I’ll be the first to admit that my Doctor Who knowledge isn’t nearly as vast as many fans, largely because I’ve only watched a couple of series of the show overall – and all of them have been during the modern era of the series. So, the importance of the Rani’s return has pretty much […]
A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the remaining seasons of the series will be based. So, these reviews will not call […]
After writing about TV for so long, it’s rare that a series manages to pull one over on me. But I’ll be damned if Hacks didn’t completely hoodwink me with Deborah’s selfless sacrifice this week – the repercussions of which will reverberate into next season. There’s an adage that drama is about characters learning and growing […]
This might end up being an unpopular opinion, but the much anticipated return of Pedro Pascal’s Joel to The Last of Us via flashback this week left me mostly cold. Now, that’s not the fault of Pascal, who was acting his ass off throughout the episode, but more so the fault of Craig Mazin and […]
As an American*, I have to admit that the Eurovision Song Contest and all that it entails is rather foreign to me. (Although my social media tells me that it ended today and Austria took home the crown, so congrats to them.) Which means that the outer trappings of this week’s Doctor Who were lost […]
After the muddled resolution to the Debra-Ava feud last week, it was a bit of shock to see the pair are suddenly thick as thieves once more, working seamlessly together to craft jokes. And not even baby AJ’s christening was enough to throw the duo of their game. In fact, I would say that the […]
You know how I said I hoped whatever boulder was about to be chasing Ava and Deborah down the hill into disaster wouldn’t be all that bad? Well, this is looking like it’s gonna be a doozy. But before I get into that, it looks like our other delightful duo – that would be Jimmy […]
I had some very high hopes for Murderbot, AppleTV+’s adaptation of Martha Wells’ spectacular “The Murderbot Diaries” book series. Last summer, on the recommendation of my friend Alice, I started the first book in the series, “All Systems Red,” (which is the premise for this initial season of Murderbot). I burned through that book, and […]
I remember that, years ago now, when I watched the pilot of Andor, I had pretty low hopes for the series. After all, I hadn’t been a big fan of Rogue One. I felt there had been precious little character development in the film and I didn’t care all that much about the characters as […]
This week’s episode of The Last of Us had a delightful smattering of what makes the series work, as well as all the elements that drive me nuts. Which, to be honest, is a pretty impressive combination for a single hour of television. And the tease of a flashback episode next week? Yeah, that’s something […]
