Out of the six episodes of season two I’ve seen, “Woe’s Hallow” was far and away my favorite (and that’s saying something, as my pre-season review can attest: I loved all of these episodes). I’ll also admit that the first time I watched the episode, it was directly after finishing episode three, (which, you may […]

James Review
Like most Americans, I read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” in high school (sophomore year, in Honors American Literature, to be precise). And I distinctly recall not really liking the book. I’m not sure if it was a case of not caring all that much about a story about a young boy coming of age […]
Severance – Who Is Alive? Review
I’ll admit that this episode of Severance threw me for a loop in a number of ways and left me with more questions than answers – particularly when it comes to the Cobel arc for this season. In fact, I’ve watched it four times thus far, trying to understand just what is going on with […]
Mythic Quest Season Four Review
The brilliance of Mythic Quest’s fourth season is that it knows precisely what it needs to be and does exactly that. It doesn’t try to get too fancy or splashy. Nope. It takes the characters we know and love, the various relationships on the series – romantic, platonic, professional, and other – and uses them […]
Paradise Review
My one major takeaway upon finishing my screeners for Paradise was “Boy is Sterling K. Brown sensational at what he does.” And Brown is asked to do an awful lot in the series, leading a cast of heavy hitters through a thriller that is often uneven from a writing perspective and where we’re doled out […]
Severance – Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig
Well, this week we got to see just what our main four’s Outies were up to in the time between their Innies’ jail breaks until they reunited back on the Severed Floor at Lumon. Or, rather, we got to see a lot of what Mark and Helena were up to, more of Dylan’s Outie’s life […]
Star Trek: Section 31 Review
If you don’t know who Emperor Philipa Georgiou is and you never watched a minute of the pre-32nd century episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, then I can pretty confidently say that Section 31 is not the film for you. While the film does offer a pretty quick rehash on Georgiou’s history (as well as some […]
Prime Target Review
There are a number of mental leaps one needs to make whilst watching Prime Target, the new thriller from AppleTV+, but the chief one is that a young maths graduate student at Cambridge would not only be able to deduce the proper theorem that could, ostensibly, be used as a key to unlock all digital […]
Severance – Hello Ms. Cobel Review
And just like that – okay, after a three year wait – Severance is back! Thank Kier. And what a delightful way to throw us back into the world of Lumon, Innies, Outies (of whom we saw next to nothing this week), and Macrodata Refinement. And, I would be remiss not to mention, some absolutely […]
Skeleton Crew – The Real Good Guys Review
Now that was the kind of episode I’ve been waiting for over this last uneven string of storytelling. Sure, it was the finale so the series was able to really pull out all the stops (and definitely blew its CGI budget), but this was a series (season?) finale that managed to pull together the remaining […]
