I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of Netflix’s Mindhunter. I loved the quasi-procedural nature of the series (something I rarely enjoy in television), as the show explored the elements that made some of the country’s most violent serial killers tick. But, despite enjoying watching the investigations and the nascent stages of criminal profiling develop, season […]

The raunchy R-Rated comedy gets a new twist with the release of Good Boys by focusing on three 6th Grade boys who have one wild day out. Max (Jacob Tremblay), Thor (Brady Noon) and Lucas (Keith L.

Warning: This piece will spoil the entire third season of Netflix’s comedy GLOW. So, if you haven’t watched season three yet, fire up your Netflix account and get on it. Seriously, it’s only 10 episodes, and most are under 35 minutes. You can handle that. There’s so much to love about GLOW: The complex characters. […]
