Only Murders in the Building Season Three Review
Boy, Charles-Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora are not three people you want to see entering your life in any way, shape, or form. If they do, the chances that you will find yourself either the victim of a gruesome murder or a prime suspect becomes shockingly high. Because once again, in the third […]

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Subspace Rhapsody Review
It was all Patti LuPone’s fault. After all, it was the use of a recording of her singing “Anything Goes,” the titular song of the classic Broadway musical, that started this whole singing ships conundrum in “Subspace Rhapsody” – a lovely twist that made this Broadway nerd chuckle. But would the episode turn out to […]
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart Review
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, a seven-part miniseries adaptation of the novel of the same name, is a fascinating, if too slow developing, television series – gorgeous to look at, with some interesting performances, and a rather perfunctory plot. The series follows Alice Hart from her youth – as a nine-year-old dealing with the […]
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Under the Cloak of War Review
When I wrote about M’Benga’s episode arc in my review of the Strange New Worlds season premiere, I commented that I suspected PTSD and its impact might serve as a through-line for this season of the series. Of course, I wasn’t expecting the writers to dip back into that particular well with M’Benga once again […]
Good Omens Season Two Review
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 […]
