What a fitting end to a disappointing series. In fact, it was such a disappointing ending that I genuinely didn’t realize it was the end of the episode until the credits began rolling – that’s how anticlimactic and messy the episode was. We were robbed of the true showdown between Moon Knight and Harrow/Ammit that […]
Kieran Freemantle and Jean Henegan discuss the recent troubles Netflix has experienced and ask what the future holds for the streaming giant.
If you’ve noticed an influx of returning favorite television shows onto your streaming platforms in the last few weeks – with more set to be released in early May – you aren’t alone.

This was the first episode of this season of Picard that felt wholly of what fans are terming “Old Trek*” – you know, classic Next Generation or Voyager where the good guys manage to fight against seemingly insurmountable odds while battling inner demons to reach a key moral by the close of the episode.

Which is all well and good, if you were looking for an MCU series […]
Kieran Freemantle and Jean Henegan discuss the issue of LGBT representation in film and TV
After a disappointing opening episode to Season Three, Derry Girls returns to form with an episode about a Children in Need, ‘90s pop, and a mid-life crisis. Children in Need fever has struck the school and the students and faculty are looking for ways to fundraise. Father Peter (Art Campion) sets up a Stars in Their Eyes style singing competition and the winner […]
This week’s episode of Picard felt, much like Jurati’s mind, fractured in its effectiveness. Some elements worked very well – Jurati Queen’s continued plot to assimilate Earth, Soong’s downward spiral, the revelation that Q is dying and doesn’t seem to know how to go gentle into the dark night – while other pieces felt half-baked […]
