Following an uneven third season (albeit one that saw the series get some long-overdue Emmy recognition), Slow Horses is back for a fourth season. And I’m happy to report that this one is much less bloody and violent and, on the whole, a much stronger story (even if some of the central mystery feels a […]

The Rings of Power – Episodes 1-3 Review
Listen, I know it will ultimately result in death and destruction throughout Middle Earth, but you really can see how tempting Sauron’s pitch to Celebrimbor was, right? Especially if one doesn’t know one is currently part of an epic saga entitled The Lord of the Rings where your actions spark an epic conflict. All I’m […]
The Rings of Power Season Two Review
When The Rings of Power premiered back in 2022 (yes, it’s been a full two years since we saw that initial run of episodes), it was greeted with mixed reviews (and a host of review bombing from a particular subset of the internet who has since moved onto MCU properties to express their ire with […]
Only Murders in the Building Season Four Review
When news broke that season four of Only Murders in the Building was going Hollywood – in that the characters would be spending some time in LA while a film version of season one of their podcast was produced, I was worried about what that meant for the series as a whole. After all, as […]
Pachinko Season Two Review
After a two-year hiatus, Pachinko, easily the best series currently airing on AppleTV+, has returned for its second season. And what a season it is. Everything that you loved about the gorgeous and emotionally challenging first season is back, only this time our knowledge of the characters and their histories – both personally and with […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Interview with the Vampire
So, I’m a bit late to the party when it comes to AMC+’s excellent adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire. But boy am I glad I hopped on board this particular train, because let me tell you – you are really missing out if you’re not watching this exceptional series. Is it campy? […]
House of the Dragon – The Queen Who Ever Was Review
Tell me you blew your budget before getting to your season finale without telling me you blew your budget. Woof. After a season of managing to right the ship and get House of the Dragon onto a pretty darn solid storytelling path, we were gifted a season finale that – for the most part – […]
Batman: Caped Crusader Review
When it comes to DC superheroes, I’ll admit to not being super up to date on who’s who and what’s what (much to the dismay of my father, who is a massive DC fan – sorry Dad). But if there’s one DC hero I’ve followed pretty closely into his various incarnations on TV and film […]
House of the Dragon – The Red Sowing Review
On this week’s installment of How to Claim Your Dragon . . . err, I mean House of the Dragon, we were granted the long-awaited Dragonseed claiming competition, which saw two new dragon riders emerge from a fiery scene that also saw the demise of a host of Targaryen bastards. We were also treated to […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Fantasmas
When I first heard about Fantasmas, the new super queer surrealist HBO comedy series from Julio Torres, I wasn’t quite sure what to think about it. I was someone who had missed the boat on Torres’ previous HBO series, Los Espookys, so I wasn’t sure if this series would be for me. But boy, was […]
