Netflixs latest fantasy epic a stunning spectacle

Published: May 21, 2021, 8:05 p.m.

Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm is recording from home again, this time focusing on hit Netflix fantasy series Shadow and Bone, Roku\u2019s surprising new batch of content and a heartfelt family animated comedy The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

Shadow and Bone scratches that fantasy-adventure itch with an interesting and lush world and compelling characters.

If you\u2019re looking for something new to binge, it\u2019s probably just what the doctor ordered. Remember Quibi?

Roku is probably hoping you don\u2019t as much of that content is being revived as \u2018Roku Originals'.

These titles will be exclusive to the Roku Channel, on Roku streaming hardware and its licensing partners - think TV\u2019s with a built-in Roku player and the like.\u2019

The Mitchells vs. the Machines is a heartwarming and laugh-out-loud family animated film from the studio that brought us Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.
