Let’s get this out of the way up top. The second season of Good Omens is, at its heart, simply an excuse for David Tennant and Michael Sheen to pal around, riff off one another, and be generally delightful with their wonderful chemistry for another season of television. After all, the first season of the […]

Secret Invasion – Home Review
So, if the radiation at the Skrull compound was so intense that Gravik expected Fury to be a shaking mess even with his iodide pills, just how were all those captured humans able to survive hooked up to the machines for that long? Does pumping them full of iodide keep them alive? Or would there […]
Invincible Presents Atom Eve Review
If it’s been a minute since you thought about Invincible, the excellent Prime Video animated series (adapted from the comic series of the same name), you’re likely not alone. The series premiered all the way back in March of 2021 – practically a lifetime ago in the world of television – and then nary a […]

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Lost in Translation Review
It’s rare that an episode of television can both make me laugh, freak me out with some really great horror elements, and make me tear up – all within the confines of an hour. But that’s precisely what the great “Lost in Translation” managed to do, all while also giving us a great Uhura-centric episode […]
Secret Invasion – Harvest Review
So help me if Sonya Falsworth turns out the be a Skrull at the last minute in next week’s Secret Invasion finale (although I certainly wouldn’t be shocked with the way the series has kept her character and her motivations shrouded in some secrecy). But, at this stage of the game, with one episode remaining […]
Minx Season Two Review
When HBO Max was purged late last year, one of the causalities was the second season of Minx, the delightful comedy about the creation of a Playgirl-esque magazine in the 1970s. Mere weeks away from wrapping filming their second season, the series was cancelled, although the network told the cast and crew they would be […]
