Netflix: The King of the College Sports Documentary Series
Over the weekend, social media blew up with post after post lauding the new Netflix docu-drama Cheer.

Whilst in the post-apocalyptic aftermath George Jr. (Woody Norman) […]
Deputy is Flawed but Fun
Usually I watch TV previews over and over again for shows that look impressive. When it came to the Fox drama Deputy, I actually re-watched the preview several times thinking, “Someone actually thought this would make a good show in 2020?” So imagine my surprise when the pilot turned out… entertaining. And fun. There are […]

Dare to Cheer For This Show: Dare Me is Too Dark
Cheerleaders with deep, dark secrets. Friends that are sometimes besties and sometimes frenemies. A growing attraction to a coach. Families that are so fraught with dysfunction, it’s no wonder their children act monstrous. And eventually, a murder that results in lots of double-crossing and even more secrets. Sound interesting? It’s the plot of the 1998 […]
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Review
The Disney trilogy of Star Wars films has come to an end and supposedly ends the Skywalker Saga. And like many films in the Star Wars franchises, it has divided the fan base.

Cats Review
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats was one of the longest-running musicals on the West End and Broadway. But the film adaptation was in development hell for years until now. What we got is the most ill-conceived big-budget films in a long time when adapting it. One-night Victoria the White Cat (Francesca Hayward) gets dumped in a bin bag […]
