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. 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
El Cid (S1 Review) | Greed and Its Consequences in Medieval Time
I enjoy epic historical tales in books and movies whether they are fictional or not. So this new Amazon Prime Video series certainly caught my attention. It has the added bonus of being a Spanish language TV series, which will allow me to maintain a decent level of Spanish while being entertained, and Jaime Lorente, … Continue reading El Cid (S1 Review) | Greed and Its Consequences in Medieval Time
The Flight Attendant (S1 Review) | It’ll Captivate Most Who’ll Give It A Chance (TV Review)
This show only came onto my radar when the first trailer was dropped, it has Kaley Cuoco (Harley Quinn) as the lead and Michiel Huisman (GoT, Wild) in an interesting role. The show was developed by Steve Yockey, not a name that I'm familiar with, he's worked on Supernatural, Scream, and Awkward which to me … Continue reading The Flight Attendant (S1 Review) | It’ll Captivate Most Who’ll Give It A Chance (TV Review)
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

Lovecraft Country (S1 Review) | An Educational Fantasy Journey
I'm a scaredy-cat, I know that about myself and I'm O.K. with it. It's the reason why I was so reluctant to see Lovecraft Country even though I wanted to watch and review the pilot when it aired. I didn't. This series nagged at me and I caved. I watched the pilot in broad daylight … Continue reading Lovecraft Country (S1 Review) | An Educational Fantasy Journey

Des (Miniseries Review) | A Chilling Story and Performance
I was browsing for something to watch, in fact I was planning to check out Monsterland's pilot episode to see if it is a series I could watch. But then I saw David Tennant (Good Omens, Jessica Jones) on the poster for this and forgot my plans. This three part miniseries is directed by Lewis … Continue reading Des (Miniseries Review) | A Chilling Story and Performance
