This review will contain spoilers for all three seasons of Netflix’s series Squid Game (all of which are currently streaming). If you haven’t watched the entire series, finish it up and then come on back to this review. You have been warned. Squid Game was never going to have a happy ending. This wasn’t going […]

The Bear Season Four Review
This review contains spoilers for the entirety of season four of the Hulu series The Bear. If you haven’t finished watching the season, read on at your own risk. You have been warned. I wasn’t the biggest fan of The Bear’s third season. Aside from my continued belief that the series is a drama with […]
Smoke Review
Smoke, the new thriller from AppleTV+ is a strange series. Not in its subject matter, which is pretty straight forward and easy to follow. But in its writing, its characters, and in several of its leading performances, it was often hard to figure out if the show was trying to be a serious thriller or […]
It’s time for… some piracy!: Examining fictional pirates in animation
Earlier this month, there was news that a new spinoff sequel of Steven Universe was in production, entitled Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars. Animation Magazine described protagonist Lars Barriga as an “eternal teenager and space outlaw.” It said that the series will follow him “and his pirate crew” as they “smuggle contraband, evade the authorities, and […]
Outrageous Review
I have to confess that, prior to watching Outrageous, the new period drama on BritBox, I had never heard of the Milford sisters. I was familiar with the basics of Britain during the time frame of the series (set mostly in the 1930s in the lead up to World War II) – including how things […]
Revival Review
Revival, the new Syfy supernatural horror series might feel a tad familiar. For one, it’s based on the comic series of the same name. But it also shares a bit of DNA with some past supernatural shows in its key foundational plot points. Even with all that, the series takes a bit of time to […]
Stick – Season One Review
If you’ve been lamenting that AppleTV+ doesn’t currently have a new comedy centered around a middle aged straight white man who refuses to deal with a personal trauma and instead tries to go out of his way to help those around him at the expense of his own mental health that stars a beloved (or […]
Doctor Who – The Reality War Review
If I thought last week’s penultimate episode of Doctor Who was overstuffed, well, things certainly got even more packed full of plot in this week’s season (and potentially series) finale. From dispatching the Rani (one of whom made it out alive and is still gallivanting around the galaxy to trouble The Doctor at some future […]
Hacks – Heaven Review
The interesting thing about Hacks (or, at this stage of the game, perhaps it’s both a feature and a bug of the series structure) is that each season tells an arc and ends with a reset. Usually, that reset sees Ava and Deborah at odds for some reason – whether it is Deb trying to […]
Doctor Who – Wish World Review
I’ll be the first to admit that my Doctor Who knowledge isn’t nearly as vast as many fans, largely because I’ve only watched a couple of series of the show overall – and all of them have been during the modern era of the series. So, the importance of the Rani’s return has pretty much […]
