Ok, so Netflix’s newest comedy series Sex Education might not be a hidden gem, but it doesn’t seem to have captured the zeitgeist like House of Cards or Orange is the New Black did upon their arrival on the site, so I’m going to assume that the series hasn’t reached the masses at Bird Box-level […]
I was raised on Star Trek. I’ve watched every series (save Enterprise) from beginning to end (yup, even Voyager). While I wouldn’t call myself a Trekkie, I do think I know enough about Trek to be able to decide if a series is worthy of the moniker and the history that has come before it. […]
Every year I sit down to write my list of the Top 10 TV Shows of the year, and every year I’m faced with a list that goes well beyond the ten I’ve limited myself to. Sometimes, I cheat a bit and include Honorable Mentions. Or I contemplate opening the list to additional shows, combining […]
A few weeks ago, a question was posed to TV critics on Twitter: What are the Top 10 best streaming shows, not counting international shows that air in the US on streaming sites? A smattering of critics discussed what they would pick, and the choices included several common shows, but, for the most part, were […]
As someone who grew up watching the TGIF staple Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I will admit I was pretty intrigued when I heard everyone’s favorite teenage half witch-half mortal would be returning to television, albeit in a much darker capacity than the version from my childhood. I was even more interested in the project when […]
House of Cards will always have a special place in the annals of TV history as the first original series trotted out by streaming giant Netflix.

I’m not a big horror fan. Well, I guess that’s not quite true. I’m not a big fan of what constitutes horror most of the time today. I don’t like “torture porn” and I want my entertainment to have interesting complex characters and an equally as compelling story. Something like Saw doesn’t really interest me, […]
While Netflix continues to bombard subscribers with insurmountable mountains of content (seriously, I spend my time writing about TV and even I can’t keep up with the amount of content Netflix is churning out), the streaming service still manages to provide far more misses than hits. Which is why it’s a bit surprising to me […]
On paper, it doesn’t sound like it should work: A streaming cartoon series that follows a washed-up sitcom star as he falls deeper into depression and substance abuse, alienating those around him and struggling with his past demons and present problems. Oh, and the lead is an anthropomorphized horse . . . and the other […]
It’s that time of year again: the leaves are changing color, the slate of Fall network television shows are mere days from premiering, and the Emmy Awards are this Sunday on NBC. While I say this every year, awards don’t mean a show is necessarily good. But, when we look back on yesteryear, the list […]
