The Gentlemen (Season One, 2024) Mini TV Review

Despite being a spin-off rather than a sequel – as I would’ve preferred – to Guy Ritchie’s popular 2019 film The Gentlemen, Netflix’s series of the same name still intrigued... Read More

Monsieur Spade (Limited Series, 2024) Mini TV Review

While True Detective: Night Country was getting all of the headlines and social media mentions, AMC+ had a murder-mystery show of its own running concurrently and under the radar. Created... Read More

True Detective: Night Country (2024) TV Review

I was hoping to maintain my gaze on True: Detective Night Country in this review, but seeing as seemingly everyone else has already had a say, I thought I’d offer... Read More

Slow Horses (Season Three, 2023) TV Review

I pressed play on the first episode of Slow Horses’ third season before the person whom I was with could see what we were watching. What followed were ten minutes... Read More

Bosch: Legacy (Season Two, 2023) Mini TV Review

A year ago, I complained that the first season of Bosch: Legacy failed to take any risks, resulting in a program that felt more like an eighth season of Bosch... Read More

Warrior (Season Three, 2023) TV Review

Frankly, I never thought we’d see another season of Warrior. When HBO mothballed Cinemax’s original programming, I assumed that would doom this show for sure. Of course, there was also... Read More

Steeltown Murders (Miniseries, 2023) Mini TV Review

Like most Americans, I had never heard of Welsh serial killer John Cooper, which only changed after I watched the Luke Evans-led miniseries, The Pembrokeshire Murders (2021). So, it should... Read More

Hijack (Miniseries, 2023) Mini TV Review

I’ve become a sucker for Apple TV+’s model: slap a movie star onto an expensive looking series and hope for fireworks. This approach hasn’t always paid off, as we’ve seen... Read More

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan (Season Four, 2023) Mini TV Review

Sometimes, I really hate how my brain thinks. For instance, when I read that season four of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan was releasing only six months after its third installment,... Read More

The Bear (Season Two, 2023) TV Review

I’ve noticed multiple critics say, “The Bear manages to avoid a sophomore slump…,” or something along those lines, when summing up their feelings about its second season. It’s almost as... Read More

Reacher (Season One, 2022) Mini TV Review

Since season one of Reacher aired well over a year ago, writing a full review for it would be superfluous. That said, there may be some of you who, like... Read More

River (Miniseries, 2015) TV Review

While waiting for several series I enjoy to finish their current seasons (I like to binge), I needed something to divert me in the interim. After perusing the interwebs for... Read More

Rabbit Hole (Season One, 2023) TV Review

It’s rather appropriate that for a review of a series called Rabbit Hole, I have no idea where to begin. I suppose the first thing I’d say is that I... Read More

Perry Mason (Season Two, 2023) TV Review

When I surprised the person with whom I watch TV with the first episode of season two of Perry Mason, they simply said, “I forgot about this show”. I won’t... Read More

Liaison (Season One, 2023) Mini TV Review

There’s a very good chance you’ve never heard of Liaison, Apple TV+’s new British-French co-produced thriller series. Like Echo 3, it’s another high production value, low shits-given TV show that... Read More
