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. In short, you will almost certainly find yourself swept away by this story of a young woman who […]
After watching the first three episode of Mr. Corman, the new AppleTV+ series created by and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I was ready to write up a complete pan of the series. I hated it and couldn’t find anything remotely redeemable in the show. But, having watched the seven additional episodes of the first season, I […]
For anyone worried about a sophomore slump, fear not – season two of Ted Lasso is just as charming, kind, funny, and moving as season one. In fact, I loved the three episodes provided to critics* so much that I have watched them three times each as I impatiently wait for the July 23rd premiere […]

I mean, come on, three of those actors in a show would be incredible, but all of them? It’s an embarrassment of riches! And each one is acting […]
The Me You Can’t See is an ambitious and emotional documentary series from Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and Oprah Winfrey. Ambitious because it aims to tackle the stigma around seeking help for mental health struggles by asking a range of individuals – from their fellow celebrities and elite athletes to average folks – […]
Just over a week ago, my Twitter feed blew up with TV critics praising the second season finale of the AppleTV+ series For All Mankind. I’ll admit that when I saw the series pop-up in my screener queue in 2019, I assumed it was some type of documentary on the space program and I didn’t […]
