Pokémon GO takes over Cedarville?
by Daine Halsey
Pokémon GO came out in 2016, and it was a huge hit. Lots of people were intrigued by the new virtual world that it offered. It was hard to go anywhere without seeing the majority of people looking down at their phone trying to “catch ‘em all.”

If I’m going to watch something, I’d rather it be something I haven’t seen before, with that originality having a purpose beyond simply trying to surprise the audience.
All that to say, “Servant” surprised me. Indeed, I was ...
