When it comes to new television series – especially those that deviate from the norm of what we see day in and day out – it often takes a couple of episodes for the show to teach the audience how to watch it. What I mean is, with something like She-Hulk, another cog in the […]
In this week’s installment of House of the Dragon, the series once again presented us with a host of political maneuvering – and, much as with the series premiere, the various characters and their self-serving machinations felt out-and-out boring to watch. Where Game of Thrones could make the game of thrones fun, compelling, and suspenseful, […]
One of the benefits of being a half hour comedy is that plot can move quickly – in fact it has to move quickly – to accommodate the shorter episode running time. So, where it might have taken a hour-long drama version of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law two hour-long episodes to get Jen ensconced at […]
Well, here we are, just over three years after the finale of Game of Thrones, the sour taste of that final season of one of the most popular television series of the 21st century still lingering on our tongues, to begin another saga set in Westeros.

After all, Breaking Bad had just ended a run that cemented it as […]
I am a massive fan of the 1992 film A League of Their Own. It’s one of my favorite films. My sister and I, both of whom played softball competitively (although I’m sure she would want me to stress that she was both better than me and also more dedicated to the sport, as I […]
When I last wrote about Evil, it was back in its first season – when the series was a solid, if not remarkable, drama on CBS. I’ve spent the last few weeks binging the second and the first half of the show’s third season and I’m here to tell you that the series is in […]
Considering the massive success of Stranger Things, it’s a bit surprising that we haven’t seen more networks and streaming sites attempting to find and create their own series centered around tweens stumbling into a situation where they will be called upon to save the world from outside threats. After all, there was the great “What’s […]
If you’ve jumped on the What We Do in the Shadows train (the excellent third season of which is currently airing on FX and Hulu), you’ve likely heard of Our Flag Means Death, since it includes appearances from members of the Kiwi brain trust that brought us Shadows. And if you haven’t yet watched Shadows, […]
