Since The Queen’s Gambit came out a couple months ago, I have yet to see a bad or even somewhat disappointed review for it. Now I understand why! This was one of the strongest series I’ve ever watched and it was something I know next to nothing about: chess! This, coupled with Ted Lasso, proves that if a show is written and acted really well, then it doesn’t matter how seemingly boring your subject matter is. If you would have told me at the start of the year that the best fictionalized television I would watch was about soccer and chess I would have laughed in your face. They have proven me wrong.

The Undoing Miniseries Review
I’ve only recently been able to enjoy what HBO Max has to offer, but so far it has not been disappointing! Yes, I missed the initial run of this superstar miniseries, The Undoing, when it first premiered on HBO, but I’m really not that far off the rest of the world so kudos to me. The six episodes had me guessing, and that made for a very entertaining ride.
Read moreCobra Kai Season 2 Review
I stretched the second season of Cobra Kai out a little bit compared to the first, but it was no less exciting or awesome! The second season essentially picks up right were the first season left off, with Kresse showing up at Johnny’s Cobra Kai dojo and Sam joining Miyagi-Do. Where this season ends is really crazy, so I’m glad I don’t have much of a wait for the third season to premiere on Netflix!
Read moreBig Sky – Winter Finale Review
Only five episodes in and we’ve already reached rookie show, Big Sky‘s winter finale. That’s right, we’ve got to wait a whole agonizing month (my sister’s words, not mine) to figure out what the heck is going to come after that insane cliffhanger! More on that in just a bit.
Read moreCobra Kai Season 1
Back a few years ago when the first season of Cobra Kai hit Youtube Red, it was a certified hit. Sure, it hit all the nostalgic notes, but it also managed to produce something totally new without a reboot. It sparked my interest, but I never wanted to pay for the subscription. Then it moved to Netflix for its upcoming third season and the show made my shortlist! Being a fan of The Karate Kid, I had decent expectations for this show.
Read moreBig Sky – Episodes 3 & 4 Recap
Alright, I clearly suck at watching this show in a timely manner, but I promise I’ll do better! Even though there is only one more episode of Big Sky set to air before its “winter break,” I still promise to have it reviewed on Wednesday! I swear it!
Read moreBlack Narcissus Miniseries Review
A couple of weeks ago, FX premiered an excellent British drama called Black Narcissus, and I was hooked from the start. I was actually quite sad that it was only three parts. In an interesting move on FX’s part, all three episodes aired back to back. I didn’t watch these live, so it had no impact on me, but I still thought it was an interesting move.
Read moreEscape at Dannemora Miniseries Review
Back in 2018 when this highly praised miniseries, Escape at Dannemora, came out I had watched the first two episodes because, you know, free Showtime. After that, it just sort of fell off my radar. I knew with the caliber of actors in the show that it would do well during awards season, and it did! Sometimes that’s all I need to know. Also, the show itself wasn’t that big of a mystery since it was based on real life events that took place only a few years prior.
Read moreFargo Season 4 Finale
Eleven weeks have come and gone, and we all finally got to see the conclusion of Fargo‘s fourth season. Sure, overall it was my least favorite season, but that certainly doesn’t mean it wasn’t great television! It was a remarkable season in its own right and fit in well with the rest of the Fargo catalog. Here we go!
Read moreBig Sky Episodes 1 & 2
Apologies for my lack of urgency with watching this new ABC series, Big Sky, but I did eventually and it was worth the wait! This crime drama is based off a novel called The Highway written by C.J. Box and follows private detectives with messy and entwined personal lives as they try and find missing girls kidnapped on a remote highway in Montana. Just so you know, there will be some serious SPOILERS ahead, so beware.
