After watching six of the eight episodes of The Peripheral – a new sci-fi puzzlebox drama from Prime Video – I honestly don’t know what to make of the show. An adaptation of William Gibson’s book of the same name (part of a series of books, which one presumes Prime is hoping to adapt further […]
“The Eye,” the penultimate episode of The Rings of Power’s first season, had the tricky task of bridging between the best episode of the season (the epic Battle of the Southlands) and the season finale. And, on the whole, it did a serviceable job wrapping up the devastation of the battle, setting things in motion for […]
Well, color me surprised. I didn’t think we would be getting the Númenoreans battling with the Southlanders against Adar and the Orcs, well, ever. I was assuming that by the time Galadriel and Númenor reached the Southlands, the Men would have been overrun. But boy, was I thrilled to be wrong, as “Udûn” turned out […]
Our latest journey into the realm of Middle Earth (or, rather, Middle Earth and the island of Numenor, as the kingdom no longer communes with their forbearers within Middle Earth) brought more of the same for the series (albeit with 100% fewer dwarf interactions, which is a major downgrade in my book).

Say what you will about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the new massively epic from Prime Video, but my god if this isn’t the most visually stunning television series I have ever seen. The cynic in me says, “Well, it better be – the all-in cost for the series is around […]

If you can’t wait until June 2nd for the third season of Amazon’s hit dark superhero series The Boys (and yes, I’m certainly one of those people), Amazon has provided a nice appetizer to tide you over: The Boys Presents: Diabolical. This animated series offers bite-sized stories (with episodes clocking in around 10-15 minutes in […]
In December 2020, I wrote that there is “hope in the future for diverse storylines and expanded representation,” adding that there is “a lot to look forward to in 2021 in terms of animated series…[which] will undoubtedly affect the ongoing war between streaming platforms for more subscribers, profits for themselves, and film distribution itself.” That […]
The Expanse has had a winding road to reach its sixth and final season. Premiering on SyFy, getting prematurely canceled, getting saved by Amazon (because it just happened to be Jeff Bezos’s favorite television show, and what’s the point of being a billionaire if you can’t ensure that your favorite TV shows live on), and […]
