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 […]
Lovecraft Country‘s third installment, “Holy Ghost,” was a curious change in narrative structure. For its first two episodes, it seemed as though the series would be a tightly serialized drama. But this week, the story jumped forward several weeks from the tragic events of Ardham and gave us a haunted house story that, on first […]
Well, that was a hell of a lot of plot to churn through in a single hour of television. And to remove two of the show’s most recognizable actors from the gameboard this early in the run of a series (that would be Courtney B. Vance – who certainly could still come back from the […]
As someone who has never read anything by HP Lovecraft or Matt Rush’s “Lovecraft Country” novel, I really didn’t know what to expect when I tuned in for the first episode of Lovecraft Country on HBO this weekend. Although, with a title like “Sundown,” I was perhaps a bit more prepared than folks who haven’t […]
