The Nevers, which just aired its midseason finale for its first season, is very much a Joss Whedon television show – for good and for ill. It has the quippy dialogue, the “strong female characters,” the female lead who appears weak in society but is actually able to pack a massive punch (both intellectually and […]
The Me You Can’t See is an ambitious and emotional documentary series from Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and Oprah Winfrey. Ambitious because it aims to tackle the stigma around seeking help for mental health struggles by asking a range of individuals – from their fellow celebrities and elite athletes to average folks – […]
It’s hard to think of an actor who has notched more quality TV work over the last decade than Jean Smart. From her work as a crime syndicate’s matriarch on season two of Fargo (the best season of the series), her work as the therapist to a band of mutants in season one of Legion […]
In the continuing streaming battle, Amazon has fallen behind not only its early rival Netflix, but also recent additions like AppleTV+ in the push for buzzy shows. I rarely hear people talking about the great new show on Amazon – or even talking about Amazon’s TV offerings at all – which is a bit of […]
A month ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed of recommending folks add a Peacock subscription to their already lengthy list of streaming options.

If you’re looking for a pretty good comedy to binge this weekend, look no further than Rutherford Falls, the latest Mike Schur (Parks and Recreation and The Good Place) produced series that turns on the charm while still getting laughs. Now, as with Schur’s other series (which include Brooklyn 99 as well), Rutherford Falls isn’t […]
It’s that time of year again: We’re heading back to Gilead to see just what incredible events will occur that prevents June and her fellow handmaids from escaping the clutches of Gilead (and the series from forcing the narrative forward). Ok, that might sound a bit harsh – and there is, in fact, some forward […]
In the end, the grand message of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was a simple one – With great power comes great responsibility. Some of our characters learned it for themselves, some failed to learn it and paid the ultimate price, and some had to be taught it by our new Captain America in […]
Here’s a lesson for all future MCU TV series: If a two-minute appearance by a well-known guest star can change the face of your show, elevating the energy level and making your audience perk up and take notice, more so than any action scene or character beat before or after, there’s a foundational issue with […]
