From the opening frames of Katrine Brocks’s Danish drama The Great Silence, it’s clear that something is rotten in, well, if not the state of Denmark, then in the convent in which postulant Alma is living. Mere weeks from taking her final vows, Alma appears to be content to spend the rest of her life […]
After watching six of the eight episodes of The Peripheral – a new sci-fi puzzlebox drama from Prime Video – I honestly don’t know what to make of the show. An adaptation of William Gibson’s book of the same name (part of a series of books, which one presumes Prime is hoping to adapt further […]
After the highs of “The Eye,” it would have been easy for Andor to take a beat, allow its characters to collect themselves, and take a week off before delving into the next great set piece of the series. So, it says a lot about the series that “Announcement” felt almost as tense as the […]
Leading up to that final moment – you know the one, Rhaenys sitting atop her dragon, staring down Alicent and her entire family – I had already planned my entire review for “The Green Council,” the penultimate episode of season one of House of the Dragon. I was going to dissect Alicent’s state of mind […]
Well, that was a finale that delivered on all the promises the series set forth in its premiere. We were shown the identity of Sauron (which I was wrong about last week, although I’ll give myself partial credit for outlining all the ways Halbrand could be Sauron in a previous review), we learned that The […]
Well, I’ll say one thing: It’s hard to write a review of a television series when the writers essentially craft a finale that says, “We’ve heard your past complaints, anticipated your current worries, and course corrected to make them all moot.” Because that’s essentially what “Whose Show is This?”, the first season finale of She-Hulk […]
It’s truly something that a series, centered around a character we all know will be making it out alive and well, can create such a deep feeling of suspense that it has you on the edge of your seat during a heist like this one. But Andor pulled it off – completely – making us […]
And with the death of King Viserys at the close of the eighth episode of House of the Dragon, the Dance of the Dragons has begun. But before we get to that moment within “The Lord of the Tides” – an episode that handles a good deal of expositional work to lay the final bit […]
“The Eye,” the penultimate episode of The Rings of Power’s first season, had the tricky task of bridging between the best episode of the season (the epic Battle of the Southlands) and the season finale. And, on the whole, it did a serviceable job wrapping up the devastation of the battle, setting things in motion for […]
Ok, point made, She-Hulk. You already know all the theories people were going to have about your sudden turn into the superhero world after a season nicely ensconced in the legal comedy with a side of superhero hijinks realm. I will fully admit that I laughed out loud when Jen broke the fourth wall to suggest […]
