After the climax of the trial of the seven, this first season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (or, perhaps A Knight of the Nine Kingdoms, if we’re to go by Egg’s accounting of the official realms of Westeros – although I suspect Dorne and the Iron Islands might have a quibble with […]
When I reviewed season one of Paradise last year, I wasn’t allowed to mention that the series takes place in the aftermath of a massive volcanic eruption and nuclear bombardment with our central characters living in an underground bunker that pretty perfectly mimics life back out in the real world in the before times. Not […]
Run Away is the 11th adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel by Netflix. This adaptation transfers the story of a man looking for missing drug addicted daughter from New York to England. Simon Greene (James Nesbitt) is a successful finance advisor whose oldest daughter, Paige (Ellie de Lange), has been missing ever since she got hooked on […]
There’s been an interesting trend in television over the last couple of years where the penultimate episode of a season is an extended flashback. Usually that episode also serves as a means to convey key information about the present-day story to the audience – think the penultimate episode of Paradise’s first season. And sometimes, as […]
It took more than half of the season to finally hear the Game of Thrones theme in all its glory, but boy was that the perfect moment to bring it out. After three episodes that were much lighter in subject, the fourth installment of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms took things to a much […]

I know that there are folks out there who managed to stay spoiler-free as to just who this tiny squire might turn out to be (even though the series was pretty heavy-handed, especially in […]
I have to say, when I was watching Iron Man 3 in the theater, I never imagined it would still be relevant within the MCU all these years later. And I imagine most Marvel fans felt the same – seeing as that film was polarizing at the time and certainly hasn’t aged much better. But […]
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 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 […]
