A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the third and final season of the series will be based. So, these reviews will […]
One of the very many things that I love about Hacks is how Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky (and the rest of their writers) seemingly write themselves into a corner in every season finale only to find a new way to get Ava and Deborah back on track the following season. Because, […]
I’m a bit late to the game on The Pitt, the new HBOMax medical drama that combines the storytelling structure of 24 with the complex, fast-paced world of the emergency department – the first of many connections the series has to the long-running NBC medical drama ER. We join the medical professionals of the Pitt […]
Usually when I sit down to write up my annual Top Ten List, I have a host of shows that I struggle to whittle down. This time around, however, while I had a decent sized list of shows to choose from, the culling process felt significantly easier than in years past because there just weren’t […]
I will openly admit that I’m in denial when it comes to the fact that the upcoming third season of HBO’s exceptional dramedy Somebody Somewhere will be its final one. Where is the justice in the television world where a series this rich, this funny, this emotionally satisfying can’t run in perpetuity? I cannot think […]
As someone who never got around to watching Matt Reeves 2022 take on the caped crusader The Batman (you know, the one with Robert Pattinson taking on the titular role in a darker, less polished version of the character), I was worried that I would be a tad lost when I sat down to sample […]
Tell me you blew your budget before getting to your season finale without telling me you blew your budget. Woof. After a season of managing to right the ship and get House of the Dragon onto a pretty darn solid storytelling path, we were gifted a season finale that – for the most part – […]
On this week’s installment of How to Claim Your Dragon . . . err, I mean House of the Dragon, we were granted the long-awaited Dragonseed claiming competition, which saw two new dragon riders emerge from a fiery scene that also saw the demise of a host of Targaryen bastards. We were also treated to […]
When I first heard about Fantasmas, the new super queer surrealist HBO comedy series from Julio Torres, I wasn’t quite sure what to think about it. I was someone who had missed the boat on Torres’ previous HBO series, Los Espookys, so I wasn’t sure if this series would be for me. But boy, was […]
There have been two background storylines this season that have felt rather clunky in their lead up, but both finally started to pay dividends this week – just in time for each to heavily factor into the anticipated season endgame (which I won’t spoil, don’t worry, but if you’re a book reader, I suspect you’ve […]
