When I first heard that The Acolyte was coming to Disney+ as the latest Star Wars television series, I wasn’t all that excited about it. After all, the Star Wars live action television series have been quite the mixed bag, and the track record of late hasn’t been all that great (with Andor being the […]
On paper, Hacks seems like a deceptively simple comedy. Pair an older, well-known and battle-tested actor (that would be the great Jean Smart) with a young, relatively unknown actor (that would Hannah Einbinder, who, much like her character, has only grown in strength as the series has played out) and base the show’s comedy on […]
“What would happen if Doctor Who tried its hand at a Black Mirror episode,” seems like it could have easily been the pitch for “Dot and Bubble,” this week’s Who installment that certainly seemed to pull from the Black Mirror universe in its basic structure – including that gut-punch of a final sequence. And while […]
One of the hallmarks of a great episode of TV is that it can take you through a gamut of emotions throughout its journey to the end. And that’s precisely what “73 Yards” did, as we walked along with Ruby as she not only attempted to solve the question of just who the woman following […]
Well, that was quite the episode of Doctor Who. We got a treatise on the horrors of unchecked capitalism (timely, as always), a quick swipe toward militant religiosity (although having the military consist of various Anglican clerics of differing ranks didn’t really have enough time to gel into a statement of sorts – although, you […]
About midway through the second episode of The Big Cigar, the latest AppleTV+ series, I found myself wondering just why this particular story hadn’t been made into a movie instead of an over-long and wholly unnecessary six-episode limited series. And when I dug a little bit, I discovered that in fact, it was originally optioned […]
If my glowing review of the Doctor Who Christmas special back in December was any indication, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the official start of the latest season of Who for a couple of months now. I’ve been a fan of Ncuti Gatwa’s for a bit now, and his take on the Fifteenth Doctor has, so […]
Dark Matter, the new AppleTV+ series adapted from Blake Crouch’s novel of the same name (largely by the author, who holds writing or joint writing credits on most of the season’s episodes), is a story about the multiverse – something I wanted to get out there at the top of this review, because I know […]
The one positive thing about coming a bit late to a series – in this case, a week after it was released – is that you get to watch how the discourse surrounding the series starts to shape up. First, there’s usually the breathless questions around your social circle: “Have you watched it? What did […]
Now that I have completed my watch of the seven English language seasons of The Traitors currently available to us in the US (all seasons discussed below are streaming on Peacock – well worth the money to snag the streaming service, for reasons I’ve outlined in previous reviews), I come to you with a definitive […]
