A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the third and final season of the series will be based. So, these reviews will […]
I had my worries when it was announced that Varada Sethu would be joining the cast of Doctor Who as the newest companion for The Doctor, after her successful guest turn as Mundy Flynn in the first series of Who with the Fifteenth Doctor. She was great in the role – and I’m a huge […]
One of the very many things that I love about Hacks is how Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky (and the rest of their writers) seemingly write themselves into a corner in every season finale only to find a new way to get Ava and Deborah back on track the following season. Because, […]
I just . . . don’t understand what the writers are trying to do with these final three episodes. I really don’t. The revelation of who killed Lottie – while earned in the sense that it was hinted at in previous episodes with the evidence Walter and Misty found – makes little to no sense […]
There is a lot going on in Your Friends and Neighbors, the new Jon Hamm-fronted drama from AppleTV+. A lot. There are a lot of characters (played by a great set of actors who are more than capable of doing what they’re asked to do – or at least, almost all of them are). And […]
I can’t recall a series that has managed to kill off not one but two of my favorite characters in a single season (not even Game of Thrones, but that was largely because the series eventually became allergic to actually offing key characters – something that, for all its faults, one cannot accuse Yellowjackets of […]

First, the writers can throw breadcrumbs out along the way to the reveal, things that viewers can go back and discover later once the twist has been revealed (even though this grounding device […]
The Studio, the new AppleTV+ comedy from Seth Rogen (who also stars as the new head of the fictional Continental Studios, Matt Remick), Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez (who all also share writing credits on various episodes throughout), is absolutely stacked in terms of cast and creative minds. Hell, the main […]
RIP Edwin, we hardly knew you. But boy, are things about to take a turn out in the wilderness. And in the present, well, things aren’t looking so hot for Van at the moment (what are the odds that Other Tai honors that DNR Van signed back in the beginning of the season – yeah, […]
Well, we know what the goats are for – or, at least, were for, as it’s looking like there’s a revolution hitting Lumon and Mammalians Nurturable isn’t going to be providing anymore lambs for the slaughter. As for whether or not all of these Innies will end up slaughtered themselves, well, we’ll have to wait […]
