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 […]
Doctor Who enters into the realms of gothic horror with the Mary Shelley focused episode “The Haunting of Villa Diodati.” In the year 1816 on the shores of Lake Geneva, some of the greatest writers of the period have gathered together for a night of fun and games.

Any fan of Big Brother has come to love the phrase “expect the unexpected,” so perhaps a relatively quiet first week of Big Brother season 22, or the second edition of Big Brother All Stars, isn’t terrible. In fact, maybe the biggest surprise of all is that CBS managed to successfully launch the show in […]
“Can You Hear Me?” is one of the most ambitious episodes of Series 12. It was an episode that saw The Doctor and pals go from 14th Century Syria, modern-day Sheffield, and the furthest reaches of space. The Doctor drops her companions in Sheffield and allows them to spend time with their friends and family. […]
The Twelve Season of Doctor Who has a second environmentally-themed episode with “Praxeus.” Around the world people start to disappear, including a British astronaut and a Brazilian vlogger. The Doctor and her companions are on hand and already at the locations and start to investigate what happened. The Chibnall era has been criticised for being […]
We’ve known for quite some time that what often makes the best reality TV is our fascination with watching ordinary people deal with (somewhat) extraordinary situations. That’s the formula that works well for shows like Survivor or Amazing Race, where ordinary folks get stranded on an island or have to travel the world and compete […]
