Review: AN ASTROLOGICAL GUIDE FOR BROKEN HEARTS Has a Satisfying Second Season

Gratifying. If I only got one word to describe the second (and I think final) season of An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts, that's the one I'd choose. Sure, there are some aspects of the storyline that get stretched almost to the point of unbelievable in order to maintain dramatic tension, but the characters are … Continue reading Review: AN ASTROLOGICAL GUIDE FOR BROKEN HEARTS Has a Satisfying Second Season

Although it's only seven episodes, there's still plenty to love as our friends scramble around the near-future digital beyond, trying to save themselves and humanity from nefarious, power-hungry dealers while also building … Continue reading Review: UPLOAD Season 2 Mostly Left Me Hungry for Another Season

Review: LOVE & ANARCHY (Kärlek & Anarki) is So Good That I’ve Watched it Twice…So Far

I almost missed out on Love and Anarchy. The trailer, as trailers often do, strips the series of its depth and pacing, which left me thinking it would be a lot of awkward angles and sucker punches. But I was wrong. So wrong. I've seen the series described in a lot of ways—workplace comedy, dramedy, … Continue reading Review: LOVE & ANARCHY (Kärlek & Anarki) is So Good That I’ve Watched it Twice…So Far

Review: EMILY IN PARIS Season 2 Where La Dame PiPi Changed Everything For Me

Bienvenue to season two of Emily in Paris where the writers basically say: Screw you! We all complained so bitterly about last season but still binged it in droves, so the writers have no hesitation about hurling the same colorful dreck at us again this season. Is that an exaggeration? Maybe. But only slightly. Yes, … Continue reading Review: EMILY IN PARIS Season 2 Where La Dame PiPi Changed Everything For Me
