Spoiler Alert: This article discusses the second season of Ted Lasso, including events that occurred in the season finale. If you have not watched all of season two, please do so before continuing. Well, that was quite the ride, wasn’t it? And before I dive into this post-mortem on what worked and what was decidedly […]

Squid Game Review
Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past few weeks, you’ve likely heard of Squid Game, the Korean drama on Netflix that has taken the world by storm. You’ve also probably asked yourself if it’s worth it to dive into the series. Well, let me tell you the answer to that question is an […]
Midnight Mass Review
Midnight Mass, Mike Flanagan’s latest Netflix miniseries, has a number of the quirks that were present in his previous outings (that would be The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, for those not wholly familiar with his recent oeuvre). Now, as was the case with the other series, some of them […]
Sex Education Season Three Review
You’d be hard pressed to find a show more open and frank about sexuality than Netflix’s excellent high school drama Sex Education. And its third season offered up more of the same: serious conversations about teenage sexuality (where the teenagers are all portrayed by twentysomethings, but the intent stands), family, friendship, love, and whether or […]
Foundation Review
In a post-Game of Thrones world, every major network and streaming site has made a play for their own piece of beloved IP. HBO is continuing its Thrones universe with a prequel series. Amazon spent a ridiculous sum of money to buy the rights to the remaining Lord of the Rings stories. Netflix is sitting […]
The Morning Show – Season Two Review
I’ll admit up front that I wasn’t a huge fan of season one of The Morning Show. While I enjoyed elements of the series – particularly the work of Steve Carrell as Mitch Kessler, who managed to make you not immediately turn against his odious character, even as it became clear that he was every […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: The Other Two
Back in 2018, a new comedy premiered on Comedy Central to a solid amount of critical acclaim, but almost no one saw it. That’s the price of doing business on basic cable in today’s super saturated world of television. Thankfully, the show has returned for a second season – this time on the much more […]
Only Murders in the Building Review
Everything that Only Murders in the Building does well (and to be clear, most of what the series does, it does well) it does very well. In fact, it’s so good at smoothing over any rough edges that it’s hard to see them when they do pop up. If you’re a true crime podcast junkie […]
When I’m a Moth Review
In 1969, Hillary Rodham (soon to be Clinton) went to Alaska (Valdez, to be exact), to slime fish. It’s a surprisingly true story – as told by Clinton in her 2017 memoir “What Happened” – and it’s the seed from which the film When I’m a Moth grows. Now, the film isn’t interested in offering […]
The Chair Review
Netflix’s new miniseries The Chair is the perfect bite-sized binge. Six episodes, each clocking in at around 30 minutes, packed with plot and laced with humor, the show is fun, engaging, and a great watch. It’s a series that knows what it is – and understands the insane level of talent it possesses in front […]
