With the 2010s coming to a close, it’s my duty as a TV critic to create a Top 10 List of the best TV shows of the decade. Seriously. Check all the other entertainment sites. We’re all doing it. (And, if I’m honest, we’re all putting a lot of the same shows on our lists […]

His Dark Materials – The Lost Boy Review (A Newbie’s Perspective)
So just when I start to think I’ve got a grasp on the story, it goes off and introduces a new character that is apparently crucial to the story and the mirror to Lyra (who is clearly the special child of the magical realm). I don’t know if the books introduce Will to the story […]
Watchmen – An Almost Religious Awe Review
I have to admit, so much happened in “An Almost Religious Awe” that I don’t really know where to jump into this review. I suppose the best jumping-off point would be with the continuing deepening of what we know about our protagonist, Angela Abar – especially since she seems to be the link to the […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter 4: Sanctuary Review
Ok, I think it’s safe to say that the blueprint for The Mandalorian is to create interesting episodic adventures (wherein we spend time with characters far more interesting that Mando) as we slowly move toward some sort of conclusion regarding the galactic search for Baby Yoda. While I tend to prefer my television with an […]
His Dark Materials – Armour Review (A Newbie’s Perspective)
Guys. Guys! There are polar bears with armor! And they are so cute! (Ok, they do also exude the regal elements the show clearly wants them to, but they are also talking polar bears wearing bear-sized armor, which means they are also adorable.) But, most importantly, this was an good hour of television from start […]
Evil – Two Fathers Review
Now that I’m convinced it’s keeping its quality (and since it has already been renewed for a second season next year), the CBS series Evil has earned an episode-by-episode review, so I’ll be writing episodic summary-reviews beginning this week… Can the previously-found map of evil (The Poveglia Codex) with more than 60 sigils help lead […]
Watchmen – This Extraordinary Being Review
The past is something we tend to cling to like a security blanket. When we discuss something awful, we hold it up as a clear mark, a blemish, a black spot on the soul of humanity – something that we won’t do ever again. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter Three: The Sin Review
Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: Baby Yoda (which I know is not the Child’s name, but since the internet has decided to use that name I’m going to go with it until we get something else) is ridiculously cute. Hell, I’d watch an entire series that was just it […]
His Dark Materials – The Spies (A Newbie’s Perspective)
Remember how excited I was about learning characters in His Dark Materials can travel between world’s last week? Well, that’s just how disappointed I was with this week’s tired twist – that Coulter and Asriel had an affair, complete with an angry husband trying to kill Lyra and both of them. What a dumb, predictable, and, […]
Watchmen – Little Fear of Lightning Review
Remember a few weeks back, when Laurie Blake told Angela Abar that people put on masks in response to some sort of trauma – usually from their childhood or youth? Well, while we may still be waiting to discover why Angela is drawn to her particular masked persona, we definitely understand just what made Wade […]
