The Big Door Prize, the new dramedy series from AppleTV+ (adapted from M.O. Walsh’s book of the same name) looks at how group-think – and predictions of the future – can impact a town and force people to take a good hard look at their lives and who they want to become. The plot itself […]
Kiff is a musical comedy animated series by Lucy Heavens and Nic Smal. They are known for their work in the animation industry, either script writing, storyboarding, or voice acting. This post will have spoilers. The plot of Kiff focuses on a young flying squirrel named Kiff Chatterley (voiced by Kimiko Glenn), who is friends […]
If there’s one clear theme in this final season of Picard, outside of the delivery of fan service by the truckload – done in such a way that it neither feels like it’s pandering nor like it’s simply checking a box, no small feat indeed – it’s family, both in the Fast and the Furious […]
After last week’s detour to see how Doctor Pershing was acclimating himself to his new life in the New Republic (not great, Bob!), this week returns us fully to the action of the Mandalorian cult as Grogu begins his Mandalorian training and Bo-Katan further enmeshes herself with her new family through orchestrating a successful rescue […]
If I had to pick a favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation character, it would have to be Q. Even after the debacle of last season of Picard, he has a special place in my TV-loving heart. But if I had to pick a second character? Hands down Ro Laren. I remember watching her appearance […]
Extrapolations, the new anthology drama set to debut on AppleTV+ this Friday, is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. And, even for people who can laud its big narrative swings, I suspect it will struggle to find an audience throughout its eight episode running time. That’s not a dig at the performances, the […]
Well, that was far and away the best episode of this season of The Mandalorian, and it is a tad worrisome that such a strong episode relied very little on any of the Mandalorians (although, there was a nice bookend of scenes that were the strongest outing we’ve had from Mando in a story and […]
The first season finale of The Last of Us was excellent for a number of reasons. Strong performances, once again, from our two leads – along with some great work from Merle Dandridge in her return as Marlene and Ashley Johnson (the video game’s Ellie) as Ellie’s mother, Anna.* A story that was unafraid to […]
I suspect there’s little, if anything, I or any other critic could write about the third (and possibly final?) season of Ted Lasso that could either dissuade someone or convince someone to watch the series at this point. At this stage in the game, you’ve either been thoroughly charmed by the fish out of water […]
Is it bad that Captain Shaw might be my favorite character on Star Trek: Picard this season? Ok, fine, I suppose he isn’t my favorite character, but he’s a symptom of the larger element of what is making the series feel so different this time around: fun. Everyone, from Patrick Stewart on down, is clearly […]
