Deli Boys
Reactions: Hilarious, fun, LOL // Review: There was a point where everything I was watching was so dark and horrific, that I needed a light-hearted, 25-minute pick-me-up before I went to bed each night. Which led me to stumble on Deli Boys, which fit the bill perfectly.

Devil May Cry
Reactions: Hell yeah. Binge-worthy // Review: Netflix has been on a roll adapting video games to animated television shows. Notably: Arcane, Castlevania, Dota, Dragon Age, and Captain Laswerhawk. I loved Devil May Cry just as much as I loved these other titles too.

Daredevil: Born Again
Reactions: Hell yes (See what I did there?!) // Review: I’ll be frank: I really did not like the first season of Daredevil from 2015. At all. So it was with mixed feelings that I pressed play on the first episode of Daredevil: Born Again. Holy wow. This is an entirely different show.

Trap
Reactions: Thrilling, edge of my seat // Review: There’s not a lot I can say about this movie without spoiling it. But here goes. Trap is exhilarating and it kept my heart pounding out of my chest for 1.5 hours.

Wheel of Time S3
Reactions: I meeaaannn, it was fine. // Review: I know they’re following the storylines from each of the books. But if that’s true, this book would have been a snooze fest.
-
White Lotus S3
Reactions: Dark and twisted, Beautiful // Review: I rarely do this but: SPOILERS AHEAD. Stop reading this review if you have not finished Season 3 of White Lotus. The main complaint I heard from all my friends when season 3 started was, “it’s so slow.” Dude. That’s literally how every season of this show works.…

Reacher Season 3
Reactions: Meh, Isokay // Review: Everyone knows there’s only one reason to watch Reacher: Alan Ritchson naked. And we get a few glimpse of his giant mounds of muscle in this season. Given how flat the story was, I think they could’ve dropped a few more gratuitous skin shots in throughout the season to make…

Invincible Season 3
Reactions: I think I liked it, Too much wanton death // Review: Look, I’ve liked Invincible since I first read the comics upon their release all those years ago. And I’ve liked the show mostly. This season felt a little… odd.
-
Adolescence
Reactions: WHOA, Moving, Gripping // Review: The show starts a deep, difficult conversation about teen boys in crisis. The Andrew Tate “manosphere” directly and indirectly plays a prominent role in the motivation of Jamie, the main character, who has been accused of a heinous crime. There are parts of the four episodes that are incredibly…
-
What We Do In The Shadows
Reactions: Amazing, LOL, Comedy Done Right // Review: I loved every single minute of every episode of all six season of What We Do In The Shadows. Years ago, I’d tried watching the movie and wasn’t wowed. But someone a few months ago assured me that the TV show was so much better.
-
Prime Target
Reactions: Smart, nerdy // Review: Prime Target is spy thriller that centers around a nerd studying maths at Cambridge (Leo Woodall – remember his sexy face from White Lotus Season 2?!). And spoiler alert, he’s gay in this! Although, it’s never a huge part of the plot, which is quite nice, actually. It’s just another…
-
Bridgerton
Reactions: Obsessed, Romantic, Swoon // Review: I have to acknowledge that Bridgerton is a sappy romance drama. I’ve never read or even seen the books, but I have to imaging they’d sit alongside the other romance novels at the supermarket and appeal to the same audience. But. The show is adorable. It’s sexy. It’s surprisingly…
-
Over the Garden Wall
Reactions: Eerily Delighted, Magical and Dark // Review: I’d been looking for something short and easy to watch for a few minutes before heading upstairs to bed each night. And the Hulu algorithm read my mind (spooky, I know). The limited series tells the story of two half-brothers who get lost in the woods, after…
-
Castlevania Nocturne S2
Reactions: Vampires and demons, OH MY! // Review: Overall, YES. Just yes yes yes. I loved this season so much. I loved the original series. I liked season 1 of Nocturne. And I loved season 2. Two badass powerful women on the good side, two badass powerful demon women. And more Alucard. And Richter is…
-
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Reactions: Captivated, Fascinated, Pure wonderment // Review: The novel and show follow the story of the Buendía family, starting with José Arcadio and his wife Úrsula, cousins forbidden to marry who leave their village and wander in the jungle for years before founding the town of Macondo. We watch decades pass, Macondo grows, and the…
-
Queen Charlotte
Reactions: Cute, Sexy, Fun // Review: I’ve never watched Bridgerton. But in the past I have enjoyed shows like Hulu’s The Great and Amazon’s My Lady Jane. And you don’t have to know anything about Bridgerton to understand and enjoy Queen Charlotte. The show is set in two timeframes: One when Charlotte and Charles III…
-
Creature Commandos
Reactions: Amused, Deja vu // Review: I liked Creature Commandos. It’s acerbic and clever. There are several laugh-out-loud moments. Every line out of GI Robot’s mouth is perfection. There’s a lot to enjoy in this animated show. However. This just feels like James Gunn doing more James Gunn. It’s very one-trick-pony. Honestly the witty banter…
-
Somebody Somewhere
Reactions: I laughed. I cried. Heartfelt happiness. // Review: I’m shocked that it took me this long to finally watch Somebody Somewhere because this show is exactly the type of show I love. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that this is one of the best shows I’ve seen in ages. It’s so…
-
Dune: Prophecy
Reactions: Intrigue, Eyes-glued, Fucking wow. // Review: I wasn’t so sure about this new Dune series after the first two episodes. Then it hit its stride and, as I said above, just fucking wow. In a world of sequels and remakes, this feels different. While there have been three movie versions of the book Dune…
-
Mystery of Aaravos
Reactions: Fun, Magical, Dark. // Review: Don’t let the somewhat juvenile animation style fool you: This show is dark and complex. You get: assassin elves, star-touch elves warring with arch-dragons, fire elves and their lesbian queen who marries a human, gay husband moonshadow elves who surrogate-raise one of the protagonists, dark magic, prophesying skywing elves…
