The world is a little chaotic right now, so, while we settle in and stay safe, why not watch something inspirational to lift the spirit? To make you cheer at the screen? There’s nothing like positive science fiction to make us happy and excited for what we might accomplish in the future. And we’ve got…
D.C. Super Hero Girls Has Serious Energy I was ill-prepared for D.C. Super Hero Girls. While I know that, among some nay-sayers, cartoons can be considered a little too fast, a little too manic, and exhausting to watch—I’ve never really found that to be the case. Except for this show really is absurdly fast. The…
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Looks “Distinct” Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is a show that asks: what if the gross sections of Rugrats was made into an entire show? Though perhaps that’s not fair to Aaahh!!! Because, though the animation is rather choppy and awkward, it’s got some rather inventive things put into the monster designs. Though Monsters,…
Missing Link Is A Visual Treat From Laika Missing Link proves that Laika is still at the top of their game in their niche craft. From Coraline to ParaNorman, they have proven that they can use a unique art style and then tell amazing, entertaining stories. Honestly, sometimes they do Pixar better than modern Pixar….
Does Locke & Key Match Its Pedigree? Having not been familiar with the work of Joe Hill, I didn’t know what to expect with Locke & Key the show. Certainly, the intro, with its hyper obsession with keys, caught my interest, but cool ideas for shows an intro does not make. But I’m pleased to report…
Dracula Receives The Sherlock Treatment Apparently, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have found their niche in doing slick adaptations of classic literature, because here they go again with Dracula. And Dracula’s first episode blew me away. It’s so rare now to get a truly gothic and horrific take on vampires and to see gore like…
Code 8 Explores An Awesome World Idea Code 8 reminds me eerily of Push—but while Push managed some intensely interesting action scenes and a unique take on urban superpowers, Code 8 does that and then takes it to the societal commentary side of things. Unlike other series, powered people are not seen as more, they…
October Faction Is Not What It Should Be While the marketing for October Faction may have said it’s like The Umbrella Academy, they neglected to say that it’s like the worst parts of The Umbrella Academy. And, in fact, it’s this issue with the show that’s indicative of a problem I’m having with modern television,…
Undone Undoes Every Expectation Undone pulls off the truly difficult task of making a story about being unmoored in time comprehensive and uses it to deliver storytelling and mystery in a way that’s deeply satisfying for a person willing to binge it. But, sadly, for those who first watch it, that’s not the thing they are…
Cells At Work: Nice Learning Experience Upfront, I have to admit that due to my streaming setup, I was unable to read the little boxes of information in Cells at Work. Which, no doubt, add even more to the viewing experience—but it’s a testament to the skill of the anime that I still feel like…
The Witcher Can Not Be A Coincidence Regardless of the source material and its adaptation here, The Witcher is so blatantly an attempt to imitate The Mandalorian for Netflix that I’m amazed no one is making a stink about it. Obviously, it has its own identity, but the show has such an abundance of similarities, both…
Epithet Erased Has Some Serious Talent JelloApocalypse is a gifted comedic voice actor, and a maker of quite a few videos that have reduced me to a giggling mess, so, you can imagine my excitement when Epithet Erased came out—his newest, story-driven comedy series. And, since I’ve reviewed things like Hazbin Hotel, I may as…
