Star Trek: Discovery continued its strong run with two very different episodes that served distinct, but important, roles in establishing the series in its new time and place.

Hands down, “The Siege” was my favorite episode yet of the Mandalorian. From relying on character development laid over the long slog through season one to carry most of the episode to finally providing some answers (which only led to more questions, but it was great to get some confirmation regarding the villainous plans of […]

Hanna returned for a second season on Amazon Prime. The second season was able to expand beyond the confines of the being on the run story of the first season. After breaking into the UTRAX facility at the end of Season One only one UTRAX trainee choose to go on the run with Hanna. The […]
As I’m sure you are aware, The Crown is a series based on historical events. In the case of season four, the series covers events that occurred between roughly 1979 and 1990. While I will refrain from discussing specific elements of the season’s plot, there will be some elements that it’s impossible to refrain from […]
His Dark Materials has returned for a second season. “City of Magpies” was a much stronger start than the first episode of Season One. Lord Asriel has opened a portal to the City in the Sky. His actions have started a massive chain of events. The witches believe that this is the start of the […]
