The Legend of Korra Book 3 continued this week with two more episodes: “In Harm’s Way” and “The Metal Clan”. Like last week, I’ll be reviewing these two episodes together as one. Let’s get started, shall we? SPOILERBENDING BELOW, MY FRIENDS. PLOTS! In the North, Zuko, Korra’s Dad, and her cousins attempt fend off an […]
“Some of literature’s most terrifying characters, including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula are lurking in the darkest corners of Victorian London. PENNY DREADFUL is a frightening psychological thriller that weaves together these classic horror origin stories into a new adult drama.” Reading Showtime’s description of Penny Dreadful, it was […]
“Penguin One, Us Zero” is a great follow up to The Leftovers’ pilot episode. If the first installment was about introducing the bleak nature of this world and establishing tone and atmosphere, then this second chapter is all about providing some answers and clarity on some of the many ambiguities shown in the first episode. […]
After last week’s debacle of an episode, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with how well True Blood rebounded with “Fire in the Hole.” Perhaps it is simply a case of the series choosing to spread its focus more evenly among the series’s more interesting characters, but this episode was engaging and well-written, […]
The first two episodes of Rectify‘s second season focused a lot on purpose. From Daniel contemplating whether or not it is worth it to keep living, to Teddy’s desire to be the savior of the family tire business and prove his worth to his entire family, the characters have begun to take stock of what their […]
The Leftovers is not the feel-good romp of the summer. It very may well be the exact opposite. When the inciting incident of a series is the unexplained disappearance of two percent of the world’s population, you know that there is going to be some serious drama up in here. It is a decidedly grim […]
If last week’s season premiere of True Blood was a high point for the series over its last several seasons, “I Found You” likely ranks near the bottom of the heap. I had so much hope for this season of the show- the belief that perhaps the series would take itself a bit more serious […]
The Legend of Korra Book 3 premiered with, appropriately enough, three episodes: “A Breath of Fresh Air”, “Rebirth of a Nation”, and “The Earth Queen”. I’ll review them together as one long episode because the episodes are heavily linked together and, strangely enough, they’re more complete together than they are apart. Lets hop in. Lookin’ […]
It can’t be easy for Aden Young to inhabit the character of Daniel Holden on Rectify. And yet Young manages to do so with grace and depth each episode- along with his much talked about stillness that has become Daniel’s trademark. But you know who might just have a tougher job? Clayne Crawford. And you […]
As a season finale “By Means Which Have Never Yet Been Tried” does an adequate job in providing closure and resolution to some of the season’s biggest conflicts and effectively laying the groundwork for the upcoming season. (Which has yet to be ordered.) It was an enjoyable hour full of the fun action, suspense, humor, […]
