “They are casually dating and hooking up. It is still new but he is someone that has definitely caught her eye and kept her interested.”
According to the insider, Brooks and Egerton, 36, “hit it off immediately” when they met while “out with friends” in Los Angeles.
“Brooks doesn’t want to be tied down right now but is definitely enjoying time with him and seeing where things go,” the source said. “He is very charming and she likes that he is a gentleman.”
Kandi Burruss just shook up timelines after popping out with a fresh NEW look. Folks online are handing her 10’s, while the girlies said they’re seated and taking notes because they want to step out looking just as good as Kandi this summer.
On Sunday, May 3, Kandi Burruss had all eyes on her when she dropped a fresh set of photos on Instagram. The former ‘RHOA’ star popped out looking good, posing in a neutral off-the-shoulder mini dress with a fur shawl draped across the front. Kandi let the look speak for itself, keeping it simple with a high ponytail, soft glam, and strappy sandals. She told fans she couldn’t think of a caption, and they definitely stepped in — dropping fire emojis and saying she ate and left no crumbs!
After The Shade Room posted Kandi’s pics, the comment section was flooded! Several Roomies said they loved her new look and felt she gave ‘Escape’ era vibes, while others said she didn’t even need a caption because she came through snatched and serving, and that’s all that mattered!
Instagram user @liqhtskin_beautyyy wrote, “Oh 😍 She looks so good 🔥”
Instagram user @itstamar_ahh wrote, “She looks great and I love the high ponytail with this look 🔥🔥🔥”
While Instagram user @rclifford1025 wrote, “No caption needed🔥”
Then Instagram user @msadams84 wrote, “Reminds me of her X-Scape days 😍”
Another Instagram user @theylovecha wrote, “This is fye 🔥”
Instagram user @inkmychina69 wrote, “Best she’s ever look.”
Then another Instagram user @big_mittenz_sista_ wrote, “Tell em Body & The Face Tea ain’t nun else to Clock 🔥”
Finally, Instagram user @prettybrownone1 wrote, “Been that 😍🔥”
Kandi didn’t just take over timelines with her photos; she spun the block and dropped another flick featuring her daughter, Riley Burruss. Riley posed right beside her mom in a cream bustier top, a sheer skirt, and slouchy boots. The pics had fans seeing double and screaming mother-daughter goals.
What Do You Think Roomies?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is filled with colorful supervillains, but no matter how strong these foes are, our heroes always come out on top. The same can’t be said for the MCU as a whole, though. After the blockbuster success of Avengers: Endgame, Disney+ introduced a firehose of content in the form of one new show after another. This ushered in the one villain the MCU itself could never defeat: superhero fatigue. Revenues went down, some ventures lost money, and fans and execs alike were left asking the same question: Is Marvel ever going to be as popular as it once was?
Last year, there was a glimmer of hope. Daredevil: Born Again brought the fan-favorite Netflix hero back for brand new adventures where he once again clashed with the Kingpin. Hopes rallied around this new show, and Marvel Studios decided to use its second season as a launchpad to bring other beloved characters (like Jessica Jones) back into the fold. Sadly, the comeback has already failed: despite all the hype and all the hope, viewership for Daredevil: Born Again has dropped by more than 50 percent.

This news comes to us from ComicBook.com. They trawled through Luminate data and discovered some sobering numbers. In its first five weeks, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 had “4,515,000 season views, 10,867,000 hours watched, and 652,000,000 minutes watched.” That may sound good on paper, but as it turns out, Season 1 had “8,357,000 season views, 24,000,000 hours watched, and 1,440,004,000 minutes watched.” That means that the second season of this hit show had 46 percent fewer total viewers and a decline of more than 54 percent in total hours watched.
The pattern is very consistent, with every episode of Season 2 getting about half of the fan engagement as each corresponding Season 1 episode. That leads to the obvious question: why the sudden drop? Based on other metrics, it doesn’t seem like this is a reaction to fans hating Season 1. That premiere season of Daredevil: Born Again has an 87 percent critical score on Rotten Tomatoes; meanwhile, Season 2 has (so far) an 88 percent critical score. Interestingly, the audience score for Season 1 was 78 percent, but the audience score for Season 2 is, as of this writing, 87 percent.

It’s normal for shows (especially hit shows) to lose some viewers from season to season as more casual fans find newer, shinier shows to glom onto. However, losing over half your audience from season to season is downright catastrophic, and it seems like a seriously bad sign for Daredevil: Born Again. As ComicBook.com points out, the second season failed to break the Nielsen Top 10 for streaming, which is something that both Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law managed to do. If Marvel’s hit new show can’t draw as many viewers as its most controversial ones, the MCU is in serious trouble!
For better or for worse, though, the show will go on. Production has already begun on Daredevil: Born Again Season 3, which will reunite the Defenders from the Netflix-era of Marvel. Meanwhile, Defender and Born Again guest star Krysten Ritter is (according to Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum) likely going to headline a new project very soon. These future projects may very well get a boost from Avengers: Doomsday, the ambitious blockbuster that is premiering later this year. That movie is Marvel’s biggest, most expensive effort at combating superhero fatigue, and the plan to reignite the fandom is so crazy it just might work.

If it doesn’t work, though? The failure of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will be seen as the canary in the coal mine for the death of the most ambitious cinematic universe ever created.
