Using “great” as anything but the most introductory of adjectives for describing a show is usually a bad idea. The Sopranos was groundbreaking, but something can be groundbreaking and yet not have legs. I watched the entire series around 2011-2012, and while I liked it a lot (although I felt the last couple of seasons…

The first season was pretty sharp, and functioned as decent satire. The characters were fun, the visuals were good, and it was overall a good time. But it suffered from diminishing returns, season after season, and eventually became little more than puerile wish-fulfillment.

This is my problem with all the backlash-to-woke whining you see so often these days. It’s not like good points don’t get made, and I’ve got enough problems with woke Twitter myself, but most of the time it masks a much deeper feeling of entitlement which just seems like the result of being too rich and too famous for…

“I don’t think Entourage was this vulgar boy-fest that people like to paint it as now.”

I’d still put the sequels above Rise of Skywalker. At least they felt like they were made by someone rather than a committee trying to tailor itself to garner positive social media feedback (ending up with something that satisfied almost no one). I’d take a flawed (often very flawed) director’s vision other that…

I’m going to say that while the Prequels aren’t good by any means, the themes of the trilogy certainly have potential as we have seen in the Clone Wars animated series. There is clearly a story worth telling about the fall of the Republic and the rise of Darth Vader. The problem is what holds it back is that George…

Yeah - it’s vignettes. I do recommend Roy Andersson, I don’t quite know that this review really does him justice though. Not because I disagree with how wonderful he is, but most Andersson films and most Andersson fans seem interested in pursuing meaningful discussion whereas this review seems largely immaterial.

If…

Maybe if he wasn’t such a cunt in regards to his monumental ego I would be able to stand the guy but even then he’s just that wanker in every group project at school who takes all the credit. He and his weird fans act like he’s this scientific genius who invented all these new technologies when the reality is that…

Tragedies have happened, yes, but the safety record for spaceflight is actually pretty exceptional, given the risks involved.

While its highs don’t reach those of WandaVision, The Falcon & The Winter Soldier is more consistent. It’s not as high concept so its tepid ending is less underwhelming. It still has two leads that have great chemistry once they’re out of the other Avengers’ shadows. I wish it did more with Baron Zemo & Flag-Smasher.

Firstly, Sulagna, great reviewing throughout. Even when I disagreed with your takes, I appreciated that they were well thought out and made sense.

No YA nonsense is going to be the next Got, because GoT wasn’t YA nonsense.

Agreed. I like the show quite a bit, but its development of Karli is its weakest point (other than the fact that 3/4 of the sets are indistinguishable). People compare her to Killmonger in Black Panther, but the real-world roots of his story made it easy (hopefully) for the audience to empathize with him. Karli’s…

The show was good, not great, with some handwaving required to just start Season 2 pretty much as normal after the way Season 1 ended.  I’d welcome its return, but only if the creatives are really excited about it.

She was fine in Solo. Maybe because I’m trained now to expect every single plot thread to get wrapped up, or because I’m rooting for Emilia Clarke’s post GoT career, but it’s stuck in the back of my head that her scheme with Maul is left hanging. Maybe the Obi Wan series can do flashback arcs where these things get…

Personally, I’d rather she had helmed a Qi’ra mini-series on Disney+. I want to see a “The Sopranos but Star Wars” show, Disney! But sure, Emilia Clarke the SuperSkrull (or Lyja, maybe?) works for me, too.

Iron Fist should definitely have a cameo, even if it’s just to have something randomly fall on him in the stinger or something.

Also it looks like one big apology for Iron Fist.

He and Tobey were so great in the scene.
