A strong series finale can go a long way towards helping an audience forget about minor bumps and bruises a show provided through an uneven series run. But what it can’t do is take a beloved series that almost fully lost sight of everything that made it great in its final run of episodes and […]
The curious thing about friendships is that only the best, strongest, and most resilient of them last. As a person slides through the years, their friendships tend to fall away as one ages and grows, and only a select few manage to stay moored to a person as they traverse the seas of life. And […]
City on Fire, the new AppleTV+ series from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (both best known for The O.C. and Gossip Girl) and based on the novel of the same name from Garth Risk Hallberg, has a lot of DNA in common with those soapy primetime dramas. And, if you’re someone who enjoys a series […]
If you’ve seen any of the myriad of post-apocalyptic television shows, films, or read any of the books out there, you likely have a basic understanding of the various forces at work within Silo, the new dramatic thriller from AppleTV+, adapted from the series of novels under the same name from Hugh Howey.

It’s been awhile since television audiences have had a chance to see all that Jennifer Garner is capable of – it’s been a whopping 17 years since Alias, the ABC spy drama that launched Garner’s career went off the air. The Last Thing He Told Me, the AppleTV+ miniseries based on the novel of the […]

Extrapolations, the new anthology drama set to debut on AppleTV+ this Friday, is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. And, even for people who can laud its big narrative swings, I suspect it will struggle to find an audience throughout its eight episode running time. That’s not a dig at the performances, the […]
I suspect there’s little, if anything, I or any other critic could write about the third (and possibly final?) season of Ted Lasso that could either dissuade someone or convince someone to watch the series at this point. At this stage in the game, you’ve either been thoroughly charmed by the fish out of water […]
There’s a cool idea at the center of the new AppleTV+ international spy thriller Liaison: two Syrian hackers discover information that could destroy an evil corporation with deep international governmental ties and desperately need the help of European spy associations to get them to safety. Luckily for them, two of the people on the case […]
