If you were in Middle School during the late 90s/early 2000s, I suspect you have already heard of Hulu’s spectacular coming of age comedy Pen15 (and if not, well, watch it). The show’s first season aired on the streaming service in 2019 and was a delightful mix of the silly, the gross, and the nostalgic. […]
Ew. I’ve watched a lot of television in my time and I think this episode of Lovecraft Country was far and away the grossest thing I’ve seen on TV. That being said, it was also a pretty great episode of TV (once you got past the skin shedding and the mafioso tied up and tortured […]
The approach Lovecraft Country has taken to episode structure in its short time on the air has certainly been unique. After burning through enough plot for an entire season during the show’s first two episodes, episodes three and four have each tackled a particular film genre (haunted house in episode three and an Indiana Jones-style […]
Another week, another disappointment. Enzo got the ball rolling by winning a ball-rolling Head of Household competition that was rather mundane and boring and nominated two players America actually liked, Kaysar and Kevin. Kaysar was still reeling from losing Janelle, his half-duo partner (and America was still in mourning for Janelle). So we already knew […]

Yaz, Graham, and a group of surviving humans are trapped on a Cyberman spaceship, and The Doctor is forced to go with The Master […]

This review discusses the second season of the Amazon series The Boys. While I have avoided including any spoilers (or, rather, what I consider to be spoilers), if you would like to watch the season knowing absolutely nothing about what will happen and without any idea of where things might go, I would recommend avoiding […]
Lovecraft Country‘s third installment, “Holy Ghost,” was a curious change in narrative structure. For its first two episodes, it seemed as though the series would be a tightly serialized drama. But this week, the story jumped forward several weeks from the tragic events of Ardham and gave us a haunted house story that, on first […]
Well, that was a hell of a lot of plot to churn through in a single hour of television. And to remove two of the show’s most recognizable actors from the gameboard this early in the run of a series (that would be Courtney B. Vance – who certainly could still come back from the […]
The week of Memphis (and why do the “jock” type white males always win early? Whyyyyyyyy?) proved to be more watchable than expected, although that was mainly because the end result wasn’t terrible. Who won? Memphis targeting David and Nicole A. wasn’t initially terrible–and while Nicole A. didn’t suffer an epic meltdown about it, her […]
