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. But “Nobody’s Listening!” absolutely crushed it with its end of episode button and I cannot […]
Looking for a sharp, well-written, well-acted thriller to watch this weekend? Well, have I got a recommendation for you. In the era of too much TV, I suspect this gem of a psychological thriller – well, psychological drama – likely slipped past you (also, because FX opted not to air it on their broadcast wing […]
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? […]
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 […]
