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). Ok, that might sound a bit harsh – and there is, in fact, some forward […]
2020 is finally on its way out (and not a moment too soon for anyone), which means it’s time for that time honored holiday tradition: Critics’ Top Ten Lists! As we all spent more time on our sofas watching TV this year than any of us thought we would, I suspect many of you will […]
Hollyoaks is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. Being such a long-running soap opera there has been a high turnover of actors. Many have gone on to have successful acting careers. Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill became The Thirteenth Doctor’s companions, Wallis Day appeared in shows like The Royals and Krypton, and Carley Stenson is a musical […]
If you were in Middle School during the late 90s/early 2000s, I suspect you have already heard of Hulu’s spectacular coming of age comedy Pen15 (and if not, well, watch it).

This Sunday, September 20th, marks the 72nd Emmy Awards (airing on ABC at 8:00PM ET/7:00PM CT).

We are living in a golden age of TV thanks to the streaming revolution. Showrunners and directors have been given more creative freedom and there has been a constant flow of new shows. Yet the rise of streaming has been so fast that it leads to the fears that we are on the edge of […]
Back in the winter of 2015, I went with a group of friends to see a mockumentary film from a couple of guys from New Zealand about vampires. While several of my friends were already fans of Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi (years before Waititi would snag an Oscar and become a celebrated MCU director) […]
Love, Victor, a sequel of sorts to the gay teen rom-com Love, Simon, had a winding road to its upcoming premiere on Hulu. Originally planned as a Disney+ original series, the streaming network got scared earlier this year and announced (after some additional time in cancellation limbo) that the series would be moved to Hulu […]
An interesting shift has happened over the last couple of months in the streaming war between Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, and AppleTV+: Hulu has surged ahead in the race to develop the best original content. Yes, a large part of that surge has come from taking on the FX on Hulu imprint (which has also […]
