‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Continues with a Heel Turn Even the WWE Would Be Proud Of

Everyone has a breaking point. No matter how patient, or how forgiving, or how mentally tough a person may be, eventually there comes a time when enough is enough, and something has to change. The pain has to stop—one way or another. “Unfit” tells the story of two women (three, really) who have been pushed…

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Shows How the Women of Gilead Cope with Its Various Atrocities

Gilead is a tough place to be a woman. And I know—that’s a statement even Captain Obvious would roll his eyes at. But what The Handmaid’s Tale really wants us to understand is that, while life is difficult for anyone in Gilead whose only real crime is having the audacity to be born female, some…

‘The Good Fight’ Continues: For His Next Trick, Kurt Makes Diane’s Felony Disappear

Any successful relationship involves a certain amount of compromise. Chances are that, if you have a significant other in your life, the two of you don’t agree on everything. In fact, there are probably some things on which you have strikingly different viewpoints. And that’s usually a big part of what makes the relationship work—I…

‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Gives Us Rats and Bats but No Bears, Oh My, in an Assured 5th Episode

If you can divorce yourself emotionally, there is a sort of pleasure in watching the growing pains of a freshman show. Sometimes it’s the unmitigated delight that we as humans  – perverse critters that we are – feel watching a chain reaction train-wreck. But often it is the charm of watching a doe find it’s…

‘Gotham’ Ends Its Run With the Finale We Really Didn’t Need–Surprisingly, It’s Not Half Bad

Have you ever been to a concert where the music’s pretty good (but not great), and you’re really just ready for it to be over? The band plays the last song, and they walk off stage, and everyone claps politely and starts heading for the exits because nobody really wants to hear an encore. But…

Eve’s obsession with villanelle threatens her marriage on an all-new ‘killing eve’

Eve’s Obsession With Villanelle Threatens Her Marriage on an All-New ‘Killing Eve’

It’s funny how, more often than not, the biggest lies are the ones we tell ourselves. Like, “I can quit anytime I want to,” or, “I never really loved them anyway,” or, “I haven’t changed—I’m still the same person I’ve always been.” Everyone else can see that we’re full of it, and, deep down, we…

‘Titans’ S1E3 – Beast Boy Needs More Screen Time, and a Look into Robin’s Childhood

True detective s3e7: penultimate episode leaves plenty of heavy lifting for the finale

True Detective S3E7: Penultimate Episode Leaves Plenty of Heavy Lifting for the Finale

There is only one episode left in season three of True Detective, and I think, at last, I may understand the mania that compels Wayne Hays. He is seeing the Purcell case through, not because he wants to or takes any real pleasure in it at this point, but because he needs to see how…

By Episode 2, ‘The Umbrella Academy’ Already Knows Exactly What Show It Is

On the other side, now, having spent the weekend effectively binge-ing the whole of The Umbrella Academy, season one, I briefly considered letting myself off the episodic hook and writing an overview of the season as a whole. But that ultimately seemed like the coward’s way out and this is no country for the timid….

‘how to get away with murder’ reminds us that some mistakes are worse than others

‘How to Get Away with Murder’ Reminds Us That Some Mistakes Are Worse than Others

We all make mistakes. Most of them aren’t really a big deal. Wearing shoes that don’t match your suit? Slightly embarrassing, but you’ll live. Wearing shoes that don’t match each other? Worse, but not the end of the world.  But killing the wrong person? That one’s kind of bad. I don’t think Hallmark makes a…
