After one episode, I’m convinced the only reason Moon Knight will succeed – if it succeeds – is due to the charisma of Oscar Isaac. Because, despite what appears to be a pretty insane premise (man with dissociative identity disorder ends up possessed by an ancient Egyptian deity – who is voiced by F. Murray […]
If you’re a fan of old-fashioned spy thrillers – especially if you love a good MI5/British Intelligence yarn – then have I got a show for you. The impressively plotted Slow Horses begins this Friday on AppleTV+ and, in addition to sporting a hell of a British cast (Kristen Scott Thomas, Gary Oldman, Jonathan Pryce), […]
A sign of a good episode (at least within a serialized drama) is that it answers some questions while creating more – and with those new questions, creating a desire to find the answers. While not a ton happened within “Watcher” (outside of meeting at least the physical representation of Picard’s Watcher – more on […]
Pachinko*, AppleTV+’s stunning adaptation of Min Jin Lee’s novel, is the next great television series from the emerging streaming network. Telling the story of three generations of a Korean family, the series jumps throughout the 20th century, taking viewers from Busan in 1931 up to 1989 Tokyo as we learn about the path that brought […]
So, here we are. Like so many Trek shows before it, in the past. Will Picard manage to escape the common time travel pitfalls? Will someone be faced with making a gut-wrenching choice to lose what or who they love so that they can protect the future (I’m willing to bet this is an almost […]
With WeCrashed, AppleTV+ joins the trend of offering up a miniseries based on horrible people who had tons of power and managed to ruin other’s lives. In this case, the horrible, entitled people are Adam and Rebekah Neumann (played here by Oscar winners Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway), the co-founder of WeWork and his wife […]
Ok, Picard. I’m officially hooked on this season’s premise – albeit with the caveat that should the group make their journey to the past, trips back to the “modern” day in Star Trek tend to be a bit of a mixed bag. But I’ll save that discussion for another episode. This time around, I want […]
I was less than enthused with season one of Picard, despite being a huge fan of the titular character (as well as of Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine). It was a season of television that started off asking an interesting question – what regrets befall even the greatest among us when we are left alone […]
If you can’t wait until June 2nd for the third season of Amazon’s hit dark superhero series The Boys (and yes, I’m certainly one of those people), Amazon has provided a nice appetizer to tide you over: The Boys Presents: Diabolical. This animated series offers bite-sized stories (with episodes clocking in around 10-15 minutes in […]
If you aren’t already at your streaming service presents a miniseries about a horrible person who duped many people limit after slogging through Netflix’s Inventing Anna, might I interest you in the story of Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes? The Dropout, an eight-episode miniseries from Hulu, is significantly better than Inventing Anna, but still feels about three […]
