Invasion, the new AppleTV+ drama from co-creators Simon Kinberg and David Weil, is – you guessed it – about an alien invasion of Earth. Or, at least that’s what one assumes it is about, as after watching the five episodes initially provided to critics, there’s a whole lot of discussion, exposition, and attempts at character […]
Dune, the complex, winding novel from Frank Herbert, isn’t the easiest read. Its timeline can become twisted, its plot is at times quite dense, the scale and scope of the epic massive and at times wholly unwieldy, and it takes a good bit of time for the real narrative arc to reveal itself, before things […]
Antlers, the new supernatural horror film from director Scott Cooper (who also co-wrote the script along with C. Henry Chaisson and Nick Antosca – whose short story “The Quiet Boy” was the basis of the plot) is gorgeously directed, filmed, and acted. Unfortunately, the film’s script fails to ascend to the heights of the rest […]
Amazon has resurrected the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise (or, as much as you can call it a franchise when it only consists of a 1973 novel by Lois Duncan, a 1997 teen slasher film of the same name, and two very forgettable sequel films) and is bringing it into our present […]
If you haven’t paid attention to the ever-worsening opioid crisis in America, Dopesick will likely be an eye-opening miniseries for you. If you have, however, been aware of just what has gone on throughout the 25 or so years since Purdue Pharmaceuticals released OxyContin to the market, well, then you’ll likely find much of what […]
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 […]
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, 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
