But sometimes all the choices can be overwhelming, so let us help you with some suggestions! Here are Netflix’s best Originals – both movies and TV shows.

Marvel’s Runaways: Season 3 Review

This is a spoiler-free review for all 10 episodes of Marvel’s Runaways: Season 3 – which was released Friday, December 13 on Hulu.

Marvel’s Runaways wraps up its run with a third and final season that wisely bounces between two separate adventures (three, if you include the finale), avoiding much, but not all, of the repetitive stodginess of Season 2.

Hulu dosed out its first season on a weekly basis and that worked a lot better given the huge cast and the rotating door of soapy twists and turns, from enormous extraterrestrial reveals to teenage love triangles. Season 2 faltered by keeping our heroes in the same Gibborim rut and by releasing the entire season at once, which caused the story, between the teens and the parents, to easily became a blur of bickering and backstabbing. It became harder to care about who didn’t like who from episode to episode.
