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 show has always had a clean crisp look but this … Continue reading A Discovery of Witches (S2 Premiere Review) | Engrossing and Beautiful
The Watch (Pilot Review) | A Farscape Throwback with A Doctor Who Vibe

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
