https://youtu.be/Lordk1Kz2gc 4.5/10 I find it appropriate that my last review of 2020 should be the final season of the original series of “The Twilight Zone”, since this is a year that feels like it came out of this series. Unfortunately for this season, I found it to be the weakest of all five seasons, all … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 5 (1963-1964)

https://youtu.be/eW7Twd85m2g 7/10 A step down from its debut season, “The Mandalorian” season 2 excels in some areas and is certainly fun to watch but the formulaic writing, filler episodes and fan service ultimately takes the show down a few notches. The first season was more so able to get away with what I will refer … Continue reading The Mandalorian Season 2

https://youtu.be/6tefAUunOU0 5/10 Well after the first season showed some great potential, the second season fails to live up to it as what worked and didn’t work in season one are essentially repeated except these two lead characters are even more of a chore to spend time with. The biggest problem with season two is that … Continue reading Love Season 2

https://youtu.be/1KsyZF590NM 3.5/10 Tom Clancy’s “Jack Ryan” or as I like to call it, “Diet Homeland” had potential but ultimately falls flat and underwhelms. Amazon Prime got a late start to the original streaming game and as one of their first big action shows, they have proven that they need time to learn and grow. Don’t … Continue reading Jack Ryan Season 1

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)
