The first season finale of The Last of Us was excellent for a number of reasons. Strong performances, once again, from our two leads – along with some great work from Merle Dandridge in her return as Marlene and Ashley Johnson (the video game’s Ellie) as Ellie’s mother, Anna.* A story that was unafraid to […]
I suspect there’s little, if anything, I or any other critic could write about the third (and possibly final?) season of Ted Lasso that could either dissuade someone or convince someone to watch the series at this point. At this stage in the game, you’ve either been thoroughly charmed by the fish out of water […]
Is it bad that Captain Shaw might be my favorite character on Star Trek: Picard this season? Ok, fine, I suppose he isn’t my favorite character, but he’s a symptom of the larger element of what is making the series feel so different this time around: fun. Everyone, from Patrick Stewart on down, is clearly […]
Well, it looks like we found the one person who can break through Bo-Katan’s tough, too-cool-for-school exterior: Grogu. Because when that little guy came rushing back to her throne room, all worried for his dad, she was pretty quick to jump into action. She was also pretty quick to pick up that dark saber and […]
Ok. I’m going to say my piece on the official Jack Crusher paternity reveal upfront in this review and then suspend my disbelief for the remainder of the series. Otherwise, I know it’s going to annoy me throughout the remainder of the season and, really, there are enough interesting mysteries still in place in this […]
My god, is Bella Ramsey a great actor. That’s what I found myself saying over and over to myself following the close of this week’s The Last of Us. After starting the series off as the closed-off counterpart to Joel – a character we knew far more about than we did Ellie, Ramsey has gotten […]
Well, that was a rather staid and uneventful season premiere, wasn’t it? Or, at least it was if you had dutifully watched all of The Book of Boba Fett and knew what transpired between little Grogu, Luke Skywalker, Ashoka Tano, and Din Djarin during the three episodes within that series that served as a season […]
There’s something special about Daisy Jones and The Six, the limited series from Prime Video adapting the bestselling book from Taylor Jenkins Reid*. The series takes what could be (and, despite its strengths, sometimes is) a rather simplistic look at a smash hit rock group from the 70s who called it quits at the height […]
Roughly 40 years ago when Mel Brooks’ comedy History of the World, Part I came out, the film ended with a teaser as to just what one might expect for a History of the World, Part II. Starting this Monday on Hulu, fans will finally get a chance to see just what other historical events […]
We all knew this was going to end in tragedy, right? I mean, it’s not like we weren’t prepped by the preceding six episodes – along with Ellie’s vague mentions of the mall from early in the season. But, as has been the case with each tragic ending we’ve experienced, it certainly doesn’t get easier […]
