Throughout much of human history, men have been presumed to be the more capable sex.

TV Review – Paramount+ Return of ‘Frasier’ is Fun, Even if It’s Hardly Must-See TV

The prominence of television reboots has brought back many beloved characters years after their original debuts.

TV Review – NBC’s ‘Found’ is a Familiar Procedural That Should Appeal to the Right Audience

The recently-ended writers’ strike and ongoing actors’ strike has severely decimated the amount of new television programming available for the fall season. That’s especially true for broadcast networks, which once debuted numerous must-see shows before the advent of streaming and on-demand viewing. NBC, which has new seasons of entries from the Law and Order and…

The grand finale to Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Endgame, introduced a rogue version of Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who was able to time-travel away from the events that would lead to his character’s previously-explored fate thanks to some clumsy timeline interference from the well-meaning Avengers. That resulted in the most fascinating and…

TV Review – ‘Physical’ Reaches a New Level in its Terrific Third and Final Season

Over the course of its first two seasons, Apple TV+’s Physical has chronicled the immersion of its protagonist, Sheila (Rose Byrne), in the world of aerobics as she combats a severe eating disorder and a crippling inner voice that constantly tells her how worthless she is. It’s certainly been a journey, one full of intense…

TV Review – ‘Minx’ Moves to Starz for Season 2 and It’s Absolutely Worth Watching

The first season of Minx premiered in March 2022 on HBO Max, depicting the fictional story of the rise of the first erotic magazine for women in the 1970s. The show was off to a great start, earning a second season renewal less than two months later, which was then reversed in December in the…

TV Review – ‘Justified: City Primeval’ is a Welcome Return to the Stylish and Gripping World of Raylan Givens

Author Elmore Leonard, who passed away during the…

TV Review – Season 3 of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Shows There’s More Mystery and Fun Left to Cover

Lightning doesn’t often strike twice, and that can definitely be true when it comes to TV series that begin new arcs each season. Covering a murder within the walls of their apartment building in season one of Only Murders in the Building brought a refreshing comedic adventure for its unlikely trio, and the series managed…

TV Review – ‘Special Ops: Lioness’ is a Rote Terrorism Thriller from Taylor Sheridan

Film and television over the past few decades have ingrained in audiences a picture of the war on terror, a series of seemingly endless conflicts with mostly unknown assailants whose primary goal is the destruction of America and democratic ideals. That’s created a relatively reductive view of nations as a whole and spawned many projects…

TV Review – ‘The Afterparty’ Season 2 Gets More Creative and Captures the Same Zany, Involving Energy

The first season of the Apple TV+ series The Afterparty brought together an extremely talented group of actors for a genre-bending comedy-mystery hybrid, presenting the same events from a different character’s viewpoint, and in a different style, in each episode. Continuing to find that same success is no easy feat, yet season two manages to…
