Our latest journey into the realm of Middle Earth (or, rather, Middle Earth and the island of Numenor, as the kingdom no longer communes with their forbearers within Middle Earth) brought more of the same for the series (albeit with 100% fewer dwarf interactions, which is a major downgrade in my book). The Elves and […]
The best part of this week’s She-Hulk? It felt like a normal, individual episode of a series and not like an MCU stepping stone leading to the next big thing in the universe – even if it did manage to spoil The Sopranos for those of us who haven’t quite gotten around to watching it […]
Three episodes into House of the Dragon and I remain absolutely flummoxed as to why the series is unfolding the way that it is. It’s not that the show is churning through years of time episode to episode – I understand that it wants to jump into the actual war for the Iron Throne and […]
Say what you will about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the new massively epic from Prime Video, but my god if this isn’t the most visually stunning television series I have ever seen. The cynic in me says, “Well, it better be – the all-in cost for the series is around […]
When it comes to new television series – especially those that deviate from the norm of what we see day in and day out – it often takes a couple of episodes for the show to teach the audience how to watch it. What I mean is, with something like She-Hulk, another cog in the […]
In this week’s installment of House of the Dragon, the series once again presented us with a host of political maneuvering – and, much as with the series premiere, the various characters and their self-serving machinations felt out-and-out boring to watch. Where Game of Thrones could make the game of thrones fun, compelling, and suspenseful, […]
One of the benefits of being a half hour comedy is that plot can move quickly – in fact it has to move quickly – to accommodate the shorter episode running time. So, where it might have taken a hour-long drama version of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law two hour-long episodes to get Jen ensconced at […]
Well, here we are, just over three years after the finale of Game of Thrones, the sour taste of that final season of one of the most popular television series of the 21st century still lingering on our tongues, to begin another saga set in Westeros. This time, instead of diving into a sprawling epic […]
She-Hulk has officially arrived in the MCU in the form of a half-hour comedy – another first for the MCU – with the always great Tatiana Maslany taking on the dual role of Jennifer Walters, human attorney at law, and She-Hulk, the green alter-ego who Jen maintains remarkable control over despite her cousin Bruce’s (yes, […]
When it was first announced, all those years ago, that Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould would be putting together a prequel series to Gilligan’s Breaking Bad (on which Gould had been a key writer and director), I, like many critics, was worried. After all, Breaking Bad had just ended a run that cemented it as […]
