The Crowded Room Review
It’s rare that I get angry while watching a series, but I was definitely angry whilst watching The Crowded Room, the new mystery box drama from AppleTV+. Now, over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out twists and turns in shows. Part of that comes from having to watch so much television for […]
Based on a True Story Review
After two episodes of Based on a True Story, I was ready to throw in the towel and admit defeat.

Ted Lasso Season Three (Series?) Finale: Post-Mortem
A strong series finale can go a long way towards helping an audience forget about minor bumps and bruises a show provided through an uneven series run. But what it can’t do is take a beloved series that almost fully lost sight of everything that made it great in its final run of episodes and […]
Succession/Barry Series Finales: Analysis
I feel like it’s almost unfair to evaluate the Barry finale right now if, like many of us, you watched it immediately after finishing Succession, which just knocked it out of the park. I do feel a little underwhelmed by Barry, but that could just be the inherent contrast between the styles of the respective […]
