And, with an incredibly poetic (albeit frustrating) final scene, Killing Eve wraps its most uneven season to date. While I’ve been writing about it for the past eight weeks, often calling it out for its shockingly incoherent plotting and spiraling narrative, I had genuinely high hopes for the finale. I was expecting it to tie […]

Rick and Morty – Never Ricking Morty Review
“Never Ricking Morty” was the most ambitious and meta episodes of the fourth season so far. Rick and Morty find themselves trapped on a literal story device, a space train filled with characters who have had a past with Rick. Rick and Morty seek for a way to escape the trains as they experience various […]
Central Park (Spoiler-Free) Review
If you love Bob’s Burgers but wish the series included more musical numbers (and boy, has that show had some great musical numbers), have I got a series for you! Central Park, the first major animation release from Apple TV+, comes from the minds of Burgers writers Loren Bouchard and Nora Smith, adding Josh Gad […]
The Last Kingdom Season Four Review
The fourth season of The Last Kingdom is the biggest season yet and sees more conflict between the Saxons and Danes and within the Saxon kingdoms.

Grant Review
There’s a moment in the second night of Grant where an exhausted Robert E. Lee and fellow Confederate leaders are debating what Ulysses S. Grant will do after a few days of fighting to a stalemate in The Battle of The Wilderness in Virginia. The other commanders tell Lee that Grant will retreat. “Tell me […]
Killing Eve – Beautiful Monster Review
Well gang, we’ve done it. We’ve made it through the penultimate episode of season three of Killing Eve, and I sure hope you understand all of what the show is trying to show us better than I do at this point. Watching this episode I had multiple moments where I was genuinely confused at how […]
Rick and Morty – Rattlestar Ricklactica Review

When Rick and Morty spacecar break down, Morty defies Rick’s orders and leaves the car. This starts a chain of events where Morty gets […]
Killing Eve – End of Game Review
We finally got an episode that contained a pretty even balance of the show’s central four characters. It only took nearly the entire season to get us to this point; a season that had far too many rambling narrative tangents that pulled focus away from the season’s central arc, thereby making it a muddled mess […]
Snowpiercer (Spoiler-Free) Review
If you haven’t seen Bong Joon Ho’s 2013 post-apocalyptic thriller Snowpiercer (which starred Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton and was the Oscar-winning director’s first – and to this point, only – mostly English language film)*, I’d recommend you sit down and watch it immediately. It’s really great. Then I would recommend that you skip this […]
Rick and Morty – Claw and Horder: Special Ricktim’s Morty Review
The fantasy-themed “Claw and Horder: Special Ricktim’s Morty” has quickly earned a reputation for being one of the worst Rick and Morty episodes. But is it really worthy of this status? After an off-world adventure, Rick has to live up to his promise to give Morty a dragon. However, the dragon, Balthromaw (Liam Cunningham), is unenthusiastic about the arrangement […]
