The penultimate episode of any season (or even series) is usually the key piece of the story where the show puts all its ducks in a row in preparation for the finale, where all the plot threads will be tied off into a nice little bow and we, the audience, can walk away satisfied with […]
There’s nothing like a charming, quirky, and lovable television show. When you need a pick-me-up or a half hour spent with genuinely lovely characters, nothing beats a feel-good series. And last year, the show that really fit that bill was the exquisite Ted Lasso (which returns for its second season on AppleTV+ on July 23 […]
If last week’s installment of Loki was all about character, “The Nexus Event” was all about plot. And with only two episodes remaining in the series, having an episode dedicated to pushing the series towards its climax was much needed – and incredibly well executed. Nothing brings me greater joy as a viewer and as […]
The greatest strength of television is that it can provide us the chance to watch characters grow and change over the course of a longform story. This is particularly true with serialized stories, where week-to-week the plot builds upon itself while also allowing the same of the show’s characters. It’s why several seasons into a […]

In the realm of television (well, at least Disney+ television), the MCU is currently batting .500. While WandaVision was a definite success, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was much more uneven and left a lot to be desired.* So, now we come to Loki, a series that takes an incredibly popular (and in the […]
Lisey’s Story has one of the best television casts ever constructed: Julianne Moore, Clive Owen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joan Allen, Ron Cephas Jones, Dane Dehaan, Michael Pitt. I mean, come on, three of those actors in a show would be incredible, but all of them? It’s an embarrassment of riches! And each one is acting […]
So, you enjoyed Mare of Easttown and want to check out another show just like it? Well, you’ve come to the right place! You might not realize it, but there are several pretty good to great shows out there that can bring you all of the small-town suspense of Mare right now! Hell, some even […]
