“Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship” was pretty much what one expects from a second episode: answer some of the questions raised in the series premiere, raise several more, and keep the plot moving forward (which, in the realm of Watchmen, means taking a few trips to the past). It was a smart, competent hour of […]
A bit of housekeeping before I jump into my review of the Watchmen series premiere, “It’s Summer and We’re Running Out of Ice.” First up, I’ll be reviewing this exquisite new series on a weekly basis here at Pop Culture Maniacs, and I’m happy you’ve opted to join me on this journey. Next, as with […]
Perhaps the best compliment I can give Big Mouth is that when I reached the end of season three, I didn’t realize it and was utterly crushed that there wasn’t another episode to watch. It’s rare to find a show that is both so smart and so soulful – that isn’t afraid to really go […]
Amazon’s latest television offering sounds great on paper: an anthology series exploring love in the Big Apple, starring the likes of Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, Tina Fey, John Slattery (Mad Men), and Andrew Scott (the Hot Priest of Fleabag), where each episode clocks in at around 30 minutes.

The Regatta was a success, boosting Sanditon’s reputation as a seaside resort. It means preparations can be made for the Midsummer Ball. There are important changes […]
I should know by now to trust Vince Gilligan when he says he has an idea that will bring us all back into the Breaking Bad universe. But, as with the announcement of Better Call Saul six years ago, I approached El Camino with caution. After all, I was part of the camp of critics […]
Sanditon has reached its penultimate episode and after the adventures in London the series has returned to more traditional territory for a period drama. It is time for the Regatta, the event that could make or break Sanditon as a trendy destination. It is especially important for Tom (Kris Marshall) because Lady Denham (Anna Reid) lies […]
After a wait of just over a year Disenchantment is back for a second part and shows that the series has matured – along with its characters. Dreamland has fallen: King Zøg (John DiMaggio) has been betrayed by his resurrected wife, Dagmar (Sharon Horgan), and the citizens have been turned to stone. Dagmar has taken her daughter, Princess Tiabeanie, AKA Bean (Abbi Jacobson) […]
The fifth episode of Sanditon ended with a big cliffhanger which served as a jumping-off point for episode six. An episode that is the least like other Jane Austen adaptations. Georgiana (Crystal Clarke) had been kidnapped and taken to London. Charlotte (Rose Williams) goes to the big, strange city to try and find her friend but finds […]
How do you solve a problem like Jeffrey Tambor, the Emmy-winning star of Transparent, getting fired from the show after accusations of sexual harassment? Well, if you’re Jill Soloway, you decide to scrap plans for a fifth and final season of the show and simply (well, not simply, this was clearly a lot of work […]
