I just . . . don’t understand what the writers are trying to do with these final three episodes. I really don’t. The revelation of who killed Lottie – while earned in the sense that it was hinted at in previous episodes with the evidence Walter and Misty found – makes little to no sense […]
There is a lot going on in Your Friends and Neighbors, the new Jon Hamm-fronted drama from AppleTV+. A lot. There are a lot of characters (played by a great set of actors who are more than capable of doing what they’re asked to do – or at least, almost all of them are). And […]
I can’t recall a series that has managed to kill off not one but two of my favorite characters in a single season (not even Game of Thrones, but that was largely because the series eventually became allergic to actually offing key characters – something that, for all its faults, one cannot accuse Yellowjackets of […]
The first part of this review focused on episodes 1-35, noting the connection to other series, and plot of those episodes, including abolition of the sorority, Fukiko’s abuse of Rei, growing romantic love between Nanako and Rei, and the heart-wrenching (and accidental) death of Rei. As a warning, this review discusses sensitive topics such as […]
There are two main ways a series can introduce a “twist” and make it land within the confines of the show’s universe.

Hell, the main […]

However, due to watching other series, and other commitments, I never got to it. This year I decided to change that and watch this classic slice-of-life drama anime. Dear Brother, which is […]
RIP Edwin, we hardly knew you. But boy, are things about to take a turn out in the wilderness. And in the present, well, things aren’t looking so hot for Van at the moment (what are the odds that Other Tai honors that DNR Van signed back in the beginning of the season – yeah, […]
Well, we know what the goats are for – or, at least, were for, as it’s looking like there’s a revolution hitting Lumon and Mammalians Nurturable isn’t going to be providing anymore lambs for the slaughter. As for whether or not all of these Innies will end up slaughtered themselves, well, we’ll have to wait […]
If you’re in the mood for a devastating family drama that doesn’t offer answers but does offer some exceptional writing, performances, and directing, Adolescence, the new four-episode British miniseries on Netflix is for you. A shattering look at how a young boy, radicalized by the misogynistic dreck that exists on the internet, bullied by those […]
