Lanterns Delivers a Bold, Bright Green Lantern Mystery

HBO’s Lanterns pairs Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart with Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan in a Midwest-set Green Lantern investigation that blends police-procedural pacing with cosmic sci‑fi mystery. The premiere-season mood is stylish and character-driven, anchored by strong performances and sharp direction, while juggling exposition with momentum as it sets up a multi-season arc across seven of eight episodes; a promising, bold addition to HBO’s lineup that leans into cultural and generational tensions without sacrificing character or tone.

The Shards: Murphy and Ellis Push Boundaries in an Over-the-Top 1980s LA Chronicle

The Shards, a nine-episode FX/Hulu drama from Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis, expands Ellis’s autobiographical novel into a glittery, excess-soaked portrait of early-1980s Los Angeles focused on prep-school sex, drugs, and a lurking serial killer; while visually lush and often entertaining, the nine-episode arc struggles with tonal coherence, delivering strong performances from Igby Rigney and Kaia Gerber and finishing with a provocative cliffhanger.
