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

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

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

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

Mayor of Kingstown (Season Two, 2023) TV Review

Although many critics didn’t care for the first season of Mayor of Kingstown, it seems like most of its viewers actually did, myself included. Sure, it was relentlessly bleak and... Read More

1923 (Season One, 2022-23) TV Review

While I still enjoy Yellowstone, I have been noticing a steady decline in actual storytelling in that show. 90% of it is filler these days; entertaining filler, but filler all... Read More

A Spy Among Friends (Miniseries, 2023) TV Review

Brotherhood. Fraternity. Friendship. These are words – and concepts – that don’t usually pop into our heads when we think about spy movies or TV shows. Indeed, the words that... Read More

Echo 3 (Season One, 2022-23) TV Review

Within the last 15 years, screenwriter Mark Boal has written three first-rate military/political thrillers: The Hurt Locker (2008), Zero Dark Thirty (2012), and Triple Frontier (2019). There’s no denying that... Read More

Tulsa King (Season One, 2022-23) TV Review

Upon seeing the official trailer for Tulsa King, my first thought was that it looked like a TV series tailor-made for me. One, it starred Sylvester Stallone, an action icon... Read More

Slow Horses (Season Two, 2022) TV Review

After a well-received first season (read our review here), Slow Horses is back for its second six-episode run of 2022. Despite some clunkiness in its storytelling, season one did a... Read More

The Last Kingdom (Season Five & Complete Series) TV Review

I vividly remember watching the first season of The Last Kingdom on BBC America all the way back in 2015 and thinking, yeah, this show is better than Vikings. It... Read More
