Midnight Mass, Mike Flanagan’s latest Netflix miniseries, has a number of the quirks that were present in his previous outings (that would be The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, for those not wholly familiar with his recent oeuvre). Now, as was the case with the other series, some of them […]
Vigil has reached its conclusion after six episodes with a sadly underwhelming finale. DCI Silva has discovered who the Russian mole on HMS Vigil is. Unfortunately, he got to her first and locked her in a torpedo tube. The situation for HMS Vigil is dire with it flooding with water and Russian vessels in the area. On land, DS Longacre […]
In a global crisis called “The Emergency,” who are you going to call? No, not the Ghostbusters, but instead a group of misfit orphans who form a team that may just be intuitive enough to stop a worldwide panic. That’s the basic premise of the TV adaptation of “The Mysterious Benedict Society,” (Season 1) which […]
You’d be hard pressed to find a show more open and frank about sexuality than Netflix’s excellent high school drama Sex Education. And its third season offered up more of the same: serious conversations about teenage sexuality (where the teenagers are all portrayed by twentysomethings, but the intent stands), family, friendship, love, and whether or […]
In a post-Game of Thrones world, every major network and streaming site has made a play for their own piece of beloved IP. HBO is continuing its Thrones universe with a prequel series.

“It’s a need to know world… they like their secrets,” the police say about the CIA as an investigation unfolds in the new Dan Brown thriller The Lost Symbol on the Peacock Network. But the only secret worth pondering so far is how and why they couldn’t make this story more compelling. The premise is […]
I’ll admit up front that I wasn’t a huge fan of season one of The Morning Show. While I enjoyed elements of the series – particularly the work of Steve Carrell as Mitch Kessler, who managed to make you not immediately turn against his odious character, even as it became clear that he was every […]
The fourth episode of Vigil brings in a new suspect and theory behind the death of Craig Burke and who’s behind the issues HMS Vigil has been suffering. DS Longacre’s investigation takes her to look at an anti-Trident protest in Glasgow. It leads her to a suspect she believes to be an MI5 agent that had followed […]
The third episode of Vigil has a lot going on as it adds more suspects and conspiracies to the mystery involving HMS Vigil. DCI Silva believes that Craig Burke may have been poisoned after finding a strange substance on Burke’s hoodie and in his mouth. She also makes a lot of enemies since she has […]
