Hollyoaks is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Channel 4 is planning to make this a big occasion, similar to the 20th and 25th anniversaries. Five years ago, I published an article highlighting ten of the most successful actors from the soap. For the 30th anniversary, I will look at ten more actors who have done well […]
On September 19th, Knights of Guinevere, an animated mature sci-fi psychological thriller, with body horror and macabre qualities, premiered. It dropped on the YouTube channel of Glitch Productions, an indie animation powerhouse. The pilot was co-created by Dana Terrace, John Bailey Owen, and Zach Marcus. All three worked on The Owl House. Terrace was the creator. […]
It’s almost criminal just how good Slow Horses, the AppleTV+ spy series based on Mick Herron’s novels, is. Seriously. And, after a pretty good but not great season four – which saw us traveling back into River Cartwright’s (Jack Lowden, given less than usual to do this season) family history to stop a terrorist attack […]
Your enjoyment of season two of Gen V, the college-set spin-off of Prime Video’s super successful superhero drama The Boys, will be proportional to just how much you’re still invested in this world. After four seasons of The Boys, with the fifth and final season on the way, I’ve reached the supersaturation point with this […]
I’ve watched many indie animations this year. One of my favorites is MechWest, which is streaming on YouTube. This indie action-adventure series is by David “Dave” Gallagher, and co-written by Clifford James Taylor and Noah Gallagher. It begins with a robot/mech, witnessing the death of its two compatriots. Soon, a spunky teenage girl named Pearl West (voiced […]
We’ve known since day one of Strange New Worlds that the story of Captain Christopher Pike was a tragedy. So, much of what he does within his personal life is shaped by that knowledge – from how he chooses to mentor his crew to his relationship with Marie. And while very few people know about […]
The first two episodes of Alien: Earth did a great job setting up the premise of the show. Episodes three and four focus on philosophical musings as much as corporations studying alien lifeforms. The Lost Boys have been sent to a Weyland-Yutani ship that has crashed in the middle of New Siam. They are ordered […]
I was not a fan of season four of Only Murders in the Building, feeling that it spent so much time stuffing the series with guest stars that it pulled the focus away from not only our central three investigators (and Howard – who remains the only other series regular in the show) but also […]
In mid-August, queer media critic Kira Deshler wrote on her newsletter, Paging Dr. Lesbian, about how many queer fans of Wednesday believe that titular character Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega) loves her best friend, Enid Sinclair (played by Emma Myers). Undoubtedly, fans of this popular ship, known as Wenclair, will be disappointed by the […]
As someone who has been harping on my desire for an Ortegas standalone episode – one that addresses the lingering trauma from her encounter with the Gorn in the season premiere – you’d think I’d be over the moon about this episode. And yes, I did enjoy it for both what it was attempting to […]
