I didn’t like Mad Men. The production was amazing, but Don Draper is an irredeemable scumbag. But I love The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Amazon’s take on the ’60s NYC period piece. It has all the style and history, and people I actually en…
The Witcher, CD ProjeKt Red’s game series based on a collection of Polish novels, is a certified media sensation. The Netflix TV series helped push it even further. Now it’s getting a mobile game, very much in the style of another game seri…
