At first glance, The Afterparty appears to be a murder mystery disguised as a chance to let a murderer’s row of comedic talents work together. And, really, it might also be that. But what you’ll find out if you keep watching this quirky and really funny comedy series is that it’s a heck of a […]
My main thought after finishing Pam & Tommy was “Why?” Why make a miniseries that had clear good intentions – centering the theft and release of the duo’s sex tape as an extreme violation of privacy and something that turned Pamela Anderson into a late night punchline while her husband Tommy Lee was treated as […]
As eagle-eared viewers likely deduced last week, part of Fennec Shand’s plan to fight off the Pyke Syndicate involves getting our friend and their’s Din Djarin (aka Mando) to join team Boba Fett. I mean, when The Mandalorian theme music plays immediately following Fennec mentioning buying muscle, it’s kind of a foregone conclusion. The return […]
If there’s one question every TV critic hears time and again it’s: “I’ve finished Parks and Rec/The Good Place/The Office/Brooklyn 99/Schitt’s Creek and I need a new comedy. What should I watch?” If someone is looking for a show with a bit of an edge, I tend to recommend The Other Two or Mythic Quest, […]
We’re now halfway through The Book of Boba Fett and I’m still not 100% sure just what the series is trying to do. So far, we’ve seen a complex and interesting story of Fett’s past – escape from the Sarlacc Pit, learning at the side of the Tuskens, deciding he wanted to be a part […]

It is intriguing that, following the massive backlash the series finale of CBS’s juggernaut How I Met Your Mother endured, anyone thought it might be a good idea to try again – this time with a mother telling her child how she met their father. But, after several fits and starts*, How I Met Your […]
The more I watch The Book of Boba Fett, the more it reminds me of the first season of The Mandalorian: the slow, methodical pacing and the solo gunslinger fighting against darker forces trying to right a wrong – all while building up a team of allies he can use to succeed in his mission. […]
As interesting as it may be that there are new Hutts on the scene in Tatooine – and it is certainly interesting to see just how these cousins of Jabba are going to throw their considerable weight around in the coming episodes – the highlight of the second episode of The Book of Boba Fett […]
It’s amazing how much a show improves when it isn’t jumping around backward and forward through time and just telling one, relatively coherent, arc. And that’s what we get with season two of The Witcher, the smash hit fantasy epic from Netflix that returned from a long, Covid-induced hiatus at the end of December. I […]
