With WeCrashed, AppleTV+ joins the trend of offering up a miniseries based on horrible people who had tons of power and managed to ruin other’s lives. In this case, the horrible, entitled people are Adam and Rebekah Neumann (played here by Oscar winners Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway), the co-founder of WeWork and his wife […]
Do you ever feel like there are two of you – the professional you at work and the more “real” you in your home life? That’s the central crux of Severance, the smart new thriller from AppleTV+ – only in this case, there really are two versions of several main characters. You see, Lumon Industries […]
At first glance, The Afterparty appears to be a murder mystery disguised as a chance to let a murderer’s row of comedic talents work together. And, really, it might also be that. But what you’ll find out if you keep watching this quirky and really funny comedy series is that it’s a heck of a […]

Spoiler Alert: This article discusses the second season of Ted Lasso, including events that occurred in the season finale. If you have not watched all of season two, please do so before continuing. Well, that was quite the ride, wasn’t it? And before I dive into this post-mortem on what worked and what was decidedly […]
In a post-Game of Thrones world, every major network and streaming site has made a play for their own piece of beloved IP. HBO is continuing its Thrones universe with a prequel series. Amazon spent a ridiculous sum of money to buy the rights to the remaining Lord of the Rings stories. Netflix is sitting […]
I’ll admit up front that I wasn’t a huge fan of season one of The Morning Show. While I enjoyed elements of the series – particularly the work of Steve Carrell as Mitch Kessler, who managed to make you not immediately turn against his odious character, even as it became clear that he was every […]
CODA is a formulaic and syrupy sweet film. It’s also perfectly designed to be a crowd pleaser – and it’s nearly impossible to not become charmed by its wonderful cast and the familiar path of its story.
