Now that felt like the best of Loki. From the excellent character pairings (I’m really enjoying Rafael Casal’s X-5) to the not all that complex story arc within the episode (although I’m still a bit hazy on why the multiple timelines is ok when having them throws the entirety of existence into question*), “Breaking Bad” […]

Lessons in Chemistry Review
For the initial six episodes of Lessons in Chemistry’s eight-episode run, I found myself disappointed by the series. The performances – namely star Brie Larson’s turn as Elizabeth Zott, the writing (the series is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name), and the structure of the series as a whole all felt off. […]

Loki – Ouroboros Review
After two years and change away, the Norse god of mischief is back for more timeline jumping and pruning with season two of Loki.

Ahsoka – Part 8: The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord Review
Before I dive into the review, I wanted to offer some kudos to Dave Filoni for that episode title. “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord” absolutely made me chuckle. And, as I thought more about it, there were plenty of parallels to be found between this episode of Ahsoka and The Lion, the Witch, […]
Gen V Review
I’ll get this out of the way upfront: If you’re a big fan of The Boys, you’re going to enjoy Gen V. The new spin-off from Prime Video’s biggest hit takes a similar approach to the world of superheroes as its mothership series – these aren’t heroes we can look to for hope and protection […]

Ahsoka – Part Seven: Dreams and Madness Review
There are two ways to structure a penultimate episode of a serialized series.* The first has the series’s climactic moment happen, allowing the characters the chance to breathe a bit and deal with the fallout in the finale. Think the final three episodes of Breaking Bad, where the climax of the series happened in the […]
