If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my time as a TV critic, it’s that when Allison Jones is listed as a show’s casting director, you’re going to be in for a treat. So, after watching the pilot of AppleTV+’s new show Widow’s Bay – which had a host of actors in it that I […]
It took me several episodes to really fall for the charms of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, the new AppleTV+ series based on the novel of the same name, largely because there’s a lot the series needs to set in motion in those early episodes before we really get a chance to see just what the […]
I’ve been pretty up and down on For All Mankind, AppleTV’s alternative history series built on the question, “What if the Soviet Union had made it to the Moon before the United States?” From that question springs a host of twists and turn on history as we know it, including the Soviet Union lasting into […]
When I saw the cast list for Imperfect Women, the new thriller from AppleTV+ based on the novel of the same name, I was excited to see just what it was about. Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Joel Kinnaman, Leslie Odom, Jr. What a group of excellent actors. And then I watched […]
Shrinking is the perfect example of what happens when a good show gets the time to work out the kinks early, establish characters, relationships, and build a world, and then gets the chance to run with it all. Is Shrinking perfect in its third season? No, it’s not – which is almost fitting for a […]
The first season of Hijack, the AppleTV thriller starring Idris Elba as a corporate negotiator stuck on a hijacked plane – where his family on the ground is also placed in danger to help ensure his compliance with the hijackers – wasn’t anything particularly special. Certainly not special enough to warrant a second season – […]
Well, that was a hell of a mic drop last line – and something fun to tide us over until we get that second season (which has already been greenlit by Apple, so fear not, it is coming). But what a wild ride. We got to see just who Manuosus really is – and how […]
Oh Carol. I don’t think that attempt at appeasement ended up the way you thought it would. Although, I’m also not completely convinced that there isn’t some aspect of the original Zosia still lingering under that hive mind, slowly seeping out through the cracks. And then there’s Manuosos, who’s inching ever closer to Albuquerque, expecting […]
For the first time since I began creating annual top ten lists – over a decade ago, now – I actually had to struggle to find shows to select. It’s not that there wasn’t a lot of good TV this year – there was, as you’ll see from reading through my various reviews over the […]
Well. That was quite the episode. And, for my money (having not seen the last two episodes of the season just yet) the best one so far in Pluribus’s freshman season. After watching Carol actively push everyone and everything away – both in her quest to discover a means to put the world back the […]
