This week’s episode of Ted Lasso was a weird one. On the one hand, there were several really lovely sections that went a long way at fleshing out key characters within the season. And on the other, there were moments so outlandish and strange that they went beyond the point of stretching the bounds of […]
I’m starting to get a bit worried about the direction of this season of Ted Lasso. Perhaps it’s a coincidence that this is also the first episode of the season that wasn’t provided for critics for our pre-season reviews, but we’ve hit the halfway point in the season and are rapidly running out of runway […]
This week’s episode was an interesting one for me to try to review. Because, on the one hand, I certainly laughed more at this episode than any other of the ones I have seen. But, on the other, so much of the episode felt overly contrived and juvenile in its structure. Yes, dealing with cliques […]
First things first: I find it hard to believe that someone like Ted Lasso had never heard of Susan Boyle. Her success on Britain’s Got Talent was one of the biggest stories around both the UK and US when it happened and even someone who is as offline as Ted surely would have heard of […]
Two things are clear by the end of “Curiouser and Curiouser!” First, this new season of Ted Lasso is very much a retread of season one – for good and for ill. We have Ted returning to take over the reins of a team that is floundering in the second tier of English football, with […]
I was not a fan of season three of Ted Lasso. It was overlong, unfocused, and, somehow, still shockingly rushed at the end. So, when it was announced that the series would be returning after a three-year hiatus – this time, with Ted returning to Richmond to coach their up-and-coming women’s team – I was […]
When a friend asked me how I would describe the fourth season of Ted Lasso, the best description I could come up with – based largely on this season premiere – was a warm hug. Because, considering the polarizing nature of the show’s third season – which I enjoyed at the outset and then was […]
I’ll admit that I had a hard time really getting into Lucky, the new thriller from AppleTV+ that is based on the novel of the same name. There’s a lot of action – car chases, foot races, hiding behind large vehicles whilst someone stalks around with a gun. And there’s a decent enough story being […]
I’ve been lukewarm, at best, on the past two seasons of AppleTV+’s post-apocalyptic thriller Silo. It’s a show with a lot of mythology, a lot of questions, and a shockingly high cast turnover rate. And it’s also a show that has been loathe to offer up any answers to the central questions of the series*, […]
In the pilot of Game of Thrones, Ned Stark teaches Jon, Robb, and Theon a crucial lesson that resonates throughout the rest of the series: He who passes sentence should swing the sword. It might not be the exact lesson Daemon was attempting to teach Rhaenyra as she prepared to ascend to the Iron Throne, […]
