As spring calendars fill with garden parties, travel plans and long afternoons spent outdoors, finding sandals that actually balance comfort and style can feel surprisingly difficult. Too often, warm-weather shoes look chic but leave your feet begging for relief by lunchtime. Martha Stewart’s latest outfit, however, proved that comfy spring sandals really can deliver both.

While out in New York City on April 29, 2026, Stewart stepped out in a bright lime green sweater, skinny jeans and a structured black tote. But it was her surprisingly chic Crocs Soho Y-Strap Sandals that really caught our attention. The neutral-toned sandals added an easy, practical finish — and they’re now on sale for just $45 on Amazon.

If you’ve been assuming Crocs are limited to garden clogs, Stewart’s look may change your mind. The Soho Y-Strap style features a sleek, minimalist silhouette with slim straps and a supportive sole that looks far more refined than traditional comfort sandals. They’re the kind of versatile spring shoe that pairs just as easily with denim as they do breezy dresses or linen trousers.

Several reviewers also note that they’re “wide foot friendly,” while others love how effortlessly they blend into everyday wardrobes. With more than comfortable construction and stylish versatility, it’s easy to see why Stewart reached for them.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Jane Austen novel in possession of a good legacy must be in want of an adaptation. Such has been the case for Austen’s most acclaimed and popular work, Pride and Prejudice, which has received countless adaptations, from a classic Hollywood black-and-white drama to a BBC miniseries to a millennial cottagecore rom-com to even a zombie horror comedy. Most of these efforts range between “great” and “solid,” but few actually have something meaningful to say about Austen’s seminal novel.

Luckily, The Other Bennet Sister isn’t “most” adaptations; in fact, it’s among the rare ones that approach its source material with reverence, but its much-welcome sense of independence allows it to feel refreshing and, far more importantly, timely. The show premieres with its first three episodes May 6 on the criminally underappreciated streaming service BritBox, and it’s a must-watch, not only for hardcore Janeites or those who crave Regency romance as if it were oxygen, but for anyone who appreciates a beautifully crafted and exceptionally executed story.

What Is ‘The Other Bennet Sister’ About?

As the title implies, The Other Bennet Sister centers on Mary (Ella Bruccoleri), the most overlooked of the five Bennet sisters from Pride and Prejudice. Introverted and often disregarded by her family, Mary attempts to take control of her own story, much to the annoyance of her mother, Mrs. Bennet (Ruth Jones), and the loving indifference of her father, Mr. Bennet (Richard E. Grant). Through her distinct and invigorating perspective, we see the well-known events of Pride and Prejudice before the series’ story sends her on a journey of self-discovery to London, where she experiences the kindness of her relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner (Richard Coyle and Indira Varma), and might even encounter love for the first time.

Based on the eponymous novel by Janice Hadlow, The Other Bennet Sister also stars Dónal Finn as Tom Hayward, a close friend of the Gardiners who becomes crucial to Mary’s journey, and Laurie Davidson as Mr. Ryder, a free-spirited bachelor who catches Mary’s eye. Most of the main players in Pride and Prejudice also appear, including Mary’s four sisters, Jane (Maddie Close), Lizzie (Poppy Gilbert), Lydia (Grace Hogg-Robinson), and Kitty (Molly Wright). Mr. Collins (Ryan Sampson) and Charlotte Lucas (Anna Fenton-Garvey) play prominent roles, as does Caroline Bingley (Tanya Reynolds), Charles Bingley’s haughty sister and a minor antagonist in Pride and Prejudice, who becomes Mary’s main rival here.

‘The Other Bennet Sister’s Cast Makes the Series Soar

From the get-go, it’s clear that the main strength of The Other Bennet Sister is its outstanding cast. At the center of it all is an incandescent Bruccoleri as Mary, a remarkable period heroine and a true breath of fresh air. In many ways, Mary is less a reinvention of the classic Austen heroine and more of a logical progression of the archetype. She is shy, clumsy, and more than a little awkward, the type of character that many would consider “autistic-coded,” yet she’s also bold and, in her way, adventurous. While Mary is afraid to open herself up to new possibilities, she does so nonetheless — not because others compel her to, but because she wants to.

The Other Bennet Sister is, at its core, a wallflower story, but Mary is free of the tropes that permeate that subgenre. There’s no makeover here, no magical transformation that brings her out of her comfort zone and into the spotlight; Mary embraces herself, quirks and all. More importantly, she isn’t married to any notion of either life-altering romance or hopeless spinsterhood, while actively pursuing love; she tries, is disappointed, tries again, and dares to believe she can indeed find a match. It’s so invigorating to see a character like Mary, so honest and relatable, in a romantic period drama, not as the best friend or the comic relief, but as the object of attention and desire.

If Mary is the logical next step for an Austen heroine, then Dónal Finn’s Mr. Hayward is an Austen leading man to a tee. He has all the bumbling charm of Edward Ferrars, the witty intellectualism of Henry Tilney, and the silent longing of Frederick Wentworth. If you like soft, enchanting leading men who are just the right amount of pathetic, you’ll love this guy. Gallant, shy, and just as awkward as Mary, Tom Hayward might just be the best period romance leading man we’ve had since Matthew Macfadyen‘s Mr. Darcy, complete with his own version of the hand flex (who knew forearms could be so appealing?). After being a highlight in the latter two seasons of the cruelly canceled The Wheel of Time and outright stealing this year’s Young Sherlock, it’s great to see Finn receive some much-deserved recognition.

The rest of the cast is uniformly great, too. Coyle and Varma are simply exceptional as the Gardiners, Mary’s de facto fairy godmothers. Davidson’s free-spirited Mr. Ryder is a wonderful sparring partner to Mary, and the familiar but underrated Tanya Reynolds is a riot as the loathsome Caroline Bingley. Perhaps most surprising is how the show reframes the classic characters of Mr. Collins and Charlotte Lucas, two of Pride and Prejudice‘s biggest punching bags. Particularly inspired is the series’ version of Mr. Collins, often depicted as absurd at best and outright pitiful at worst. Here, he’s just a misunderstood man trying to find love and understanding, and his unexpected connection with Mary is among the show’s many highlights.

‘The Other Bennet Sister’ Takes a Bold Creative Swing With the Bennets

Image via Britbox

If there’s an element that is bound to be divisive, it’s The Other Bennet Sister‘s depiction of the titular family. In Pride and Prejudice, the Bennets are somewhat embarrassing but largely respectable and loving to each other. Here, those dynamics are altered. On the page, Mary is indeed the odd one out; Jane and Lizzie are best friends, and so are Kitty and Lydia, meaning Mary is often ignored by everyone in the household. The Other Bennet Sister takes that to the next level, where many members of the Bennet family are actively unkind toward Mary.

This approach isn’t inherently good or bad; it’s just what fits best for this story, yet one can’t help but suspect that Austen purists will feel betrayed. The other four Bennet sisters are mostly true to their roles in Austen’s story, except for Lydia, who assumes a more antagonistic role. The biggest change comes with the show’s depiction of Mrs. Bennet. In Pride and Prejudice, the Bennet matriarch is loud, abrasive, frivolous, and melodramatic but mostly harmless and well-meaning towards her daughters. In The Other Bennet Sister, she’s an outright villain and actively mistreats Mary to the point of bordering on actual cruelty. In short, she’s less Mrs. Bennet and more Lady Tremaine, a change that’s bound to ruffle some feathers.

Overall, though, The Other Bennet Sister is nothing short of a triumph. Its aesthetic is classic Regency drama, but with a welcome splash of color that feels lively without entering into anachronistic territory. Narratively, it’s a beautiful and winning story with just enough edge to feel modern while still offering everything a romance fan could want. Thematically, it’s the type of story that only takes a few rewatches to become a proper feel-good classic, and there’s also genuine heat, filmed through a distinctive female-gaze approach that makes it all the more effective. The Other Bennet Sister is the show you’ve been waiting for but didn’t know you needed, the perfect offering for these dark times, and a prime example of how timeless and irresistible the period romance subgenre can be when it’s actually done right.

Kylie Jenner continues to prove that beauty is pain, and sometimes ruined facial features!

The socialite sparked mixed reactions on social media platforms after her bold choice for this year’s Met Gala.

She took the dress code “Fashion is Art” quite seriously, going all out with her outfit and makeup. However, Kylie Jenner was in for a shock after the event.

The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” alum updated fans on her Instagram Story after the prestigious fashion event, revealing she had paid a price for her bold fashion statement. The video captured Kylie unable to stop laughing at herself.

She showcased her eyebrows, which appeared to have been damaged after getting bleached to match her skin for the event. In the clip, Kylie had one eyebrow that had been successfully bleached back to black, but it appeared thinner than it used to be.

“My brows are ruined. What is this? What the f-ck is this?” Kylie asked in between giggles. “This looks horrible,” she declared while someone in the background could be heard laughing and blaming Kylie’s celebrity hairstylist, Iggy Rosales, for leaving her with “no hair.”

The Socialite Opted For A Nude Illusion Ensemble 

For the annual Met Gala, Kylie used her body as a canvas to express her artistic side, as seen in pictures shared on her Instagram page. She stepped out in a sexy yet bold ensemble that gave off the illusion of a dress being taken off, with a voluminous, embellished satin skirt hanging from her waist.

Kylie was fully committed to the half-dressed look, rocking a nude corset with faux nipples and a belly button indentation. She also bleached her brows to match her skin, giving off the illusion that she had shaved off her eyebrows, while her hair fell down one shoulder in grateful waves.

The custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture ensemble impressed some fans, who believed she had embodied the “Fashion is Art” dress code perfectly. On the other hand, some fans argued that Kylie’s nude illusion had gone too far and was not Met Gala worthy.

Fans Were Divided Over The TV Personality’s Bold Ensemble

Fans shared their thoughts about Kylie’s outfit on X, with one supporter raving about her perfect ensemble. “Honestly, this look just hits. The fit, the fabric, the way the train moves — everything feels effortless,” they wrote. Another agreed, declaring:

“Definitely my favorite outfit. I love the way the top blends in with her skin.”

A third applauded Kylie, comparing her outfit to a Greek statue. On the other hand, critics were not impressed and slammed the reality TV star’s fashion statement as a flop. “What a stupid outfit! She’s so thirsty!” someone claimed. An X user echoed similar sentiments, wondering why Kylie had bleached her eyebrows.

More About The Kylie Cosmetics Founder’s Bold Met Gala Look

Kylie’s celebrity hairstylist, Iggy Rosales, opened up about her Met Gala outfit in an interview with Vogue. He explained that the goal of the custom Schiaparelli outfit was to give the illusion of a dress slipping away and make Kylie look like “a living sculpture.”

To achieve the illusion, Rosales experimented with different eyebrow looks before settling on bleaching Kylie’s brows to match her skin. “We even tested no brows just to see how far we could push it,” the hairstylist revealed.

Rosales wanted a similar effect as the dress with Kylie’s hair, noting he wanted “tension between something sculpted and something undone.” He styled the entertainer’s hair in curly waves, allowing the midsection to have more precise shaping around the face, and a kiss-curl over the eye area.

Kylie Jenner Is No Stranger To Post Met Gala Hiccups

Kylie’s bleached eyebrow drama isn’t the first time her fashion statements have caused undesirable aftermaths. Last year, she attended the annual fashion event in a sleek, futuristic Ferragamo ensemble that gave off corseted elegance.

She complemented the stunning look with a pair of strappy stilettos that later became the price she had to pay for beauty. After the event, HOLA! reported that Kylie had shared her woes on Instagram, revealing the shoes were stuck to her feet.

Kylie had shared a video of her assistants spraying glue release on the shoes while trying to pry her feet out. The process appeared painful, as the reality TV star could be heard wincing. As for what happened, Kylie explained that Ferragamo’s creative director, Maximilian Davis, had advised her to tape her shoes to her feet.

Was Kylie Jenner’s Met Gala look worth ruining her eyebrows?

2026 has been a massive year for Prime Video so far, but the success it has seen this year dates back to the end of 2025. On December 16, 2025, Prime Video debuted the long-awaited second season of Fallout, its hit sci-fi series based on the popular video game franchise of the same name. Prime Video was so confident that Fallout was going to perform that the show was renewed for Season 3 months before an episode of Season 2 hit the air. Prime Video is also fresh off the success of the fourth season of Invincible, which just went off the air a few weeks ago. After a considerable gap between the first and second seasons, though, Prime Video has since righted the ship and released new seasons of Invincible at a much quicker pace since Season 2 — Season 5 is already confirmed to premiere in 2027.

However, one show that’s been on the air longer than both Fallout and Invincible is The Boys, the hit superhero series that tackles a much more realistic take on what superheroes would be like in the real world. The Boys arrived back in 2019, and the show has consistently put out new seasons every year or two. At the conclusion of Season 4 back in 2024, Prime Video renewed The Boys for Season 5, confirming that it would be the show’s final season. There are now only a few episodes remaining in The Boys Season 5, but Prime Video just made a game-changing announcement for the series. The Boys series finale is officially coming to theaters on May 19, one day before the final episode is set to air on Prime Video. A new poster has also been released to celebrate the announcement.

TEST YOUR SURVIVAL →

01

You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do?
The first instinct is often the truest one.

APull on every thread until I understand the system — then figure out how to break it.
BStop asking questions and start stockpiling — food, fuel, weapons. Questions don’t keep you alive.
CKeep my head down, observe carefully, and trust no one until I know who’s pulling the strings.
DStudy the patterns. Every system has a rhythm — learn it, and you learn how to survive it.
EFind the people fighting back and join them. You can’t fix a broken galaxy alone.

02

In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely?
What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.

AKnowledge. If you understand the system, you don’t need resources — you can generate them.
BFuel. Everything else — movement, power, escape — runs on it.
CTrust. In a world of fakes and informants, a truly reliable ally is rarer than any commodity.
DWater. And after water, information — the two things empires are truly built on.
EShips and credits. The galaxy is big — you survive it by being able to move through it freely.

03

What kind of threat keeps you up at night?
Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

AThat reality itself is a lie — that everything I experience has been constructed to keep me compliant.
BA raid. No warning, no mercy — just the roar of engines and then nothing left.
CBeing identified. Once someone with power decides you’re a problem, you’re already out of time.
DBeing outmanoeuvred — losing a political game I didn’t even know I was playing.
EThe Empire tightening its grip until there’s nowhere left to run.

04

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

ASubvert it from the inside — learn its rules well enough to weaponise them against it.
BIgnore it and stay out of its reach. The further from any power structure, the better.
CAppear to comply while doing exactly what I need to do. Visibility is the enemy.
DManoeuvre within it carefully. You can’t beat a system you refuse to understand.
EResist openly when I have to. Some things are worth the risk of being seen.

05

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

AUnderground bunkers and server rooms — cramped, artificial, but with access to everything that matters.
BOpen wasteland — brutal sun, no shelter, constant movement. At least the threat is honest.
CA dense, rain-soaked city where you can disappear into the crowd and nobody asks questions.
DMerciless desert — extreme heat, no water, and something enormous living beneath the sand.
EThe fringe — backwater planets and busy spaceports where the Empire’s attention rarely reaches.

06

Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart?
The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

AA tight crew of believers who’ve seen behind the curtain and have nothing left to lose.
BOne or two people I’d trust with my life. Any more than that and someone talks.
CNobody, ideally. Alliances are liabilities. I work alone unless I have no choice.
DA community bound by shared hardship and mutual survival — people who need each other to last.
EA ragtag team with wildly different skills and total commitment when it counts.

07

Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all?
Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

AI won’t harm the innocent — even the ones who’d report me without hesitation.
BI do what I have to to protect the people I’ve chosen. Everything else is negotiable.
CThe line shifts depending on who’s asking and what’s at stake.
DI draw a long-term line — nothing that compromises my people’s future, even if it’d help now.
ESome lines, once crossed, can’t be uncrossed. I know which ones they are.

08

What would actually make survival worth it?
Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

AWaking others up — dismantling the illusion so no one else has to live inside it.
BFinding somewhere — or someone — worth protecting. A reason to keep moving.
CAnswers. Understanding what I am, what any of this means, before time runs out.
DLegacy — shaping the future in a way that outlasts me by generations.
EFreedom — for myself, for others, for every world still living under someone else’s boot.

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.

The Resistance, Zion

The Matrix

Advertisement

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

Advertisement

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

• 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

Advertisement

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.

• 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.

What’s Happening in ‘The Boys’ Season 5 Right Now?

The latest events in The Boys Season 5 have Homelander (played by Antony Starr) and his father, Soldier Boy (played by Jensen Ackles), racing against The Boys to find V1. The original Compound V formula not only produced the strongest supes when it was first invented, but it also made those who could survive it completely immortal. If Homelander gets his hands on V1, there’s no one or nothing that can stop him from killing whoever he wants. The Boys aim to use a supe-killing virus to take him out before he can acquire the ultimate upgrade.

Beth and Rip have never exactly been the kind of couple you’d expect to settle quietly into a peaceful life, and honestly, thank God for that. After everything they survived in Montana, the dream of a clean fresh start always felt slightly optimistic, if not completely delusional. There are some people who carry trouble with them like luggage, and these two have basically packed an entire emotional moving truck. Now, the next chapter of the Yellowstone universe is almost here, and the official trailer makes one thing very clear: peace will have to wait.

The official trailer for Dutton Ranch is out now, with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser returning as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. The new Paramount+ Original Series premieres globally on Paramount+ on Friday, May 15, with its first two episodes. The series will also premiere on Paramount Network the same day at 8 p.m. ET/PT, also with two episodes, before continuing weekly throughout the season.

The new series finds Beth and Rip staking their claim in Rio Paloma, Texas, where they’re trying to build a future together away from the poisoned Dutton legacy of Montana. Obviously, because this is Beth and Rip, that future doesn’t stay quiet for long. They can’t help themselves, can they? The official synopsis teases a brutal new chapter for the couple, as they face new enemies who might just be as ruthless as they are.

“As Beth and Rip fight to build a future together — far from the ghosts of Yellowstone — they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire. In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.”

Who Stars in ‘Dutton Ranch’?

The cast includes Finn Little (Those Who Wish Me Dead, Storm Boy) as Carter, Juan Pablo Raba (Narcos, The 33) as Joaquin, Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad, Terminator Genisys) as Rob-Will, J.R. Villarreal (Akeelah and the Bee, Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion) as Azul, Marc Menchaca (Ozark, The Outsider) as Zachariah, Natalie Alyn Lind (The Gifted, Big Sky) as Oreana, Ed Harris (The Truman Show, Apollo 13) as Everett McKinney, and Annette Bening (American Beauty, Nyad) as Beulah Jackson. The series is created by Chad Feehan, based on characters created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson. Feehan also serves as showrunner, while Christina Alexandra Voros directs multiple episodes, including the premiere and finale.

Dutton Ranch premieres May 15 on Paramount+ with a two-episode launch, and airs the same night on Paramount Network at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Watch With Us loves the movies of the 1980s — from teen classics like Sixteen Candles to iconic action-thrill rides like The Terminator, it’s undeniable that the ’80s were a great year for cinema.

We love returning to this decade time and time again, and we put together a list of three ’80s movies he can’t help but revisit.

Our first pick is Paris, Texas, an epic, arthouse road drama starring Harry Dean Stanton and Nastassja Kinski that will rip your heart out.

We also highlight Dead Poets Society if you’re looking for the perfect feel-good watch.

Here at Watch With Us, we love the ’80s. With the recent premiere of Stranger Things‘ final season, we’ve got the best of the ’80s on the brain. Watch With Us wants to celebrate some of the decade’s cinema offerings by highlighting five particularly rewarding movies that we feel are worth checking out a second […]

Emerging from the West Texas desert is an unkempt man named Travis Henderson (Dean Stanton), who appears to be unable to speak. When he’s found after fainting in a convenience store, a doctor phones his estranged brother Walt (Dean Stockwell), who awkwardly reunites with the sibling who had been missing for four years. Things only become stranger when Travis is reunited with his young son, Hunter (Hunter Carson), and together they embark on a road trip to find Travis’ wife, Hunter’s mother, Jane (Nastassja Kinski).

Profound, melancholic and visually stunning, Paris, Texas reigns as an enduring cult classic. The film thoughtfully explores themes about loneliness, love and redemption, expressed with deep emotional nuance through Stanton’s haunting performance as Travis. Cinematographer Robby Müller captures a neon-drenched urban Americana and the expansive desert that surrounds it, using shades of red and blue to evoke the characters’ emotional states.

English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams) begins work at the prestigious Welton Academy, an all-boys prep school that is iconic for its long-standing traditions and rigorous standards. While a Welton alumnus himself, Keating utilizes unorthodox methods to teach his students, encouraging them to “seize the day” and live life to the fullest in spite of the overbearing pressures they face from the school and their parents. Together, a group of students, including Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard) and Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), take Keating’s teachings to heart as they learn to embrace their individualism.

Dead Poets Society is a feel-good classic, led by a scene-stealing turn by Williams. The movie’s final “O Captain! My Captain!” scene is iconic, but if that’s the only part of the film you’re familiar with, then you need to get to educating yourself. Dead Poets Society is a moving coming-of-age story about discovering your true sense of self and learning to challenge rigid institutions of authority. At the end of the day, the film is a heartwarming, mainstream movie-making at its very best.

Based on Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon, of the same universe as The Silence of the Lambs, Manhunter precedes the story of Clarice Starling and Buffalo Bill by focusing on FBI criminal profiler Will Graham (William Petersen) and his hunt for the elusive “Tooth Fairy” killer, Francis Dollarhyde (Tom Noonan). Called out of early retirement, Graham enlists the help of notorious, convicted serial killer and cannibal Hannibal Lecter (Brian Cox) to better understand the way Dollarhyde thinks. Soon, Graham finds himself in a twisted game with Dollarhyde, Lecter and a nosy reporter named Freddy Lounds (Stephen Lang).

Years before Hannibal made the character of Will Graham a beloved television icon through his portrayal by Hugh Dancy (and five years before Anthony Hopkins would prove to be a more memorable Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs), the characters of Red Dragon were first put to the silver screen in Michael Mann‘s seminal neo-noir. Incredibly stylized and superbly acted, Manhunter is probably the most underrated gem of the Hannibal Lecter-verse, yet it’s easily one of the best, with its unique synth soundtrack, moody atmosphere and strong psychological thrills.

However, at the time, Wallace did not reveal the baby boy’s name. Nonetheless, Brown himself reacted to her post, and his mother, Joyce Hawkins, even chimed in as well.

“CONGRATULATIONS!!! HE’S JUST PERFECT! SENDING LOVE ALWAYS!!” Hawkins had written in Wallace’s comment section at the time.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, it was revealed that Diamond Brown, the mother of Chris Brown’s daughter Lovely, filed a paternity case against him in early April. Diamond is reportedly seeking custody of their daughter and legal fees for the case to be paid by Chris.

If there’s one thing most Marvel fans can agree on, it’s the impeccable casting of Charlie Cox as Daredevil/Matt Murdock. Like Christopher Reeve, Robert Downey Jr., and Hugh Jackman before him, Cox’s name is synonymous with superhero excellence; few actors have inhabited the tormented skin of their comic book counterparts with more authenticity, passion, or pathos. To the joy of casual and aficionado fans alike, that casting coup didn’t go quietly into the night following Netflix’s cancellation of the original Daredevil series in 2018. Between the recently premiered Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, as well as Murdock’s cameos in Spider-Man: Far From Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Cox has now been playing the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen for over a decade.

However, the England-born performer was already establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with before 2015’s Daredevil, leaving a trail of memorable performances that culminated in his ongoing MCU role. Roughly four years after the third and final season of Netflix’s Daredevil, Cox swapped out his red devil costume for a different kind of suit as the lead of the streamer’s original spy series, Treason. The role of Adam Lawrence, an MI6 agent devoted to protecting his country and family while harboring the weight of past indiscretions, proves an ideal vehicle for Cox’s defining traits as an actor, and cements him as more than just that guy who wears devil horns.

What Is ‘Treason’ About?

Created by Matt Charman, the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter behind Steven Spielberg‘s 2015 historical drama Bridge of Spies, Treason is a non-stop thrill ride reminiscent of BBC classics Spooks, The Night Manager, and Daniel Craig‘s era of James Bond — not to mention modern espionage hits like Apple TV+’s Slow Horses and Netflix’s own Black Doves. After being dismissed, Russian spy Kara Yerzov (Olga Kurylenko), poisons the head of MI6, Sir Martin Angelis (Ciarán Hinds), and second-in-command Adam Lawrence is thrust into the intelligence agency’s leadership vacuum. Angelis has mentored the up-and-coming Lawrence for years, prepping the younger man for a role of such power, responsibility, and influence.

Still, the sudden nature of Lawrence’s promotion carries no shortage of expectations. Adam must juggle seemingly irreconcilable goals: conflicts as mundane as his jealous colleagues, and as immense as being the United Kingdom’s first line of defense against international enemies intent on destabilizing England amidst the turbulent state of worldwide politics. Worse still, the personal becomes political when Kara blackmails Lawrence about their old affair, triggering a CIA investigation into Lawrence’s loyalties, as he simultaneously races to protect his wife Maddy (Oona Chaplin) and their two children. Fearful and flailing in the wind, Adam has no choice except to clear his name, expose the true traitor, and defend those he loves.

Charlie Cox Brings Emotional Maturity to His Roles, Including ‘Treason’

Treason allows Cox to channel the individual qualities that make him a compelling figure into one role. In particular, we see his earnestness, ferocity, and ability to walk the fine line between a good man with noble intentions and a flawed human with ongoing failures. No matter the character or the size of his part, Cox brings emotional maturity and an almost visible weight to the material. An inherent commitment simmers beneath his body language and expressions — a sense that the actor is excavating deep inside his imagination to find each character’s truth. In short (and to be a little frank for fun’s sake), there’s no half-assing it with Cox. In Daredevil, his resolute, angry tension allows no doubt about Matt’s passion for protecting the helpless and redeeming his home, nor aboutthe depths of his barely restrained rage.

When Treason opens, Lawrence’s life is idyllic: a loving wife and kids, a cushy job, and even a fancy house. It’s relatively rare to see a devoted family man in the spy genre, and Cox’s performance reflects this. Lawrence is relaxed and assured, whether he’s tenderly and playfully reassuring his worried children or issuing severe orders to his staff. That safety line quickly unravels as his past indiscretions catch up with him and cast suspicion — both the audience’s and the characters’ — on the image Lawrence projects. There’s more to uncover about Lawrence’s scenario and Lawrence himself than the recycled trope of a wronged man seeking justice. He feels burdened by the constant conflict between his good intentions and darker weaknesses, and that flavor of relatable moral ambiguity is (pardon the pun) one of Cox’s superweapons.

That said, despite Lawrence’s questionable actions and the uncertainty surrounding him like a hovering dark cloud, if the audience is meant to question his devotion to king and country, Cox’s natural sincerity makes Lawrence’s ultimate integrity almost a foregone conclusion. Adam isn’t the type to sacrifice his loved ones for the greater good. Rather, he prioritizes them so highly that he commits treason to rescue his kidnapped daughter, Ella (Beau Gadsdon). With her life at risk, he can’t focus on the larger threat even though he’s leading MI6. Shame, not self-preservation, prompts him to keep secrets from his wife, fidgeting and staring agitatedly into the middle distance. When he begs Maddy to understand that his love for her has never wavered, all of Cox’s earlier intensity transforms into something quieter, if no less vehement. It’s a sincerity rooted in the same gentle and steadfast love as Matt Murdock’s encounters with his closest compatriots, Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll).

The same energy applies when Lawrence reunites with Ella or comforts his son Callum (Samuel Leakey). Cox rarely raises his voice in Treason and doesn’t need to. The thrumming energy in his physicality says enough. As a character, Lawrence feels lived-in despite Treason‘s fast-paced plot, and Cox demonstrates those consistent characteristics sets him apart as an adept actor. Taken in the context of his past roles, that easy truthfulness isn’t a surprise. Daredevil could be a ludicrous series in different hands, but Cox contributes to its grounded style by never overacting while still rising to the emotional level a scene requires. Whether it’s questioning his lifelong faith or fighting an array of evil ninjas, Murdock’s pain is visceral in every punch and broken rib, as is his repeated heartbreak. Hatred, remorse, and love all echo off the screen — and, where Treason is concerned, organically transfer into applicable instances.

‘Boardwalk Empire’ Was a Breakout Role for Charlie Cox

For another example, take HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, where Cox portrays IRA member Owen Sleater, the right-hand man to main character and criminal Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi). Sleater is armed with sharp intelligence and a ruthless willingness to assassinate enemies. He’s a man made rough around the edges by poverty. Yet in true Cox form, an unexpected sensitivity underscores his illicit romance with Nucky’s wife, Margaret (Kelly Macdonald). His demeanor softens at their first meeting, and as their affair progresses, it’s clear he adores her enough to move heaven and earth if she asks. He doesn’t conceal his disarming infatuation, and his yearning disarms everything the audience previously assumed about Sleater.

If only Owen’s optimism weren’t at the mercy of an HBO series. After a mission, he returns to Margaret and Nucky as a corpse in a box, but his goofy smiles and belief in love remain unique to Boardwalk Empire‘s world and help distinguish Cox’s strengths as a performer. Owen, Matt, and Lawrence are all victimized by their romantic and familial fidelity, and Cox’s sheer commitment guarantees audience engagement with his heartfelt efforts.

Charlie Cox’s Star Is Born in ‘Stardust’

The same skills hold in a different — and surprisingly happy — way in the 2007 fantasy adventure film Stardust, a cult classic that doubles as Cox’s breakout role. A besotted young man who promises to retrieve a fallen star for his lady love, Cox’s Tristan instead falls in head-over-heels love with the star herself, Yvaine (Claire Danes), over a series of shared adventures. Cox and Danes’ instantaneous chemistry sparkles with classic enemies-to-lovers banter buoyed by Tristan’s bright, winsome romanticism. He’s the ideal floppy-haired hero for the genre: a swashbuckling swordfighter, a dedicated lover, and a dancer smooth enough to make Yvaine literally glow with happiness. Even in 2007, Cox’s innate presence and emotional substance distinguished him from the many young men of the early 2000s who starred in similar fantasy ventures.

Give Charlie Cox All the Roles, Please

Time after time, Cox has proven he has more to offer the world than Daredevil. Having said as much, it’s safe to assume most fans would happily watch Cox play Hell’s Kitchen’s most conflicted Defender for as long as Marvel allows. One might even dare to call his Daredevil: Born Again return a gift — but roles like Treason are a different kind of recognition, and just as deserved. Cox combines fervor with honest fragility, and Treason leaves no doubts about whether he has the caliber required to lead any series or film, just like Cox’s performance leaves no crumbs. In an ideal world, Marvel keeps him booked and busy for a long time. Whenever he has a free moment, however, the wider industry needs to let this man keep cooking.

AMC’s horror anthology The Terror has quietly gained a stellar reputation since its premiere in 2018. The acclaimed first season adapted Dan Simmons‘ history-inspired fiction novel of the same name to frigid perfection, infusing a catastrophic 19th-century naval expedition with supernatural dread. Season 2’s original concept, subtitled Infamy, drew from Japanese folklore and centered on Japanese American individuals forcibly confined inside a World War II-era internment camp.

Season 3, Devil in Silver, returns to the series’ bookish origins by way of award-winning author Victor LaValle‘s (Apple TV’s The Changeling) 2012 bestseller. LaValle serves as a writer, co-creator, and executive producer alongside Christopher Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire), Karyn Kusama (Yellowjackets), and Ridley Scott. As for other significant names, Dan Stevens — who’s become something of a genre regular since his Downton Abbey days — assumes Season 3’s leading man mantle. It’s suitable casting in several ways; for one, Devil in Silver unfolds in a similar setting as Stevens’ mind-melting FX series Legion. Location comparisons aside, the third installment’s synthesis of unsettling anxiety, character-first psychological horror, and piercing contemporary social critique makes Devil in Silver a gratifying watch for both returning Terror fans and devotees of shows like American Horror Story or From.

What Is ‘The Terror: Devil in Silver’ About?

Rarely seen without his well-worn Iron Maiden shirt, punk-rock Queens resident Pepper (Stevens) helps support his loving partner Marisol (Juani Feliz) and her daughter by teaching one-on-one drumming classes and driving a moving van. When Marisol’s belligerent ex-boyfriend harasses her yet again, Pepper’s self-restraint snaps. A one-sided fist fight ensues until three police officers (Michael Aronov, Marin Ireland, Philip Ettinger) intervene and arrest Pepper. Rather than filling out overtime paperwork at the police station, they select a more convenient option — committing their detainee to New Hyde Hospital’s Behavioral Unit.

Despite Pepper’s hot temper, he poses zero threat to himself or others. Nevertheless, the psychiatric ward’s supervisor, Dr. Anand (Aasif Mandvi), places Pepper in a 72-hour hold. If Pepper doesn’t obey the rules, they’ll extend his stay until he can successfully “play nice.” When Pepper’s first sedative dose plunges him into days of impenetrably deep sleep, Anand prolongs Pepper’s stay by two weeks. The fact that Pepper was too unconscious to take his mandatory daily medication wouldn’t matter to New Hyde’s executives, so Anand doesn’t even try advocating on Pepper’s behalf.

As Pepper rebels against his unjust circumstances, Dorry (Judith Light), a long-term patient, greets him with an ominous proclamation — a mysterious force has “summoned” Pepper to its domain. Eerie slithering sounds and disturbing visions seem to substantiate her theory. Pepper’s drive to escape becomes a battle to unearth the truth behind New Hyde’s sordid history and survive the alleged malevolent force lurking behind one locked, silver door.

Systemic Evil and the Demonic Collide in ‘The Terror: Devil in Silver’

Rest assured, Devil in Silver humanely repudiates ableist stigmas rather than retreading One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest‘s inaccuracies. No matter the severity of a character’s mental health condition, they don’t exhibit violent behavior (countless statistics have disproven this damaging rhetoric). Although the season’s runtime requires Devil in Silver to reserve its most substantial nuances for its main quartet, the show avoids reducing the neurodivergent spectrum down to two-dimensional stereotypes. Every patient has a layered past and a poignant perspective on their profoundly lonely circumstances; they encourage one another’s individuality and build communal friendships on tenets like understanding, empathy, respect, selflessness, and speaking truth to power.

Likewise, New Hyde’s employees aren’t unethical or irredeemably imperfect. Gaslighting, negligence, and violation undoubtedly exist in the medical field, but it’s disingenuous to paint every professional with that brush. At best, the burned-out attendants provide as much compassionate support as their underfunded, understaffed resources allow. At worst, they’re too resigned to the bureaucratic red tape undermining their efforts to keep fighting for sufficiently healing care.

As long as they meet individualized needs, prescription medications and structured psychiatric facilities aren’t destructive. Dehumanizing systems that abuse their power, and the specific people profiting from said exploitation are more heartless, sinister villains than whatever demonic entity might stalk the facility’s white-gray walls. New Hyde remains a place where society discards those whom they disdain and consider inferior. Considerable healthcare reform aside, such insidious systemic violence spans every corner of America — from mental health to racism, domestic abuse, state-sanctioned incarceration, and police corruption. To paraphrase Pepper’s roommate, Coffee (Silo‘s Chinaza Uche), the “broken” system works precisely as its architects intended.

‘The Terror: Devil in Silver’s Mesmerizing Cast Anchors an Occasionally Bumpy Plot

Running at a trim six episodes (all provided for review), Devil in Silver qualifies as a slow burn similar to the creeping eeriness of Jaws before the film reveals its bloodthirsty predator in full. Emmy-nominated director Kusama directs the first two episodes, establishing a menacingly claustrophobic tone. Filmed in Staten Island’s Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, the same location used for Orange Is the New Black, the over-bright and flickering fluorescent lights, seeping black mold stains, powerless confinement, and visual motif of a floor bifurcated by a single red line resembling a pristine blood trail, feel oppressive, abrasive, and infested with heinous intent.

The stacked ensemble cast heightens these strengths until the performers materialize into Devil in Silver‘s predominant selling point. Stand-outs consist of Uche (sensational), Light (a tragic chameleon), Mandvi (subtly intriguing and a treat for Evil fans), and CCH Pounder, an icon who’s always a superb joy to watch. Stevens, meanwhile, tracks Pepper’s contrasting permutations with compelling force and ever-ratcheting fervor. All things considered, it’s a demanding arc; introduced as a casual, cool dude who believes himself a protective unsung hero, Pepper’s past mistakes and callous attitude toward his fellow patients testify otherwise. Confronted by inner demons he can no longer outrun, he must either embrace emotional growth or perish. Stevens unlocks Pepper like a Rubik’s Cube, including frenzied volatility, distraught paranoia, wearied resentment, defiant fury, and compassionate vulnerability.

Although Devil in Silver‘s parallel themes are complementary and arguably The Terror‘s most chillingly resonant scenario yet, the series doesn’t always place them on equal footing. The potent social condemnation packs a weightier blow than the mythological lore, which isn’t necessarily a flaw, but does cause an occasionally unbalanced feel with moments hovering near (if not reaching) formulaic. Never fear, however, for The Terror‘s third entry boasts effectively grisly supernatural moments, especially one devastating occurrence. Season 3 might not quite reach the spectacular first season’s overall heights, but it’s still a disquieting, philosophical dissection of human nature that simultaneously proves this anthology’s flexibility and its staying power.

The Terror: Devil in Silver premieres May 7 on AMC.
