Every time I begin watching a new series, I want it to be great. I want it to be so exceptional that I finish each episode and cannot wait to see just what is going to happen next. I went into watching the screeners for The Rainmaker, the new USA/Peacock series loosely based on John […]
Well, it had to happen at some point: a dud in a season of pretty solid hits. I almost feel bad writing this, as I love the series so much that even a weak episode in the lot is still better than a lot of shows at their best, but I can’t say I enjoyed […]
Well that was a fun palette cleanser after a couple of rounds of heavier stuff. Although I suspect the burgeoning relationship between Spock and La’an will have some segments of the fanbase (namely, those who are full-on Spock-Chapel and/or La’an-Kirk shippers) up in arms. Personally, while I would rather have our main characters not dealing […]
I didn’t love this episode. While it offered some key pieces of character development for three of our characters (despite still only being a guest star – or, perhaps a recurring character – Captain Batel is getting a heck of a lot of screen time), the episode felt a bit muddled at times in how […]
Film criticism has produced some famous personalities and publications. Some famous critics in the US and UK have been Robert Ebert, Gene Siskel, Mark Kermode, Barry Norman, and Kim Newman. YouTube has seen a rise in critics, with one of the most well-known being Chris Struckmann, who is now a filmmaker. However, since the mid-to-late […]
I have to admit, what initially drew me in to watch Code of Silence, the new British drama series, was its basic conceit. Police canteen worker Alison is asked to help out on an investigation into a potential robbery of a high-profile necklace after it becomes clear that the police will not be able to […]
Everything can benefit from having Rhys Darby. And boy, did this outing from Strange New Worlds absolutely soar with his addition to the proceedings as Trelane, a trickster character from The Original Series that we now know – thanks to a delightful voice over appearance from John de Lancie – is officially a part of […]
When you end a season on a cliffhanger and then wait so long to release the next season that the season after that one starts production, it becomes hard to hide whether or not certain characters make it through the resolution of said cliffhanger alive and mostly well. And when you release a trailer that […]
After two years in stasis, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back for its third season. And, just to give you a taste of how long it’s been off the air, in that time the series has started filming its fourth season (several months ago, in fact) and been renewed for a fifth – and […]
For those folks who watch Foundation solely to watch Lee Pace chew the scenery whilst in various stages of undress, I’m happy to report that you’re going to enjoy a lot of what season three of this complex sci-fi drama has to offer. Because no matter how confusing the mythology gets – or how many […]
