Ever since this Hulu comedy aired, I seen nothing but praise for it, so I figured it was finally time to check PEN15 out! Straight off the bat I could understand why critics loved this show, but I imagine the casual viewer was probably extremely uncomfortable by most of this show. I personally found myself somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, although the first half of the second season really got me hooked.

Everyone is Doing Great – Season 1
You know, this is the second show in a short amount of time that really impressed me because of how well they represented a good friendship. And a male friendship at that! In the first, and hopefully not last, season of Everyone is Doing Great, we see to men in their late twenties really just learning to grow up. This show came as a recommendation that I was a little hesitant to watch but found that I really, really enjoyed it!
Read moreA Teacher Miniseries Review
FX on Hulu’s A Teacher, is a drama adapted from a movie of the same name, but starring a few more recognizable names and the ability to flesh the story out a bit more. I think this would have to be every filmmakers dream. Getting to tell a story that you’re passionate about in two different channels has to feel good. There were also enough years separating the two that creator, Hannah Fidell, could take the time to figure out parts she wanted to explore more deeply, or add more fine details to certain scenes.

Some new, some old, some new to me…a cornucopia of films this weekend! I’d say I’ve primed myself nicely for this holiday weekend’s viewing standards.
Read moreWorkaholics Season 1
It’s been a while since my run with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, so I decided to tackle another long-running comedy that’s been on my bucket list for quite some time. And that show is Workaholics! I’ve seen a lot of things these guys have been in separately, so it was just a matter of time before I got to watch this show. Worth the wait for sure, and that’s only after ten episodes!

After three long years and a coronavirus setback later, the fourth season of Fargo has finally arrived! And while I approached it with some trepidation seeing Chris Rock as the top billing, I still have so much faith in this season being as fantastic as the rest. They surely started off well! With the slight cliffhanger at the end of the second episode, it’s definitely left me itching for more. Without giving everything away, here’s a high level overview of what went down in the season premiere.

I don’t know that anything I watched this weekend I planned on watching, but I have zero regrets about any of them. All were practically spur of the moment, with a few that I’d never even really heard of before. They also covered a wide array of genres which always makes for an entertaining time. I would say if you picked any of these films to watch in the future you won’t be let down. I promise!

The beat goes on with my attempt to watch more of the Emmy nominees before the actual Emmy Awards ceremony airs on September 20th. So with that, I landed on FX for Hulu’s nine part miniseries, Mrs. America. Talk about a star-studded affair! Even the small parts were played by well-known actors!
Read moreLittle Fires Everywhere Miniseries Review
It took me longer than it should have, but I finally finished watching the miniseries adaptation of Celeste Ng’s novel, Little Fires Everywhere. Ultimately, I think it took me so long because I didn’t really find it all that enjoyable. Maybe it’s because I read the book first, or because I didn’t wait long enough in between reading it and watching it that it didn’t feel fresh or compelling? Those are both very valid reasons, and probably both true to some degree. Let’s dig in a little bit.
