A Discovery of Witches (S2 Premiere Review) | Engrossing and Beautiful

Review: The series picks up right where we left off in season one, and let me tell you they're moving things along and I love it. The story unfolds faster than in "Shadow of Night," like season one it's leaner and to the point. The show has always had a clean crisp look but this … Continue reading A Discovery of Witches (S2 Premiere Review) | Engrossing and Beautiful

Lupin (Part 1 Review) | Arsène Lupin Meets the Count of Monte Cristo

Lupin wasn't in my radar until that first trailer came out.

The Prom (Movie Review) | Truthful and Poignant Observations with Song and Dance

I'm not a Musical theater guy so I winced at the run time, but Ryan Murphy (Ratched) has worked on a lot of projects that I appreciated. Jo Ellen Pellman (The Deuce) and Ariana DeBose (Hamilton) are unknown to me but the rest of the cast Meryl Streep (The Giver), Nicole Kidman (Paddington), Kerry Washington … Continue reading The Prom (Movie Review) | Truthful and Poignant Observations with Song and Dance
