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 […]
If you’ve spent the last 35 or so years wondering how Boba Fett could escape from the Sarlacc pit, today was your lucky day as the first episode of Disney+’s The Book of Boba Fett offered up the answer right out of the gate. Since his first appearance in Star Wars Holiday Special, Fett has […]

Another year has flown by, and while we still remain in the clutches of a pandemic, 2021 brought with it a host of new, complex, and interesting television shows – a change from 2020, where the industry started running out of new content by year’s end. As is always the case, my list started out […]
It appears that my worries following last week’s episode of Hawkeye (that the show wouldn’t be able to adequately wrap up its every increasing list of storylines by series’ end) were unfounded, as this penultimate episode managed to pare down the list of remaining arcs to a precious few heading into next week’s finale. And […]
When I started the season three finale of Succession, I was disappointed. After the series dropped two of the show’s biggest series bombshells in its penultimate episode – Kendall’s apparent drowning and Roman’s ill-sent dick pic – it appeared to dismiss them out of hand with two throwaway lines of dialogue. Kendall was physically fine, […]
So, Yelena showed up earlier than I had both predicted and hoped, which in an already over-stuffed episode, may signal that the Hawkeye arc is getting a bit too crowded as the series approaches its final two episodes. But outside of that reveal – and the confusing fight sequence that came about from it – […]
