    Dark Matter Asks: What If You Stole Your Own Life? (Or Vice Versa)

    The following recommendation might be considered to contain some light spoilers for Dark Matter Season 1, but arguably fewer than are in the trailer Apple TV released prior to the series premiering in 2024. Dark Matter hit my radar when the series was announced, as I was looking for news items to discuss on The […] More

    The following recap contains spoilers for Silo S3E6, “The Drive” (written by Sal Calleros and directed by Alrick Riley) After last week’s episode spent nearly its entire runtime in Silo 18, I kind of hoped that this week we’d focus on what’s happening in the Before Times.

    Death by Lightning: History at Once as Tragedy and as Farce

    Long before Death by Lightning was released, the series pinged my radar with casting announcements. The headliners form a veritable who’s who of actors who stand out, even in smaller roles: Michael Shannon, Matthew Macfadyen, Betty Gilpin, Nick Offerman, Bradley Whitford, Shea Whigham… I’d probably watch these people in a show about painting a fence.
