After the highs of “The Eye,” it would have been easy for Andor to take a beat, allow its characters to collect themselves, and take a week off before delving into the next great set piece of the series. So, it says a lot about the series that “Announcement” felt almost as tense as the […]

She-Hulk – Whose Show is This? Review
Well, I’ll say one thing: It’s hard to write a review of a television series when the writers essentially craft a finale that says, “We’ve heard your past complaints, anticipated your current worries, and course corrected to make them all moot.” Because that’s essentially what “Whose Show is This?”, the first season finale of She-Hulk […]
Andor – The Eye Review
It’s truly something that a series, centered around a character we all know will be making it out alive and well, can create such a deep feeling of suspense that it has you on the edge of your seat during a heist like this one. But Andor pulled it off – completely – making us […]
Andor – The Axe Forgets Review
Well, my new favorite Andor character might just be Syril’s meddling mother Eedy (the great Kathryn Hunter), who in just a couple of scenes has added not only a layer of humor to the tense proceedings of the series, but also enough character shading to Syril to make him more than the two-dimensional baddie the […]
She-Hulk – The Retreat Review
And there it is. The MCU connection (outside of, you know, the obvious green cousin and giant green client) for She-Hulk. Now, that’s not to say that there weren’t some fun, comedic moments within “The Retreat” – because there absolutely were – but with only two episodes remaining (and a promised Daredevil appearance still to […]
Andor – Aldhani Review
This week’s episode of Andor moved the action away from Ferrix and to Aldhani – a planent with not much going for it except for an Imperial base that is perfectly set-up to be raided by some rebellion assets with the help of our boy Cassian – and Coruscant – where we get introduced to […]
Andor – Episodes 1-3 Review
In the interest of honest reviewing, I feel that I should start this review of Andor off with the statement that I wasn’t a fan of Rogue One. I certainly didn’t hate it – I appreciated that the story was allowed to go to darker places than most Star Wars properties and I really liked […]
She-Hulk – Mean, Green, and Straight Poured into These Jeans Review
This week’s installment of She-Hulk didn’t really move the dial in terms of storytelling all that much – yes, we resolved the Titania trademark lawsuit quickly and with only minimal bruising to Jen’s ego – but it was a necessary step in terms of providing a look into several of the show’s supporting characters as […]
She-Hulk: Is This Not Real Magic?
The best part of this week’s She-Hulk? It felt like a normal, individual episode of a series and not like an MCU stepping stone leading to the next big thing in the universe – even if it did manage to spoil The Sopranos for those of us who haven’t quite gotten around to watching it […]
She-Hulk – The People vs. Emil Blonsky Review
When it comes to new television series – especially those that deviate from the norm of what we see day in and day out – it often takes a couple of episodes for the show to teach the audience how to watch it. What I mean is, with something like She-Hulk, another cog in the […]
