We’re a third of the way through Moon Knight and I’m starting to think the shine is already wearing off the apple with this one. Taking into account that this is essentially an origin story mixed with an world-saving adventure (which I think might be a bit more than can be covered within a six […]
So, I wasn’t anticipating writing a review of Star Trek: Picard centered upon mass praise for Brent Spiner’s work this season. Sure, I had heard he would be appearing in the season as yet another Soong in a long line of Soongs, but I didn’t think that the series would allow him to truly flex […]
After one episode, I’m convinced the only reason Moon Knight will succeed – if it succeeds – is due to the charisma of Oscar Isaac. Because, despite what appears to be a pretty insane premise (man with dissociative identity disorder ends up possessed by an ancient Egyptian deity – who is voiced by F. Murray […]
If you’re a fan of old-fashioned spy thrillers – especially if you love a good MI5/British Intelligence yarn – then have I got a show for you. The impressively plotted Slow Horses begins this Friday on AppleTV+ and, in addition to sporting a hell of a British cast (Kristen Scott Thomas, Gary Oldman, Jonathan Pryce), […]
A sign of a good episode (at least within a serialized drama) is that it answers some questions while creating more – and with those new questions, creating a desire to find the answers. While not a ton happened within “Watcher” (outside of meeting at least the physical representation of Picard’s Watcher – more on […]
Pachinko*, AppleTV+’s stunning adaptation of Min Jin Lee’s novel, is the next great television series from the emerging streaming network. Telling the story of three generations of a Korean family, the series jumps throughout the 20th century, taking viewers from Busan in 1931 up to 1989 Tokyo as we learn about the path that brought […]
So, here we are. Like so many Trek shows before it, in the past. Will Picard manage to escape the common time travel pitfalls? Will someone be faced with making a gut-wrenching choice to lose what or who they love so that they can protect the future (I’m willing to bet this is an almost […]
With WeCrashed, AppleTV+ joins the trend of offering up a miniseries based on horrible people who had tons of power and managed to ruin other’s lives. In this case, the horrible, entitled people are Adam and Rebekah Neumann (played here by Oscar winners Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway), the co-founder of WeWork and his wife […]
Ok, Picard. I’m officially hooked on this season’s premise – albeit with the caveat that should the group make their journey to the past, trips back to the “modern” day in Star Trek tend to be a bit of a mixed bag. But I’ll save that discussion for another episode. This time around, I want […]
I was less than enthused with season one of Picard, despite being a huge fan of the titular character (as well as of Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine). It was a season of television that started off asking an interesting question – what regrets befall even the greatest among us when we are left alone […]
