Blue Eye Samurai (2023-)
One of the best-animated series in the history of Netflix, Blue Eye Samurai tells the story of a female samurai who hides her gender while seeking revenge in Edo-era Japan. The show, which is set in a period in Japanese history when Westerners were strictly forbidden, is all about its central character's attempt to kill the man she suspects is her father.
In addition to some incredibly inventive and gory action, Blue Eye Samurai is a show with a compelling and unconventional roster of central characters. Few shows are as confident or intricate as this show, and even fewer manage to stick the landing this well.
You can watch Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix.
Derry Girls (2018-2022)
A hilarious, deeply endearing series about a group of Irish teenagers who are growing up against the backdrop of the Troubles in the 1990s, Derry Girls is another show that comes out of the gate with remarkable confidence. Its central quartet of young women are all offbeat, and crucially, each of them seems like they could really be an Irish teenager.
Derry Girls has its share of small-scale dramas, but mostly, it's a show about how mundane life can be even when history is unfolding all around you. While you might want to turn subtitles on, Derry Girls is also a show jam-packed with genuinely excellent jokes.
You can watch Derry Girls on Netflix.
Supergirl (2015-2021)
Supergirl existed in an era saturated with superhero content. Yet this show and its CW compatriots often felt like the closest to capturing the spirit of the comic books. The show starts as Kara Zor-El is just coming into her own and takes innumerable twists and turns over the course of its run.
Thanks to the central performance of Melissa Benoist, the show managed to be exactly the right level of fun through much of its run. If you're hankering for Superman content ahead of the new movie, Supergirl might be the perfect show to binge.

Kim Kardashian Goes Makeup-Free in Behind-the-Scenes Photos of Her Cosmetic Trip to Korea
She shared a glimpse of the cutting-edge face treatments she got. The Gist Kim Kardashian gave fans a rare glimpse of the cosmetic face treatments she got done in South Korean in a photo dump shared on Tuesday, August 19. The reality star went makeup-free while showing her getting several procedures. Kardashian's new candidness mirrors sister Kylie Jenner and mom Kris Jenner, who recently name-dropped their plastic surgeons. Kim Kardashian is following in her sister Kylie Jenner and mom Kris Jenner's footsteps by getting candid about her latest cosmetic treatments. Just days after sharing photos from her NSFW private jet ride to South Korea—complete with a Skims face wrap and ultra-sheer YSL tights that freed the nipple—Kim stripped off her signature glam for several makeup-free photos that showed her getting several skin procedures done. Posing with her sister Khloé Kardashian as well as friends La La Anthony, Stephanie Suganami, and Vanessa Lee, who's the owner of cosmetic treatments and injectables company The Things We Do, Kim showed off her natural beauty during her beauty getaway. The makeup-free Skims founder could be seen with a white substance on her face, tape over her eyebrows (potentially for a laser treatment), and seemingly getting blood taken out of her arm (potentially for her "vampire facial" treatment). While Kardashian didn't share which cosmetic treatments she got, Lee—who previously did a collagen baby threads procedure on Khloé's neck and chin—spoke to Entertainment Tonight about what skin care procedures the women were hoping to try in Korea. 'Korea is known for their innovation in cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures and prioritizes efficiency and quality,' Lee shared. Revealing that she likes to 'go straight to the source of where professionals are mastering their techniques,' Lee added, 'I had the opportunity to guide the girls with my expertise … This trip was about getting a little more invasive for me.' She continued, 'Korea's hyperpigmentation technologies, body tightening devices, and biostimulator skin boosters have been on my to-do list.' While Kim has yet to respond to the fans clamouring in her comments for what Korean skin care procedures she decided to try, her half-sister Kylie recently revealed the exact thing she asked for for her breast implants on TikTok. Kardashian Momager Kris also shared the name-dropped the surgeon who did her recent face lift. Read the original article on InStyle Solve the daily Crossword
