Superman & Lois (S1 Review) | They Made Him Make Sense
As superhero dramas go this one is top-notch, Todd Helbing (The Flash, Black Sails, The Mob Doctor) and Greg Berlanti have outdone themselves.

WandaVision (Season Review) | A Meticulous and Therapeutic Edging Session
When the WandaVision show was announced I was thrilled because Wanda & The Vision are such great character that are very well portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany (Code); their storylines in all the movies they've appeared in made them more interesting with each entry.

I kind of love that the sitcoms weren't just a gimmick. They commit to it with a lot of the … Continue reading WandaVision (Pilot Review) | Edging Their Sweaty Fans with Easter Eggs and a Mystery

The Umbrella Academy (S2 Review) | History, Mystery, Action & Twists that Surpasses Expectations
Season one of The Umbrella Academy was an excellent surprise, an adaptation that managed to be different enough from the comics by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá but still keep the core idea of the property.
