Review: ‘Doctor Who” Season 13 Finale – The Vanquishers

Doctor Who concluded its six-episode event, titled Flux, this past Sunday with an extended season finale. This season had a pretty high bar set, being both the final season run for Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall, with the exception of the three specials throughout 2022. For the most part, the season as a whole has been exceptional, however, the finale didn’t

Review: Masters of the Universe: Revelation Part 2

Part 2 of Netflix’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation did what fans clamored for and turned the dial up to 11. It’s almost as if the episode splits were intentional to keep us from being too well fed all at once. While it’s interesting to see Netflix adopt this release strategy on an animated series, the wait is still well worth

Review: ‘The Flash: Armageddon’ Season 8 Premiere

CW’s The Flash series returned for its eighth season last night. But unlike previous season openers, this year began with a huge event. Branded as “not a crossover”, this five-part extravaganza, aptly titled Armageddon, will bring heroes from across the Arrowverse together in true crossover fashion.

Review: ‘Supergirl’ Series Finale

After six seasons, Supergirl came to a close Tuesday evening with a two-part series finale. Fans knew for quite a while that the show was coming to a close, with news of the final season announced in September of 2020.
