I enjoy epic historical tales in books and movies whether they are fictional or not. So this new Amazon Prime Video series certainly caught my attention. It has the added bonus of being a Spanish language TV series, which will allow me to maintain a decent level of Spanish while being entertained, and Jaime Lorente, … Continue reading El Cid (S1 Review) | Greed and Its Consequences in Medieval Time
This show only came onto my radar when the first trailer was dropped, it has Kaley Cuoco (Harley Quinn) as the lead and Michiel Huisman (GoT, Wild) in an interesting role. The show was developed by Steve Yockey, not a name that I'm familiar with, he's worked on Supernatural, Scream, and Awkward which to me … Continue reading The Flight Attendant (S1 Review) | It’ll Captivate Most Who’ll Give It A Chance (TV Review)
Josh Boone (The New Mutants) & Benjamin Cavell (SEAL Team) adaptation of Stephen King's "The Stand" Review The cast that they've gathered for this show is astounding, I was impressed. Even knowing what the premise was, it didn't occur to me why that was. The pilot is eerie, despite the decaying bodies, but it leans … Continue reading The Stand | S1 Pilot review

I then saw images of a young boy wearing a dress, and I wondered why that was, that's how I got to watch this show. James McBride wrote … Continue reading The Good Lord Bird (Miniseries Review) | A History Lesson, An Interesting Tone, and Great Acting
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

I was browsing for something to watch, in fact I was planning to check out Monsterland's pilot episode to see if it is a series I could watch. But then I saw David Tennant (Good Omens, Jessica Jones) on the poster for this and forgot my plans.

I have watched Ryan Murphy shows before I knew who he was...is? It started from Nip/Tuck to The New Normal, Glee, and more recently 911, Pose, and 911 Lone Star.

The fictional character this show is based … Continue reading Ratched (S1 Review) | Nice Crescendo but Starts to Crumble in the End
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?
