Ok, Picard. I’m officially hooked on this season’s premise – albeit with the caveat that should the group make their journey to the past, trips back to the “modern” day in Star Trek tend to be a bit of a mixed bag. But I’ll save that discussion for another episode. This time around, I want […]
I was less than enthused with season one of Picard, despite being a huge fan of the titular character (as well as of Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine). It was a season of television that started off asking an interesting question – what regrets befall even the greatest among us when we are left alone […]
If you can’t wait until June 2nd for the third season of Amazon’s hit dark superhero series The Boys (and yes, I’m certainly one of those people), Amazon has provided a nice appetizer to tide you over: The Boys Presents: Diabolical. This animated series offers bite-sized stories (with episodes clocking in around 10-15 minutes in […]
If you aren’t already at your streaming service presents a miniseries about a horrible person who duped many people limit after slogging through Netflix’s Inventing Anna, might I interest you in the story of Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes? The Dropout, an eight-episode miniseries from Hulu, is significantly better than Inventing Anna, but still feels about three […]
After a long, Covid-induced, hiatus, Amazon’s flagship series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is back for its fourth season. Unfortunately for us, it’s also back with the same issues that plagued the series in its previous three seasons. When the show is focused on Midge or Susie (the great Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein, respectively), the […]
Do you ever feel like there are two of you – the professional you at work and the more “real” you in your home life? That’s the central crux of Severance, the smart new thriller from AppleTV+ – only in this case, there really are two versions of several main characters. You see, Lumon Industries […]
I’ve said time and again in my season finale reviews that a good finale doesn’t offer up a million twists and turns – it should take the story to the natural conclusion the preceding episodes have hinted at. And if that’s how one judges a finale, “In the Name of Honor” was a pretty solid […]
If I didn’t know going in that “From the Desert Comes a Stranger,” the sixth episode of The Book of Boba Fett was the series’ penultimate installment, there’s no way you could convince me of that fact simply from watching the episode. Now, if you told me it was the second episode of The Mandalorian, […]
At first glance, The Afterparty appears to be a murder mystery disguised as a chance to let a murderer’s row of comedic talents work together. And, really, it might also be that. But what you’ll find out if you keep watching this quirky and really funny comedy series is that it’s a heck of a […]
My main thought after finishing Pam & Tommy was “Why?” Why make a miniseries that had clear good intentions – centering the theft and release of the duo’s sex tape as an extreme violation of privacy and something that turned Pamela Anderson into a late night punchline while her husband Tommy Lee was treated as […]
