I’m going to be very honest here: I hated watching The Testaments. It’s not that it’s not an expertly crafted series, it is – the writing is good (if a bit on the nose), the acting is stellar (especially the core group of young women at its center), and the design of the show is […]
When I saw the cast list for Imperfect Women, the new thriller from AppleTV+ based on the novel of the same name, I was excited to see just what it was about. Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Joel Kinnaman, Leslie Odom, Jr. What a group of excellent actors. And then I watched […]
Shining Girls, a psychological thriller coming to AppleTV+ that is based on the novel by the same name, is a curious television series. After watching the entire eight episode first season provided for critics, I know I enjoyed what I saw, but I also have far more questions than answers – and I’m at a […]
It’s that time of year again: We’re heading back to Gilead to see just what incredible events will occur that prevents June and her fellow handmaids from escaping the clutches of Gilead (and the series from forcing the narrative forward).

I know I said I was jumping off the Handmaid’s Tale train after the show was unable to craft a coherent story outside the confines of Margaret Atwood’s novel in season two, but Hulu generously continued to provide me with screeners for season three, so I decided to see if the show could right the […]
Jordan Peele made a real impact with his directional debut Get Out, a film that is a part of the current horror renaissance. His follow-up film was highly anticipated and has already been praised by critics. Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o) is a woman who suffered from a traumatic event when she was a child. Her past comes back […]
A few weeks ago, a question was posed to TV critics on Twitter: What are the Top 10 best streaming shows, not counting international shows that air in the US on streaming sites? A smattering of critics discussed what they would pick, and the choices included several common shows, but, for the most part, were […]
It’s that time of year again: the leaves are changing color, the slate of Fall network television shows are mere days from premiering, and the Emmy Awards are this Sunday on NBC. While I say this every year, awards don’t mean a show is necessarily good. But, when we look back on yesteryear, the list […]
