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 […]
When one hears the phrase “Catholic Church thriller,” I suspect one thinks immediately of something like a Dan Brown/Da Vinci Code-type film, with dead bodies of Cardinals appearing in fountains in Rome and potentially blasphemous revelations about Catholic Dogma. Conclave, a new film being marketed as a thriller (and adapted from Thomas Harris’ novel of […]
Hysteria! the new horror thriller series on Peacock has a lot going for it. One look at the cast list – Julie Bowen (Modern Family), Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead), Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect, True Blood), Nolan North (a prolific voice actor who is making a welcome return to TV), and Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood, among many […]
Well, there we have it. The origin story of the MCU’s version of Wiccan, a character with complex origins in the Marvel comics (although all of them do intersect with Wanda Maximoff in some fashion). And while it was pretty close to what most folks online had guessed – he was once William Kaplan (and […]
I was luke warm on Shrinking back in early 2023 when it premiered. And now, having watched the final four episodes of season one in preparation for watching the first six of the upcoming second season, I see more of what the series was trying to do in its uneven initial series offering. That’s a […]
