There we go. This week’s episode of Rings of Power may have been heavy on the plot (and light on the fighting), but it centered Sauron – sorry, make that Annatar ::wink:: – which helped to make the talking and plot development go down much smoother. As I mentioned in my overall season review, the […]
This week’s Rings of Power episode was an encapsulation of what works within the series and what is much less successful. We had our introduction to Tom Bombadil – the first time the hermit with a heart of gold has appeared on screen in live action form (with the great Rory Kinnear playing him) – […]
Listen, I know it will ultimately result in death and destruction throughout Middle Earth, but you really can see how tempting Sauron’s pitch to Celebrimbor was, right? Especially if one doesn’t know one is currently part of an epic saga entitled The Lord of the Rings where your actions spark an epic conflict. All I’m […]
The Boys are back in town and yes, season four of the Prime series contains everything you’ve loved about past seasons of this series – and many of the same issues that started to seep into the storytelling in season three. It’s been two years since we last saw our heroes and villains – the […]
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 […]
