I’ve never actually seen an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. I think I was just right at the perfect age to not care about the series when it initially premiered in 2000. And while I was aware of it – the basic premise, the fact that Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek were unhinged comedic […]
A key tenet of showbiz is to leave them wanting more, and I’m happy to report that Hacks does just that with its fifth and final season. After four seasons of watching the constant push and pull between Deborah Vance (the sensational Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder, who has matured into a true […]
I’m going to be very honest here: I hated watching The Testaments. It’s not that it’s not an expertly crafted series, it is – the writing is good (if a bit on the nose), the acting is stellar (especially the core group of young women at its center), and the design of the show is […]
The final season of The Boys is not all that dissimilar from season four of The Boys. Or season three. At this stage of the game, I think everyone knows what they’re getting with this series – and if you’re on board, well, you’re going to have some fun with this final ride. Because, as […]

The “Plastics” are replaced by the “Fruits”, Apple (Lili Reinhart), Cherry (Victoria Pedretti), and Fig (Alexandra Shipp), twenty-somethings whose views of social dynamics and […]
If you’re a massive fan of the British series Taskmaster (like I am) you’ve likely already discovered the absolute gem that is Last One Laughing UK. I, somehow, managed to completely miss the first series, and only discovered that the series existed at all midway through the run of its second series (which just wrapped […]
Bursting onto the scene with a strong voice, a distinct style, and a fresh tale is a fantastic way to get yourself noticed. But if your follow-up repeats (or even deepens) the same beats and style, you risk pigeonholing yourself as a certain kind of director. Some are perfectly content to explore the same themes […]
