This week’s installment of Skeleton Crew kept up the theme of expositional dumping, letting us know just what At Attin was – but crucially not what it currently is – and shedding a little light on just who Jude Law’s character is – since he’s absolutely not a Jedi, even if he does appear to […]
Usually when I sit down to write up my annual Top Ten List, I have a host of shows that I struggle to whittle down. This time around, however, while I had a decent sized list of shows to choose from, the culling process felt significantly easier than in years past because there just weren’t […]
Perhaps I’ve become a bit jaded as I’ve gotten older, but as much as I do still enjoy more feel-good comedies like ABC’s still excellent Abbott Elementary (which is crushing it once more this season, if you haven’t taken the time to dive back into it), I’ve been more drawn to some of the darker […]
Two episodes in and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is a heck of a lot of fun – for what it is. And what it is happens to be a series that owes a heck of a lot to several late 1980s/early 1990s films about kids working together to go on an adventure. Think Goonies, Stand […]
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 […]
