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.

A 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.
Read morePEN15 Seasons 1 and 2A
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.
Read moreCamping Series Review
Now that I’ve got access to HBO Max and it’s massive catalog of content, I have been living my best life and watching shows that have always appealed to me in the past but were always just out of reach. Enter: Camping! This eight episode, half hour comedy touted an excellent cast and that’s really all I needed to want to tune in. Let’s dive in.
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.
Read moreEveryone 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 more9-1-1 Lone Star: Winter Finale
I realize it is technically still winter, but we’re already a couple of weeks into March! Blame COVID, I suppose. Anyways, I know I missed out on the last several 9-1-1 Lone Star reviews, so I figured I should get you up to speed!
Read moreWandaVision Series Review
Well, well, well. After a whole year absent of anything Marvel, the fourth phase officially kicked off with their first ever television series, WandaVision! And the stars of this series? Wanda and the very much dead Vision…or so we think? I would suspect that it comes as no surprise to audiences that Vision is in fact still dead, and that this is just Wanda’s way of coping with her grief. But she does so in a very interesting…and morally questionable way.
Read moreEnlisted TV Review
Somehow, I must have really sheltered myself from good TV back from 2013-2015. That’s seems to be the only way I can explain why I never watched Hannibal, and I why I missed out on this too short-lived comedy, Enlisted. Since I am a big fan of the movie 4th Man Out, Parker Young recently posted about a reunion the cast is getting together for coming up in the next couple weeks that I found myself eager to attend. Only thing is, I needed to watch the show first!
