Finally, I am putting my Showtime subscription to good use! Back when I had the service briefly in 2020, Kidding was totally worth my time, but I ran out of it for this lauded comedy. I know Black Monday recently aired its third season, but I had to start from the top, and it’s been a pretty fun ride so far.

Weekly Dramatic Television Recap
A little late in the week, I know, but that doesn’t mean I still can’t catch you up to speed on what went down this week on Animal Kingdom and Roswell, New Mexico. Enough chit-chat and let’s get on with it!
Read moreYour Honor Limited Series Review
Back at the end of 2020 and start of 2021 when the limited series, Your Honor, aired, I was really bummed I didn’t have Showtime at the time. Well, now that I have it and have seen this series, I can say that it wasn’t totally worth it. That’s right, even a series with the mob, murder, and Bryan Cranston couldn’t make it land with me.
Read moreSummer of Dramatic Television
Just because it’s summertime doesn’t mean there’s nothing on TV! It probably also helps that the pandemic severely delayed some shows. For instance, I get new Animal Kingdom and Roswell, New Mexico because of it! Not that I’m all that happy that things got delayed, but I’m glad everyone stayed safe, employed, and managed to produce some good television at the end of it all. Let’s get into it then, shall we?
Read moreLoki Season 1 Review
It’s sort of crazy to think that Loki is the third Marvel series to wrap up this year already! Right off the bat I’m going to tell you that it still doesn’t beat out WandaVision as my favorite Marvel television offering, but it’s got Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, so it’s up there. Be warned there are some spoilers ahead!
Read moreSpecial – Season 2 Review (Final Season)
Ugh! I feel like eons have passed since the first season of this delightful comedy aired, and now I learn this is the only other season I’ll ever get of Special?! Not cool. But, I mean…it is cool there are new episodes to be had. Brilliant in it’s own unique way, Special follows Ryan, a gay man with mild cerebral palsy and how he navigates life professionally and personally.
Read moreMosaic – Television Film Review
Is it a show or is it a movie? I mean, in the linear version of Mosaic, it’s broken down into six, 50-ish minute parts, so in my mind it’s a show. However, when each bit starts, HBO tells me I’m watching a movie. Who knows! What I do know is that when Mosaic emerged in 2018, it was very unique for the time. It originally aired on apps, where you could pick a path would alter what things you saw. The plotline itself really didn’t change, but the perspective could, which means you could discover certain things not available from other perspectives.
Read moreLos Espookys Season 1
I love me a good subtitled movie, so there’s no doubt that I would love a subtitled show! Los Espookys is primarily a Spanish series about a group of friends just out trying to scare people.
Read moreLooking – The Series & Movie
Ever since watching Jonathan Groff in Glee, he’s always been on my radar, but I had never really given any of his other stand-out projects a chance. Now, I don’t know that I will ever watch Hamilton or Frozen (just not a fan of musicals or kids movies), but I did want to check out his critically acclaimed show, Looking, while I still had the chance. Unfortunately, despite it’s great reviews, the viewership was low enough that it got cancelled after two seasons, although HBO was gracious enough to let them tie up their story with a movie. So I watched it all!
Read moreOlive Kitteridge
My mom is the one who originally brought this miniseries to my attention, and after way too many years of living life HBO-less, I’ve finally made the viewing of Olive Kitteridge a priority in my life. Honestly, it was worth the wait!
