My one major takeaway upon finishing my screeners for Paradise was “Boy is Sterling K. Brown sensational at what he does.” And Brown is asked to do an awful lot in the series, leading a cast of heavy hitters through a thriller that is often uneven from a writing perspective and where we’re doled out […]
Well, this week we got to see just what our main four’s Outies were up to in the time between their Innies’ jail breaks until they reunited back on the Severed Floor at Lumon. Or, rather, we got to see a lot of what Mark and Helena were up to, more of Dylan’s Outie’s life […]
If you don’t know who Emperor Philipa Georgiou is and you never watched a minute of the pre-32nd century episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, then I can pretty confidently say that Section 31 is not the film for you. While the film does offer a pretty quick rehash on Georgiou’s history (as well as some […]
There are a number of mental leaps one needs to make whilst watching Prime Target, the new thriller from AppleTV+, but the chief one is that a young maths graduate student at Cambridge would not only be able to deduce the proper theorem that could, ostensibly, be used as a key to unlock all digital […]
And just like that – okay, after a three year wait – Severance is back! Thank Kier. And what a delightful way to throw us back into the world of Lumon, Innies, Outies (of whom we saw next to nothing this week), and Macrodata Refinement. And, I would be remiss not to mention, some absolutely […]
Now that was the kind of episode I’ve been waiting for over this last uneven string of storytelling. Sure, it was the finale so the series was able to really pull out all the stops (and definitely blew its CGI budget), but this was a series (season?) finale that managed to pull together the remaining […]
As noted in part one, back in 2023, I listed my top (Western) animated series and top anime for the year. Those listed here are primarily those which are new, and aired in 2024, such as The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies, Whisper Me a Love Song, Cherry Magic!, The […]
In 2023, I listed my top ten (Western) animated series and top twenty anime. Most series are new, but some are holdovers from 2023, like Oshi No Ko. The other series noted in this post, are: My Deer Friend Nokotan!, Pon No Michi, Acro Trip, Magilumiere Co. Ltd., Narenare: Cheer for You!, Mayonaka Punch!, Wonderful […]
If I could have one wish in this new year, it would be that all television series start treating their episodes like actual episodes of a TV series and not just a single act break in a longer film. Because man was I annoyed at the close of this week’s episode – the penultimate episode […]
I won’t bury the lede for you: the long-awaited second season of Severance is great. I easily found myself swept back up into the world of Lumon, rewatching several of my screeners just to be sure that I caught everything I needed to catch to piece together the various arcs unspooling this time around (a […]
