Superman & Lois
Reactions: Wow. Wowowowowowow // Review: I started watching this series years ago and loved Tyler Hoechlin as Superman (I may like him more as Supes than even David Corenswet, but it’s probably a tie). Years ago I finished the first two seasons and was totally vibing with the premise: Superman and Lois are married and…

House of Guinness
Reactions: Yeah, I dig it. There’d better be a second season // Review: I was vaguely aware of the existence of House of Guinness. I hadn’t decided if I was going to watch it until my mom texted me: “I started watching House of Guinness. I’m hooked! Omg! The character has a big d**k! Full…

Lazarus
Reactions: Compelling and fun, provocative // Review: I love animated shows but I’ve never been a huge fan of the traditional anime narrative or animation style. Lazarus is a nice evolution of both the traditional visual and storytelling style, while not totally departing from either. I really enjoyed this show, especially the “main character” Axel…

Haunted Hotel
Reactions: Super cute, a fresh and fun take on ghosts Review:// I didn’t know what to expect when I first pressed play on this series. But I was quickly and pleasantly surprised. Here’s the gist: Katherine inherited a haunted hotel full of ghosts when her brother passed away. The twist is her brother is one…

Wednesday S2
Reactions: Just as cute as the first season // Review: If you enjoyed the first season of Wednesday, you’ll enjoy the second. Which is to say, it’s largely the same formula. Wednesday has to solve a mystery, which is wrapped inside another mystery, surrounded by a few other ancillary mysteries.

English Teacher S2
Reactions: Cute and fun, but a more of the same from S1 // Review: I like this show and I enjoyed this season. I binged all 10 episodes on Sunday. There are some legitimately hilarious one liners and gags. My only criticism (and it’s a mild criticism), is that it was a lot more of…

Foundation S3
Reactions: Wowowowowowowow // Review: Season after season, this show has not failed to impress. The character arcs, the galactic battles, the Mule, Brother Day and Brother Dusk, Lady Demerzel, Gaal, all every single aspect was amazing. And the last two episodes were riveting.

Star Trek: Strange New World S3
Reactions: Ummm it was fine // Review: This will be a short review because I don’t have that much to say. The season was perfectly fine. But, it follows two killer seasons that wowed. There were a few standout episodes that hit some great notes and dialed up connections to canon. The acting is stellar.…

Alien: Earth
Reactions: A slow build, but great characters and story // Reactions: This is the review that anyone who knows me would NOT expect in a million years. I don’t watch scary movies or tv shows by myself, or really much at all. But I watched the first two episodes of Alien: Earth while on vacation…
-
Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld
Reactions: Super cute! A fresh take on demon hunting // Review: I wasn’t really sure I wanted to give Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld a try, but I’m glad I did. The first episode took some getting used to, probably because I was expecting something more like KPop Demon Hunters. But this show if very…
-
Dead Boy Detectives
Reactions: Fucking adorable // Review: This was a rewatch for me because I love this show. I love how beautifully it weaves a story of best friends, strong magical women, old gods, an evil witch, a coming out story, young gay love, rejection, and more. And it ends with the group of friends being even…
-
Sandman S2
Reactions: Obsessed // Review: First, let me just state that the two seasons of The Sandman series are some of my favorite tv of all time. The tone, the mini-arcs, the struggle as an Endless grapples with evolving and his end, all of it. It all just works so much for me.
-
Dept. Q
Reactions: Obsessed. Hooked. Binged it. // Review: If you love true crime podcasts or cold case dramas, you’ll love Dept. Q. While it’s not inspired by a true crime, its story does unfold the way a true crime podcast would. It’s set in Edinbrugh, Scotland which gives it such a rich and unique tenor. And…
-
Hacks S4
Reactions: This show just keeps on getting better // Review: I didn’t watch Hacks Season 4 right away. Honestly, I wasn’t convinced they could pull off a fourth season of fresh, funny content and storyline. But damn, was I wrong. I’d go so far as to say this was my favorite season yet.
-
Adults
Reactions: LOL Funny, Gen Z version of Friends // Review: I had no expectations when I started the pilot episode of Adults. I’d never heard of it, and it’s pretty new. But I saw three familiar faces (Owen Thiel recently from Overcompensating, Amita Rao from Deli Boys, and Jack Innanen from TikTok sketches – more…

Mythic Quest
Reactions: Clever, Fresh, LOL every episode// Review: My first thought after watching the pilot episode of Mythic Quest a few weeks ago was: HOW did Apple’s algorithm take this long to suggest this show to me? Their UI is so so so bad. My second thought: WOW.
-
Overcompensating
Reactions: Gay comedy the way it should be done! // Review: You may be looking at Benito Skinner’s face and thinking, “Where do I know that guy?” Yes, it’s the hilarious TikTok sketch guy. And guess what? Overcompensating, a tv show that he wrote, directed and produced, is every bit as funny as his sketches.…
-
Andor S1 & S2
Reactions: Ups and downs, overall enjoyable // Review: Season 1 of Andor felt like 3 tv shows in one. Every few episodes an entirely different adventure unfolded. Like, suddenly Cassian Andor spends three episodes in a prison. Uh, why? Season 2 started off that way too. During the first two episodes Cassian is captured by…
-
Big Boys
Reactions: Absolutely perfect, I laughed, I cried, I loved it. // Review: Big Boys is one of the best shows I’ve watched in years. It’s absolutely perfect and hits all the right notes – high notes, silly notes, deep notes, dark notes – just as effortlessly and beautifully as Somebody Somewhere. The three season were…
-
Pantheon
Reactions: So fucking cool, complex // Review: This is some super deep, complex, badass sci-fi. I love when an amazing sci-fi concept comes to life in animation because it is unfettered by things like visual effects budgets. Pantheon goes there. Then goes beyond. It’s amazing. But it’s also very complicated sci-fi, not for beginners.
