It was quite the year for freshmen network comedies in that two – Abbott Elementary and Ghosts – managed to get Millennials to do something we haven’t done regularly in years: Watch network TV. Okay, if you’re like me, you’ve watched the first seasons of these two excellent shows (bonus points if you started Abbott Elementary […]
Conversations with Friends, Hulu’s second miniseries based on a Sally Rooney novel after last year’s smash hit success Normal People, stalls out midway through its 12-episode run and never manages to get back on track to make the series a worthwhile watch. Having not read the book the series is based on, I don’t know […]
Early on in the series premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, there’s a name drop that is meant to peak the audience’s interest: Captain Pike (the excellent Anson Mount) has requested a Lieutenant Kirk to join the crew compliment. Any Trek fan worth their salt is aware that Pike was the captain of the […]
And with that, we bid farewell to Star Trek: Picard season two (while we wait on pins and needles for the highly promoted Next Generation reunion to come in season three – although Jeri Ryan has gone on record saying that she will be making at least an appearance in the final season of the […]
What a fitting end to a disappointing series. In fact, it was such a disappointing ending that I genuinely didn’t realize it was the end of the episode until the credits began rolling – that’s how anticlimactic and messy the episode was.

This was the first episode of this season of Picard that felt wholly of what fans are terming “Old Trek*” – you know, classic Next Generation or Voyager where the good guys manage to fight against seemingly insurmountable odds while battling inner demons to reach a key moral by the close of the episode. And, […]
Shining Girls, a psychological thriller coming to AppleTV+ that is based on the novel by the same name, is a curious television series. After watching the entire eight episode first season provided for critics, I know I enjoyed what I saw, but I also have far more questions than answers – and I’m at a […]
Well, the penultimate episode of Moon Knight was far more concerned with explaining just what turned Marc Spector into Steven Grant than it was with taking steps to solve any of the key narrative arcs the show set-up at its outset. Which is all well and good, if you were looking for an MCU series […]
This week’s episode of Picard felt, much like Jurati’s mind, fractured in its effectiveness. Some elements worked very well – Jurati Queen’s continued plot to assimilate Earth, Soong’s downward spiral, the revelation that Q is dying and doesn’t seem to know how to go gentle into the dark night – while other pieces felt half-baked […]
