The Testaments: Season 1

When I first caught wind of The Testaments, it was a bag of mixed emotions. Part of me was excited that The Handmaid’s Tale would continue in some form, but the other part knew it couldn’t possibly hope to live up to the original. Then I got to the series finale of The Handmaid’s Tale, where they had the audacity not to reunite June with Hannah, and suddenly this sequel series became less of an option and more of a necessity. What a casting boon it turned out to be when someone picked Chase Infinity to play Agnes MacKenzie, aka … Continue reading The Testaments: Season 1

All’s Fiar: Season 1

I am legitimately considering casting a ballot in supporting actress for Sarah Paulson for All’s Fair. Then I realized, I never formally reviewed the series, and that taken totally out of context makes no sense if you’ve seen the show. Watching All’s Fair is like watching a kid eat play-doh, or your neighbor doing yoga naked in their front yard. It is one of those baffling experiences that you never truly thought would cross your path. You’d heard of such things, imagined them, but to truly see a show in all its glory be this bad, is something truly wonderful … Continue reading All’s Fiar: Season 1

The Boys: Season 5

I’m still salty about the abrupt cancellation of Gen-V, especially since the characters are given an opportunity to breeze through the last two episodes of the season,and do basically nothing.The plots don’t even converge. The grooming of Marie to become this next level superhero never pays off.The final two episodes of The Boys solidifies that Amazon cancelled Gen V independently of the actual finale, and its implications, because that door is left wide open. It isn’t like the finale prohibits a third season of Gen-V, quite the opposite. Considering how VOT is left at the end of the series, it’s … Continue reading The Boys: Season 5

The Pitt: Season 2

It’s odd how much The Pitt has grown on me, because when I first started watching the series in Season 1, I gave up after the first three episodes. At the time, it just felt basic. Another medical drama with doctors yelling things at each other while patients rolled through the ER. I didn’t really understand what made it stand out, and honestly, I wasn’t entirely convinced it did. But then I jumped back in, pushed deeper into the season, and finally understood what the show was doing. The Pitt has this interesting habit of lulling viewers into a false … Continue reading The Pitt: Season 2

One Piece: Season 2

Netflix somehow made One Piece work. That still feels a little surprising to me, mostly because anime adaptations have a pretty rough history when they try to jump into live action. Cowboy Bebop didn’t survive. Plenty of others never really figure out how to balance the tone, the weirdness, or the larger-than-life worlds they come from. But One Piece figured it out in Season 1 by leaning directly into the absurdity instead of trying to make everything darker or more grounded. Season 2 continues the journey of Luffy and the Straw Hats as they travel from island to island searching … Continue reading One Piece: Season 2

Lord Of The Flies (2026)

William Golding’s Lord Of The Flies has always had this reputation as one of those books teachers hand kids when they want to quietly destroy whatever joy they still have left in English class. I read it in the 8th grade, which was a very long time ago (don’t ask), and I remember liking Flowers For Algernon, which I had to read in the same grade, a whole lot more. That one wrecked me emotionally. Lord Of The Flies mostly just made me uncomfortable, which I guess means Golding did his job. For anyone who somehow skipped it, the story … Continue reading Lord Of The Flies (2026)

DTF: St. Louis: Season 1

If you don’t know what this is, DTF St Louis is one of those titles that makes you think HBO is getting into the NCIS: City Name or CSI: Wherever, but after sitting through the first season, I think most other cities won’t jump at the chance to be a series expansion should this want to become a new White Lotus for HBO. Boise? Denver? Jacksonville? I have a feeling they won’t be “Down To Film” (and yes, I know what DTF stands for). The series, starring Jason Bateman, David Harbour, Linda Cardellini, and Richard Jenkins, spends seven episodes trying … Continue reading DTF: St. Louis: Season 1

Landman: Season 2

Taylor Sheridan is running awfully close to oversaturation that has killed Ryan Murphy and Tyler Perry, and as an even hotter take, Dick Wolf. These mega-producers ahve too many irons in the fire, and Sheridan has basically kept Paramount Plus alive single handedly. It is baffling that Paramount let his contract expire, so he could sign with universal. I can’t even fathom what their service would look like without Landman, Tulsa King, Mayor Of Kings Town, Lioness, The Madison, and the multitude of Yellowstone spinoffs. Paramount owes more to Taylor Sheridan right now than they do their own controversial CEO. … Continue reading Landman: Season 2

Beef: Season 2

Arby’s may have the meats, but Netflix has the Beef. The first season helped put director Jake Schrier on the map to direct Thunderbolts, and now the upcoming X-Men reboot for Marvel. Series creator Lee Sung Jin is also working on the upcoming X-Men film, having created Beef following a lengthy career in TV on shows like Its Always Sunny and Undone. The first season of Beef was unexpected, taking a simple bad day interaction, and showing how that moment would irrevocably change lives forever. The evolution of the first season was really putting its leads through the wringer. People … Continue reading Beef: Season 2

Pluribus: Season 1

Apple seems to know how to get me obsessed in these science fiction dramas they keep pushing out. I’m very much in love with Silo, a big fan of For All Mankind, anticipating more Severance, and can’t wait for Season 2 of dark Matter in August. I guess I can add Pluribus to that mix, because as with seemingly all things Vince Gilligan, I’m hooked. Pluribus follows the idea that at some point, an alien species invaded our planet, but we didn’t notice. Somehow, they managed to infect us all, and on “joining day” they activated their hive mind mentality … Continue reading Pluribus: Season 1

welcome To Dairy: Season 1

Disclaimer: I’m a blind film critic. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of man? Dairy: Population… declining. Andy Muschitti really hit Gold with his remake of It in 2017 and the sequel just two years later. Taking the whole book and splitting it into two chapters, plus casting some wonderfully talented new kids, really paid off for him. As you know, nothing in Dairy ever really stays dead, so warner Bros eventually wanted more of this series, and a prequel was born. It’s a dangerous thing to go back before the thing you created, because it is like … Continue reading welcome To Dairy: Season 1
