Out of all the themes that the Assassin’s Creed franchise manages to craft an experience around, history happens to be a big one. From the shady pathways of London in 1868 to the mystical and open landscapes of ancient Greece, the franchise has managed to tell several stories from many parts of human history.
However, things may be a little difficult to grasp with Assassin’s Creed Hexe in this aspect, especially when magic and spells might take the center of attention. While Ubisoft is trying to manage both realism and fantasy with this one, only time will tell how it truly turns out.

Only a few years after the death of the so-called Yorkshire Ripper, the true-crime series The Long Shadow, premiering on Sundance Now and AMC+ on Thursday, March 21, presents the “definitive depiction of the desperate five-year hunt” for the serial killer as his killing spree continued. That investigation was also the subject of the recent Netflix docuseries The Ripper, but if you don’t know the story already — and you don’t mind spoilers for The Long Shadow’s cat-and-mouse manhunt — read on for the terrible backstory. The Yorkshire Ripper was the press’ appellation for Peter Sutcliffe, an English serial killer who died at age 74 in 2020. Per The Guardian, a spokesperson for Boris Johnson said that the United Kingdom’s then-prime minister’s thoughts were “with those who lost their lives, the survivors, and with the families and the friends of Sutcliffe’s victims.” Brian Booth, the chairman of the West Yorkshire Police Federation,...

There is no dearth of true crime documentaries on Netflix. Most of these documentaries cover the ways in which the subject targeted women until the authorities finally tracked them down. Tinder Swindler, Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, The Keepers, and The Ripper are some examples of true crime documentaries released by Netflix, and the streaming giant has somehow aced this form of content. Yet another addition to this genre is Liza Williams’ Can I Tell You a Secret, which chronicles the story of a man who cyberbullied countless women in his vicinity. This two-part documentary miniseries was released on February 21, 2024.
The documentary begins with Zoe, Abby, and Lia, the victims of the stalker, discussing in detail how a random stranger contacted them on their phone through Snapchat and Instagram and began to bully them. It began as a normal conversation, which turned into a nightmare for the...

At this point, we’re almost legally obligated to start off TV roundups with some variation on this idea that there’s a lot of TV out there, but it really is impossible to keep up with everything. And calling attention to it doesn’t make it any less true!
So, given that TV time is reaching astronomical heights in 2020, how does one find something to watch, let alone focus on just the best of the best? That’s where we come in.
Keeping track of the dizzying amount of television we’ve reviewed so far in 2020 is a task in and of itself, so we’ve tried to make it as easy as possible. Below, we’ve gathered each of our 2020 TV reviews, each with a season number and the network/service where the new episodes first aired for U.S. audiences. Hopefully, this will help you decide what...

The latest documentary miniseries to tap into the neverending streaming craze around history’s most brutal crimes, “The Ripper” charts the carnage wrought by a serial killer of women in Yorkshire, England, in the 1970s. But there was another misogynistic element in play as revealed in this four-part series, and that turned out to be the police launching the investigation who spent half a decade chasing a slayer who constantly outsmarted them.
For fans of the HBO series “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” and even the podcast “Sword and Scale,” both unsparing their detailing of grisly crimes, “The Ripper” is an endlessly grim source of fascination. It also effectively flays a procedural breakdown within the police force, showing that the pile-up of misinformation surrounding the deaths of 13 women could be as maddening as the murders themselves.
