So I just caught up with the latest episode of Falcon and the Winter Solider, and there was a few plot points that really intrigued me. Baron Zemo continues to quietly steal every scene, the conflicts with Shuri were intense and beautifully choreographed, and the insight into how the Blip had affected world migration highlighted…

I’ve just finished the second episode of The Falcon and the Winter Solider, and while I’d like to say that this show has grabbed me as much as Wandavision, but it’s hasn’t really hooked me yet. The first episode was something of a rocky start; it was a good move to give each character some…

SPOILERS AHEAD! YE BE WARNED! My wife and I are still talking about the final episode of the Wandavision series, debating what worked, what didn’t work and teasing out all the little clues as to where the overarching story is heading next. Bring on Dr Strange! Agatha really stole the show in the last couple…

I am super excited that season 2 of The Promised Neverland has just dropped, partly because my wife hasn’t read the manga so I can’t talk to her about the series without spoiling anything, and because I think this series has some of the best construction of tension that I’ve ever seen. So, for anyone…

My wife and I have really been enjoying Wandavision, and I was all set to write a review of the first few episodes, but then I stumbled upon the trailer for the new Superman and Lois series, which left me feeling empty. So why did one superhero series really grab me and the other completely miss?…

My wife and I are huge suckers for a well-made period drama. Pride and Prejudice, North & South, Phillipa Gregory’s amazing White Queen, White Princess, Spanish Princess – we’ve loved them all. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the alternative-history drama Bridgerton, but I’m glad I gave it a go.   For anyone who hasn’t yet had a chance to check it out, Bridgerton is a romance set in 1813 where several landed…

When fans try and describe Farscape, the feature of the show that comes up again and again is Insanity. The slow descent into madness by the main character, marooned astronaut John Crichton, was as much a central story arc as his hidden knowledge of wormhole space travel or his romance with Peacekeeper Aeryn Sun.       …

So this week I’ve turned back the clock to 2002 to watch a few episodes of an old favorite: Firefly. This Sci-fi/Western was one of Joss Whedon’s most beloved television series, and, like its namesake, was the most short-lived.   For any who haven’t yet watched the show, Firefly is set in the year 2517,…

Hi all, I’ve been blown away by the response for reviews of the best written X-Files episodes! I will eventually get through them all, but I want to start with season six’s “The Drive,” written by Vince Gilligan.  This episode starts with a short news report about a crazy man who has stolen a car and taken a woman…

I know I’ve already written about Fringe, and one day I’ll write a little something on the Twilight Zone, but in the 1990s there was an undisputed king of dark, moody sci-fi: The X-Files.   You can already hear the music, can’t you?   Developed by Chris Carter and airing in 1993, The X-Files took inspiration from earlier sci-fi…
