The Copenhagen Test is the type of series that frustrates me more than anything. It’s got a cast of rising stars – Simu Liu (Barbie, Shang-Chi), Melissa Barrera (Scream V and VI), and Sinclair Daniel (The Other Black Girl) – with a stellar supporting cast – Brian d’Arcy James (Spotlight), Kathleen Chalfant (The Affair), Saul […]

Pluribus – La Chica o El Mundo Review
Well, that was a hell of a mic drop last line – and something fun to tide us over until we get that second season (which has already been greenlit by Apple, so fear not, it is coming). But what a wild ride. We got to see just who Manuosus really is – and how […]
Pluribus – Charm Offensive Review
Oh Carol. I don’t think that attempt at appeasement ended up the way you thought it would. Although, I’m also not completely convinced that there isn’t some aspect of the original Zosia still lingering under that hive mind, slowly seeping out through the cracks. And then there’s Manuosos, who’s inching ever closer to Albuquerque, expecting […]
Top Ten TV Shows of 2025
For the first time since I began creating annual top ten lists – over a decade ago, now – I actually had to struggle to find shows to select. It’s not that there wasn’t a lot of good TV this year – there was, as you’ll see from reading through my various reviews over the […]
Pluribus – The Gap Review
Well. That was quite the episode. And, for my money (having not seen the last two episodes of the season just yet) the best one so far in Pluribus’s freshman season. After watching Carol actively push everyone and everything away – both in her quest to discover a means to put the world back the […]
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season Two Review
There’s something simple and utterly delightful about Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Disney+’s adaptation of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson book series. It’s the rare show that works on two levels – it’s clearly aimed primarily at a younger audience, but it also has more than enough interesting beats and fun casting choices to keep adults […]
Pluribus – HDP Review
Well, we learned an awful lot about the Others, their particular world view, and just what they can and cannot do to the world around them and the Survivors themselves this week. Oh, and we also got a bit more time with Manousos, Carol’s best chance at a partner in crime when it comes to […]
Spartacus: House of Ashur Review
Jupiter’s cock, there’s a new season of Spartacus heading to Starz this weekend. Now, if everything in the last sentence made absolutely no sense to you, Spartacus: House of Ashur is probably not the right show for you to dive into right now – but more in a moment on what those unfamiliar with the […]
Stranger Things – Season Five Part One Review
It’s been a minute since we last visited Hawkins, Indiana to check up on how the denizens of the town were dealing with the incursion of The Upside Down – and its terrifying mayor, Vecna (or Henry Creel or One, depending on which point in time you’re dealing with him). In the three years since […]
Pluribus – Got Milk Review
So, I think it’s safe to posit that we’ve got a Soylent Green situation on our hands, no? Okay, let me back up a tad before jumping to the episode’s cliffhanger ending (or, at least, cliffhanger-esque – the potential clues for what will be revealed next week have been pretty clearly laid out for us […]
