If there’s one criticism that can be levied against the slate of Disney+ MCU television shows it’s that they have trouble with endings. WandaVision, which was one of the best MCU offerings to date, stumbled at the close. Loki packed a punch, but also needed to introduce a villain for a future MCU project, so […]

Top Ten TV Shows of 2021
Another year has flown by, and while we still remain in the clutches of a pandemic, 2021 brought with it a host of new, complex, and interesting television shows – a change from 2020, where the industry started running out of new content by year’s end. As is always the case, my list started out […]
Hawkeye – Ronin Review
It appears that my worries following last week’s episode of Hawkeye (that the show wouldn’t be able to adequately wrap up its every increasing list of storylines by series’ end) were unfounded, as this penultimate episode managed to pare down the list of remaining arcs to a precious few heading into next week’s finale. And […]
Succession Season Three Post-Mortem
When I started the season three finale of Succession, I was disappointed. After the series dropped two of the show’s biggest series bombshells in its penultimate episode – Kendall’s apparent drowning and Roman’s ill-sent dick pic – it appeared to dismiss them out of hand with two throwaway lines of dialogue. Kendall was physically fine, […]
Hawkeye – Partners, Am I Right? Review
So, Yelena showed up earlier than I had both predicted and hoped, which in an already over-stuffed episode, may signal that the Hawkeye arc is getting a bit too crowded as the series approaches its final two episodes. But outside of that reveal – and the confusing fight sequence that came about from it – […]
The Expanse Season Six Review
The Expanse has had a winding road to reach its sixth and final season. Premiering on SyFy, getting prematurely canceled, getting saved by Amazon (because it just happened to be Jeff Bezos’s favorite television show, and what’s the point of being a billionaire if you can’t ensure that your favorite TV shows live on), and […]
Benedetta Review
When I was first made aware of Benedetta, Paul Verhoeven’s latest film, earlier this year, it was pitched to me as a psychosexual story about two nuns in the 17th century. And while sure, that’s definitely an element of the story – there is absolutely a lesbian love story (and yes, it is a love […]
Hawkeye – Echoes Review
As Hawkeye races towards its climax (strange to say three episodes into a series, but with only three episodes remaining in the show – or in the season, depending on how things ultimately shake out – we’re rapidly approaching the endgame mere moments after we started the journey), the battle lines have been drawn, the […]
Pen15 Season Two, Part Two Review
On Friday, we will have to say goodbye to one of television’s smartest comedies when Hulu’s Pen15 wraps up its two-season run with the release of its final seven episodes (dubbed Season Two, Part Two). While I can report that the story itself does come to natural resolution at the end of the series (the […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: We’re Here
What do you get when you combine the frothy fun of RuPaul’s Drag Race with the emotional impact of Queer Eye? That would be We’re Here, the HBO Max series that brings drag to small town communities across the US – telling uplifting personal stories and making sure you cry at least once an episode […]
