When I found out that Nine Perfect Strangers was adapted from a book (and that it was from Liane Moriarty, who also wrote Big Little Lies), many of the limited series’ shortfalls began to make sense – what can work on the page, and lend some depth to characters and stories, doesn’t always translate well […]
The fourth episode of This Way Up’s second season was disappointing because it was a nothing episode. The follow-up episode was a big improvement as it was filled with character drama. It’s Shona’s Hen Do, but it has to be a scaled-back affair due to the rise of the Coronavirus. Vish drops a bombshell on […]
When one hears that Taika Waititi has a new half hour series on FX (or, if you’ve cut the cord, FX on Hulu), your initial reaction might be to assume it’s another comedy a la What We Do in the Shadows (which will be returning to both FX and Hulu this fall for season three). […]
The first installment of Marvel and Disney+’s new series What If . . .? asks the question “What if Captain Carter were the first Avenger? (Instead of Steve Rogers.)” The answer, as you might have expected, was that Peggy Carter would become a hero swathed in the Union Jack, kicking Nazi ass and sacrificing herself […]
Season Five of Rick and Morty has been seen as a downgrade in quality. “Rickternal Friendship of the Spotless Mort” show there is still plenty of life in the show. The Smith family goes on a cruise and leaves Rick home alone. Rick uses this time to resurrect Birdperson who had been turned into a cyborg by […]
This Way Up is a show that can be brilliant or boring. The fourth episode of the second season was an example of being a dull entry in the series. Aine helps her flatmate, Bradley, with a Windrusher fundraiser. Richard comes to support Aine, but Aine gets worried that he’s getting too friendly with one of […]
Rick and Morty is a weird show. The episode “Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion” somehow combines anime, gangster films, and one of the worst plot developments in Rick and Morty’s history. When going to Boob World with Morty and Summer, Rick finds the Blue Gotron Ferret. This means Rick has finally completed his collection of Gotron Ferrets and […]
After watching the first three episode of Mr. Corman, the new AppleTV+ series created by and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I was ready to write up a complete pan of the series. I hated it and couldn’t find anything remotely redeemable in the show. But, having watched the seven additional episodes of the first season, I […]
After two decent if unremarkable episodes, the second season of This Way Up finally hits it stride with its third episode. Áine makes steps setting up an educational business with James. However, Shona is still sceptical and gives Áine a grilling at a meeting. Áine also has to face relationship and personal issues. There were three things […]
Are you a fan of What We Do in the Shadows (either the excellent film or the excellent TV series)? Did you love the episode of The X-Files where Mulder and Scully appeared on an episode of Cops? Or do you just like laughing at silly, yet still smartly crafted, parodies of cop and paranormal […]
