The White Lotus, the new limited series from Mike White (Enlightened), is definitely a “your mileage may vary” kind of series. That isn’t to say that it’s not good – that there isn’t a lot to enjoy about it – or that I’m not about to write a positive review (I am), but I am […]

Rick and Morty – Amortycan Grickitti Review
Rick and Morty arguably reached a low point with the episode “Rickdependence Stray.” So, the way to go for the follow up episode was up. It’s Friday night! Rick and Jerry prepare to go on a guy’s night with a lot of demons. The demons enjoy the embarrassment and misery that Jerry causes. But Jerry is […]
Evil – E is for Elevator Review
The fear of taking an elevator ride is apparently one of the most common fears among Americans and yet there’s no official phobia attached to it. While some call it a “form of claustrophobia,” there are people who aren’t claustrophobic that still fear elevators. So I am going to call it Elevatorphobia. When I heard […]
This Way Up – Season 2, Episode 1 Review
Aisling Bea’s comedy-drama series, This Way Up has returned for a second season. The first episode of the new season was a solid if an unspectacular entry for the series. Étienne (Dorian Grover) goes back to France for the first time since his mother’s death. That means Áine (Bea) and Richard (Tobias Menzies) can have sex for […]
Ted Lasso Season Two Review
For anyone worried about a sophomore slump, fear not – season two of Ted Lasso is just as charming, kind, funny, and moving as season one. In fact, I loved the three episodes provided to critics* so much that I have watched them three times each as I impatiently wait for the July 23rd premiere […]

Loki – For All Time. Always. Review
So, it was Kang the Conqueror all along! Or rather, some version of Kang who saw the devastation wrought by his own Variants and took steps to orchestrate a universe in which such chaos and destruction would be banished from existence. I was on the “There’s no way they introduce Kang on a Disney+ show!” […]

It is also set to be one of the most controversial episodes amidst the fandom. Morty discovers the magic of the breeding mount at the horse hospital […]
