in EpisodesAmerican Gods Season 3 Finale: ‘Tears of the Wrath-Bearing Tree’ Brings Death and Renewal
Reflecting on Season 3 of American Gods, creator Neil Gaiman said that the show is “very, very much back in the book”, and it definitely felt that way. A couple of major plot reveals from the novel have now been incorporated, leaving the show hinging on a drastic cliffhanger. There’s been a heavy focus on […] More

American Gods Mid-Season Catch-up: Identity Crises Culminate in ‘Sister Rising’
Due to the Superbowl last weekend, American Gods took a week hiatus and returned with a significant episode, ‘Sister Rising’. During this time, statements from Evan Rachel Wood and multiple other women detailing Marilyn Manson’s abuse led to his character being edited out of the episode. Many allegations of abuse had already been made against […] More

American Gods Season 3 Premiere: ‘A Winter’s Tale’ is a Promising Start
It’s no secret that American Gods Season 2 was underwhelming (to put it nicely). Negative reviews were scattered left, right, and centre following its release, and there was yet another ensuing cast and showrunner turnover. Charles “Chic” Eglee will now be overseeing the new run of the show, this time without Kahyun Kim (New Media), […] More

Sweetbitter’s Abrupt End Tastes Bittersweet
I found a bone in my salmon, and it’s very much a bone I would like to pick with Starz for cancelling Sweetbitter. It’s probably a show you’ve never heard of—I find Starz series often fall below the radar in peak TV times, save for maybe Outlander. (Vida is another often-overlooked Starz series you should […] More

Vida Leaves a Worthwhile Legacy Behind
Vida, Starz’s masterful half(ish)-hour dramedy said its final goodbye Sunday night, and in doing so left a hole in my heart. Not because it was an incomplete ending by any means—mainly I’m sad because this lovely, funny, sad, little show gave life and space for stories (and pain) so rarely seen on television. Vida, which […] More

Power S6E10: “No One Can Stop Me”
Last week, I ended my review of S6E9 with “Next week is the last episode of Power before the series breaks over Christmas, and I predict we’re in for a major cliffhanger.” Oh. My. God. I did not expect that cliffhanger. OK, looking back, maybe I should have expected it, but as the moment approached, all […] More

Power S6E9: “Scorched Earth”
I have so many thoughts right now. The previous episode of Power left me heartbroken for Tommy, and this week I am left feeling completely shocked. “Scorched Earth” begins with Tommy taking Cash back to his father, where he belongs. This is the first time we have been introduced to Keisha’s ex, Kadeem, and to […] More

Power S6E8: “Deal With The Devil”
Okay, so before this week’s episode aired, 50 Cent and Joseph Sikora blew up my timelines and assured me that the next three episodes of Power are going to blow me away. And so far so good—I certainly was not ready for this week’s episode. It all happened so fast. Last week, Dre expected to […] More

Power S6E7: “Like Father, Like Son”
Every week I make notes as I watch Power, and every week I end up with an entire book full of small incredible details that keep Power surprising us week after week. This definitely isn’t a quiet show; it wants to surprise us and it knows just how damn good it is. I am completely […] More

Power S6E6: “Inside Man”
“You were right, kid: As long as Ghost and Tommy think you’re in danger, they’ll do anything to cover what you owe me.” Oh, Tariq. Why? All that you’re doing here is proving to me that you’re not actually worth anything, especially not $2 million. But his family can’t see that, which is why they […] More

Power S6E5: “King’s Gambit”
Admittedly this week I watched Power later than I usually do and ran into one of the biggest spoilers of the season. You can probably guess what it was. To spend the whole episode wondering when something is going to happen is the worst. This week’s episode of Power was absolutely full of surprises, and I […] More

Power S6E4: “Why Is Tommy Still Alive?”
Power just keeps getting better and better. A lot of stuff went down this week, and honestly it’s making me angry to see some of the backlash that this week’s episode got online. Last week, we got support for 50 Cent, and now I’m seeing people calling the story line a joke. I don’t know where […] More
