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.

Fargo – Season 4, Episode 8
Well, well, well. Things have finally taken a turn for the interesting on Fargo, and I’m here for it! There were apparitions, backstabbing, and (unexpected) reunions. I won’t keep you hanging!
Read moreWorkaholics Season 3
I feel like I’ve grown to love Workaholics much sooner than I did for the last long-running comedy I watched, but I suppose it’s easier to relate to these guys because they are in their 20s and in an office setting. I mean….that’s probably all I can relate to because their personal lives are a tornado and that’s just not me, but their antics make for some amazing comedy. Most of the scenes that have me laughing the hardest are completely unexpected and it elicits a surprised burst of laughter from me. Kudos to them because I feel like that’s hard to do!
Read moreFargo – Season 4, Episode 5
Just about at the half-way mark of this season of Fargo and the crazy is picking up even more! I imagine soon we’ll have a big shootout, and at this point I can’t even imagine who the survivors would be.
Read moreThe Boys – Season 2, Episode 7
So many exploding heads! Or crushed heads? I’m still convinced that the escapee from last week’s hospital encounter is behind this somehow. And come on, from a show like The Boys, does exploding heads really seem like that big of a surprise? Well, it shouldn’t if you’ve been watching.
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.
Read moreThe Boys – Season 2, Episode 5
So much happens in these hour-long episodes that I fear some day I’m going to miss something huge. I guess in order to combat that I over-explain a little bit, so sue me! Either way, this is a review of the fifth episode of The Boys, and spoilers may be below. You’ve been warned!
Read moreThe Morning Show Review
Alright, I have finally caved and subscribed to Apple+ in order to watch the last series I wanted to get to before the Emmys air this Sunday, The Morning Show. Look, when this show first got announced, I dug into my hipster way and refused to watch because of some of the cast. Yes, I am a big fan of Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass, but Jennifer Aniston and Resse Witherspoon are just slightly overrated in my opinion and that was enough to turn me off initially. That coupled with all the hype around the show also turned me off. Sometimes excitement about a show gets me excited about it, but sometimes it has the opposite effect on me. Go figure. Regardless of how I felt then, though, I really, really enjoyed The Morning Show and I’m glad I finally gave it a viewing!
Read moreThe Boys – Season 2, Episode 4
Alright, just starting this off by saying there will be SPOILERS about the fourth episode of The Boys‘ second season. There. You’ve been warned. I also wanted to let you all know that you technically don’t have to wait until Friday to watch the new episodes! Both this week and last, these gems were available on Thursday night, and not at midnight – several hours beforehand! So be impatient like me and get the up and up on everyone else.
Read moreUnbelievable Miniseries Review
This is going to sound tired, I’m sure (especially since it’s been out for almost a year), but Unbelievable was unbelievable! Unbelievably good that it! Yes, you can take that corny admission for what it’s worth, but I’m not joking. Following the true story of two cops who try to take down a Washington State and Colorado serial rapist, this story was gripping! At this point I feel that the show has been on Netflix long enough that if you haven’t watched it yet you might not ever (excluding me, of course), so prepare yourself for spoilers!
