Well, that was a bit of a mixed bag of an episode. On the one hand, we finally got a better idea of just what Miss Minutes has been up to (and, as many guessed, she was indeed up to no good), along with how Ravonna Renslayer fits into the story after a couple episodes […]

Upload Season Three Review
I came to Upload a bit slowly. I was lukewarm on its first season, enjoyed the second season, and now, with the series’ third season, I can officially call myself a fan of this quirky – and now pretty high-concept – Prime Video comedy series. When we last left our heroes, Nathan had been downloaded […]
Young Love Spoiler-Filled Review
Young Love is a mature animated comedy spun off from the short film, Hair Love, by Matthew A. Cherry, Everett Downing Jr., and Bruce W. Smith. Cherry, who created this series, began working in the entertainment industry in 2007. Downing created the Afrofuturist series My Dad the Bounty Hunter. Smith created The Proud Family and […]
The Fall of the House of Usher Review
The Mike Flanagan suite of Netflix miniseries have been a bit of a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House (although not as much as many did). I was a huge fan of The Haunting of Bly Manor (save for the atrocious penultimate episode). I didn’t love Midnight Mass. And I […]
Loki – Breaking Bad Review
Now that felt like the best of Loki. From the excellent character pairings (I’m really enjoying Rafael Casal’s X-5) to the not all that complex story arc within the episode (although I’m still a bit hazy on why the multiple timelines is ok when having them throws the entirety of existence into question*), “Breaking Bad” […]
Lessons in Chemistry Review
For the initial six episodes of Lessons in Chemistry’s eight-episode run, I found myself disappointed by the series. The performances – namely star Brie Larson’s turn as Elizabeth Zott, the writing (the series is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name), and the structure of the series as a whole all felt off. […]

Loki – Ouroboros Review
After two years and change away, the Norse god of mischief is back for more timeline jumping and pruning with season two of Loki. And considering the state of the MCU in the time that he’s been off our screens, well, his return couldn’t have come soon enough. With the series adding Oscar winner Ke […]

Groening and Weinstein are executive producers, along with Rough Draft Studios Vice President Claudia Katz, writer Eric Horstead, writer and producer Bill Oakley, and former Writers Guild of […]
Ahsoka – Part 8: The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord Review
Before I dive into the review, I wanted to offer some kudos to Dave Filoni for that episode title. “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord” absolutely made me chuckle. And, as I thought more about it, there were plenty of parallels to be found between this episode of Ahsoka and The Lion, the Witch, […]
