Almost a year ago, Watchmen premiered on HBO with a stunning sequence that brought the horrific Tulsa Massacre of 1921 back into the collective American consciousness. This week, HBO once again took us to the tragic events of May 31 through June 1, 1921 with the Lovecraft Country episode “Rewind 1921.” And when two shows […]
Spoiler Warning: This review presumes that you have finished the entire season of The Haunting of Bly Manor (and, while it won’t get into the plot specifics, you should have seen The Haunting of Hill House as well). I will discuss specific plot points up to and including the finale. So, if you haven’t finished […]
Apologies. Life got in the way over the last couple of weeks, which meant I was unable to post weekly reviews of the last three Lovecraft Country episodes. So, while I don’t have the time (or space) to churn out three separate reviews, I figured I would do my best to speak on the central […]
Disclaimer: I have not seen the British version of Utopia, so this review will simply discuss the American version of the series. Critics were provided with seven out of eight episodes for review, so while I don’t foresee the season’s final episode changing my views much – if at all – I do feel it’s […]
If you were in Middle School during the late 90s/early 2000s, I suspect you have already heard of Hulu’s spectacular coming of age comedy Pen15 (and if not, well, watch it). The show’s first season aired on the streaming service in 2019 and was a delightful mix of the silly, the gross, and the nostalgic. […]
This Sunday, September 20th, marks the 72nd Emmy Awards (airing on ABC at 8:00PM ET/7:00PM CT). We’re also still in the throws of a global pandemic, so instead of a glitzy red carpet, television’s royalty (and the occasional film star) sitting in an auditorium pretending to be thrilled with losing a golden statue to a […]
Ew. I’ve watched a lot of television in my time and I think this episode of Lovecraft Country was far and away the grossest thing I’ve seen on TV. That being said, it was also a pretty great episode of TV (once you got past the skin shedding and the mafioso tied up and tortured […]
I love British panel shows. 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. QI. Would I Lie To You? Big Fat Quiz of the Year. I have been known to spend hours in a panel show YouTube deep dive, delighting in the humor, enjoying the quiz elements, and relaxing. You’ll notice I said that I watch […]
The approach Lovecraft Country has taken to episode structure in its short time on the air has certainly been unique. After burning through enough plot for an entire season during the show’s first two episodes, episodes three and four have each tackled a particular film genre (haunted house in episode three and an Indiana Jones-style […]
This review discusses the second season of the Amazon series The Boys. While I have avoided including any spoilers (or, rather, what I consider to be spoilers), if you would like to watch the season knowing absolutely nothing about what will happen and without any idea of where things might go, I would recommend avoiding […]
