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. But then the more we learned about the show, … Continue reading WandaVision (Season Review) | A Meticulous and Therapeutic Edging Session
GREG BERLANTI & TODD HELBINGCASTTyler HoechlinElizabeth TullochAlex GarfinJordan ElsassAdam RaynerWolé ParksBased on the DC Comics characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster Pilot Review: The production value is the first thing that strikes you. It's not quite blockbuster level but it's close. The first episode doesn't feel like a CW show at all. In … Continue reading Superman & Lois (S1 Premiere) | Down-to-earth with Hints of Man of Steel & Smallville (TV Review)
CASTRebecca BreedsLucca De OliveiraMichael CudlitzKal PennDevyn A. Tyler The Accent is the first thing that I noticed. Not to judge if it was good or not, but I didn't remember if Jodie Foster's Clarice had one. To say that I went in "blind" is an understatement, all I knew about the show is that it … Continue reading Clarice (Pilot review) | The Right Look and Tone But It Still Needs Work
Review: I wasn't sure if I was even going to check this out because I don't think that I'm the right demographic but I've had a hard day and my best friend was there for me. So I thought of this show when I wanted to wine down. It is has cliché has you think … Continue reading Firefly Lane (S1 Premiere Review) | Interesting Enough To Watch It Through But Not Binge
WandaVision posters were brilliant and did give us an idea of what they were going for, a weird, trippy but sophisticated show. However, what they didn't tell us was how far they'd go with it. 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
CastRicky WhittleEmily BrowningIan McShaneYetide BadakiBruce Langley I meant to do a refresher course of the last two seasons but didn't, so my memory of what happened is not that great and the recap didn't help that much because I saw some things in it that I don't remember. For instance, I remembered that Mad Sweeney … Continue reading American Gods (S3 Premiere Review) | Until Destiny Kicks In
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 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
Review: I am yet to read the books so I'm just getting a feel for the characters in this two episode premiere. They're all different and potentially interesting. This distant secondhand dimension has a lot of elements going for it. The most surprising thing though is the aesthetic, and tone of the show. Not that … Continue reading The Watch (Pilot Review) | A Farscape Throwback with A Doctor Who Vibe
