For a show about vampires, A Discovery of Witches is relatively light on blood and gore. Its undead creatures are civilised types, more likely to be found sipping a 1982 Latour than fang-deep in a carotid artery. That all changed this week, as season two took a 21st century detour with a police thriller slant. A mystery vamp has been going to town on warm-bloods, and, hope Domenico and Gerbert, it could spell the end for the de Clermont dynasty....

Three dragons in the hands of an orphan girl was enough to change the course of Westeros forever on Game of Thrones. Daenerys Targaryen was the last of her royal line, with the blood of old Valyria running through her veins and, as she often told people, that made her the mother of dragons. With Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion at her beck and call, Daenerys went from a pauper princess to a power broker, conquering the powerful Free Cities of Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen prior to flying to the next continent over and taking King’s Landing by force....

This, however, is not an actual example of Brit TV being terrifying, but one of a Thomas & Friends Halloween special which ended up with a slightly bizarre difference between its UK and US versions: Thomas and his fellow engine Emily are sent to the smelter’s yard for a nighttime collection of some iron, but get spooked by pranks set up by diesels Harry and Bert, and become convinced there’s a g-g-g-ghoooost!...

While we’re all waiting for better days when fans will be able to safely attend these events once more, it must be said that AGDQ 2021’s set-up did allow a greater variety of people to participate in the show remotely. As a result, this year’s event featured some of the absolute wildest runs you’ll ever see. If you’re looking for the best of the best, though, then these are the AGDQ 2021 VODs that you need to watch....

Yoon Chan-young as Lee Cheong-san One of the many scene-stealers in the All of Us Are Dead cast is Yoon Chan-young, who plays the extremely nimble Lee Cheong-san. Yoon is one of the young members of this cast who is already an established performer, having worked as a child actor since 2013. The now 20-year-old has an extensive filmography that ranges from 2019’s coming-of-age drama Everything and Nothing to 2014’s Pluto Squad, a show about child detectives....

Altered Carbon Episode 4 In a rare stumble, Altered Carbon’s fourth episode contains both a retrospective torture bonanza and a family study of the emotional benefits and dangers of re-sleeving a departed loved one. Not only do the two stories feel inappropriately juxtaposed; they also each drag their message out over the full hour when half of that would have sufficed. The holiday setting was definitely fun, and trying to figure out how Kovacs would overcome his interrogator produced some enjoyable anticipation, but it felt as though this part of the ten-hour movie were being unnaturally forced into an episodic formula....

Starring Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as Takeshi Kovacs, whose memory (or “cortical stack”) has been placed in a new body (or “sleeve”) after serving 250 years of an eternal prison sentence, Altered Carbon follows the investigation for which Kovacs has been revived (or “spun up”): to find the murderer of Laurens Bancroft, played by James Purefoy (Hap and Leonard). Since Bancroft died before a 48-hour backup could be made of his consciousness, his new sleeve has no memory of the event....

“The market is crazy, as you saw with the Knives Out deal,” explains Salke. “This is a full season of a huge world-building show. The number is a sexy headline or a crazy headline that’s fun to click on, but that is really building the infrastructure of what will sustain the whole series.” “[It] is a crazy world and various people on this Zoom, mostly Bela [Netflix’s Bela Bejaria] and me, have been in bidding situations where it starts to go incredibly high,” confesses Salke....

DevOps teams across the globe have been using Agile for a long time, and now they are hungry for more productivity.

Agile and DevOps experts have been experimenting fusion of various Agile methodologies. So far, Scrumban has been highly successful. Want to know more about Scrumban so that you can also try it on a project as a pilot basis?...

If you don’t know yet, screen mirroring basically means when you “mirror” your screen from one device to another. So, if you’re mirroring your iPhone screen to your PC, it’ll display everything on your iPhone to your PC simultaneously. This way, you can play mobile games, reply to chats and view photos/videos on your PC from your iPhone in real time. You can use it for various purposes, so in this post, we’ll be going through the Android and iPhone screen mirroring to PC with the help of iMyFone....

A pro decorating license is basically your passport to some of ACNH‘s various new interior decoration options. While it won’t grant you access to every new decoration feature included in the update or all of the exterior design options that are coming to the game (some of those features will be added via the upcoming Happy Home Paradise DLC and some are unlocked elsewhere), you will need a decorating license if you’re hoping to hang items from your ceiling or play with the game’s new accent wall features....

For the uninitiated it’s easy to assume that anime consists of giant robots, monsters that battle, and strong fighters and magical girls that transform, but that’s really just a fraction of what the medium has to offer. Words like shonen, shojo, isekai, and even reverse harem are used in reference to anime, which can sometimes feel overwhelming when someone just wants to watch a silly romantic comedy or superhero clone....

Arrow Season 7 Episode 22 It’s hard to see tonight’s episode as anything other than a series finale. I know there’s a short half season and the crossover crisis, but in many ways it feels like tonight we said goodbye. And what a goodbye it was. Break out the tissues and let’s get into it. The first half of the episode was for plot business which was…fine, I guess? From a character growth standpoint, I’m glad Oliver realized (again) the more violence is not the answer and got through to his sister, although it still feels like such a wasted opportunity for her to die, after the wasted opportunity that was her arc this season....

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you play as Eivor, a fearsome Viking in 873 AD who lost her parents in battle, a moment that left her literally scarred and hellbent on getting revenge against the warlord who slaughtered them. It’s important to note that the game gives you the choice to play as a male or female version of Eivor at the start of the game, but you’re also given a third option that allows the Animus to “choose” the gender for you based on the memory being recollected....

For those of you who don’t remember (and for those who prefer not to), Beetlejuice is not just a movie starring Michael Keaton in a blonde wig looking pervy. It was also an Emmy Award-winning cartoon in the early 1990s that aired on both ABC and Fox Kids simultaneously – six days out of the week, in fact. And it was a pretty darn good one if I can say so myself....

Behind Her Eyes is the perfect duplicity-hinting title for a series that conceals what it is until the very end. The name works both for the psychological adultery thriller that this Netflix adaptation presents as, and for the supernatural story it’s really telling. Because what’s behind her eyes, in this instance, is him. She is beautiful, wealthy Scottish heiress Adele, played by The Luminaries’ Eve Hewson. He is working class, Glaswegian heroin addict Rob, played by Game of Thrones’ Robert Aramayo....

A collection of Den of Geek contributors and you, dear reader, have voted on everything from the best sci-fi video games to the best Marvel movies. It’s all been good fun, but with this our latest batch of voting we’re tackling our biggest challenge yet: comedy. Comedy, as it turns out, is quite subjective. As our friends over in the Movie section have already discovered, folks have some strong opinions about what does and does not make them laugh....

The situation with privileged access can quickly get out of control when the number of users grows, together with the number of applications, devices, and even infrastructure types. You must apply a privileged access management solution to avoid such a problematic situation. Let’s start by answering the most obvious question: What is Privileged Access Management? Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a set of cybersecurity strategies and technologies for exercising control over elevated (“privileged”) access and permissions for users, accounts, processes, and systems in an IT environment....
