Clarice (Pilot review) | The Right Look and Tone But It Still Needs Work
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

WandaVision (Pilot Review) | Edging Their Sweaty Fans with Easter Eggs and a Mystery
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

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
