Review: VIRGIN RIVER Season 3, Not Everything Gets Better With Age

  Well, hello there! Come on in, pull up a chair by the unnecessarily lit fireplace, grab a slice of pie (which, if you're anything like the characters on this show, you'll never get around to eating), and make yourself comfortable because, friends, Season 3 of Virgin River was my least favorite so far, and I … Continue reading Review: VIRGIN RIVER Season 3, Not Everything Gets Better With Age

Review: The Only Bad Thing About STARSTRUCK is That There Isn’t More of It

Uh, yes, please and thank you. I very much enjoyed gorging my eyeballs on all the sticky opposites-attract romantical entanglements, witty comedic banter, and will-they, won't-they tension that Starstruck serves up. Did I initially squeal when I saw Nikesh Patel and his Genetically Blessed Face appear in the trailer? I absolutely did, which is an … Continue reading Review: The Only Bad Thing About STARSTRUCK is That There Isn’t More of It

So, if you too are thinking, Do I really have any business watching a show all about people who live and work … Continue reading Review: MYTHIC QUEST: RAVEN’S BANQUET Was a Delightful Surprise

Review: I MAY DESTROY YOU is Crushing, Beautiful, and Revelatory

Content Warning: The series and this review discuss sexual assault, rape, and consent. The series has several depictions of and many discussions about drugs, sexual assault, and rape. Those who have read my reviews know that I'm a strong believer in the binge-watch. Or, as I like to call it, immersive watching—like forest bathing, but … Continue reading Review: I MAY DESTROY YOU is Crushing, Beautiful, and Revelatory

Stadium seats from far away. Most of the seats are blue, but select ones are red to spell out Ted Lasso. Ted Lasso is just visible sitting in a seat at the bottom of the D.

Review: Let Season One of “Ted Lasso” Rope You In

(My insincerest apologies for the pun in the title.) Talking about the show Ted Lasso makes me want to speak in clichés. Big-hearted and optimistic! Full of charm! Root for the underdog! Teamwork makes the dream work! It's not about who wins or loses! Okay, that's about enough of that. But the show really does … Continue reading Review: Let Season One of “Ted Lasso” Rope You In
