Obi-Wan Kenobi – Episodes 1 and 2
Thus far, in the realm of live action television shows, Star Wars and Disney+ have been batting .500, with The Mandalorian a clear success (both in terms of ratings/pop culture appeal and in storytelling excellence) and The Book of Boba Fett not really working all that well – except when it served as a season […]

Moon Knight – Gods and Monsters Review
What a fitting end to a disappointing series. In fact, it was such a disappointing ending that I genuinely didn’t realize it was the end of the episode until the credits began rolling – that’s how anticlimactic and messy the episode was.
