I didn’t think it was possible for The Morning Show to be more chaotic than its first season, but they proved me wrong. Now, just because it was more chaotic doesn’t mean it was any less entertaining. Less satisfying? Maybe. But let’s dig into that below.

Schmigadoon! Season 1 Review
When I first heard about Schmigadoon! coming to Apple+ I was excited by the cast, but then I learned it would be a musical and I swiftly changed my mind. But you know, maybe I’m coming around to musicals. I did just recently enjoy Tick, Tick…Boom! but I suppose I shouldn’t go making assumptions.
Read moreMythic Quest Season 2 Review
This time around Mythic Quest decided to drop Raven’s Banquet from their name, but that’s mainly because they’re looking to make a new game in the second season of this Apple+ comedy.

All things considered, I’m a little shocked I was able to squeeze in my standard three movies for the weekend! And with that, they all managed to be pretty darn entertaining.
Read moreNostalgic Movie Weekend
I say nostalgic because most of what I watched was on the older side. Some were new to me, while others I just revisited, but you know I made time for some new films, too. Who would I be if I didn’t? Let’s take a stroll down memory lane first.
Read moreServant Season 2
Ah this show! Perhaps this half hour horror/drama is something I would like to binge all at once. Each episode of Servant is suspenseful, and the past few weeks I was so bummed I had to wait a whole week for the next installment. To be fair, when I started the second season five episodes in, I had totally forgot that Apple+ aired their shows weekly. I guess that’s what I get for watching a bunch of their first season shows all at once.

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.”
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 moreBook Review: Defending Jacob by William Landay
It’s been a short while since I watched Apple +’s adaptation of Defending Jacob, a novel written by William Landay. Since I’ve been burned this year by reading before watching, I decided to finally follow my old advice and read the book after I’ve watched the show. This is crucial! Personally, I am never disappointed by a book whenever I read it, but I am always disappointed by a show or film if I’ve watched it after reading. There is just no way for them to capture all the details that make a novel special.
Read moreDefending Jacob Miniseries Review
I keep chugging along through shows with my new Apple+ subscription, and next on my list was a show I was really excited about when I first saw an advertisement for it, Defending Jacob. Sure, it’s got everyone’s favorite Captain America, Chris Evans, and Downton Abbey‘s Michelle Dockery, but the premise just sounded so intriguing that I was going to watch it regardless of its leads.
