Hershel wants to become a doctor, and the choice is deliberately meant to continue the legacy of…
Anyone coming into Reacher Season 4 after reading Gone Tomorrow will notice the change almost immediately. Lee Child opens the novel on the New York City subway. Prime Video puts Alan Ritchson’s Reacher on Philadelphia’s Broad Street Line instead. The switch was deliberate. Showrunner Nick Santora has explained that Philadelphia was chosen partly because the…
General Putra has not yet occupied much screen time in Reacher Season 4, but by Episode 3, his name is sitting uncomfortably close to almost every important part of the mystery. Lila Hoth says Putra was an Indonesian military figure whose forces committed serious abuses in the 1990s, and she believes John Sampson’s former Delta…

What makes the story remarkable is that the…
Tyler Duckworth built one of the more quietly impressive records in The Challenge, turning an uneven start in the franchise into back-to-back championships on Cutthroat and Rivals. More than a decade later, he returned for All Stars and showed that his connection to the MTV community had never really disappeared. Duckworth died at the age…
Married at First Sight Season 20 initially gives Mecca Amen and BelléJolie Force the look of one of Seattle’s easier matches. They are attracted to each other, share an interest in family and commitment, and avoid some of the immediate conflict consuming other newlyweds. Then Mecca tells BelléJolie that he believes she is considerably more…
Caitlin Grimm and Devin Short look like a promising Married at First Sight match when they first meet. Both are attracted to each other, both say they want marriage, and their early interactions lack the immediate rejection that can doom a MAFS pairing before the honeymoon properly begins.

Unlike many dating shows, the couples are not simply matched, sent on dates and asked whether they want to continue seeing each other. They meet at the altar and are presented as getting legally married before spending eight weeks deciding…
