The first episode sees the teenagers go on a Friends Across the Barricade weekend where Catholic and Protestant teens partake in group activities.

Big Mouth: My Furry Valentine (Spoiler-Free) Review
Something amazing happened last Friday: Big Mouth, the best animated look at the perils and pitfalls of adolescence on television, dropped a special, hour-long Valentine’s Day special. If you’re a fan of this delightfully dirty, yet surprisingly heartfelt, series, you don’t need me to recommend you drop what you’re doing at watch the episode (it’s […]
Russian Doll Review
Russian Doll, Netflix’s new dramedy, is, as has been reported by numerous TV critics, the perfect binge show. There are eight episodes, each clocking in at under 30 minutes. It’s a complete mind-fuck puzzle box story that ::gasp:: actually comes together perfectly at the end (take note, Westworld, this is totally possible). Oh, and it […]
Netflix Hidden Gem: Sex Education
Ok, so Netflix’s newest comedy series Sex Education might not be a hidden gem, but it doesn’t seem to have captured the zeitgeist like House of Cards or Orange is the New Black did upon their arrival on the site, so I’m going to assume that the series hasn’t reached the masses at Bird Box-level […]
Star Trek: Discovery – Brother Review
I was raised on Star Trek. I’ve watched every series (save Enterprise) from beginning to end (yup, even Voyager). While I wouldn’t call myself a Trekkie, I do think I know enough about Trek to be able to decide if a series is worthy of the moniker and the history that has come before it. […]
Killing Eve Season 1 Review
Based on a series of novellas by Luke Jennings the BBC’s Killing Eve was considered one of the best TV shows of 2018, including by our own Jean Henegan. But did it live up to the praise? Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) is an American-born British intelligence officer who’s tasked to find a skilled but sadistic assassin, Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Both women […]
Doctor Who Season 11 Review
Since the revival of Doctor Who the show has seen its most extraordinary changes with a new creative team. There was a big risk with its choice of showrunner and Jodie Whittaker becoming the first female Doctor. Following her regeneration the Thirteenth Doctor lands in Sheffield and meets her new companions, Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yaz […]
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 […]
