The Netflix series Ragnarok takes place in Norway and includes a diverse cast, but doesn’t necessarily include one big-name star. Still, the six-part thriller includes numerous strong performances, and could possibly introduce viewers to actors and actresses that could use some extra streaming exposure. Naturally, many Netflix subscribers may be curious if and where they’ve seen any of the Ragnarok cast members before. Based on Norse mythology, Netflix’s Ragnarok follows a teenager named Magne who learns that he possesses extraordinary physical abilities....

New footage from Godzilla: King of the Monsters was released by HBO ahead of the newest episode of Game of Thrones. There’s plenty of attention being given to the final season of HBO’s hit series (and rightfully so), but it isn’t the only big production that will feature fire breathing creatures and dragons this year. In just a few short weeks, Warner Bros. and Legendary will release Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the sequel to 2014’s Godzilla and latest installment in the MonsterVerse into the theaters....

Here’s why Agent Percy is no longer part of the team at NCIS: New Orleans. NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and the team was first introduced during an episode of JAG. The concept and characters, including Gibbs and DiNozzo, proved popular enough to launch a solo NCIS series, which attracted a major following. The show has been running since 2003 and its seventeenth season will premiere in September 2019....

Netflix film depicting a gay Jesus incites #Cancelonetflix hashtag. The streaming giant has had its share of controversy over the years, igniting debate over everything from what constitutes an Oscar-worthy movie release to the necessity of auto-trailers. In all fairness, it really shouldn’t surprise anyone that a service as large and wide reaching as Netflix would experience the odd controversy now and again. Today’s audiences often seem more easily angered than ever before, and one never knows exactly what will set a certain segment of the population off at any given time....

Netflix’s original sci-fi/comedy Living with Yourself accomplishes a feat that seems to defy all logic: it makes not one, but TWO Paul Rudds boring. The series premiered on the streaming service in October, 2019, and has since garnered mixed reviews. Living with Yourself has an original premise and a talented cast; yet, even two Paul Rudds can’t save this comedy, which suffers from an identity crisis of its own. Living with Yourself is a scripted comedy series that fuses situational comedy with Black Mirror’s technological anxiety; however, the show never seems invested in either direction, and the result is a bland, muddled, missed opportunity....

With several big movies opening at the end of the year, one smaller film managed to get considerable attention from critics and audiences. The Two Popes is the simple story of a meeting between Cardinal Ratzinger aka Pope Benedict and Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, who would eventually become the current Pope Francis. The movie stars Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, who each give powerful performances as two very different men who search for common ground....

Apple has today added new locations for its Flyover and indooor maps feature. Flyover shows a 3D representation of the specific area, while indoor maps allows users to find the specific location of a shop inside a mall or airport. While Apple lists these locations on its website (via MacRumors), some aren’t available yet, but will likely be updated with support soon. While some have been available for the past few months, Apple hasn’t updated its list until this point to reflect the change....

For years, audiences have praised Netflix for its critically acclaimed scripted TV series and movies, but now Netflix is becoming a giant in reality TV as well. Netflix offers one of the biggest streaming libraries of content on the web....

The second season of Netflix’s Sex Education is officially out and was met with widespread acclaim. Despite that, the finale was surprisingly divisive among many fans. That’s not because of the quality of the episode or even the writing. It’s mostly because Otis and Maeve are still not together and another obstacle stands in their way. That should tell you all you need to know about how important the relationships on this show are....

As a result, TCP is ideally suited to applications that need a high level of reliability in their communications channels. A common use of TCP is carrying hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) packets that make requests for and serve web pages. TCP in Wireshark TCP differs from other protocols since it is intended to provide reliable data transfer.

Warner Bros. has released a new Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) poster that puts more focus on the Birds of Prey team, and not just Harley Quinn. Margot Robbie’s turn as Harley was easily the most widely loved element from David Ayer’s Suicide Squad when it opened in 2016, and WB has been moving to capitalize on her popularity ever since. At different times, there’ve been as many as four Harley-related DCEU projects in development at once over the last few years, including Gotham City Sirens, Suicide Squad 2, Birds of Prey, and a Harley Quinn/Joker movie....

Instagram hasn’t rested on its laurels either. They are continually testing and introducing new features, in some cases, trying to replicate (or even improve) on some of the most popular features of their competing social channels. Instagram Stories is now such an essential part of the social network that it is easy to forget that when Instagram introduced them, many considered them to be just a replication of what SnapChat had to offer....

Netflix is testing a new picture-in-picture feature with its web app with some Mac users noting the new option. Currently called the “pop-out player,” the PiP option lets users keep an eye on content while using other apps.
