I have intensely anticipated this one. The book that won the one-time Hugo Award for “Best All-Time Series” over The Lord of The Rings trilogy has finally received the adaptation it deserves. While we await the arrival of Dennis Vilenvue’s Dune and the next season of The Mandalorian, I think fans will find Foundation to be the bridge in their science-fiction television gap. […] More

Futurama is likely my favorite show of all time. It resonates with me in a way very little has. It’s funny, smart, and it’s filled with charm and imagination far beyond its years. I’ve watched and read just about everything I could get my hands on to help me understand episodes of the series even better. […] More

Part 2, titled “F*ck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob,” enters on the distraught, distantly focused Jules (Hunter Schafer) against a beige backdrop.

in EpisodesEuphoria Special Episode: Rue “Trouble Don’t Last Always”
There were two big takeaways concerning Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer) from the Euphoria season finale back in 2019: the first was that Jules had hopped on a train without Rue and planned to start a new life in the city; the other was Rue overdosing on oxycodone and proceeding to fall into a hallucinatory state […] More

The Sopranos may be the biggest and arguably the best show HBO has ever brought to television. I was playing catch-up back in 2007 before the airing of the second half of its final season.

In the tradition of the sitcom, Perfect Strangers starts off with a light, happy, upbeat song in the vein of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The shows certainly have their similarities as the lead characters also all work in news, though Moore’s show is still a staple in American culture where Perfect Strangers has never […] More

Quibi wants to change the way you’re being entertained. Striving to be the Netflix exclusive to your phone, the service produces episodes of its shows in segments of ten-minutes or less. Having now seen a couple of things on Quibi I can honestly say the content is rather good. Earlier this year I saw Veena […] More

I have been a fan of Supernatural since probably the episode leading up to the second season finale. Before that I was aware of the show, but I hadn’t really paid much attention to it. I think I had seen the pilot and wanted to get into it, but I was likely watching another bunch […] More
