Russian Doll, Netflix’s new dramedy, is, as has been reported by numerous TV critics, the perfect binge show. There are eight episodes, each clocking in at under 30 minutes. It’s a complete mind-fuck puzzle box story that ::gasp:: actually comes together perfectly at the end (take note, Westworld, this is totally possible). Oh, and it […]
Ok, so Netflix’s newest comedy series Sex Education might not be a hidden gem, but it doesn’t seem to have captured the zeitgeist like House of Cards or Orange is the New Black did upon their arrival on the site, so I’m going to assume that the series hasn’t reached the masses at Bird Box-level […]
I was raised on Star Trek. I’ve watched every series (save Enterprise) from beginning to end (yup, even Voyager). While I wouldn’t call myself a Trekkie, I do think I know enough about Trek to be able to decide if a series is worthy of the moniker and the history that has come before it. […]
Based on a series of novellas by Luke Jennings the BBC’s Killing Eve was considered one of the best TV shows of 2018, including by our own Jean Henegan. But did it live up to the praise? Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) is an American-born British intelligence officer who’s tasked to find a skilled but sadistic assassin, Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Both women […]
Since the revival of Doctor Who the show has seen its most extraordinary changes with a new creative team. There was a big risk with its choice of showrunner and Jodie Whittaker becoming the first female Doctor. Following her regeneration the Thirteenth Doctor lands in Sheffield and meets her new companions, Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yaz […]
Every year I sit down to write my list of the Top 10 TV Shows of the year, and every year I’m faced with a list that goes well beyond the ten I’ve limited myself to. Sometimes, I cheat a bit and include Honorable Mentions. Or I contemplate opening the list to additional shows, combining […]
A few weeks ago, a question was posed to TV critics on Twitter: What are the Top 10 best streaming shows, not counting international shows that air in the US on streaming sites? A smattering of critics discussed what they would pick, and the choices included several common shows, but, for the most part, were […]
As someone who grew up watching the TGIF staple Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I will admit I was pretty intrigued when I heard everyone’s favorite teenage half witch-half mortal would be returning to television, albeit in a much darker capacity than the version from my childhood. I was even more interested in the project when […]
House of Cards will always have a special place in the annals of TV history as the first original series trotted out by streaming giant Netflix. Premiering six and a half years ago to much fanfare, based on a successful British series, and starring two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey chewing scenery, Cards was a pulpy […]
I’m not a big horror fan. Well, I guess that’s not quite true. I’m not a big fan of what constitutes horror most of the time today. I don’t like “torture porn” and I want my entertainment to have interesting complex characters and an equally as compelling story. Something like Saw doesn’t really interest me, […]
