Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire – Season 1 Review

November 9, 2022November 9, 2022admin

Now, for those that do not have AMC+, there will be SPOILERS ahead for the first season of the televised adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire.

There, now that you’ve been sufficiently warned, let’s get into it. Of course, I will be making comparisons to the 1994 film of the same name I only recently watched, but you’ll have to wait for me to actually read the book before I can compare the show to its source material. Regardless, it does seem that both critics and fans of the novels were also big fans of this series. I, myself, was also quite intrigued with this series and frankly I’m bummed that I now have to wait god knows how long for the second season (already renewed, by the way). Oh well, let’s talk about what went down.

Love, Victor – Final Season Review

September 27, 2022September 27, 2022admin

You read that right, this most-recent, third season of Love, Victor is indeed its last. Based off the novel and then the movie of the same name Love, Simon, we’ve followed Victor over the course of the most personally eventful year (YEAR?!) of his life.

All the Things of LA

Another year, another 72 hours in sunny Los Angeles, California. To be fair, it was still sunny at home, too, but this had the promise of a bunch of fun things. Now, I’m going to recap it all for you!

Cobra Kai Season 5 Review

Alright, so I didn’t watch the latest season of Cobra Kai when it dropped on Netflix this past Friday, but you bet I binged it all in two days time.

I know it’s a few days late now, but the Emmys were on this past Monday, and it just proves to me again why awards season is my favorite season!

Roswell, New Mexico – Final Season Review

September 8, 2022September 8, 2022admin

Truthfully, I’m shocked this show ever even got four seasons, but that doesn’t mean I’m still not sad that it’s really over. Yes, the lucky wave that Roswell, New Mexico has been able to ride for the past four seasons is finally over.

The Bear – Season 1 Review

September 2, 2022September 2, 2022admin

I have finally made time for this critically and commercially adored FX original for Hulu! Seriously, The Bear is still holding onto a 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and I’ve seen nary one bad review, from both professionals and friends alike. That’s high praise!

Tokyo Vice – Season 1 Review

There was a lot going on in this taut crime drama, Tokyo Vice. It is the last on my list of HBO Max shows, for now, and this show delivered a strong finish.

The Tourist – Season 1 Review

August 14, 2022August 14, 2022admin

What a fun series! I initially saw that this series was intended to be one and done, but not long after it premiered, The Tourist got renewed. While this show definitely had an ending, I think there’s certainly enough left open-ended to revisit these characters.

Landscapers Miniseries Review

August 10, 2022August 10, 2022admin

Man, this miniseries, Landscapers, had a lot going for it. Firstly, it was only four episodes and I learned it was based off a true story that broke fairly recently. It also starred the fabulous Olivia Coleman and the delightful David Thewlis. These are all wins in my book, but sadly, it just never quite lived up to my expectations.
