The second season of Netflix's hit series Stranger Things may have debuted less than a week ago, but if the data coming out of Nielsen is any indication, the show has hit the ground running.

Arrow: Why Diggle Would Want to Be the Green Arrow

For the man that was always the moral backbone of Arrow, resorting to narcotics to keep up with his vigilante work feels like a very dark turn.

I Want To Unsee The Last of Us Part 2’s New Trailer
To say The Last of Us is a great video game is a monumental understatement. Even if we're not talking about the remarkable world building, stellar sound design, or breath-taking environments, it's proof that video games are a viable way to tell a story with emotional weight, and I have no doubt that Naughty Dog is making something equally moving with The Last of Us Part 2.

In just under five minutes, the trailer (which you can watch below) shows disemboweled corpses hanging from a freeway sign, a hunting knife being dragged across a woman’s stomach, a different woman having her arm broken with a claw hammer (which subsequently winds up in not one but two characters’ faces, claw-end first) and plenty of choking, gunfire, and blood. Then the clickers come out, and it’s over - see it here:
