Squid Game: A Bleak And Strange Masterpiece
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.

Brave New World: A Classic Book, An Amazing Show?
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.
Devs: Alex Garland Does It Again
Devs Is An Absolutely Brilliant TV Show Going into Devs, I had expectations. I had heard the pacing was slow. That it was hard to get through. I did not remotely have that issue.

The Orville Season 2: Still Good?
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…
