Season five of The Crown, the penultimate season of Netflix’s look into the life and times of Queen Elizabeth II (and her family and close associates) was released last week on the streaming service. And while the wait for this season was longer than in the past – thanks to filming delays due to the […]
The third season of Mythic Quest, that other workplace comedy on AppleTV+, premiers on Friday, November 11, and it’s in fine form. While the series has more bite than its streaming service partner Ted Lasso, the third season is decidedly more balanced and better structured than its more popular cohort – and really cements itself […]
What a spectacular hour of television. From the thrilling prison break to the revelation of a double agent within the midst of the Imperial Security Bureau, this episode really had it all. And that included the chance to see two great actors – Stellan Skarsgård and Andy Serkis – really get the chance to show […]
I wanted to like The English, the new western series from British writer/director Hugo Blick, which premieres on Prime Video on November 11. After all, I enjoy the show’s two stars – Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer – and I’m always down for a western. But, after watching the six episodes of the show provided […]
I’ve complained in the past about Andor feeling more like a film cut into episodic slices, with endings that didn’t push the narrative forward, leaving us with a lack of momentum leading into the week-long wait until the next episode.

There are few things I enjoy more than when a series pulls together an episode that allows us to see just how a seemingly disparate group of characters – scattered around a country, planet, galaxy – are all interconnected in ways you wouldn’t have anticipated when the series begin. “Narkina 5” was that episode for […]
What would you do if, at 37 with your entire life ahead of you – newly married, a new parent, career on the way up – you received a diagnosis that essentially gave you only years to live? Most people would probably break down, terrified, angry, unable to see a way forward. Brian Wallach and […]
RIP Lucerys Valeryon, Heir of Driftmark. We hardly knew ye (seriously, we hardly knew you – as in I had to look up how to spell Lucerys). It’s all fun and games until your uncle, who looks as old as his mother – seriously, for all the excellent casting work the show has accomplished, and […]
When one survives unspeakable violence to find safety and prosperity on the other side, does one have a duty to maintain allegiance to those who provided it for you? How about if that source of safety, prosperity, and comfort is your spouse – a much older man – who loves you in his own way? […]
