A gorgeous couple is on a romantic getaway in France. Often separated by work – he works with refugee resettlement and she is an archeologist – they’ve managed to meet up in Paris and are about to embark on a trip to the South of France (Arles, to be exact). Only something goes terribly wrong. […]

Shrinking Season Three Review
Shrinking is the perfect example of what happens when a good show gets the time to work out the kinks early, establish characters, relationships, and build a world, and then gets the chance to run with it all. Is Shrinking perfect in its third season? No, it’s not – which is almost fitting for a […]
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – Hard Salt Beef Review
The interesting thing about a show like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is that it isn’t concerned with an ever-longer list of characters. We have our two central characters – Dunk and Egg – and then the rest of the folks at the tourney. Now, some of those folk – including the ones we […]
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – A Hedge Knight Review
The latest Game of Thrones spin-off has made its way to HBO. And it’s something quite different than fans of the bloody, violent, and overstuffed series might expect. It’s rare that I ended an episode of Thrones or House of the Dragon thinking, “Oh, what a lovely episode!” But watching the pilot of A Knight […]
Heated Rivalry Review
Note: This review contains spoilers for season one of Heated Rivalry. I have to state up front that I am decidedly not the target audience for Heated Rivalry. While I love to support LGBTQ+ representation on television (as a member of the lesbian section of that acronym), a gay hockey romance is not something I […]
Hijack Season Two Review
The first season of Hijack, the AppleTV thriller starring Idris Elba as a corporate negotiator stuck on a hijacked plane – where his family on the ground is also placed in danger to help ensure his compliance with the hijackers – wasn’t anything particularly special. Certainly not special enough to warrant a second season – […]
Corriedale Review
Corriedale is already considered one of the biggest soap events of 2026, which is remarkable considering the year has only just started. The crossover sees ITV’s big soaps come together for the first time. A massive car accident happens on a stretch of road in the Yorkshire Dales. This event happens due to loads of […]
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Review
Despite what you might have heard or deduced from that truly unfortunate poster Paramount released late last year, I’m here to tell you that Starfleet Academy is not a bad show. It’s also not a good show. It’s actually a very frustrating show with some serious tonal issues, particularly in early episodes. But when it’s […]
A year of “Yuridemption”?: LGBTQ+ Representation in Animation in 2025 [Part 3]
In the last part of this series, I focused on series such as #1 Happy Family USA, Oh My God… Yes!, Maebashi Witches, Lazarus, Once Upon a Witch’s Death, There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless…, and A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof, and films like Princess Principal Crown Handler Chapter 4. There […]
A year of “Yuridemption”?: LGBTQ+ Representation in Animation in 2025 [Part 2]
In my last part of this series, I talked about LGBTQ+ representation in animation in 2025, from January to mid-April. This post will cover from mid-April to mid-September, focusing on series such as #1 Happy Family USA, Oh My God… Yes!, Maebashi Witches, Lazarus, Once Upon a Witch’s Death, You and Idol Pretty Cure, and A […]
