Well, that’s a heck of a start to the show, no? From spending the pilot letting us get a feel for just who Carol was, laying out just how the Joining came to be, and exploring a bit of how this new world order has impacted half of our surviving “humans” in very different ways, […]
When Vince Gilligan (the creator of Breaking Bad and co-creator of Better Call Saul) announced that he would be creating a new series for AppleTV+ starring Rhea Seehorn (the beating heart of Better Call Saul), I was beyond excited. And now that the series is here – and now that I have seen seven of […]
As a big fan of AppleTV+’s Slow Horses, I was excited to learn that the streaming service was planning on adapting another Mick Herron book series. Unfortunately, despite two strong central performances from Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, Down Cemetery Road can’t quite live up to the high bar set by its Herron predecessor. It’s […]
I fancy myself a bit of a foodie. I’m from Chicago – a world class city when it comes to food – and I have been lucky enough to have eaten at Michelin starred restaurants around the world. I’ve also watched every season of Bravo’s Top Chef, making sure to visit the restaurants of contestants […]
If there’s one thing The Last Frontier, the new thriller from AppleTV+ has going for it, it’s its cast. Which is absolutely stacked, not just with actors you’ll remember from big budget films – Jason Clarke, Dominic Cooper, Alfre Woodard, Johnny Knoxville – but a host of faces that will be familiar to TV fans […]
It’s almost criminal just how good Slow Horses, the AppleTV+ spy series based on Mick Herron’s novels, is. Seriously.

Smoke, the new thriller from AppleTV+ is a strange series. Not in its subject matter, which is pretty straight forward and easy to follow. But in its writing, its characters, and in several of its leading performances, it was often hard to figure out if the show was trying to be a serious thriller or […]
If you’ve been lamenting that AppleTV+ doesn’t currently have a new comedy centered around a middle aged straight white man who refuses to deal with a personal trauma and instead tries to go out of his way to help those around him at the expense of his own mental health that stars a beloved (or […]
I had some very high hopes for Murderbot, AppleTV+’s adaptation of Martha Wells’ spectacular “The Murderbot Diaries” book series. Last summer, on the recommendation of my friend Alice, I started the first book in the series, “All Systems Red,” (which is the premise for this initial season of Murderbot). I burned through that book, and […]
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 […]
