I have to confess that, prior to watching Outrageous, the new period drama on BritBox, I had never heard of the Milford sisters. I was familiar with the basics of Britain during the time frame of the series (set mostly in the 1930s in the lead up to World War II) – including how things […]

Revival Review
Revival, the new Syfy supernatural horror series might feel a tad familiar. For one, it’s based on the comic series of the same name. But it also shares a bit of DNA with some past supernatural shows in its key foundational plot points. Even with all that, the series takes a bit of time to […]
Stick – Season One Review
If you’ve been lamenting that AppleTV+ doesn’t currently have a new comedy centered around a middle aged straight white man who refuses to deal with a personal trauma and instead tries to go out of his way to help those around him at the expense of his own mental health that stars a beloved (or […]
Doctor Who – The Reality War Review
If I thought last week’s penultimate episode of Doctor Who was overstuffed, well, things certainly got even more packed full of plot in this week’s season (and potentially series) finale. From dispatching the Rani (one of whom made it out alive and is still gallivanting around the galaxy to trouble The Doctor at some future […]
Hacks – Heaven Review
The interesting thing about Hacks (or, at this stage of the game, perhaps it’s both a feature and a bug of the series structure) is that each season tells an arc and ends with a reset. Usually, that reset sees Ava and Deborah at odds for some reason – whether it is Deb trying to […]
Doctor Who – Wish World Review
I’ll be the first to admit that my Doctor Who knowledge isn’t nearly as vast as many fans, largely because I’ve only watched a couple of series of the show overall – and all of them have been during the modern era of the series. So, the importance of the Rani’s return has pretty much […]
The Last of Us – Convergence Review
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 remaining seasons of the series will be based. So, these reviews will not call […]
Hacks – Slippery Slope Review
After writing about TV for so long, it’s rare that a series manages to pull one over on me. But I’ll be damned if Hacks didn’t completely hoodwink me with Deborah’s selfless sacrifice this week – the repercussions of which will reverberate into next season. There’s an adage that drama is about characters learning and growing […]
The Last of Us – The Price Review
This might end up being an unpopular opinion, but the much anticipated return of Pedro Pascal’s Joel to The Last of Us via flashback this week left me mostly cold. Now, that’s not the fault of Pascal, who was acting his ass off throughout the episode, but more so the fault of Craig Mazin and […]
Doctor Who – The Interstellar Song Contest
As an American*, I have to admit that the Eurovision Song Contest and all that it entails is rather foreign to me. (Although my social media tells me that it ended today and Austria took home the crown, so congrats to them.) Which means that the outer trappings of this week’s Doctor Who were lost […]
