Paradise is one of the best-written shows I’ve seen in a long time. It’s intricate without being confusing. Multi-layered without pulling away from its core storytelling. And gives answers to its many posed questions at a good enough pace that it’s always surprising that there’s another layer of mystery to uncover.
Squid Game hits you and doesn’t stop. Episode two is so brutally hard to watch, so upsetting, that I couldn’t help but compare it to The Handmaid’s Tale in terms of emotionally affecting scenes.
In a deviation from my usual rules, for Brave New World, I watched it all. The entire nine episodes. I did this so I could properly cover how it fits the original tale.

Instead, I was engaged, enraptured even. I also didn’t realize this was an Alex Garland show until the ending credits. And, if…
Living With Yourself Is Depressing Living with Yourself turned out to be an excellent show, full of poignant moments, that, if I may be a little personal here, ruined my mood. During the first episode, I was joyful at the hilarious and very dark sci-fi premise presented. By the third, the show’s unflinching look at…

And, fair warning, this is…
Legacies Doesn’t Live Up To Its History If I’m going to talk about Legacies, I suppose I must first give some credibility: I’ve seen a fair bit of Vampire Diaries. I’m familiar, to some degree, with the lore. I’ve also seen and read my fair bit of things like Twilight, The Magicians, and Buffy the Vampire…
The Orville Became The New Star Trek Having not grown up with original Star Trek, nor The Next Generation, The Orville is my first real exposure to the type of storytelling that’s so important to the history of sci-fi. It also leaves me in an odd state as the show has several aspects to it that…
