2022 has started off well when it comes to television, movies, and video games. These are some of the best from January – March.
Television:
Euphoria Season 2:
The show that took over Twitter everytime a new episode came out, Euphoria’s season 2 was one of the most popular shows to come out so far. With a good cast and a story that had everyone hooked, many are sad that there will now be a long wait until season 3 comes out.
Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty:
The story of the Showtime Lakers era that Jerry Buss, played John C. Reilly, is an amazing show that uses film trickery to give the show that vintage 1980’s look. With a cast that truly captures their historical counterparts well, like Jason Clarke as the legendary Jerry West or Quincy Isaiah as Earvin “Magic” Johnson, this show tells the highs and lows of the Lakers in a seemingly dying league, the NBA.
Abbott Elementary:
A show that has glimpses of what made The Office a legendary mockumentary-style show, Abbott Elementary is a humorous TV show detailing the life of the teachers in an elementary. With a fun and diverse cast, the upbeat Janine Teagues (played by Quinta Brunson), or the substitute teacher Gregory, which Tyler James Williams has been playing very well, or even the fan-favorite shady principle Ava Coleman, played by the talented Janelle James, Abbott Elementary looks like it could be a mainstay on ABC for years to come.
Movies:
The Batman (2022):
The newest movie starring everyones favorite Cape Crusader, Director Matt Reeves took the classic Batman and brought it to a new light. In a much darker version of Batman, Robert Pattinson has been receiving rave reviews for his portrayal as Bruce Wayne. Fans are excited for what’s to come next for this new series of adaptations, especially with a new deleted scene being revealed that showed the Joker. With the actors and fans both on board for a sequel, it shouldn’t be long till we see one hit the theaters.
Uncharted:
With video game movies slowly but surely improving, Uncharted is on the positive side of history. With Tom Holland as the iconic Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Sully, this was a fun adventure movie that both follows stories from the Uncharted video game series, while also going their own route when developing the story.
