The AMC+/Shudder anthology series The Terror is finally back for its third (very creepy) season with Devil in Silver, an eight-episode arc that brings the scares to the realm of a New York City mental institution. Adapted from Victor Lavalle’s novel of the same name by Lavalle and Christopher Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire), the […]
When I last wrote about Evil, it was back in its first season – when the series was a solid, if not remarkable, drama on CBS. I’ve spent the last few weeks binging the second and the first half of the show’s third season and I’m here to tell you that the series is in […]
This Way Up is a show that can be brilliant or boring. The fourth episode of the second season was an example of being a dull entry in the series. Aine helps her flatmate, Bradley, with a Windrusher fundraiser. Richard comes to support Aine, but Aine gets worried that he’s getting too friendly with one of […]
The fear of taking an elevator ride is apparently one of the most common fears among Americans and yet there’s no official phobia attached to it. While some call it a “form of claustrophobia,” there are people who aren’t claustrophobic that still fear elevators. So I am going to call it Elevatorphobia. When I heard […]
Aisling Bea’s comedy-drama series, This Way Up has returned for a second season. The first episode of the new season was a solid if an unspectacular entry for the series. Étienne (Dorian Grover) goes back to France for the first time since his mother’s death. That means Áine (Bea) and Richard (Tobias Menzies) can have sex for […]
Where’s Roma Downey when we need her? In the second episode of season two, “A is for Angel,” our team’s primary task involves studying and assessing a recently converted parishioner who believes he is channeling the Archangel Michael. Bishop Marx (Peter Scolari) asks them to determine if he is possessed by angelic forces, demonic forces, […]
Evil is back. Yes, after enough real-life problems that we’ve faced in the past eighteen months while Evil has been off the air, it’s great to lose ourselves to the fictional and psychological thriller. But where should we start? To be possessed or not to be possessed, that is the question. While we’ve been teased […]
After six episodes the storylines of This Way Up culminate for the season finale and the show’s strongest entry. A day approaches for both Aine (Aisling Bea) and Shona (Sharon Horgan). It’s Richard’s (Tobias Menzies) birthday which Aine believes to be the perfect time to make her move. Sharon is set to launch her female networking group […]
After the story-lite Episode 3, This Way Up returns to form with the fourth episode. Aine (Aisling Bea) and Shona (Sharon Horgan) are set to attend a birthday party for Vish’s father (Jeff Mirza). Their mother (Sorcha Cusack) has also been invited which is awkward for Aine since it’s the first time the two have seen each […]
After two strong episodes, the third episode of This Way Up seemed more like a filler episode in the series. Aine (Aisling Bea) has to stay with her sister, Shona (Sharon Horgan), and Shona’s partner, Vish (Aasif Mandvi) due to rats being found in Aine’s flat. During her stay, Shona plans to set her younger sister up […]
