A note before I begin the review: I’ve never played the game Fallout or any other game in its universe. So, I cannot comment on how the series is like the game or how it brings in any characters or creatures from the game. This review will look at the series solely as a standalone […]
The new darkly comedic Prime Video series Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a long road to get to the streamer. Initially meant to be a collaboration between Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge back in 2021 (two of the hottest multi-hyphenates in Hollywood), it was announced roughly seven months later that Waller-Bridge had left the project […]
The first season of Invincible, Prime Video’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman (who also created the animated series), Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley’s comic series of the same name, was a surprising success for the streaming service. Telling the tale of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), a high school senior with a superhero for a dad (that […]
I came to Upload a bit slowly. I was lukewarm on its first season, enjoyed the second season, and now, with the series’ third season, I can officially call myself a fan of this quirky – and now pretty high-concept – Prime Video comedy series. When we last left our heroes, Nathan had been downloaded […]
I’ll get this out of the way upfront: If you’re a big fan of The Boys, you’re going to enjoy Gen V. The new spin-off from Prime Video’s biggest hit takes a similar approach to the world of superheroes as its mothership series – these aren’t heroes we can look to for hope and protection […]
Attend the tale of Delores Roach. In an unabashed riff on the class story of Sweeney Todd (unabashed in the sense that the series has a character compare the story to that of the Stephen Sondheim musical late in the first season), The Horror of Delores Roach isn’t all that original. However, in its leading […]
Before its screeners even hit our email inboxes, Amazon’s new massive spy-thriller series Citadel was a known entity. Unfortunately for the series – and for Prime Video – it was known for budget overruns (reports have the first, six-episode season clocking in at around $300 million), serious conflicts behind the scenes with co-creators being fired […]
It took me a grand total of one episode of Dead Ringers to determine that this is not a show for me. But, like a good critic, I kept watching, wanted to make sure I provided the best breakdown of what worked on the series and what didn’t – and trying to keep my own […]
The fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a strange amalgam of the best things about the series (chiefly, its two leading ladies) and the most annoying (the characters, the uneven pacing) – along with the both interesting and frustrating new addition of copious time jumps throughout episodes. In short, if you’ve […]
There’s something special about Daisy Jones and The Six, the limited series from Prime Video adapting the bestselling book from Taylor Jenkins Reid*. The series takes what could be (and, despite its strengths, sometimes is) a rather simplistic look at a smash hit rock group from the 70s who called it quits at the height […]
