I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Easily the most ambitious project in Amazon Prime Video history, if not maybe even all of streaming, was a billion dollar budgeted original Lord of the Rings show, Rings of Power, now airing its second season.

Reacher is huge and is one of the most consistent performers on its charts. Fallout debuted with massive numbers only behind Rings of Power itself, and landed a number of Emmy nominations.
