After watching this movie and seeing that WandaVision's showrunner Jac Schaeffer - and Ned Benson (Eleanor Rigby) - is one of the people behind the story with Eric Pearson (Godzilla vs. Kong, Thor: Ragnarok, Agent Carter) writing the screenplay.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lupin (Part 1) it was so engaging, nicely paced, and full of social commentaries that did not impede the story at all. Omar Sy (X-men Days of Future Past, The Untouchables) is amazing in the role, and the show is a nice spin on Maurice LeBlanc's The adventures of Arsène Lupin, gentleman … Continue reading Lupin (Part 2 Review) | A Sameness that Still Works…Kind of
Michael Waldron (Head Writer) & Kate Herron (Director)CASTTom HiddlestonOwen WilsonGugu Mbatha-RawWunmi Mosaku Review I suspected as much but Loki has a different vibe than the other shows and I love it. The set and costume designs, the cinematography, it all look singular yet it fits with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Story-wise most … Continue reading Loki (Season 1 Pilot Review) | A Recap and A Mystery
This TV show wasn't on my radar until the first teaser was released. I had no idea this was coming but the teaser trailer piqued my interest in the show. Created by Jim Mickle (Cold in July) and Beth Schwartz (Arrow), and produced by Team Downey, the series is based on Jeff Lamire's Vertigo comics … Continue reading Sweet Tooth (S1 Review) | A Captivating Adventure
It's been increasing for at least the last ten years but these past six months seem to have been flooded with new superhero shows (WandaVision, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Invincible).

They are more adult, tackling deeper, harder … Continue reading Jupiter’s Legacy (Season Review) | Old Grudges Die Hard
I grew up reading and watching manga, and adult animated series like this one is the closest thing produced in the west that has the same level of complexity and excitement that animes have. Invincible is the name of the series, and the Image Comics series by Robert Kirkman it's based on, the show has … Continue reading Invincible (S1 Review) | The Incredible Adult Animated Series

Lupin wasn't in my radar until that first trailer came out. I thought it was interesting that they cast Omar Sy (X-men Days of Future Past) in the role of Arsène Lupin but I didn't think I would make it past the first episode. When doing so I found out that Louis Leterrier (Incredible hulk) … Continue reading Lupin (Part 1 Review) | Arsène Lupin Meets the Count of Monte Cristo
A review of DC Univers's Stargirl created by Geoff Johns
Season one of The Umbrella Academy was an excellent surprise, an adaptation that managed to be different enough from the comics by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá but still keep the core idea of the property. Creator Steve Blackman (Legion) and Showrunner Jeremy Slater (The Exorcist) whipped up quite an incredible series. The show has … Continue reading The Umbrella Academy (S2 Review) | History, Mystery, Action & Twists that Surpasses Expectations
