Now that is the kind of episode I’ve been waiting to see from Obi-Wan Kenobi since we started on this journey a month ago. With Part V – and with only one more episode left to go – we finally get a chance to see just who our central characters really are at this stage […]

Ms. Marvel – Crushed Review
Color me impressed: It’s hard to pull off as complete a premiere episode as Ms. Marvel did last week – one where the characters are clear, distinct, and interesting and the cast already feels at home in their skin. But to do it again with the second episode of the series – a point where […]
Obi-Wan Kenobi – Part IV Review
When Obi-Wan Kenobi was about to be released, much was made in the TV critic sector over claims from star Ewan McGregor that the series would be a “six-hour movie.” Now, for TV critics, hearing a star or a showrunner make such a proclamation is hardly new – it is a constant refrain, especially when […]
Ms. Marvel – Generation Why Review
Joy. That’s the word that came to mind again and again while watching “Generation Why,” the first installment of the new MCU/Disney+ miniseries Ms. Marvel. Bright, fun, and honest, the coming-of-age story of Kamala Kahn (the future Ms. Marvel of the title) already feels like a different journey in the Marvel universe. More analogous to […]
For All Mankind Season Three Review
I’ll be honest: I’ve struggled with what to write in this particular review. I’m not sure if I’m holding For All Mankind to a higher standard than I would another drama, considering the near perfection of its second season, or if the elements I’m taking issue with would have caused the same reaction if this […]
The Boys Season Three Review
If you had any fears that The Boys might have toned down its blood, gore, nudity, and dark irony in the time since season two graced our screens, I suspect the opening sequence of season three will put all those fears to rest. I mean, after watching the entire third season, I still come back […]
Obi-Wan Kenobi – Episode Three Review
Well, we’ve reached the midway point of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and things are already starting to ramp up for the final showdown (or, rather, this final showdown – since we all know that actual final showdown will happen in about nine years) between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Now that we’ve seen just how determined Anakin remains at […]
Stranger Things Season Four Part One (Spoiler-Filled) Review
This review will include spoilers for the first seven episodes of Stranger Things’ bifurcated fourth season. If you haven’t watched the episodes and do not want to be spoiled, save this review and come back to it once you have survived the insanely long run of episodes. Well, after slogging through all seven episodes (whose […]
Obi-Wan Kenobi – Episodes 1 and 2
Thus far, in the realm of live action television shows, Star Wars and Disney+ have been batting .500, with The Mandalorian a clear success (both in terms of ratings/pop culture appeal and in storytelling excellence) and The Book of Boba Fett not really working all that well – except when it served as a season […]
Better Call Saul Mid-Season Wrap-Up
Warning: This article contains spoilers for all Better Call Saul episodes up through season six, episode seven. Do not read if you haven’t watched until that point. It also references plot points from Breaking Bad. Before the season six premiere, a friend and I put together a list of prop bets as to what might […]
