There’s a major twist in Sugar, the new noir drama from AppleTV+. Now, I wouldn’t normally lead with this in a review, but if you don’t realize there’s a major twist coming (which would be a shock, considering the series does everything in its power to hint that there’s something more happening than just a […]
So, it turned it we got the (extremely truncated) Madelyne Pryor story arc this week – complete with little Nathan Summers getting sent to the future to save his life (which won’t screw him up in any way, no siree!) and Mister Sinister returning to try and manipulate Madelyne and Nathan to do his bidding. […]
If you’re a huge fan of “The Three-Body Problem” and looking for an extremely faithful adaptation of Cixin Liu’s novel, I highly recommend you check out the Chinese-made miniseries currently available on Peacock. If you’re like me and couldn’t make it through the first book of Liu’s trilogy – or if you’ve never read the […]
When I was a child, Saturday morning wasn’t complete without watching that week’s episode of X-Men. As someone who didn’t really follow comics growing up (my dad was a big DC fan, but I never got much into that lore – and back then, Marvel wasn’t anything like it is today). But I loved the […]
When you look at the cast list for AppleTV+’s new comedy series Palm Royale, you can’t help but be impressed. Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, Burce Dern. And that’s only the tip of the cast iceberg. You have two Oscar winners, a multiple-Oscar nominee, multiple Emmy winners (in fact, two […]
Your enjoyment of Manhunt, the new historical miniseries from AppleTV+, will likely hinge on how much you remember from your American History classes. If you can’t quite recall just who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln (that would be John Wilkes Booth, played here – with a flat American accent – by Anthony Boyle), who his Vice […]
If you’re still mourning the loss of HBO’s Our Flag Means Death, the new AppleTV+ comedy series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin might go a little ways toward filling that void in your life. Much like Our Flag Means Death, the series takes a humorous look at the life of a historical figure […]
Last year I declared that The Traitors, the new reality competition series from Peacock, was one of the best shows folks weren’t watching. Well, what a difference a year makes! It seems like I can’t go a day without having an in-depth discussion about the ins and outs of the second season of the US […]
In this era of way too much television, one of the big questions I routinely get asked by folks looking for a new binge is if the series “sticks the landing.” Want to invest the time and energy into tackling The Americans? Know that it absolutely sticks the landing. Succession? Better Call Saul? Barry? Yes, […]
Time is a flat circle, indeed, folks. And the finale of True Detective: Night Country was the perfect combination of the elements that made the series work incredibly well, and those pieces that never gelled fully and caused it to wobble throughout its six-episode run. But, while there will certainly be a continued debate among […]
