Where’s Roma Downey when we need her? In the second episode of season two, “A is for Angel,” our team’s primary task involves studying and assessing a recently converted parishioner who believes he is channeling the Archangel Michael. Bishop Marx (Peter Scolari) asks them to determine if he is possessed by angelic forces, demonic forces, […]
If last week’s installment of Loki was all about character, “The Nexus Event” was all about plot. And with only two episodes remaining in the series, having an episode dedicated to pushing the series towards its climax was much needed – and incredibly well executed. Nothing brings me greater joy as a viewer and as […]
Rick and Morty are back for a fifth season of their popular series. The first episode of the season was a fine start with the show having its usual mix of cynicism and nihilism. Morty saves Rick from a near-death situation. Instead of being grateful, Rick is mad at Morty because he must face his nemesis, […]
The greatest strength of television is that it can provide us the chance to watch characters grow and change over the course of a longform story. This is particularly true with serialized stories, where week-to-week the plot builds upon itself while also allowing the same of the show’s characters. It’s why several seasons into a […]
Evil is back. Yes, after enough real-life problems that we’ve faced in the past eighteen months while Evil has been off the air, it’s great to lose ourselves to the fictional and psychological thriller. But where should we start? To be possessed or not to be possessed, that is the question. While we’ve been teased […]
Things moved along at a brisk clip in this week’s installment of Loki, giving us all the remaining exposition we need to grasp just what is happening in the series, but continuing to make its delivery wholly engaging through the use of the MCU’s newest buddy team: Mobius and Loki (yeah, I never thought that […]
If you are going to have a series centered around a number of unlikeable people, you have to give your audience a reason to root for them (hell, even just a reason to root for one of them can be enough). In the era of Peak TV, we were shown a host of antiheroes (think […]
Curfew is a British action dystopia series that has a talented cast of big and emerging names. What was delivered was the TV version of a B-Movie. In the near future Britain has a nightly curfew to protect civilians from zombie-like creatures called Mooks. During the curfew is an annual race from London to Scotland. The […]
In the realm of television (well, at least Disney+ television), the MCU is currently batting .500. While WandaVision was a definite success, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was much more uneven and left a lot to be desired.* So, now we come to Loki, a series that takes an incredibly popular (and in the […]
Lisey’s Story has one of the best television casts ever constructed: Julianne Moore, Clive Owen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joan Allen, Ron Cephas Jones, Dane Dehaan, Michael Pitt. I mean, come on, three of those actors in a show would be incredible, but all of them? It’s an embarrassment of riches! And each one is acting […]
