In the pilot of Game of Thrones, Ned Stark teaches Jon, Robb, and Theon a crucial lesson that resonates throughout the rest of the series: He who passes sentence should swing the sword. It might not be the exact lesson Daemon was attempting to teach Rhaenyra as she prepared to ascend to the Iron Throne, […]
After a very long two year wait, we’re back with season three of House of the Dragon. And what a perfectly okay season premiere it was. We got the much-anticipated Battle of the Gullet – an event many fans of the book expected in season two, but budget constraints pushed to this season opener. And […]
I write about a lot of television. And that usually means I watch a series before it airs, compile my thoughts in a review, and then move onto the next show. It’s rare I get to savor a series or watch it like everyone else – even when I’m churning out episode reviews. That’s part […]
A key tenet of showbiz is to leave them wanting more, and I’m happy to report that Hacks does just that with its fifth and final season. After four seasons of watching the constant push and pull between Deborah Vance (the sensational Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder, who has matured into a true […]
Lisa Kudrow is extraordinary. That’s what I kept telling myself as I watched season three of The Comeback. She’s just extraordinary.

It took more than half of the season to finally hear the Game of Thrones theme in all its glory, but boy was that the perfect moment to bring it out. After three episodes that were much lighter in subject, the fourth installment of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms took things to a much […]
Kudos to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for not holding onto Egg’s true identity for as long as humanly possible. I know that there are folks out there who managed to stay spoiler-free as to just who this tiny squire might turn out to be (even though the series was pretty heavy-handed, especially in […]
The interesting thing about a show like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is that it isn’t concerned with an ever-longer list of characters. We have our two central characters – Dunk and Egg – and then the rest of the folks at the tourney. Now, some of those folk – including the ones we […]
Note: This review contains spoilers for season one of Heated Rivalry. I have to state up front that I am decidedly not the target audience for Heated Rivalry. While I love to support LGBTQ+ representation on television (as a member of the lesbian section of that acronym), a gay hockey romance is not something I […]
