https://youtu.be/FwiU4O5Cxrc 6/10 Continuing through my Judd Apatow related works (I reviewed “Freaks and Geeks” and “Undeclared” earlier this year) has brought me to the Netflix original series “Love” starring Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust about the ups and downs of a relationship and navigating dating, sex, love and everything in between in today’s modern world. … Continue reading Love Season 1

https://youtu.be/l4mY2asIjWk 3/10 Reuniting star Steve Carell and “The Office” creator Greg Daniels sounds like a match made in Heaven…or at least space, right? “The Office” is a hilarious show and although it ran out of steam near the end from going on too long and losing Carell, when the show was in its prime, it … Continue reading Space Force Season 1

https://youtu.be/MJqHpN9b0U4 2.5/10 I wanted to watch one horror show in honor of Halloween this year. Despite really wanting to check out “The Haunting of Hill House” followed by “The Haunting of Bly Manor”, I decided to check out “Ju-On: Origins” only due to the fact that I saw 2020’s “The Grudge” as only the third … Continue reading Ju-On: Origins Season 1

https://youtu.be/aOC8E8z_ifw 8.5/10 At the time of posting this review, we are one week out from the premiere of season two so I figured it was time to take the plunge into a galaxy far, far away. While Kathleen Kennedy was busy doing her best to destroy the Star Wars franchise by way of new films … Continue reading The Mandalorian Season 1

https://youtu.be/3QPZLx_EIaY 9.5/10 “Devs” was my #1 most anticipated new television show of 2020 and after having finally watched it, it seems I made the right call. Coming from the brilliant mind of writer/director Alex Garland (“Ex Machina”, “Annihilation”), I’ve been a fan of his screenwriting since before he started directing but once he switched into … Continue reading Devs Season 1

https://youtu.be/Lordk1Kz2gc 7.5/10 Where the first three seasons of the original “The Twilight Zone” had 24-minute-long episodes, season four changed things up and expanded them to 50 minutes long and cut the number of episodes in half. I was initially worried that for episodes that were bad, they would feel like an eternity since even some … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 4 (1963)

10/10 In the years of officially reviewing films and TV shows, I have given out a few 10/10 to some select films and although I have come close, no TV show had been bestowed my highest honor…until now. HBO’s “Chernobyl” is a five-episode miniseries that premiered in May of 2019, following the atrocious final season … Continue reading Chernobyl Season 1

5/10 After an uptick in overall quality for season two, season three unfortunately slips back down to where season one ended up, in the mediocre category. It seems that for every solid episode this season, there was a dud to balance it out. The scope even felt slightly smaller this season (perhaps to save money) … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 3 (1961-1962)

7/10 Following up “Freaks and Geeks”, Judd Apatow graduated from high school to college with this single season comedy series from 20 years ago. While not as good as “Freaks and Geeks”, this is a still a good show that comes from the same DNA and therefore has some positive similarities which strengthen the show. … Continue reading Undeclared Season 1

6/10 From Christopher Guest, the writer/director behind classic mockumentaries such as “Waiting for Guffman”, “This is Spinal Tap” and “Best in Show”, takes his material to an HBO television series for the first time, abandoning his normal, hour and a half theatrical films. The overall result is a mixed bag but still enjoyable. The most … Continue reading Family Tree Season 1
