The Jetty Review
The Jetty is a female-centric police procedural starring and produced by Jenna Coleman. Ember Manning (Coleman) is a Detective Constable in a small town in Lancashire. The town is infamous for the disappearance of Amy Knightly 17 years prior. When Ember investigates an arson attack on the jetty it spirals into a case involving a pregnant […]
Doctor Who – Empire of Death Review
After the epic close of last week’s episode, I expected an equally epic conclusion to the story. Alas, what we got was a mixed bag from a storytelling perspective, with our heroes defeating the seemingly undefeatable villain with very little effort on the part of The Doctor. The Ruby reveal, while anti-climactic in the end, […]
Doctor Who – The Legend of Ruby Sunday Review
We’ve come to the close of this season of Doctor Who, which means that it’s time for Russell T. Davies to dive into the lingering mysteries of the season, hopefully offering explanations that make sense (and resonate on a deeper, character-driven level of storytelling). With part one of the two-part season finale, we get the […]
Doctor Who – Rogue Review
After last week’s emotional gut-punch of a final note (which we didn’t get any further commentary on this week, not that it was expected but it might have been a nice touch), this episode was much more in the vein of your traditional Doctor Who adventure – except much more queer than in past seasons […]
Doctor Who – Dot and Bubble Review
“What would happen if Doctor Who tried its hand at a Black Mirror episode,” seems like it could have easily been the pitch for “Dot and Bubble,” this week’s Who installment that certainly seemed to pull from the Black Mirror universe in its basic structure – including that gut-punch of a final sequence. And while […]

He performs every day with Fred (Rob Brydon), but when Fred is injured chasing a theft, he leaves Tabby McTat as a stray. Tabby McTat gets taken in by Sock […]
His Dark Materials – The Botanic Garden Review
His Dark Materials has come to a close, ending on a bittersweet note with “The Botanic Garden.” Lyra and Will have fled into the World of the Mulefas, searching for their dæmons. In this paradise, Lyra and Will come across an old friend, Mary. Lyra and Will finally get to act on their feelings for each […]
His Dark Materials – The Clouded Mountain Review
It is finally here, His Dark Materials is showing the final battle between the forces of good and evil with the episode “The Clouded Mountain.” Metatron has arrived with all his forces at the Republic of Heaven. Asriel and his numbers are outnumbered and the odds for victory seem remote. Asriel’s forces also need to find Lyra […]
His Dark Materials – The Abyss Review
“No Way Out” concluded on a dramatic note with Metatron activating The Magisterium’s bomb and promising to eradicate Dust. “The Abyss” had a lot to live up to. The bomb has exploded, creating a massive chasm in the Land of the Dead and outside of Asriel’s Republic. Lyra and Will continue to lead the dead […]
