I wanted to like The Wilds, I really did. And, to be honest, there are definitely some things to like about the new Amazon drama. Unfortunately, despite trying to sell itself as something new and interesting, the series really just hits a lot of the same notes we’ve heard before with a more diverse, female […]

As the title suggests his latest show follows a woman called Emily in Paris. Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) is a Chicago based social media manager who gets an unexpected job […]
“The Jedi” was an exceptional 45 minutes of television, largely because writer and director David Filoni leaned into The Mandalorian’s biggest strength: Making sure to pair Mando up with characters strong enough to carry the narrative load of the episode. And boy was Ahsoka Tano the perfect character to bring out the latent emotional elements […]
