So, it was Kang the Conqueror all along! Or rather, some version of Kang who saw the devastation wrought by his own Variants and took steps to orchestrate a universe in which such chaos and destruction would be banished from existence. I was on the “There’s no way they introduce Kang on a Disney+ show!” […]
Full disclosure: I, unlike many women my age, never watched the original Gossip Girl series. Sure, I’m aware of the basics simply as someone who followed pop culture in the early 00s, but if you asked me to distinguish between Blair and Serena, I wouldn’t be able to. So, unlike I suspect many viewers (and […]
There are niche shows and then there are niche shows. Schmigadoon!, the musical comedy series that parodies classic musicals, certainly falls into the latter category. As a massive theatre fan, this series was right up my alley, but I suspect it won’t play nearly as well for audience members who aren’t as well-versed in the […]
The penultimate episode of any season (or even series) is usually the key piece of the story where the show puts all its ducks in a row in preparation for the finale, where all the plot threads will be tied off into a nice little bow and we, the audience, can walk away satisfied with […]
There’s nothing like a charming, quirky, and lovable television show. When you need a pick-me-up or a half hour spent with genuinely lovely characters, nothing beats a feel-good series.

And with only two episodes remaining in the series, having an episode dedicated to pushing the series towards its climax was much needed – and incredibly well executed. Nothing brings me greater joy as a viewer and as […]
The greatest strength of television is that it can provide us the chance to watch characters grow and change over the course of a longform story. This is particularly true with serialized stories, where week-to-week the plot builds upon itself while also allowing the same of the show’s characters. It’s why several seasons into a […]
In this installment of The Best Show You Aren’t Watching, our underappreciated series once again comes from AppleTV+ (the streaming service that seems to be hitting it out of the park when it comes to unassuming and quirky shows that lack big name stars – compared to their big, flashy shows that just aren’t quite […]
Things moved along at a brisk clip in this week’s installment of Loki, giving us all the remaining exposition we need to grasp just what is happening in the series, but continuing to make its delivery wholly engaging through the use of the MCU’s newest buddy team: Mobius and Loki (yeah, I never thought that […]
If you are going to have a series centered around a number of unlikeable people, you have to give your audience a reason to root for them (hell, even just a reason to root for one of them can be enough). In the era of Peak TV, we were shown a host of antiheroes (think […]
