Cleopatra In Space Clearly Had Fans Rooting For It Cleopatra in Space is baffling on every level. Someone with deep pockets or a large group of people clearly loves this idea/story/concept so much that they have thrown an inordinate number of resources at it. The animation? Shockingly good. You can tell that the underlying technology… Read More »
[embedded content] Starfleet Academy Has A Clear Path For Its Stories I wonder if episodes of Starfleet Academy took Star Trek concepts and tried to find ways to make them fit into generic college/high school plots, or if the show started with those tropes and then figured out how to make them fit the world… Read More »
This series has its problems, but I still love the concept and the acting is top notch. It’s an amazing example of how to write a slow-burn tragedy.

[embedded content] Wonder Man Pulls Off A Risky Establishing Scene Never have I cringed so hard at the first moments (after a flashback) of a great show than Wonder Man. Though it establishes Simon as our main character effectively, it’s mostly focusing on his flaws, and they are brutal flaws for someone in his life… Read More »
Extraordinary Gets A Lot Out Of Its Tropey Premise Extraordinary is well-named. It indeed does go beyond what you would expect of a raunchy comedy, especially given the initial premise. I wouldn’t blame you if you’re tired of a show where everyone has superpowers, but I promise this one does use the concept for more… Read More »
I still, to this day, think about this series. The mystery does fall apart a lot in the later episodes (I’m not sure you could guess the killer if you tried) but the acting remains incredible.

[embedded content] The Gorge Wastes Several Amazing Horror Scenes The Gorge is one of the best cosmic horror movies I have ever seen—for the very short time that it actually allows itself to be one. The other (much bigger) part of the movie is a mess.Full of weird decisions, a baffling ending, and so much… Read More »
[embedded content] The First Snow of Fraggle Rock Is For Series Fans The First Snow of Fraggle Rock is super cute, but it’s not what I hoped it would be. I assumed that this was an introduction to whatever Fraggle Rock is for people who have never seen it—which includes me. And while the opening… Read More »
[embedded content] The Sisters Grimm Is A Strong Little Fantasy Series The Sisters Grimm is a charming little cartoon that basically succeeds at everything it’s trying to do and does so with a surprising level of detail and consideration. Like, you know this type of story—it’s just usually a story for older audiences. A person… Read More »
[embedded content] WondLa Understands Expostion Better Than Most WondLa is what a children’s television series should aspire to be. It’s kid-friendly but doesn’t disrespect its audience. It uses tropes but doesn’t fall into them completely. Despite having a very fleshed-out world to build, it doesn’t stop and shove exposition. At every point in the first… Read More »
