Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season One Review
As someone who grew up watching the TGIF staple Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I will admit I was pretty intrigued when I heard everyone’s favorite teenage half witch-half mortal would be returning to television, albeit in a much darker capacity than the version from my childhood. I was even more interested in the project when […]
House of Cards Goes Out with a Whimper
House of Cards will always have a special place in the annals of TV history as the first original series trotted out by streaming giant Netflix. Premiering six and a half years ago to much fanfare, based on a successful British series, and starring two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey chewing scenery, Cards was a pulpy […]
The Haunting of Hill House Review
I’m not a big horror fan. Well, I guess that’s not quite true. I’m not a big fan of what constitutes horror most of the time today. I don’t like “torture porn” and I want my entertainment to have interesting complex characters and an equally as compelling story. Something like Saw doesn’t really interest me, […]
Big Mouth Season Two (Spoiler-Lite) Review
While Netflix continues to bombard subscribers with insurmountable mountains of content (seriously, I spend my time writing about TV and even I can’t keep up with the amount of content Netflix is churning out), the streaming service still manages to provide far more misses than hits.

BoJack Horseman Season Five (Spoiler-Filled) Review
On paper, it doesn’t sound like it should work: A streaming cartoon series that follows a washed-up sitcom star as he falls deeper into depression and substance abuse, alienating those around him and struggling with his past demons and present problems. Oh, and the lead is an anthropomorphized horse . . . and the other […]

Lifetime’s YOU – (Spoiler-Free) Review
The initial set-up of YOU, Lifetime’s new crazy-addicting soapy drama is pretty skeevy. Joe (a perfectly creepy Penn Badgley), a humble bookstore clerk, falls head-over-heels for a customer, Guinevere “Becks” Beck (Elizabeth Lail) after she flirts a bit with him while buying a book. He gets her full name from her credit card (which, he […]
