I think it’s safe to say that Picard has had a shaky run thus far. The main culprit has been uneven storytelling and character development, taking a universally beloved character in Jean-Luc Picard and saddling him with a story that doesn’t work alongside new characters who don’t pop the way his former crew members of […]
I love a creative sci-fi drama. I also love a reto-set story that pulls from sci-fi to create a cool blend of mid-century style with futuristic elements that set the series apart from your usual 50s/60s-set stories. And that’s essentially what Hello Tomorrow!, a new AppleTV+ series from Amit Bhalla and Lucas Jansen is – […]
After five episodes – all stellar, smart, and well-constructed – I think it’s become clear just what makes The Last of Us work as well as it does. Sure, there’s a pre-ordained narrative for the writers to follow (even if they take some liberties from the source material at times, it, thus far, only serves […]
After last week’s emotional tour de force, The Last of Us made the right move in taking a beat before fully diving into the next confrontation for Joel and Ellie. Now, I’m sure there will be some people who want the series to be more of a go, go, go narrative arc, but this is […]
It will only take you about two episodes to figure out if Dear Edward, an adaptation of the novel of the same name, will be your type of show. For me, it definitely wasn’t. But I suspect it’s a series that will find an audience – largely because shows with a similar look, feel, and […]
This show, man. I’m absolutely stunned that, in only its third episode, The Last of Us could manage to craft such a gorgeous, haunting, human, and heartbreaking story over the course of an hour – one that never felt cloying, silly, or overdone – and present us with two characters who we had only just […]
Extraordinary, the new British superhero comedy series coming to Hulu this week, has an apt title. After watching the entire first series, I found myself – on more than one occasion – calling the series extraordinary when mentioning it to friends and family. It’s absolutely better than anyone would think it would be. After all, […]
As we continue to wait for the third (and reportedly final) season of AppleTV+’s hit comedy series Ted Lasso, the streaming service has provided us with something to tide us over: Shrinking, a new comedy series from the team behind Ted Lasso (that would be Bill “Scrubs” Lawrence and Brett “Roy Kent” Goldstein), along with […]
Well shit. I didn’t expect that. Perhaps it’s years of conditioning from The Walking Dead and/or Game of Thrones, to expect that a named actor (in this case, the great Anna Torv) wouldn’t be dispatched with this quickly in a show. Sure, I knew that ultimately, The Last of Us was a buddy story about […]
I’m not one for reality TV shows – unless it’s a competition cooking show, and then I’m all in – but I had heard some rumblings about the new Peacock series The Traitors, so I took some time over the holiday weekend to give it a look. And, a mere 36 hours later, I had […]
