We’ve come to the close of this season of Doctor Who, which means that it’s time for Russell T. Davies to dive into the lingering mysteries of the season, hopefully offering explanations that make sense (and resonate on a deeper, character-driven level of storytelling). With part one of the two-part season finale, we get the […]
If you’ve followed any of the social media posting around The Acolyte, you’ve probably heard that this week’s episode, “Destiny,” was going to “break Star Wars.” Well, we’ve all seen it now, and I think we can agree* that while the episode injected some interesting new mythology into the world of Star Wars, it definitely […]
The Boys are back in town and yes, season four of the Prime series contains everything you’ve loved about past seasons of this series – and many of the same issues that started to seep into the storytelling in season three. It’s been two years since we last saw our heroes and villains – the […]
Before I embarked on my television critic career, I was a lawyer. Which means I have a heck of a hard time watching legal shows without finding myself yelling at the screen as they butcher the practice of law in order to make it seem suspenseful or at all interesting (because, in reality, being a […]
After last week’s emotional gut-punch of a final note (which we didn’t get any further commentary on this week, not that it was expected but it might have been a nice touch), this episode was much more in the vein of your traditional Doctor Who adventure – except much more queer than in past seasons […]
When I first heard that The Acolyte was coming to Disney+ as the latest Star Wars television series, I wasn’t all that excited about it. After all, the Star Wars live action television series have been quite the mixed bag, and the track record of late hasn’t been all that great (with Andor being the […]
On paper, Hacks seems like a deceptively simple comedy. Pair an older, well-known and battle-tested actor (that would be the great Jean Smart) with a young, relatively unknown actor (that would Hannah Einbinder, who, much like her character, has only grown in strength as the series has played out) and base the show’s comedy on […]
“What would happen if Doctor Who tried its hand at a Black Mirror episode,” seems like it could have easily been the pitch for “Dot and Bubble,” this week’s Who installment that certainly seemed to pull from the Black Mirror universe in its basic structure – including that gut-punch of a final sequence. And while […]
One of the hallmarks of a great episode of TV is that it can take you through a gamut of emotions throughout its journey to the end. And that’s precisely what “73 Yards” did, as we walked along with Ruby as she not only attempted to solve the question of just who the woman following […]
Well, that was quite the episode of Doctor Who. We got a treatise on the horrors of unchecked capitalism (timely, as always), a quick swipe toward militant religiosity (although having the military consist of various Anglican clerics of differing ranks didn’t really have enough time to gel into a statement of sorts – although, you […]
