It’s official, Apple+ has the strangest catalog of shows out there, and Servant basically made that decision for me. I recall back when the streaming service launched, this was one of the first shows it premiered. The fact that it was produced by M Night Shyamalan was supposed to be the big seller here, and I guess it was because that’s ultimately why I watched it. That, and it was shrouded in mystery! If someone had asked me what I thought the show was about all I could was “a baby.”

Soulmates Season 1 Review
After my severe love of Ted Lasso, I learned that one of the stars and writers, Brett Goldstein, had another show premiering on AMC and I was pretty much all in! Add to the fact that Soulmates touted stars such as Sarah Snook and Bill Skarsgaard as part of its cast and I was even more sold. That it was also an anthology made it even more intriguing.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
Unlike October, I have totally been slacking this month! Last week I didn’t watch a single film and this week I only got three in before my internet crapped out on me. A disappointing turn of events, but there is still time (and a holiday weekend) to catch up! Also, a fun fact about this trio of movies – they were all only an hour and a half! I love a good movie that can get their point across without dragging it past the two hour mark. It’s just not necessary sometimes and I think more filmmakers need to take note.
Read moreConcert Review: Foo Fighters Livestream
The Foos have been busy since performing on Saturday Night Live the weekend after the election! They debuted a new song, announced a new record, and decided to play a virtual show! Since I was supposed to see them back in May and then October, it was a no brainer to buy a ticket to this show.
Read moreFargo – Season 4, Episode 9
Well, well, well. I see you Fargo and your very cinematic black and white episode! I also see your nod to The Wizard of Oz! This creative turn is a nice reset for the remaining episodes of the fourth season of Fargo!
Read moreDickinson Season 1 Review
Well, I got Apple + back in order to watch Sofia Coppola’s latest film, so I figured it’d be a good opportunity to a watch a couple more shows in their catalog. I wanted something somewhat comedic, and besides Ted Lasso, Dickinson was the next beset thing. I remember being intrigued by it when press first started for it, but Hailee Steinfeld wasn’t quite enough to sell me on it.
Read moreConcert Throwback: Haim
You know what, since I just listened to and reviewed Haim’s latest musical effort, I thought now would be a great time to reflect on the one and only time I’ve seen them live. It was in 2016 at the wonderful Bunbury Music Festival, so that means the weather was toasty and since it was a music festival that means the crowd was excited! And so was I!
Read moreWorkaholics Seasons 6 & 7
In an incredibly short amount of time I have managed to watch the entirety of Workaholics, and it was a fantastic ride. I don’t want to sound ungrateful for the time dedicated to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but I think I enjoyed Workaholics just a bit more. As I’m sure I’ve explained in a prior season’s review, these three dudes just seem more relatable. I attribute that to its office setting and their genuine friendship. Sure, the gang are friends, too, but these guys actually look out for each other. That’s the key difference. Anyways, I’m not going to get hung up on all that, because both really are great series and you should definitely take the time to watch them.
Read moreAlbum Review: Haim – Women in Music Pt III
Alright, I’m not going to lie, I bought Haim’s third full-length album solely based on their performance of “3 A.M.” on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Yes, it was slightly subdued and a little quiet, but something about it just clicked with me and for whatever reason that was the only convincing I needed. I have been a Haim fan since the beginning, but their sophomore album was a supreme disappointment to me. That, and they were touring with Taylor Swift. Pass. But this rock trio of sisters have managed to redeem themselves in my eyes!
Read moreFargo – Season 4, Episode 8
Well, well, well. Things have finally taken a turn for the interesting on Fargo, and I’m here for it! There were apparitions, backstabbing, and (unexpected) reunions. I won’t keep you hanging!
