Sausage Party: Foodtopia- Season 1

Eight years after the film, Seth Rogen has assembled as many of the celebrities who would be willing to do this as possible. Four. He got four voice actors to return. And he saved money by really just paying Will Forte and Sam Richardson, and then relying heavily on unknown voice talent to fill in the rest. This show asks important questions like… what happened next? The answer is simple. Food killed all humans. I mean, in some ways, that is a commentary on highly processed food, but in the first episode, they tackle rain. They killed all humans and … Continue reading Sausage Party: Foodtopia- Season 1

That 90’s Show: Season 2, Part A

Talk about a threat. Part A? You mean I just sat through ten more episodes of something no one really needed. I talked about this also in my YouTube review where I question why we are doing a 90’s Show. The original originally started in 1998, running for 8 seasons. they did try a spinoff, That 80’s Show, which ran one season. So, That 90’s Show started in 2022, at the beginning of a decade. But, the audience that started watching this show lived in the 90’s, and featured a lot of teenagers who related with the teenage cast. These … Continue reading That 90’s Show: Season 2, Part A

My Lady Jane: Season 1

I was sad that The Great was cancelled by Hulu without being given the opportunity to finish out its story. I was aware that the 4th season really should be its last, as the lack of Nicholas Hoult would have made it hard to do much more than a season to wrap up storylines, but instead we got three seasons and no ending. In comes My Lady Jane, with much of the same style of revisionist humor, delightful ensemble, and its own voice to help highlight the relevance of a historical footnote in Lady Jane Grey. While The Great certainly … Continue reading My Lady Jane: Season 1

Supacell: Season 1

I binged this thing so you don’t have to. Not that you shouldn’t, necessarily, but perhaps it will be more of a thing for you than it was for me. I already posted a video review, and I thought I had a pretty good grasp of the show. Supacell takes place in England, in what seems to be a sketchy neighborhood where gangs exist. The iMDB listing for this supports what I swear I picked up from the audio description, and that was that the five leads are all black. It’s in the plot summary for the show, that a … Continue reading Supacell: Season 1

Moon Knight (Pilot)

Starring: Oscar Issac and Ethan Hawke. Where I Watched It: Disney Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: Steven (Issac) works at a museum. This is also the Marvel introduction to Moon Knight. So, trying to explain this to you would involve spoilers. But, yes, Steven works at a museum. What Works: I know the critics have been getting screener access to the first four episodes, but I like to review pilots, because you’re never guaranteed an audience will come back for more if the pilot doesn’t work. So it really doesn’t matter if the show picks up in … Continue reading Moon Knight (Pilot)

Halo (Pilot)

Starring: Pablo Schrieber, Yarin Ha, Natasha McEllhonne, Bokeem Woodbine, and Ryan McPartlin. Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes Description Provided By: Descriptive Video Works The Plot: It’s Halo. I know that doesn’t mean much for people unfamiliar with the franchise, but for those who are, it’s Halo. For those who aren’t, this takes place way in the future, and we are introduced to a group of colonists who start dropping some exposition about Marines, Spartans, and some more Halo mythology before an alien race drops in and starts massacring people. Then, we finally get to … Continue reading Halo (Pilot)

Promised Land (Pilot)

Starring: John Ortiz (and I suppose Bellamy Young?) Where I Watched it: Hulu (though it originally airs on ABC) English Audio Description Available? So far, yes. The Plot: Centers around a Latinx family that owns a winery, and has done rather well for themselves… but dark secrets abound. What Works: So, there’s a natural desire to jump up and down about John Ortiz finally getting to lead his own…something. He’s worked so hard in supporting character roles for years, I want this to work for him. I’m also a fan of Bellamy Young. I’m not familiar with the rest of … Continue reading Promised Land (Pilot)

Good Sam (Pilot)

Starring: Sophia Bush and Jason Issacs. Where I Watched It: Paramount plus (though it airs on CBS) English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: The Good Sam in this question is a doctor (Bush) who works at the same hospital as her father (Issacs), who is the Chief of Surgery, and the two have a contentious relationship. He’s a brilliant doctor, but she believes she is as well, and he just doesn’t see that. She’s about to leave when (this is not a spoiler) her dad is shot and lands in a coma. While he’s in a coma, she becomes … Continue reading Good Sam (Pilot)

The Cleaning Lady (Pilot)

Starring: Eloise young, Adan Canto, and Oliver Hudson? Where I Watched it: Hulu (though it airs on Fox) English Audio Description Available?: No. The plot: A doctor (Yung) who is here illegally to get her son a special kind of medical treatment works crappy jobs, not as a doctor, until a version of the mob needs her to become…The Cleaning Lady. What Works; Eloise Yung deserves to breakout as a star, and despite this show being something destined for cancellation, I hope Hollywood doesn’t give up on her. I’d love to see her back with Marvel. What Doesn’t Work: It’s … Continue reading The Cleaning Lady (Pilot)
