Well, that was a hell of an episode, right? This is the first installment that really feels like the story is taking a step forward – in both the past and present – with our characters starting to move beyond their set patterns of the past seasons and step into the future. And it’s always […]

Severance – Atilla Review
Well, that was a heck of a lot to pack into a single episode. From the much-anticipated meeting between Burt, Irving, and Fields to the continued reintegration of Mark’s Innie and Outie lives, this, for my money, is the episode in season two where things really start kicking into high gear from a story perspective. […]
A Thousand Blows Review
A Thousand Blows, the latest British historical drama from Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders), ostensibly tells the story of the Forty Elephants, an all-female London crime-syndicate who specialize in shoplifting but are aiming for a larger score. I say ostensibly because that is only one portion of the overstuffed story being told, with the other segment […]
Yellowjackets – Dislocation Review
This second installment of season three wasn’t a particularly flashy episode. Rather, it was a tablesetting episode, pushing our characters into their main arcs for the season, showing us which characters would be up against one another, who would be teaming up, and who might have secrets about to be exposed. Once again, our central […]
Yellowjackets – It Girl Review
The Yellowjackets writers know what they’re doing – at least when it comes to hinting at the one thing fans seem to want to know about more than anything else in the series: “Pit Girl” and the hunts. Because boy, was this an episode that teased that particular future moment in spades. From the game […]
Yellowjackets Season Three Review
I was mixed on season two of Showtime’s Yellowjackets, which was hit or miss in its sophomore season after a strong debut. In my season two post mortem, I had a couple of hopes for the series’ third season – namely that the “modern” half of the series would tighten things up from a narrative […]
Severance – Trojan’s Horse Review
Well, that was a lot, wasn’t it? If there’s one thing to say about Severance, it’s that it doesn’t simply just rest on its laurels and draw out the reveals and revelations. Rather, we got further confirmation that Mark is reintegrating both of his selves – albeit with a nagging cough that I suspect is […]
Severance – Woe’s Hollow Review
Out of the six episodes of season two I’ve seen, “Woe’s Hallow” was far and away my favorite (and that’s saying something, as my pre-season review can attest: I loved all of these episodes). I’ll also admit that the first time I watched the episode, it was directly after finishing episode three, (which, you may […]
Severance – Who Is Alive? Review
I’ll admit that this episode of Severance threw me for a loop in a number of ways and left me with more questions than answers – particularly when it comes to the Cobel arc for this season. In fact, I’ve watched it four times thus far, trying to understand just what is going on with […]
Mythic Quest Season Four Review
The brilliance of Mythic Quest’s fourth season is that it knows precisely what it needs to be and does exactly that. It doesn’t try to get too fancy or splashy. Nope. It takes the characters we know and love, the various relationships on the series – romantic, platonic, professional, and other – and uses them […]
