If you love Bob’s Burgers but wish the series included more musical numbers (and boy, has that show had some great musical numbers), have I got a series for you! Central Park, the first major animation release from Apple TV+, comes from the minds of Burgers writers Loren Bouchard and Nora Smith, adding Josh Gad […]
Well gang, we’ve done it. We’ve made it through the penultimate episode of season three of Killing Eve, and I sure hope you understand all of what the show is trying to show us better than I do at this point. Watching this episode I had multiple moments where I was genuinely confused at how […]
Confession: I meant to write this article last year, right after the premiere of Dead to Me in 2019. But life in the Time Before was hectic and it never got written. However, now with seemingly unlimited time on our hands, the time has come to sing the praises of my two favorite trashy Netflix […]
We finally got an episode that contained a pretty even balance of the show’s central four characters. It only took nearly the entire season to get us to this point; a season that had far too many rambling narrative tangents that pulled focus away from the season’s central arc, thereby making it a muddled mess […]
If you haven’t seen Bong Joon Ho’s 2013 post-apocalyptic thriller Snowpiercer (which starred Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton and was the Oscar-winning director’s first – and to this point, only – mostly English language film)*, I’d recommend you sit down and watch it immediately. It’s really great. Then I would recommend that you skip this […]
I suspect the major tagline for The Great, the (dare I say) great new limited series from Hulu about the rise of Russia’s Catherine the Great, will be some variation of “If you loved The Favourite, you’ll love The Great!” And, really, that statement isn’t wrong. But it sells The Great short. While there is […]
I don’t understand the purpose of “Are You From Pinner?”, both as an episode of Killing Eve and as an episode of the series that falls so late in the show’s third season. I think I understand what showrunner Suzanne Heathcote wanted from this episode (to explore a bit more about who Villanelle was and […]
Poor Nico. Yet another casualty of the continue push and pull between Eve and Villanelle, albeit one that didn’t stem from either of their direct actions – which is what makes this particular twist a touch more interesting than those that have become before. Sure, we all knew Nico was unlikely to make it out […]
Watching Amazon’s newest dark comedy series Upload might give you a sense of deja-vu. A world where you can upload your consciousness upon death to a mainframe that will allow you to “live” again? Yeah, we’ve seen that done before (and, frankly, done better) on Black Mirror, namely the exquisite “San Junipero” episode. A look into […]
The problem with all cat and mouse stories is that once the two seemingly incompatible foes have met, the story loses that key element of tension that pulled it along. Now, with Killing Eve, we’re leagues past that initial meeting, but the series is still trying to chase that same high as we, the audience, […]
