https://youtu.be/jYvHxEEgrPA 4.5/10 Tied for my lowest score along with the first season of “Jessica Jones”, the sole limited series in the Netflix Marvel universe could have been an epic collaboration between all of our heroes. With Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, the Iron Fist and supporting players like Stick, Colleen Wing, Claire Temple and the … Continue reading The Defenders Season 1

https://youtu.be/c2PchbYE774 5.5/10 After a horrible debut season (2.5/10) followed by an incredible sophomore effort (8/10), the third and final season of the rebooted 1980s series wound up in the middle and as I predicted in my season two review, succumbed to having too many episodes. While season two went with the “less is more” approach … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 3 (1988-1989)

https://youtu.be/LLQNiiZgz9A 5/10 Well it was bound to happen eventually. After three straight, insanely consistent seasons of an 8/10 score across the board, the fourth season lost momentum and hit a big slump. While most shows have their ups and downs and this might be the lone disappointing season, I have another theory as to why … Continue reading Yellowstone Season 4

https://youtu.be/qfyjWtMZx-g 8/10 After a disastrous debut season for this revival of Rod Serling’s classic television show, I was pleasantly shocked at what a huge upgrade this season was over season one (2.5/10). I complained about inconsistency in the first season since it was the first season without Serling’s singular vision. Part of what makes this … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 2 (1986-1987)

https://youtu.be/I1hNAIzkQWY 7.5/10 From executive producer Robert Zemeckis, who has some experience with both aircraft stories (“Flight”) and time traveling (“Back to the Future” trilogy), comes “Manifest”; a show about Flight 828 which vanishes on a return flight back from Jamaica with all passengers presumed dead. Five years later, the plane touches down as if nothing … Continue reading Manifest Season 1

https://youtu.be/rK_Gf9H2CWI 5/10 In honor of the midterm election today, I thought I would review a limited series that was political in nature. I’m sure leading up to the 2024 Presidential election that I will finally get around to reviewing “The West Wing”. Until then, I thought I’d take a look at the HBO docuseries from … Continue reading Q: Into the Storm Season 1

https://youtu.be/2tb9ENbFWvQ 1/10 Well another October draws to a close as I picked some Halloween/scary themed streaming movies and shows to review to get me in the festive, holiday spirit. When the cheesy but fun “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” season 2 ends up being the highlight of the month, you know you are really suffering for … Continue reading Resident Evil Season 1

https://youtu.be/0Kew2MnI2hg 5/10 Back during the lockdowns of 2020 (I wish I could forget), a friend recommended this as one of her favorite shows so I watched the debut season. It was silly and cheesy but enjoyable if you keep your expectations in check and enjoy the characters, who were a lot of fun. Since the … Continue reading Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2

https://youtu.be/fCGBZvcbzsI 6/10 Following 2021’s incredible documentary “The Rescue” (9/10) and this year’s Hollywood film from Ron Howard “Thirteen Lives” (7.5/10) comes this six episode, limited series on Netflix, “Thai Cave Rescue”. I was initially horrified when I found out about this series solely because it had the name Jon M. Chu attached to it. Chu … Continue reading Thai Cave Rescue Season 1

https://youtu.be/AIVJzmVUU1w 2.5/10 After taking a look at “The Twilight Zone” from the late 1950’s into the 1960’s, the second iteration of the show debuted in 1985 and ran for three seasons. I am hoping things improve since this first season was an absolute disaster. The biggest problem with this first season can be summed up … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 1 (1985-1986)
