Source pression. The fellas at South Park have released a few made for streaming specials that are anything but special. While I do appreciate that the comedy is evolving and adapting to a newer audience, it is a style that doesn't always vibe with me. I am not a purist in any anyway. There are... Continue Reading →
TV Series Review: Star Trek: Picard
Picard is my introduction to Star Trek. I've seen the movies, but I wasn't a fan of the movies. As someone who is unfamiliar with the show, this was a great place to start. While it is a little preachy at points, it did make me start watching some of the older shows. If you... Continue Reading →
Halo Series Revisited
Source Now that I have seen more episodes of the Halo series, I want to revisit my initial assessment. Halo is a good show if you have never seen a sci-fi show before. Otherwise, it is a generic and unimpressive attempt at sci-fi with a halo skin. If you are a fan of the game, don't bother. It has... Continue Reading →
TV Series Review: The White Lotus (2021)
Source You should watch White Lotus because it is a great show. The pacing is a bit slow and some of the arguments get repetitive, but the narrative is well put together. White Lotus has fantastic actors giving wonderful performances in a beautiful setting, what more can you ask for? A fair bit of warning, however, this show gets... Continue Reading →
TV Series Review: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2021)
Source I have mixed feelings about this series. I am really impressed with what this show does well, but it is slow. It builds proper suspense and mystery, the death scenes are well done, there are some cool set designs, and the twist is surprising. The biggest problem with this show is that it is...

Streaming Series Review: Outlaws (2021)
Outlaws is a show on Amazon about a group of strangers that meet doing community service. Whether by circumstance or action, crime has brought these strangers together. The show weaves several different narratives as you explore each character's past and growth. Most of the narratives fit together nicely, but some leaps are made to make the... Continue Reading →
TV Shows Review: Upload
Source It is hard to recommend Upload because it isn't for everyone. I would describe this show as a cheesy, sci-fi romance novel about death. It does a good job of going over different philosophies about death. I really like the concept of saving a person's consciousness so that it lives forever. What I don't... Continue Reading →
TV Series Review: Righteous Gemstones
Source The Righteous Gemstones is a show on HBO about a family who runs a megachurch in Georgia. The show follows them as they spread the word of God while they face their demons. The show does a great job separating the Gemstones' public personas who go on stage and preach about God from the... Continue Reading →
TV Series Reviews – Vice Principals (2016)
Source Vice Principals is a dark comedy that should at the very least be on your radar. There is betrayal, deception, vandalism, and even attempted murder, all in a tightly knit and well-written two seasons. This show does a great job mixing its tones. One moment you will laugh at some witty exchange or insult;... Continue Reading →
TV Series Review – The Tick
Source I want to try to sell you on a show that isn't going to be for everyone. The Tick is a superhero show that is available with your Amazon Prime subscription that isn't your typical MCU cash-in. The Tick is a parody of the genre and a good one at that. The show follows... Continue Reading →
