The fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a strange amalgam of the best things about the series (chiefly, its two leading ladies) and the most annoying (the characters, the uneven pacing) – along with the both interesting and frustrating new addition of copious time jumps throughout episodes. In short, if you’ve […]
Well, that wasn’t quite the episode I was expecting at this stage of the game for Star Trek: Picard, but it did its job (which was to dispense of our first villain and move the story a step closer to resolving the main conflict of the season – what’s going to happen at Frontier Day). […]
Well, that was an utterly anticlimactic episode of television. In truth, it felt much more like an episode of Law and Order than an episode of The Mandalorian (complete with the guilty party being the most famous actor who appears at a seemingly inconsequential moment in the action). Sure, we got some big named – […]
I had incredibly high hopes for Tiny Beautiful Things. Kathryn Hahn, who is having a hell of a moment, leading a dramedy about a woman falling apart while trying to provide advice to others? That sounds like the recipe for a truly great series. Throw in Merritt Weaver – who always makes everything better, which […]
In my review of season one of Schmigadoon!, I worried that the series might not appeal to those who weren’t, like me, big time musical theatre fans. After all, if you can’t tell your Lerner and Loewe from your Rogers and Hammerstein, would you really care about a television series parodying their biggest hits and […]
Have you ever wondered just how the Pink Ladies of the musical Grease got their start? Well, wonder no more, as Paramount+ is continuing to dig deep into their existing IP well of content (after successfully rebooting its once dormant Star Trek franchise over the last several years – well, somewhat successfully) to craft new […]
Oh god. Poor Tuvok. For some reason, until that reveal – and the rather graphic description of just what torture Tuvok was being forced to endure – the true danger of the Changeling infiltration hadn’t really hit me. Sure, they might (read: almost certainly will) try to blow up the Fleet at Frontier Day (along […]
Now we’re getting somewhere! After a slow start to season three (with some pretty great highs, but a lot of running in place in terms of a central season arc), The Mandalorian has placed its chips on the table to let us know just what we’re looking at for the remainder of the season arc. […]
The Big Door Prize, the new dramedy series from AppleTV+ (adapted from M.O. Walsh’s book of the same name) looks at how group-think – and predictions of the future – can impact a town and force people to take a good hard look at their lives and who they want to become. The plot itself […]
If there’s one clear theme in this final season of Picard, outside of the delivery of fan service by the truckload – done in such a way that it neither feels like it’s pandering nor like it’s simply checking a box, no small feat indeed – it’s family, both in the Fast and the Furious […]
