Young Wallander (S2 Review): Killer’s Shadow | I Still Like That Voice

Last season, I developed a fascination - some might call it weird - with our Title character's (Adam Palsson) speaking voice. I had forgotten about that and rereading my review of S1 I realized that I also noted it this time around. But I digress, in the sophomore season of Young Wallander - inspired by … Continue reading Young Wallander (S2 Review): Killer’s Shadow | I Still Like That Voice

Love, Victor (S2 Review) | More Adult But Just As Good

The half hour dramedy staring Michael Cimino (Annabelle Comes Homes), George Sear (Alex Rider), Rachel Hilson (This is Is Us), Anthony Turpel (No Good Nick), Isabella Ferreira (OITNB), Mason Gooding (Booksmart), and Bebe Wood (The Real O'Neals) was a welcome surprise for me. Both inspired by Greg Berlanti's Love, Simon and Becky Albertalli's novel "Simon … Continue reading Love, Victor (S2 Review) | More Adult But Just As Good

Lupin (Part 2 Review) | A Sameness that Still Works…Kind of

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

Special (S2 Review) | Sincerity and Realism in a Heartfelt Comedy

The first season of the show was sweet and powerful. A good mix of comedy and seriousness in an LGBTQIA package. The creator, producer, star, and author of the memoir "I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves." - which the show is based on - Ryan O'Connell is returning. Jessica Hecht (The Boys), Punam … Continue reading Special (S2 Review) | Sincerity and Realism in a Heartfelt Comedy

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

The Boys (S2 Premiere Review) | The Set-Up of What Could Be a Great Season?

The new season of The Boys, based on the comic books "The Boys" by writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick W. Robertson, premiered on Prime Video. Review: I am really struggling with writing this, why? Because as good as The Boys is it's not a weekly type of show. There is no villain of the … Continue reading The Boys (S2 Premiere Review) | The Set-Up of What Could Be a Great Season?
