Invincible Season Two (Part One) Review
The first season of Invincible, Prime Video’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman (who also created the animated series), Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley’s comic series of the same name, was a surprising success for the streaming service. Telling the tale of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), a high school senior with a superhero for a dad (that […]
Gen V Review
I’ll get this out of the way upfront: If you’re a big fan of The Boys, you’re going to enjoy Gen V. The new spin-off from Prime Video’s biggest hit takes a similar approach to the world of superheroes as its mothership series – these aren’t heroes we can look to for hope and protection […]
Football Documentary Round-Up
With Fall just around the corner, football season is once again upon us. And, with that comes several football-related documentaries hitting the various streaming services.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart Review

After all, the first season of the […]

The series premiered all the way back in March of 2021 – practically a lifetime ago in the world of television – and then nary a […]

The Horror of Delores Roach Review
Attend the tale of Delores Roach. In an unabashed riff on the class story of Sweeney Todd (unabashed in the sense that the series has a character compare the story to that of the Stephen Sondheim musical late in the first season), The Horror of Delores Roach isn’t all that original. However, in its leading […]
