It’s rare that I get angry while watching a series, but I was definitely angry whilst watching The Crowded Room, the new mystery box drama from AppleTV+. Now, over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out twists and turns in shows. Part of that comes from having to watch so much television for […]

Based on a True Story Review
After two episodes of Based on a True Story, I was ready to throw in the towel and admit defeat. A scattered beginning, unlikeable and thinly drawn characters, and a premise that I wasn’t thrilled about marred the show’s opening episodes. But, as it’s my professional rule to give every show I review at least […]
Ted Lasso Season Three (Series?) Finale: Post-Mortem
A strong series finale can go a long way towards helping an audience forget about minor bumps and bruises a show provided through an uneven series run. But what it can’t do is take a beloved series that almost fully lost sight of everything that made it great in its final run of episodes and […]
Succession Series Finale: Post Mortem
In the end, the number one boy of Succession was the guy who had been willing – since the inception of the series – to put himself in just the right position to secure his continued success. He didn’t seek out power for himself; rather, he placed himself just close enough to the power centers […]

Platonic Review
The curious thing about friendships is that only the best, strongest, and most resilient of them last. As a person slides through the years, their friendships tend to fall away as one ages and grows, and only a select few manage to stay moored to a person as they traverse the seas of life. And […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Perry Mason (Season Two)
As someone who, in my previous life, was an attorney, I have a hard time watching shows about the legal process and taking them seriously. After all, it can become distracting when you know a character should have objected to a line of questioning – or shouldn’t have been allowed to object to a line […]
City on Fire Review
City on Fire, the new AppleTV+ series from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (both best known for The O.C. and Gossip Girl) and based on the novel of the same name from Garth Risk Hallberg, has a lot of DNA in common with those soapy primetime dramas. And, if you’re someone who enjoys a series […]
Bupkis Review
I’ll be the first to admit that I really don’t understand the appeal of Pete Davidson, the former SNL star who has found himself the fascination of the tabloids, gossip sites, and the world at large (through little of his own doing) over the past several years. I’ve found him to be fine in his […]
Silo Review
If you’ve seen any of the myriad of post-apocalyptic television shows, films, or read any of the books out there, you likely have a basic understanding of the various forces at work within Silo, the new dramatic thriller from AppleTV+, adapted from the series of novels under the same name from Hugh Howey. But the […]
