If you’re a massive fan of the British series Taskmaster (like I am) you’ve likely already discovered the absolute gem that is Last One Laughing UK. I, somehow, managed to completely miss the first series, and only discovered that the series existed at all midway through the run of its second series (which just wrapped […]
I’ve been pretty up and down on For All Mankind, AppleTV’s alternative history series built on the question, “What if the Soviet Union had made it to the Moon before the United States?” From that question springs a host of twists and turn on history as we know it, including the Soviet Union lasting into […]
Lisa Kudrow is extraordinary. That’s what I kept telling myself as I watched season three of The Comeback. She’s just extraordinary. The journey she – and co-creator Michael Patrick King – have taken the washed-up (but always hustling) Valerie Cherish on over the course of twenty years is nothing short of extraordinary. And while season […]
I will admit that I was wrong about Jury Duty when its screeners appeared in my inbox several years ago. I had been a big fan of the first season of The Joe Schmo Show – a 2003 series on Spike TV wherein an unsuspecting “normie” was thrust into a fake reality TV competition series, […]
When I saw the cast list for Imperfect Women, the new thriller from AppleTV+ based on the novel of the same name, I was excited to see just what it was about. Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Joel Kinnaman, Leslie Odom, Jr. What a group of excellent actors. And then I watched […]
Now that we’ve reached the end of Starfleet Academy’s first season, I wanted to take a minute to talk about where the show ended up after a bit of a rocky beginning. In my initial review of the season, I had only seen the first six episodes – three of which I really didn’t care […]
American Classic, the new small-town family comedy on MGM+, has a hell of a pedigree. For one, it stars Kevin Kline as Richard Bean, a pompous, famous thespian who suffers a massive fall from grace and returns home following the death of his mother to lick his wounds and hide from the press. Sounds like […]
When I reviewed the first season of Monarch back in November of 2023, I was pretty mixed on the series as a whole. And wouldn’t you know it, coming back for a second season, I’m just as mixed this time around as well. Because the problems that I hoped might be a bug in season […]
After the climax of the trial of the seven, this first season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (or, perhaps A Knight of the Nine Kingdoms, if we’re to go by Egg’s accounting of the official realms of Westeros – although I suspect Dorne and the Iron Islands might have a quibble with […]
When I reviewed season one of Paradise last year, I wasn’t allowed to mention that the series takes place in the aftermath of a massive volcanic eruption and nuclear bombardment with our central characters living in an underground bunker that pretty perfectly mimics life back out in the real world in the before times. Not […]
