UK communications regulator Ofcom has fined the porn company 8579 LLC £1.35 million for not installing age checks, thus not complying with the Online Safety Act. Ofcom has also fined it an additional £50,000 for failing to respond to an information request.

The Online Safety Act went into effect in July 2025, requiring porn sites to have robust age assurance, such as with a credit card or facial recognition scan, going beyond the typical "yes or no" checkbox to verify someone is of age.

SEE ALSO: All the states Pornhub is blocked in now

According to Ofcom's investigation into 8579 LLC, its websites — such as crazyporn.xxx, hoes.tube, and love4porn.com — don't have these robust age checks.

"We've been clear that adult sites must deploy robust age checks to protect children in the UK from seeing porn," Ofcom's director of enforcement, George Lusty, stated in the press release. "Those that fail to do this — or ignore legally binding requests from us — should expect to face fines."

Ofcom has also investigated and fined other porn providers, like Kick Online Entertainment, which it fined £800,000. Last year, Ofcom threatened to fine and/or block controversial U.S. sites 4chan and Kiwi Farms for not implementing age checks. Now those sites are suing Ofcom, claiming they shouldn't have to comply as they're based in the United States.

In addition to finding non-compliant websites, people can avoid UK age checks using VPNs (virtual private networks). VPN usage has more than doubled since the law went into effect, to the point that the UK government is now weighing a VPN ban for children.

Pornhub, arguably the most well-known porn site, initially complied with the Online Safety Act. Towards the end of January, however, its parent company, Aylo, announced it would no longer comply due to these workarounds — both non-compliant sites and VPNs — and now blocks itself in the UK, aside from adults who have verified their age before February 2.

SEE PROJECT HAIL MARY EARLY: Prime members have the chance to see the highly anticipated Project Hail Mary at an exclusive early screening four days before its nationwide release. Tickets are now available — secure yours while supplies last.

The highly anticipated film adaptation of Andy Weir's best-selling sci-fi novel Project Hail Mary officially hits theaters on March 20, 2026. But Prime members have the opportunity to see it in theaters four days before its nationwide release. A Prime membership really is the gift that keeps on giving.

As an Amazon MGM Studios theatrical release, Amazon is giving Prime members access to an exclusive early screening of Project Hail Mary on March 16, 2026 at 7 p.m. local time in select theaters across the country. Tickets are now available through Fandango on a first-come, first-serve basis. Navigate to the Project Hail Mary landing page on Amazon.com and click on "buy tickets" in the bottom corner. You'll then be prompted to sign into your Amazon Prime account and redirected to Fandango to select your tickets. All early access showings will be on premium large format screens, including IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, and 70mm, so you can watch astronaut Ryland Grace's interstellar adventure in the most immersive way possible.

It goes without saying that tickets are going fast — be sure to snag yours ASAP if you want to see the film before everyone else.

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher who wakes up on a spaceship millions of miles from Earth with no recollection of how he got there. As his memory slowly returns, he pieces together his mission: save Earth from the alien microorganisms causing the sun to die out. Those who have read the book (which I couldn't recommend more — particularly the audiobook) know the gripping story is about a whole lot more than just science. It's a story about survival and unexpected friendship, and you may want to bring some tissues along.

Not a Prime member? You can still sign up and gain access to the early screening, but you'll have to act quick to secure your tickets. You'll get a free 30-day trial to kick things off.

With the plug-and-play setup, you just connect the included USB cable to your device and start recording. You don't need to download any extra drivers. Most microphones in the $25 price bracket are pretty bare-bones, so getting on-device gain and volume control, along with four recording modes for this price is a solid value.

"Hey, you know what would be cool," a Nothing marketing person probably said at a recent meeting. "If we just posted a photo of our upcoming Nothing 4a online."

"Great idea," Nothing's head of marketing probably answered. "That will give our fans something to chew on as they wait for the official reveal on March 5. And it totally won't spoil the surprise."

We have no proof that the conversation above actually happened, but we do imagine something of the sort did take place, as Nothing decided to post a photo of its upcoming Nothing 4a smartphone, scheduled for a March 5 launch, more than a week ahead of time. Here it is.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"Built different," the company tweeted, without revealing any additional details.

The image shows the phone from the rear, displaying Nothing's trademark industrial/semi-naked design. It also reveals a new type of Glyph Bar, next to the camera bump, with nine mini-LEDs, likely offering even more customization options.

On March 5, the company will likely reveal the rest of the phone, alongside a more powerful option, the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. Both phones will likely come with Snapdragon 7-series chips, while the Pro variant will probably pack a more powerful camera.

Usually, by this time of year, everyone who wants the newest Samsung Galaxy flagship phone already has one. However, we're still waiting for the official announcement of the upcoming Galaxy S26.

There's good news on that front, though: You don't have to wait long. Samsung has confirmed a Galaxy Unpacked event for Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 1 p.m. ET. Since the Galaxy TriFold already went on sale (and immediately sold out) in the West, it's time for Samsung to fully focus on the Galaxy S26. Of course, if you're here, you want to know what the deal is with these phones right now.

Luckily, we've seen numerous leaks and reports before the big unveiling on Wednesday, from the colors and camera specs to cool-sounding display tech called Privacy Display. Catch up on everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy S26 specs, price, and release date.

SEE ALSO: See Samsung Galaxy S26's rumored Privacy Display feature in action What will the Galaxy S26 phones look like?

Recently, leaker @onleaks posted a gallery and video on X that claims to show dummy units of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. We can't verify the authenticity of the video, but it looks plausible, at least.

Overall, it looks very similar to the S25 Ultra, as expected, with one notable change — it has a camera bump similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. As 9to5Google points out, because this bump is on the left side of the phone, it will make the phone wobble when placed down on a table or desk. (The TriFold has the same problem.) In comparison, the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max has a more symmetrical shape and thus no wobble.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

However, we would be a little skeptical of this leak. Android Police recently posted its own alleged S26 Ultra leaks, only without the camera bump.

As for colors, leaker Evan Blass posted what could be the full list of color options on X. The colors are:

• Black

• White

• Silver Shadow

• Sky Blue

• Cobalt Violet

• Pink Gold

Those all sound pretty standard for a Samsung phone, so it doesn't seem like the company is doing anything wildly bold this year in terms of colors. That's either a relief or a disappointment to you, depending on how you felt about the controversial cosmic orange iPhone last year.

What models will be included in the S26 lineup?

We're expecting three phones at the next Galaxy Unpacked event:

• Samsung Galaxy S26

• Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus

• Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

Less than a year ago, rumors and leaks pointed to a significant shakeup in the Galaxy S26 line. It was said that Samsung would rename the base model to S26 Pro, drop the Plus model that sat in the middle of the annual lineup for years, and replace that with a new Edge phone modeled after last year's S25 Edge (which was something of a flop). However, that's apparently no longer happening, and you can thank Apple for that, per Korean outlet NewsPim (via 9to5google).

How will the S26 differ from the S25? Credit: James Martin / Mashable

Due to Apple's success in offering significant year-over-year upgrades to the base iPhone 17 (such as a 120Hz display) without raising the price, Samsung has reportedly dropped the Pro branding for the base model and reverted it back to just the Galaxy S26, which was corroborated by a separate report from SamMobile. According to that report, you can expect a retread of the usual S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra lineup in 2026. That may be disappointing to anyone who was expecting a big shakeup based on previous reporting, but if nothing else, it makes it easier to keep track of what's going on.

As for the previously rumored S26 Edge, it's unclear what's going to happen with that. It might be dead, or it might come out later in the year as a separate release like the S25 Edge did. Given that phone's relative lack of success, it might be smart to assume there won't be an S26 Edge at this point.

Galaxy S26 rumored specs

For specs, the rumors aren't particularly surprising. The Galaxy S26 series is currently rumored to have the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, which Qualcomm rebranded to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. There is also a rumor that Samsung will equip some S26 models with an Exynos chip, which Samsung fans hope is the Exynos 2600, which has also been making some noise in the rumor mill lately.

In terms of the small stuff, like storage and RAM, there have been some small rumblings. One rumor says that the Galaxy S26 (all models) will feature 16GB of RAM, a 4GB increase from the last few years, and the most a Galaxy phone has had since the Galaxy S21 Ultra. In terms of storage capacity, there are no rumors that anything will change, so the 128GB base (256GB on the Ultra) is likely to remain in place for now, with upgraded storage available as an option. 

Galaxy S26: Is a price hike coming?

We're in the midst of a major global memory shortage, and this has been very bad news for smartphone and laptop shoppers (you can blame the AI industry for hogging all the RAM). And according to leaker @kro_roe, this could not only lead to an S26 price hike, but also the end of a popular launch offer.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Typically, when Samsung launches a new phone, customers who pre-order or purchase at launch can claim double the storage at no extra cost. But with RAM in short supply, that may no longer be the case. The most recent rumors suggest that Samsung hasn't landed on a final price for the S26 phones, however.

That last part is important because it's very possible that the prices won't change after all. At least one new report suggests Samsung is trying to make sure the prices don't increase from last year, even if that means the company has to eat some of the cost of each unit sold.

Battery and charging

Based on early rumors, this may be one of the most interesting changes coming to the S26 lineup. Samsung has been working on a stacked battery design that would allow for more dense batteries in the same physical space. This could bring a long-awaited bump to battery size. According to early rumors, the S26 Ultra is slated to come with a 5,500 mAh stacked battery, a 10 percent increase from the S25 Ultra.

Samsung reportedly experimented with removing a camera to add even more battery capacity, but that doesn't mean it's certain to happen in the mass-produced model. While the S26 Pro was rumored to have a bigger 4,900mAh battery compared to previous base model Galaxy phones, NewsPim's report claimed that the base S26 (now that it's no longer a Pro device) has been adjusted down to a more modest 4,300mAh cell.

For charging, it’s unlikely that the Galaxy S26 series will get a serious upgrade. Samsung is definitely working on 60W wired charging, but so far, it seems that Samsung will wait for the Galaxy S27 series (or later) to implement it. This could change as we get closer to launch for the S26 series, but for now, it seems that 45W will be around for at least one more year. There are also rumors that wireless charging may see a bump to the Qi2 standard

Galaxy S26: What about the cameras?

The camera system in the Galaxy S26 series may change quite a bit, and there are a few different rumors that say different things. Jumping right in, one older rumor says that the S26 series will have the same megapixel count but will feature a new, as-of-yet unannounced sensor from the same ISOCELL GN series as prior Samsung models. On the Galaxy S26 Ultra, a 200MP camera is rumored, as is a 324MP lens with a 50MP, 3x telephoto lens. It’s more likely that Samsung will do the 200MP with a new sensor, but all leaks are being considered right now.

In addition, there are rumors that Samsung will bring back its variable aperture on the main shooter, which Samsung hasn’t included on its camera system since the Galaxy S10 series back in 2019. As previously mentioned, Samsung may be considering dropping the number of cameras to three instead of four, like on prior models, to make space for a larger battery. Other rumors about the camera include a dual periscope design that’ll magnify to 8x, but that is just speculation at this time.

However, many of these rumors come from the time when we thought Samsung was significantly altering the S26 lineup. Newer reports indicate that, at least for the base S26 and S26 Plus, things won't change that much from previous years. According to Korean outlet The Elec, those two phones will have the exact same megapixel count on the triple-lens rear array as previous Galaxy models: a 50MP wide lens, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. Those have been the specs going all the way back to the Galaxy S22. If you were hoping for big changes in the cheaper S26 models this year, you have our condolences.

As we have gotten closer to the Unpacked event, Samsung has given us a little tease about photography that's worth discussing briefly. The company announced in a very vague press release that AI editing tools for photos and videos will live in one unified app experience, rather than asking users to switch from one app to another for their AI editing needs. Whether this means all of that stuff will live in the basic camera app remains to be seen, but for frequent photo editors, this is worth keeping an eye on.

Other features and hardware

Android Police recently alerted us to a very interesting feature that could make its debut with the S26: A new mode called Privacy Display. This rumored feature would make the display resemble a frosted screen protector, except it would be built into the UI. This leak comes from Samsung itself, so it's all but confirmed.

Other details on the Galaxy S26 lineup are pretty predictable. It’ll come with the latest One UI out of the gate with the latest version of Android. That is no surprise, and we don’t need rumors to predict that one. The S26 series will likely get One UI 8.5, which is slated for a rather large redesign along with a host of new features, including the aforementioned privacy screen feature. According to rumor, the redesign emulates Apple’s Liquid Glass in some ways with transparent UI elements. 

The only other piece of hardware we haven’t talked about is the S-Pen. Samsung appears to be set to do something big with the S-Pen. The rumors speculate that the S-Pen is sticking around and will come with some upgrades. The new functionality may have something to do with how magnetic accessories work, and this seems to be linked to the aforementioned Qi2 wireless charging upgrade. 

We'll find out how much (if any) of this is true in just a matter of weeks, going by previous Samsung announcement timelines.

John Oliver has given his opinion on the current state of X (formerly Twitter) — and as you can probably imagine, he doesn't pull any punches.

In the Last Week Tonight episode above, the host summarises the many issues the platform has faced since Elon Musk took over — from changes to the verification system to users being fed right-wing content and misinformation.

"The fact is, a massive media platform has been shaped in the image of its poisonous owner, and it doesn't seem like Elon's gonna see the error of his ways anytime soon — seeing his brain seems to be thoroughly cooked by the garbage he consumes on his own site," Oliver says.

The host's conclusion? Stop posting on the platform altogether.

"There are certain areas, like news in particular, where Twitter is now worse than useless," Oliver says. "In fact, for breaking news, it is an active liability, as people routinely push out false information in the wake of tragedies and crises, often for money, and there don't seem to be many guardrails to stop them.

"All of which is really a long way of saying that the Twitter that we may have once relied on and the Twitter that was fun and occasionally useful is just well and truly gone. And collectively, while it might be sad, it might be past time for all of us to, if I may borrow a truly poisoned phrase, let that sink in."

Elite Trainer Boxes tied to major Pokémon TCG expansions don’t dip below $100 as often as we’d like to see, but this Mega Evolution box has taken us by surprise. As of Feb. 23, the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box (Mega Gardevoir edition) is available for $94.89 on Amazon, shaving 5% off its usual $99.99 price.

When checking price tracker camelcamelcamel, we have confirmed that this is definitely the lowest we’ve seen for the Mega Gardevoir ETB on Amazon this year — not dropping lower than this since before December 2025. While it’s not a massive discount on paper, sub-$95 pricing on one of 2025’s most in-demand Mega Evolution ETBs is quite a big deal considering how stock fluctuates. The release of new expansions (like Ascended Heroes) hasn’t stopped demand from staying high.

The Apple Watch SE 3 is a solid choice for those who aren't looking to have all of the bells and whistles of its high-end smartwatch siblings. We consider it our favorite smartwatch for most people, with Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth saying, "In addition to its gorgeous OLED display, it has the same S10 chip inside the Ultra 3, the same water resistance as the Series 11, and all the necessary features you're looking for in a smartwatch — all for $150 less than the Series 11." With a deal price like this, it's really worth grabbing.

To get into the specifics of what you can expect from the Apple Watch SE 3, it comes with features like an activity tracker, heart rate monitor, a daily sleep score, temperature sensing, and safety features (Fall Detection, Crash Detection, and Emergency SOS). Its battery life will last you up to 18 hours as well.

If it's caught your eye, now is an excellent time to pick up the Apple Watch SE 3 (GPS, 40mm) for less at Amazon.

We knew that Honor is about to bring its oddball Robot Phone to this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

What we didn't know, however, that the company is also bringing its first-ever AI-powered humanoid robot to the show.

SEE ALSO: MWC 2026: What to expect at the world's largest phone show

Honor announced the news on Monday via a teaser video on X, featuring both the Robot Phone and its robotic camera, and the unnamed humanoid robot.

"Something revolutionary is about to step out of the shadows. We’ve combined cutting-edge robotics with the ultimate mobile experience. The result? Something you have to see to believe," the company wrote in a tweet.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The video actually gives us a decent glimpse of the robot, which looks just like you'd expect: a humanoid clad in matte black with a glass face, and a light bar where its eyes should be (the robot also appears to have a single camera on its forehead).

Honor shared some details about the upcoming robot with Bloomberg. Apparently, the robot will be a "service robot" which should be able to help you out with shopping, among other tasks.

Other details are scarce, except that the robot will somehow be connected with Honor's Robot Phone, which will also be shown in Barcelona.

Mashable will be there to cover Honor's event in Barcelona, which kicks off at 7 a.m. ET on March 1, 2026, so stay tuned for more updates on the company's fast-expanding robotics portfolio of products.

The explicit tube site Pornhub is now blocked in 23 U.S. states.

This is due to age-verification laws. These laws vary state by state, but typically require visitors of a site with over a third of explicit content to submit a government ID or other form of age authentication. Louisiana was the first state to enact such a bill a couple of years ago, and now others have followed suit. In June, the Supreme Court deemed Texas's age-verification law constitutional, setting a precedent for such bills that come before and after.

SEE ALSO: Porn censorship is going to destroy the entire internet

According to one preliminary study, age verification won't work to keep minors off porn sites. This is because of software like VPNs that allow someone to appear to be in a different location, and because of non-compliant websites. (The Florida attorney general is suing foreign-based porn sites for not instituting age verification.) Yet, these laws keep getting passed — and are encroaching on non-explicit websites as well, experts told Mashable.

While Pornhub is not blocked in Louisiana, it is blocked in these states, a Pornhub representative confirmed to Mashable:

• Alabama

• Arizona

• Arkansas

• Florida

• Georgia

• Idaho

• Indiana

• Kansas

• Kentucky

• Mississippi

• Missouri

• Montana

• Nebraska

• North Carolina

• North Dakota

• Oklahoma

• South Carolina

• South Dakota

• Tennessee

• Texas

• Utah

• Virginia

• Wyoming

Pornhub isn't blocked in Ohio despite the state's age-verification law, due to a clause stating that establishing age verification methods doesn't apply to a provider of an interactive computer service (Aylo considers itself one).

In Louisiana, where users must submit ID to view Pornhub, the site has seen traffic decline by around 80 percent, Aylo (Pornhub's parent company) told Mashable.

"These people did not stop looking for porn. They just migrated to darker corners of the internet that don't ask users to verify age, that don't follow the law, that don't take user safety seriously, and that often don't even moderate content. In practice, the laws have just made the internet more dangerous for adults and children," Aylo stated when asked for comment by Mashable back in January.

In a statement to Mashable, Aylo continued:

First, to be clear, Aylo has publicly supported age verification of users for years, but we believe that any law to this effect must preserve user safety and privacy, and must effectively protect children from accessing content intended for adults.

Unfortunately, the way many jurisdictions worldwide have chosen to implement age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous. Any regulations that require hundreds of thousands of adult sites to collect significant amounts of highly sensitive personal information is putting user safety in jeopardy. Moreover, as experience has demonstrated, unless properly enforced, users will simply access non-compliant sites or find other methods of evading these laws.

Industry experts say that, in addition to not working for their intended purpose, age verification laws also raise concerns about privacy protection and safety since websites now have to host (even more of) people's personal information. It will be harder to be anonymous online, which experts warn is dangerous to free speech. Adult industry experts Mashable spoke to in an explainer on age-verification laws advocated for device-level filters, as did Aylo in its statement.

Some in the adult industry worry about what Trump's second presidential term will bring due to the conservative policy outline Project 2025 and its measures to ban porn. One of Project 2025's authors, Russell Vought, was caught on a secret recording stating that age-verification laws are the "back door" to a broader porn ban.

TL;DR: The Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE wireless gaming mouse is down to $66.99 at Amazon — a $40 discount off its $109.99 list price and its lowest price of the year so far.

If you’ve been holding out for a premium wireless gaming mouse without paying triple digits, Corsair is giving you a solid reason to upgrade today. As of Feb. 23, Amazon has cut the Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE to $66.99, shaving $40 off its regular $109.99 price. 

That’s a 39% discount on a fully loaded FPS/MOBA mouse built for speed and customization — the lowest price we’ve currently seen this year, confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel.

The Dark Core Pro SE gives you three ways to connect: sub-1ms Corsair Slipstream Wireless, low-latency Bluetooth, or wired via USB-C. Inside, it’s powered by a custom PixArt PAW3392 optical sensor with up to 18,000 DPI and hyper-polling technology that communicates with your PC at up to 2,000Hz. That’s twice the standard polling rate for gaming mice.

What’s more, you also get eight fully programmable buttons for macros and remaps, onboard storage for up to three profiles, and nine-zone dynamic RGB backlighting controlled through Corsair’s iCUE software. If you like to have specific loadouts for different types of games — MOBAs like League of Legends, shooters such Arc Raiders, or trading card-based games along the lines of Magic: The Gathering Arena — iCUE can have you ready for any title with just a quick switch.

The contoured shape includes interchangeable side grips for a more tailored feel, and Qi wireless charging support makes topping up its 50-hour battery effortless.

The Logitech G305 is also on sale at its lowest price this year — now as low as $26.99. If you're keen on competitive features and RGB, Razer’s Basilisk V3 Pro wireless gaming mouse is now only $89.

SAVE $700: As of Feb. 23, the Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop is on sale for $1,299.99 at Amazon. This deal saves you $700 on its list price of $1,999.99.

It's coming up on that point in the year when it's time to think about spring cleaning. If you're hoping to have a little extra help when it comes to tidying up your floors this year, it's worth looking into a robot vacuum. And for those looking for a premium model that can tackle both vacuuming and mopping, there's quite a few discounts to explore right now. At Amazon, this includes a deal on the Roborock Saros Z70.

The Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop usually comes with a hefty price tag of $1,999.99, but for a limited time Amazon has dropped its price down to $1,299.99. This marks a return to its lowest-ever price, so if you've been hoping to splash out on this fancy device, now is a great time to grab it.

The Saros Z70 boasts powerful cleaning performance: 22,000Pa suction power for vacuuming and 200RPM pad spinning speed alongside 30 adjustable water flow levels for mopping. It also features the StarSight Autonomous System 2.0 for smart navigation and obstacle avoidance. It's most unusual feature is the OmniGrip mechanical arm, which can move things like socks and tissues out of the way. In our review from Mashable's Leah Stodart, she said "the arm has been so hit or miss for me that I'd probably just turn the feature off completely."

However, she does note that mopping is where the Saros Z70 really shines, saying she's "so glad that Roborock opted to give the Z70 dual spinning mopping pads like the Saros 10R has." She continued on to say that, "they provide better angles and floor agitation to scrub drier stains."

Since it's listed as a limited-time deal, it may not stay on sale for very long. Now is the time to make a move on the Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop.

Awards season is into the very thick of it now, with the 2026 BAFTA winners announced on Sunday.

Ahead of the Oscars, the 79th British Academy Film Awards celebrated an outstanding 2025 in movies, with this year's ceremony hosted by Alan Cumming at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London.

Sinners had 13 nominations, winning three including Best Original Screenplay for Ryan Coogler and Best Supporting Actress for Wunmi Mosaku.

Hamnet and Marty Supreme had 11 nominations each; the former won two for Outstanding British Film and Best Actress for Jessie Buckley, with the latter going home with no awards.

I Swear's Robert Aramayo had one of the biggest wins of the night, beating Timothée Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor and taking home the EE Rising Star award. British films that weren't as represented at the Oscars, including Pillion, 28 Years Later, and The Ballad Of Wallis Island, saw well-earned nominations, though without awards.

Whatever mad scientist is responsible for bringing together Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, you have my sincerest thanks.

The two star in NBC's The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, a sports mockumentary from 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Robert Carlock and Sam Means. At first glance, Morgan and Radcliffe may seem like an unexpected pair: one a boisterous comedy legend, the other the lead of one of the most successful fantasy franchises of all time. Yet their odd-couple dynamic turns Reggie Dinkins into pure gold.

Morgan plays Reggie Dinkins, a former running back for the New York Jets whose career imploded after a gambling scandal. Years later, he's ready for an image rehabilitation, so he enlists Academy Award–winning director Arthur Tobin (Radcliffe) to make a documentary about his life.

Of course, what Reggie wants and what Arthur wants are two very different things. Reggie wants to look perfect, scripting out his every on-camera move. Arthur wants the truth, hoping to paint a picture of the man behind the public disgrace. That contrast — as well as their clashing worlds of pro sports and documentary filmmaking — fuels Morgan and Radcliffe's irresistible chemistry.

From SNL to 30 Rock, there's no denying Morgan's hilarity. Radcliffe, too, has shown off his comedic chops in projects like Miracle Workers and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend. While their Reggie Dinkins characters gel like rubber and glue at first, Morgan and Radcliffe are the comedy equivalent of peanut butter and jelly: perfectly complementary, and a joy to savor.

Morgan brings a lot of his heightened 30 Rock zaniness to Reggie, dropping outrageous line reads that will burn in your brain. Radcliffe often plays more of the straight man to Morgan's documentary-staging hijinks, but Reggie Dinkins quickly reveals that Arthur isn't as buttoned-up as he appears. Whether he's crashing out on a Marvel movie set or joyfully jazz scatting, there's a high-energy dork beneath Arthur's auteur surface, and Radcliffe brings that to life with gusto.

Morgan and Radcliffe are joined by a cast of comedy heavy hitters, including Bobby Moynihan as Reggie's best friend Rusty and Erika Alexander as Reggie's ex-wife and manager Monica. Moynihan is perfect as a lovably daffy wild card, and Alexander works wonders as a savvy businesswoman whose competitiveness is ready to jump out at any moment. Rounding out the main cast are Precious Way as Reggie's fiancée Brina and Jalyn Hall as Reggie and Monica's son Carmelo. The two younger actors fit right at home in this cast of more established names, and the result is an ensemble that blends brilliantly right off the bat.

The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins is catnip for 30 Rock fans. Credit: Scott Gries / NBC

Between Morgan, Carlock, and Means' involvement, Reggie Dinkins spoke to my 30 Rock-loving soul. The show keeps up 30 Rock's same lightning-fast clip, peppered with unexpected, biting pop culture references and cutaway gags that will have you gasping for air. Clips from Reggie's spokesperson days recall Jenna Maroney's strangest advertisement work, while a glimpse of Reggie's music career has me hoping for a "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah"-level banger down the line. (Brina's ultra-catchy Reggie jingle, used as the song's theme, is already an earworm.)

Reggie Dinkins being a mockumentary does switch up the 30 Rock formula a bit, adding in confessionals and some The Office-style Jim looks to camera. Carlock and Means have already proven they can nail the mockumentary style thanks to episodes like 30 Rock's reality show parody "Queen of Jordan" or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's true crime riff "Party Monster." Their familiarity with the genre gets a bigger chance to shine across a full season, especially as they bring behind-the-scenes characters like Arthur in front of the camera. Watching Arthur embrace being on-camera adds a new dimension to the show's mockumentary approach, setting it apart from the strong crop of current mockumentary sitcoms like Abbott Elementary, St. Denis Medical, and The Paper. As a result, and with the inspired combination of Morgan and Radcliffe, Reggie Dinkins is a winning sitcom that feels both familiar and fresh.

The first episode of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins is now streaming on Peacock. New episodes air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, and stream the following day on Peacock.
