Invincible Season One Review
In the continuing streaming battle, Amazon has fallen behind not only its early rival Netflix, but also recent additions like AppleTV+ in the push for buzzy shows. I rarely hear people talking about the great new show on Amazon – or even talking about Amazon’s TV offerings at all – which is a bit of […]

The Handmaid’s Tale – Season Four Review

Ok, that might sound a bit harsh – and there is, in fact, some forward […]
