Like many women who grew up in the late 80s/early 90s, Ann M. Martin’s “The Baby-Sitters Club” book series holds a special place in my heart. I remember taking the books out of the local library as a kid (starting with the “Baby-Sitters Little Sister” series that followed Kristy’s step-sister Karen and then “graduating” to […]

Space Force (Spoiler-Free) Review
The Office and Parks and Recreation are routinely heralded as two of the best comedies of the 21st century (and both are often mentioned on “Best of” lists that encompass a more significant period of time). But what fans of both shows will be quick to mention is that they became beloved in spite of […]
The Last Kingdom Season Four Review
The fourth season of The Last Kingdom is the biggest season yet and sees more conflict between the Saxons and Danes and within the Saxon kingdoms. Years after the events of Season Three the peace between the Saxons and the Danes is about to break. The Danes led by Cnut (Magnus Bruun) have amassed a large army […]
Trashy Netflix Shows to Dive Into This Week
Confession: I meant to write this article last year, right after the premiere of Dead to Me in 2019. But life in the Time Before was hectic and it never got written. However, now with seemingly unlimited time on our hands, the time has come to sing the praises of my two favorite trashy Netflix […]
The Coronavirus’s Impact on the Film and TV Industries
The Coronavirus has affected all aspects of life and led to Lockdowns around the globe. The film and TV industries were no different and there will be an impact on the short and medium-term, at least. The Pandemic and Lockdown will affect both the releasing and production of film and TV. The immediate effect has […]
Unorthodox (Spoiler-Free) Review
On its face, Unorthodox seems like a pretty typical story: A young woman realizes that the life she’s been living – the one she’s been convinced her is what she wants – isn’t the life she wants to lead, so she escapes that life and goes in search of a place where she can truly […]
Schitt’s Creek: A Look Back at Canada’s Greatest (Recent) Export
Last night, TV lost another one of its brilliant, loving, kind, and smart comedies, as Schitt’s Creek, the Canadian series with a heart of polished gold, aired its final episode. While the series ran for six seasons, those of us here in the States were a bit slow on the uptake, only truly embracing the […]
Tiger King Review
In this age of isolation and quarantine, nothing captures the international zeitgeist like a crazy, ripped from the headlines, true story. After all, if we’re all stuck at home, why wouldn’t the world want to dive into something as flat-out insane as Tiger King, the Netflix limited docudrama series that dropped last week. Unlike most […]
Queen Sono (Spoiler-Free) Review
If you’ve ever felt nostalgic for Alias, the early 2000s ABC spy drama that launched Jennifer Garner’s career, Queen Sono is definitely a show for you. With a first season clocking in at a very manageable six episodes (all of which run under an hour, with some even closer to 30 minutes), the first ever […]
Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season Two (Spoiler-Free) Review
I have never watched a single Formula 1 race. In truth, I’ve never watched any auto racing at all. It’s just not how I would choose to spend my time. Which makes it all the more surprising that I absolutely loved the Netflix documentary series Formula 1: Drive to Survive. I burned through the first […]
