I think it’s safe to say that Picard has had a shaky run thus far. The main culprit has been uneven storytelling and character development, taking a universally beloved character in Jean-Luc Picard and saddling him with a story that doesn’t work alongside new characters who don’t pop the way his former crew members of […]
I love a creative sci-fi drama. I also love a reto-set story that pulls from sci-fi to create a cool blend of mid-century style with futuristic elements that set the series apart from your usual 50s/60s-set stories. And that’s essentially what Hello Tomorrow!, a new AppleTV+ series from Amit Bhalla and Lucas Jansen is – […]
My Dad the Bounty Hunter is a coming-of-age animated sci-fi adventure series by Everett Downing Jr. and Patrick Harpin. Both have worked in the animation industry for many years, often as storyboarders or writers. However, this is their first series they have created on their own. This review will have spoilers. This animated series centers […]
The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder is a coming-of-age animated sitcom and adventure by Bruce W. Smith and Ralph Farquhar, two well-known producers. It is a revival and soft reboot of The Proud Family, a classic Disney series by Smith which aired in the early 2000s. This review will have spoilers. This animated series centers […]
After five episodes – all stellar, smart, and well-constructed – I think it’s become clear just what makes The Last of Us work as well as it does.

His Dark Materials has come to a close, ending on a bittersweet note with “The Botanic Garden.” Lyra and Will have fled into the World of the Mulefas, searching for their dæmons. In this paradise, Lyra and Will come across an old friend, Mary. Lyra and Will finally get to act on their feelings for each […]
After last week’s emotional tour de force, The Last of Us made the right move in taking a beat before fully diving into the next confrontation for Joel and Ellie. Now, I’m sure there will be some people who want the series to be more of a go, go, go narrative arc, but this is […]
It will only take you about two episodes to figure out if Dear Edward, an adaptation of the novel of the same name, will be your type of show. For me, it definitely wasn’t. But I suspect it’s a series that will find an audience – largely because shows with a similar look, feel, and […]
It is finally here, His Dark Materials is showing the final battle between the forces of good and evil with the episode “The Clouded Mountain.” Metatron has arrived with all his forces at the Republic of Heaven. Asriel and his numbers are outnumbered and the odds for victory seem remote. Asriel’s forces also need to find Lyra […]
Horrible people skills when talking to strangers. Incredible insights to solve a mystery. Complicated relationships with all those close to him. If you think you’ve seen this character before, you’re probably right. In yet another take on a Sherlock Holmes-type, Will Trent from the new ABC show of the same name is a mix of […]
