In Tim Fehlbaum’s taut journalistic thriller September 5, we’re whisked back to the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany – a location that is familiar to those who have seen Steven Spielberg’s Munich or the Oscar-winning documentary One Day in September, although I somehow missed both films and also didn’t actually know how the events […]
I feel like I should admit up front that I’m a big fan of Michael Schur’s TV oeuvre. Parks and Recreation and The Good Place are two of my absolute favorite TV shows of all time. Brooklyn 99 and the underappreciated Rutherford Falls? I like those, too. So, I’m precisely the audience Netflix was hoping […]
It’s not possible to tell the entire complex history of The Troubles in a single nine-episode limited series. It’s not even possible to adapt the entirety of Patrick Radden Keefe’s searingly interesting 2018 book, “Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland” into a nine-episode limited series. But the series Josh […]
When we last left Silo, AppleTV+’s post-apocalyptic series about the denizens of an underground Silo – where the inhabitants are segregated by a rudimentary caste system and three individuals (the Mayor, the Judge, and the Sheriff) control the goings on in society – Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson), the former Sheriff, had opted to take her chances […]
I’m not usually one to tackle nonfiction books. Something about reading nonfiction brings me back to my school days (man, that sentence makes me sound ancient), and I can’t help but feel as if I need to take notes in order to regurgitate things back in the form of a paper. And, let’s face it, […]
I was pretty high on Bad Sisters back in 2022 when its first season premiered on AppleTV+. In fact, I designated it one of the Best Shows You Aren’t Watching – which, for me, is pretty high praise. When Apple announced that the series, which seemed to wrap things up in a nice little bow […]
Was that a perfect ending to Agatha All Along? No. But did the series come closer to fully sticking the landing than pretty much every single MCU series to date? Absolutely. I’d say it was probably only a minor deduction for a step at the end, to continue the metaphor a bit longer. On the […]
Billy Crystal, Rosie Perez, Judith Light. With a cast list that includes those names, one would expect the series to be worth a look – and, perhaps, that it might be a light comedy. Unfortunately, Before, the new AppleTV+ miniseries with each of them (created by Sarah Thorp) is neither. This overlong, often ridiculous Sixth […]
I will openly admit that I’m in denial when it comes to the fact that the upcoming third season of HBO’s exceptional dramedy Somebody Somewhere will be its final one. Where is the justice in the television world where a series this rich, this funny, this emotionally satisfying can’t run in perpetuity? I cannot think […]
This show, man. This show. What an absolute stunner of an episode, taking full advantage of having a heavyweight like Patti LuPone at their disposal, writers Gia King and Cameron Squires crafted an episode perfectly attuned to her unique set of skills – even if that didn’t include her getting to sing a solo version […]
