"I hate how the rules of this world keeps changing," says Nico Minoru at one point in the third and final season of Marvel's Runaways. It's a really easy quote to apply to the entire season, which continued the last season's trajectory of turning this Hulu teen drama from a guilty pleasure to a convoluted, frustrating mess.

There is something so profoundly unsettling to me with Harley Quinn's character. It all goes back to the core of her relationship with the Joker, which has always come across as toxic and abusive, even in less adult-orientated Batman media. But the Harley Quinn animated show on DC Universe is very cognizant of this, taking inspiration from the recent comics to turn this relationship on its head.

What [Frank Castle] won't admit though, is that he wants, needs, and perhaps enjoys his punishing. This is the dramatic question that season two appears to set up, before fumbling it entirely. Rarely does the show ask whether or not society needs the Punisher, and after watching the entire second season, I'm leaning towards 'no.' At least in this way.

While the familiar page-turning Marvel logo may grace the beginning of every Runaways episode, this Hulu original barely resembles any of the other properties of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that the show supposedly inhabits. As the character of Nico Minoru pointed out herself, these characters do not have codenames or costumes, and they certainly are not superheroes. These are just teenagers going through an extraordinarily rough time.

Matt Murdock has had a hard life. Just when you think our favorite superpowered blind lawyer vigilante has totally hit rock bottom, the extraordinary situations that he gets into keeps bringing him lower and lower. Matt, a devout Catholic, has had enough of the big man upstairs. It isn't that he no longer believes in God—it's that he's just sick and tired of his suffering brought on by God. There's a lot of brooding and complaining in the first six episodes of Daredevil season three; we've known the MCU version of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) for some time and we're probably used to it.

There comes a point in one's life where they become disillusioned with the world and their surroundings, and when one's optimism and idealism become cynicism and nihilism. In Titans, that disillusionment is a constant in a world that appears to be defined by misery and violence. The promotional material gave off 'dark' and 'edgy' vibes, like the idea of what a child would consider to be 'adult' and 'mature.' After viewing screeners of the first three episodes of Titans, I'm willing to give it some more credit than what I initially did.

The path to redemption is not necessarily a straight line—rather, it can be sinusoidal instead. With Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) in Better Call Saul, his journey as a con-man trying to turn into a genuinely good person is full of twists and turns, with opposition coming from forces who believe he will never change. And it's perhaps because of these forces that Jimmy will be reduced into the very monster these people think him to be. Season 4 of Better Call Saul does not skyrocket us into the Saul Goodman we know from Breaking Bad, but there are indeed shades of Saul throughout.

I have never made my disdain for Iron Fist more evident and apparent. Identity politics aside, the first season depicted what I believed to be a whiny white rich boy going on temper tantrums, in an aimless television show with subpar fight choreography, terrible editing, and a total lack of atmosphere. Iron Fist season 2 is a completely different show, with little resemblance to its first season.
