Say what you will about this season of Loki (and I certainly have over my previous reviews), but you cannot say that Tom Hiddleston hasn’t left it all on the pitch this season with his portrayal of the titular character. Sure, the story has been way too centered on the mechanics of time travel rather […]

Invincible Season Two (Part One) Review
The first season of Invincible, Prime Video’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman (who also created the animated series), Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley’s comic series of the same name, was a surprising success for the streaming service. Telling the tale of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), a high school senior with a superhero for a dad (that […]

Loki – Heart of the TVA Review
Well, that was unexpected. Although, after an episode that highlighted the various ouroboros instances that have occurred throughout the series thus far (OB creating the TVA manual from Victor’s notes while Victor created his notes from the TVA manual and Loki finding his past self to prune him so that his current self could continue […]

Loki – 1893 Review
Well, that was a bit of a mixed bag of an episode. On the one hand, we finally got a better idea of just what Miss Minutes has been up to (and, as many guessed, she was indeed up to no good), along with how Ravonna Renslayer fits into the story after a couple episodes […]
Upload Season Three Review
I came to Upload a bit slowly. I was lukewarm on its first season, enjoyed the second season, and now, with the series’ third season, I can officially call myself a fan of this quirky – and now pretty high-concept – Prime Video comedy series. When we last left our heroes, Nathan had been downloaded […]

The Fall of the House of Usher Review
The Mike Flanagan suite of Netflix miniseries have been a bit of a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House (although not as much as many did). I was a huge fan of The Haunting of Bly Manor (save for the atrocious penultimate episode). I didn’t love Midnight Mass. And I […]
