While it might not seem like it on the face of it, pulling off a successful heist series is about as complex as pulling off that heist in real life. You have to have compelling characters on each side of the story – we have to want to watch the criminal masterminds work and we […]
I wasn’t a big fan of Stick, AppleTV’s Owen Wilson-led golf comedy, in its first season. While Wilson was solid, if not spectacular, playing a typical Owen Wilson character in Pryce “Stick” Cahill, the show’s paint by numbers writing and lack of any real emotional depth or stakes didn’t keep my interest. And I wasn’t planning […]
While watching the screeners for Nocturne, the upcoming psychological thriller series from AppleTV, I kept waiting to see when it would present the twist that would set it apart from every other story about a serial killer playing a cat and mouse game with a grizzled investigator. Unfortunately, that twist never materialized, and the series […]
Well, that was a fitting end to a truly muddled season of television. For all of the positive gains Ted Lasso made over the last several episodes – all of which pulled the focus from the host of returning characters (save for Roy and Keeley) and onto the new members of the Lady Greyhounds – […]
Well, I was kinda right about what would occur in this week’s Ted Lasso with regard to Anthony Head*, but was very wrong about just who is buying up shares – although I genuinely don’t think the “Zelda is making a play for Richmond” reveal is an earned twist at all. Outside of that bit […]
Well, that was the first episode from start to finish that felt like a classic Ted Lasso episode. And it’s curious that so much of the main action of the episode didn’t involve our titular character at all. Keeping the action confined within two main arcs* – the culmination of the Roy and Keeley will […]
Well, that was easily the best episode in weeks as the story started to focus a bit more on the team and less on the extracurricular actions of the legacy characters. We more or less solved the Keeley-Roy relationship drama without allowing the good doctor to be played for a fool*, Ted started to take […]
You may recall that I declared the fifth season of Slow Horses the best of the series’ run last year in my review. Well, I’m here to tell you that the sixth season was even more enjoyable for me – and I suspect, it will be for you as well. Incredibly, this season takes the […]
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 […]
