There is a lot going on in Your Friends and Neighbors, the new Jon Hamm-fronted drama from AppleTV+. A lot. There are a lot of characters (played by a great set of actors who are more than capable of doing what they’re asked to do – or at least, almost all of them are). And […]

The Studio Review
The Studio, the new AppleTV+ comedy from Seth Rogen (who also stars as the new head of the fictional Continental Studios, Matt Remick), Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez (who all also share writing credits on various episodes throughout), is absolutely stacked in terms of cast and creative minds. Hell, the main […]
Severance – Cold Harbor Review
Well, we know what the goats are for – or, at least, were for, as it’s looking like there’s a revolution hitting Lumon and Mammalians Nurturable isn’t going to be providing anymore lambs for the slaughter. As for whether or not all of these Innies will end up slaughtered themselves, well, we’ll have to wait […]
Severance – The After Hours Review
I’ll be honest. I’ve watched this episode twice and I’m still not quite sure what I think about it. On one hand, there was some swift (perhaps too swift) plot movement in all sections of the narrative. On the other, there were some truly earned and gorgeous moments between characters – okay, between Burt and […]
Dope Thief Review
As someone who never read Dennis Tafoya’s 2009 novel “Dope Thief,” which is something I find myself saying a whole heck of a lot when it comes to AppleTV+ series of late, I wasn’t all that sure what to expect when I dove into the eight-episode miniseries. And, you know what? Despite some strange tonal […]
Severance – Sweet Vitriol Review
Let’s be honest: No matter what Severance cooked up this week, it was never going to stand up to the exceptional episode it offered us last week. But you know what? This deep-dive into the past of Harmony Cobel – who has been absent since episode three – was enough of a change of pace […]
Severance – Chikhai Bardo Review
If anyone was harboring any illusions about just how utterly fucked up Lumon is, I’m hoping this episode was enough to disavow you of them. Because Jesus Christ, that was horrific to watch. Seeing Lumon torturing Gemma – and that’s what it is, torture – over the course of years? That’s horrific. It’s fun to […]
Severance – Atilla Review
Well, that was a heck of a lot to pack into a single episode. From the much-anticipated meeting between Burt, Irving, and Fields to the continued reintegration of Mark’s Innie and Outie lives, this, for my money, is the episode in season two where things really start kicking into high gear from a story perspective. […]
Severance – Trojan’s Horse Review
Well, that was a lot, wasn’t it? If there’s one thing to say about Severance, it’s that it doesn’t simply just rest on its laurels and draw out the reveals and revelations. Rather, we got further confirmation that Mark is reintegrating both of his selves – albeit with a nagging cough that I suspect is […]
Severance – Woe’s Hollow Review
Out of the six episodes of season two I’ve seen, “Woe’s Hallow” was far and away my favorite (and that’s saying something, as my pre-season review can attest: I loved all of these episodes). I’ll also admit that the first time I watched the episode, it was directly after finishing episode three, (which, you may […]
