After watching “Chapter One,” the series premiere of The Madalorian (aka the one thing on Disney+ that millions of people were waiting to watch), I decided I should wait until I’d watched at least the series’ second episode (which was officially titled “Chapter Two,” but also used the title “The Child” within the episode) before […]
Remember when Game of Thrones went off the air back in May and everyone wondered if HBO would ever have another hit show that captured the cultural zeitgeist? Well, who would have thought it would only take them a few months to clean-up once again? For those of us who fell in love (or fell […]
A chill is in the air (at least in the Midwest and New England – sorry rest of the country) and fall is just around the corner. Which means it’s once again time for the Emmy Awards – a night for the television folks to pat themselves on the back for another year of way […]
I’ve been writing about television for the past six years, and for much of that time, Emmy Nomination day was my second least-favorite day of the year (the Emmy Awards themselves were my least-favorite day, for a variety of reasons).

Note: This review contains spoilers for the entire first season of Gentleman Jack. If you haven’t watched the entire season, please read the review once you have.

So, Game of Thrones is about to end and you still have your HBO subscription for the rest of the month and want to make the most of it? Or, you’ve opted to wait it out until Big Little Lies returns later this summer, and you’re looking for something to tide you over until then? […]
Let’s get this out of the way right now: That was not a good episode of television. It certainly wasn’t a good penultimate episode of a series. And it definitely wasn’t a good penultimate episode of television for a series that has spent so many years toiling in the minutia of character development and palace […]
Well, I guess Missandei and Grey Worm won’t be getting that beach front property after all (too soon?). There’s a general problem that arises as a series that is as plot heavy as Game of Thrones approaches its end game: characters and story arcs become rigidly stuck along a particular path to get to the […]
