Review: ‘American Horror Stories: Lake’ Season Finale

The second season of American Horror Stories has finally come to a close this week, a season that brought many highs and lows over the course of the eight episodes. Some episodes will remain top tier in my mind, such as “Dollhouse”, “Drive”, and “Aura”, while others I didn’t care for nearly as much as the others, looking at you “Milkmaids”.

Review: ‘Stargirl: Frenemies’- “The Suspects” (S3 Ep2)

Hey there Star-family, how are we doing after that explosive premiere episode of Stargirl’s third season? Those last few minutes of “The Murder” have been haunting me for weeks now, as this mystery continues well past the first six episodes in this season.

Review: ‘What We Do In The Shadows’- “Sunrise, Sunset” (S4 EP10)

The season 4 finale for What We Do In The Shadows: Sunrise, Sunset shoves the characters back into their typical roles as they struggle to break out.

Review: ‘Rick and Morty: Solaricks’

The season 6 premiere for Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty indicates a much-needed shift in attitude for the series. As well-regarded as it is, Rick and Morty has had a shaky run with the award-winning highs of “The Vat of Acid Episode” and the confusing lows of “Rickdependence Spray.” The series has returned with “Solaricks,” and if it’s any indication of

Review: ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Premiere

After what has felt like such an excruciatingly long wait, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has finally premiered on Prime Video. It’s been almost five years since Amazon purchased the television rights of J.R.R. Tolkien’s expansive world of Middle-earth, which feels like forever in such a dedicated fandom.

Review: ‘American Horror Stories: Necro’

After ten seasons of American Horror Story and almost two complete seasons of its spin-off, not much shocks me from these Ryan Murphy-developed shows. From this season alone, fans have been given many exceptional stories of ghosts, witches, urban legends, serial killers, and crazy plastic surgeons. However American Horror Stories: Necro did something I didn’t think possible; it shocked and surprised

Review: ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ – “Freddie” (S4 Ep9)

In recent memory, no series has been quite as good at balancing the absurd with the mundane as FX’s What We Do In The Shadows. The latest episode, season 4 episode 9 “Freddie” demonstrates the series at its best, playing jump rope with the line between absurd and mundane and never giving you a second to breathe.  [Warning: Spoilers from What

Review: ‘American Horror Stories: Facelift’

Well American Horror Stories fans, we’re nearing the end of a truly excellent season of television. Something I wasn’t initially expecting going into season two, as season one of the AHS spin-off was such a mixed bag. However, season two has brought quite a few stand-out hours of television, with Dollhouse, Aura, Drive, and Bloody Mary really standing out as top-tier

‘She-Hulk’ Ep. 2 Review: More Focus on Jen, Plenty of MCU Easter Eggs

When discussing the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or any massive expansive franchise), there’s a huge temptation to declare an installment the best yet. There’s been many a meme on Twitter poking fun at this phenomenon. While I’m not ready to say that She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is the best yet, I think it’s done a fantastic job of propelling Jen’s story forward and

Review: AMC+’s ‘Pantheon’ – An Animated Experiment

As a station, AMC has brought some of the biggest shows and mind-blowing moments to the world for over a decade.
