As Derry Girls gets closer to its conclusions the Ma’ams get a spotlight episode with “The Reunion.” It’s the 20 Year Reunion for the students of Our Lady Immaculate College. This includes the parents of the Derry Girls. This marks the first time they face Janette Joyce nee O’Shea (Justine Mitchell) a former friend who now looks down […]
Conversations with Friends, Hulu’s second miniseries based on a Sally Rooney novel after last year’s smash hit success Normal People, stalls out midway through its 12-episode run and never manages to get back on track to make the series a worthwhile watch. Having not read the book the series is based on, I don’t know […]
Early on in the series premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, there’s a name drop that is meant to peak the audience’s interest: Captain Pike (the excellent Anson Mount) has requested a Lieutenant Kirk to join the crew compliment. Any Trek fan worth their salt is aware that Pike was the captain of the […]
And with that, we bid farewell to Star Trek: Picard season two (while we wait on pins and needles for the highly promoted Next Generation reunion to come in season three – although Jeri Ryan has gone on record saying that she will be making at least an appearance in the final season of the […]
Derry Girls enters into horror territory with the fourth episode of the third season. Sister Michael finds out her aunt has passed away and lumbers the gang with the task of clearing her aunt’s house for the wake.

We were robbed of the true showdown between Moon Knight and Harrow/Ammit that […]
This was the first episode of this season of Picard that felt wholly of what fans are terming “Old Trek*” – you know, classic Next Generation or Voyager where the good guys manage to fight against seemingly insurmountable odds while battling inner demons to reach a key moral by the close of the episode. And, […]
The third season of Derry Girls has reached the obligatory travel episode with “Strangers on a Train.” This time the gang and the Quinn household face some awkward situations when on the train to Portrush. It’s the annual trip to Barry’s Amusement Park in the seaside town of Portrush. A simple hour-long train trip quickly goes pear-shaped […]
Shining Girls, a psychological thriller coming to AppleTV+ that is based on the novel by the same name, is a curious television series. After watching the entire eight episode first season provided for critics, I know I enjoyed what I saw, but I also have far more questions than answers – and I’m at a […]
Well, the penultimate episode of Moon Knight was far more concerned with explaining just what turned Marc Spector into Steven Grant than it was with taking steps to solve any of the key narrative arcs the show set-up at its outset. Which is all well and good, if you were looking for an MCU series […]
