Adam Kay (Creator)CASTBen WhishawAmbika ModMichele JustinAlex JenningsTom Durant Pritchard Review It's surprising to me but this show was not on my radar despite starring Ben Whishaw who happens to be my first male celebrity crush. I don't know how the series passed me by but within the first fifteen minutes of the show, I knew … Continue reading This Is Going To Hurt (Pilot Review) | Quite Raw and Unfiltered

Hawkeye (Season Review) | References and Emotional Arcs
Since his silhouetted appearance in Thor (2011) Jeremy Renner's (Kill the Messenger, The Bourne Legacy) Clint Barton aka Hawkeye, has become a sometimes mocked but key member of the first six Avengers. For some reason that didn't warrant a solo movie but a series introducing his replacement Kate Bishop, portrayed by Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit, … Continue reading Hawkeye (Season Review) | References and Emotional Arcs
Hawkeye (Pilot Review) | The Hero’s Apprentice
Review: Before I got a chance to watch this show for myself I was told to lower my expectations, which made sense because by nature Hawkeye is just human, not enhanced. Unlike WandaVision, Loki, or even Falcon and The Winter Soldier - that has one non-enhanced character out of the two title characters - this … Continue reading Hawkeye (Pilot Review) | The Hero’s Apprentice

One of Us Is Lying (Premiere Review) | I hope they keep this up
Review: I had no idea this was in the works but when I found out I went ahead and read the book - that was sitting on a virtual shelf for four years. So going in I didn't know anything about the casting or the production, so I'm not going to wine about actors not … Continue reading One of Us Is Lying (Premiere Review) | I hope they keep this up

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.

CREATORMalcolm SpellmanDIRECTORKari SkoglandCASTAnthony MackieSebastian StanDaniel BrühlEmily VanCampErin KellymanWyatt Russell Review Coming off of WandaVision, I expected this show to be different and have a different feel given who the titular characters are. What I wasn't totally expecting was the serious issues that The Falcon and The Winter Soldier would touch on.
