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.

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…

Tales from the Loop
Reactions: Haunting, Beautiful, Emotional. // Review: I really enjoyed this 2020 series from Amazon. It’s a sci-fi series that’s set in a not-too-distant future with a 70s retro vibe. Each episode is self-contained, but they all revolve around a cast of characters living in a seemingly-Midwest town in which there’s an underground laboratory called The…
