This week in the world of network dramas saw a penultimate episode, a season finale, and a series finale – very exciting stuff! And of course, this wouldn’t be a drama series review if these shows didn’t bring some drama. Which they did.

A Week of Dramas
It’s getting down to the wire for my weekly dramas, so of course they were even more dramatic! In fact, to even add to the drama, Prodigal Son went ahead and got itself cancelled. They better have a dang good finale next week. Regardless, let’s see what went down this week.
Read moreCommunity – Season 1
Of all the long-lasting comedy television legacies out there, for whatever reason, Community finally stood out to me as the one to watch. It probably also helped that it originally started airing in 2009 and that it was all available on Netflix, but who’s counting? Anyway, I’m glad I made the foray into this show, because it is truly hilarious!
Read moreOh, the Drama!
That’s right, I’m through my weekly primetime dramas, so it’s time to recap all that went down!
Read moreFrank of Ireland – Season 1
If it’s a comedy and it’s got Domhnall Gleeson? Count me in!
Read moreRussian Doll – Season 1
Here I am, slowly making my way through a very long list of shows. What prompted me to watch Russian Doll? Well, for one thing, it’s a comedy/drama, which is right in my wheelhouse, it stars Natasha Lyonne, whose comedy chops I really enjoy, and finally, this first season is only eight episodes! I love something short and quality! And according to the critics, this show is very high quality. I also found out recently that they are finally shooting the promised second season, so I might as well gear up.
Read moreI Know This Much is True – Book & Miniseries Review
Whew! About about a month ago I sat down to watch the HBO miniseries starring my main man, Mark Ruffalo, as twins in I Know This Much is True. After finishing all six installments, I really liked it and decided to bite the bullet and read the 900 page book of the same name. I figured with that much in writing, the show surely missed details, but I was wrong!
Read moreSilicon Valley – Season 1
After spending some quality time with dramatic shows and movies, I’ve decided there are still so many excellent comedies out there that I’ve never had time to dedicate to! In that case, I made the executive decision to start an HBO classic, Silicon Valley. A good friend of mine recommended this to me a while back, and she clearly knows me well, because I found this first season pretty darn hilarious.
Read moreA Discovery of Witches – Season 1
I first heard about A Discovery of Witches, based on Deborah Harkness’ All Souls trilogy, back in 2018 just before it was about to come out. Unfortunately, it wasn’t going to be available on anything I was already paying for, so I vowed to watch it some day in the future. Well, enough of the future has passed that the second season has already came and went, so I decided it was time to make it happen! That, and a friend of mine declared how much she liked it.
Read moreDes Miniseries Review
It’s been a bit of a week, but I managed to squeeze in Des, a creepy and disturbing three-part miniseries about real life Scottish serial killer, Dennis Nilsen. After being shown an add for this show countless times (they know me so well) and my recent watch of David Tennant in Camping, I felt like I had to give this short series a go. It was well worth the watch, and just like any other serial killer you’ve heard about, their gruesome acts are still endlessly fascinating.
