Review: “Then Came You” Left Me Feeling Some Unexpected Feelings

I'm more conflicted about this movie than I expected to be. To be clear, Then Came You is not a particularly good movie. I was shocked to learn that the runtime was only 90 minutes because I could have sworn it went on for four lifetimes. The acting wavers between passable, wooden, and just odd. The … Continue reading Review: “Then Came You” Left Me Feeling Some Unexpected Feelings

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!

The first thing I need to say is that Ginny and Georgia is not the second coming of the Gilmore Girls. Nor should it be. Yes, it is a show about a mother and daughter with only a fifteen-year age gap … Continue reading Review: “Ginny and Georgia” Doesn’t Need to be the Second Coming of the “Gilmore Girls”

Review: My Feelings About “Firefly Lane” Are Not As Glowing As I Hoped

Content Warning: The series (but not this review) contains graphic representations of sexual assault. The constant switching between time frames was often difficult for my brain to process and may be a problem for other people as well. I've never been inside a glitching time machine, but I'm guessing it would feel a bit like … Continue reading Review: My Feelings About “Firefly Lane” Are Not As Glowing As I Hoped
