When I was a child, Saturday morning wasn’t complete without watching that week’s episode of X-Men. As someone who didn’t really follow comics growing up (my dad was a big DC fan, but I never got much into that lore – and back then, Marvel wasn’t anything like it is today). But I loved the […]
When you look at the cast list for AppleTV+’s new comedy series Palm Royale, you can’t help but be impressed. Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, Burce Dern. And that’s only the tip of the cast iceberg. You have two Oscar winners, a multiple-Oscar nominee, multiple Emmy winners (in fact, two […]
Your enjoyment of Manhunt, the new historical miniseries from AppleTV+, will likely hinge on how much you remember from your American History classes. If you can’t quite recall just who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln (that would be John Wilkes Booth, played here – with a flat American accent – by Anthony Boyle), who his Vice […]
If you’re still mourning the loss of HBO’s Our Flag Means Death, the new AppleTV+ comedy series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin might go a little ways toward filling that void in your life. Much like Our Flag Means Death, the series takes a humorous look at the life of a historical figure […]
Last year I declared that The Traitors, the new reality competition series from Peacock, was one of the best shows folks weren’t watching. Well, what a difference a year makes! It seems like I can’t go a day without having an in-depth discussion about the ins and outs of the second season of the US […]
In this era of way too much television, one of the big questions I routinely get asked by folks looking for a new binge is if the series “sticks the landing.” Want to invest the time and energy into tackling The Americans? Know that it absolutely sticks the landing. Succession? Better Call Saul? Barry? Yes, […]
Time is a flat circle, indeed, folks. And the finale of True Detective: Night Country was the perfect combination of the elements that made the series work incredibly well, and those pieces that never gelled fully and caused it to wobble throughout its six-episode run. But, while there will certainly be a continued debate among […]
When you spend the better part of a series’ premiere episode trying to figure out just how big of an age gap exists between the actor playing the older brother of another character and his sister (for reference, the real-life age gap between the sibling was 12 year – in the series, it’s a whopping […]
Well shit. That was certainly an effective way to end the penultimate episode of True Detective: Night Country. Do I totally buy that Danvers was able to finally get out of her own way to decide to accept that this case is crucially important to solve – and that the mine is dangerous and deadly […]
When a series is ostensibly set in the real world – as in a world not dominated by science fiction or fantasy trappings – but still pulls from the realm of the supernatural in its storytelling, there’s a fine line that needs to be walked to ensure that the story remains grounded in reality while […]
