I…think I’m kind of over the whole You universe brought to us by Caroline Kepnes. It’s in that weird stage now where the show is a season ahead and not at all what the latest novel, For You and Only You, was about. Granted, I have no clue what Kepnes’ involvement with the show is and I realize that most adaptations don’t follow the source material closely at all, but still. It’s odd.

Book Review: A Nearly Normal Family by M.T. Edvardsson
I’ve finally decided to start working through all the books I’ve bought myself over the years that have been sitting on me shelf untouched. This novel by M.T. Edvardsson, like most of my other purchases, have been bargain bin finds, with blurbs intriguing enough for me to purchase. A Nearly Normal Family fit that mold, with its unsettling mystery at the center.
Read moreFull Circle Miniseries Review
I suppose Steven Soderbergh’s latest miniseries, Full Circle, has double meaning in its title. The first is that events from the past are coming back around again some twenty years later and the other is literal circles. We’ll get into that, though.
Read moreKinnPorsche The Series La Forte – Season 1 Review
Alright, I know probably nothing of that name makes a lot of sense, and it didn’t make any sense to me either when the Youtube algorithm presented some fan made clip to me. Well, the contents of the clip and a quick Google search was all the convincing I needed to give the Thai crime drama, KinnPorsche The Series La Forte, a chance.
Read moreBook Review: The Midnight Witness by Sara Blaedel
Sometimes you win with bargain book purchases, but sometimes you find mediocre ones. This was one of those times.

Read moreTribeca Film Festival (at Home) 2023
It took some back brain searching, but I do remember the Tribeca Film Festival having a rather disappointing At Home section last year. This year’s offerings are slightly more robust, and there were some gems to be had. Be on the lookout for these films later this year.
Read moreBlack Bird Miniseries Review
This drama miniseries was on my watch-list as soon as I heard about it, and now that I have Apple+ again and both the Golden Globes and Critic’s Choice awarded Paul Walter Hauser, I knew I had to start it ASAP.
Read moreBook Review: Exiles by Jane Harper
This new Aaron Falk tale, Exiles, by Jane Harper is pretty dang fresh off the presses! So I promise, no big spoilers coming your way.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
It was a busy weekend for me, which meant not too much time for movies. That makes me sad, but sometimes that happens. Anyway, here’s what made it in.
Read moreAmerican Rust – Season 1 Review
With my black Friday deal of Showtime coming to a close, I decided to squeeze in another show. I remember at the time thinking that American Rust was Showtime’s attempt at Mare of Easttown. It might have been, but it sure didn’t live up to it.
