I am not sure why I found this so hilariously funny – the jokes weren’t particularly sophisticated and the situations weren’t that funny (were they?), but I often had to pause this show because I was laughing so hard. The premise is simple – Jen is a twenty-five year old in a world where pretty …
After the events of The Suicide Squad (great movie), Peacemaker is recruited to join a group of off-the-books spies investigating nefarious goings on. It’s a comedy, but wasn’t quite as funny as I thought it would be, especially given the very funny dance sequence opening credits. Deals with what is acceptable in the fight against …
The first few episodes are so confusing the only reaction can be “dafuq???” But it is compelling, with interesting characters, so hang on – the pieces start fitting together and wrap up in a perfect egg of a story. Worth the price of admission just to learn about the Black Marshall – Bass Reeves, who …
Part of the Defenders group of mild super hero shows. Gritty, hard-drinking female superhero surrounded by interesting female characters. It starts slow, stick with it. Season One featured one of the creepiest villains ever, played by the charming David Tennant. Season Two suffered by comparison without a great villain. Seasons Two and Three did not …
Part of the Defenders group of mild super hero shows. Luke Cage was introduced in Jessica Jones – his own series shines not only because of the good story but it was also such a treat to see so many phenomenal African American actors. Starts slow.
The first of the Avengers, post-Endgame shows. Each episode is a send up of television history, moving from the 1950s through the decades – a sitcom starring Wanda Maximoff and Vision as a perfect TV couple in a perfect suburban town, with a nosy neighbor and wacky hijinks. But of course there is something else …
Post-Endgame, Sam (The Falcon) and Bucky (The Winter Soldier) work to find their place in a world and together without Steve Rogers. Bucky is still struggling with the fallout from being a bad guy for nearly a hundred years, while Sam deals with pervasive racism. Complex, interesting storytelling that explores the legacy of Captain America …
Post-Endgame, Loki finds himself an involuntary “guest” of the Time Variance Authority, a mysterious organization that monitors the timeline and removes unwanted variations. Well made, with excellent acting, but the action dragged and the plot could be difficult to follow.
Post-Endgame, Clint Barton (Hawkeye) tries to live life as a private family man and forget the more troubling parts of his past. The past catches up to him during a family vacation to New York, and he partners with a young woman who has always idolized him to solve a mystery and kick some butt. …
This show is great, but really, really confusing (hence the high emo score). It must be binged. The Interwebz tells me that this is an X-Men spinoff. It tells the story of David Haller (yes, that’s Dan Stevens). David is insane, or maybe he isn’t. He might or might not have special powers. He sees …
