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

3.5/10 The timing of the release of this Netflix limited series (it came out January 22nd 2020) both bolsters and hinders this docuseries which ends up disappointing overall. One on medical glove covered hand, the discussion on how the next large pandemic will be massive, how countries won’t be prepared for it and how there … Continue reading Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak Season 1

9/10 Watching “Freaks and Geeks” for the first time felt like I had stepped into a time machine. Not only due to the 1980-1981 time period, which is expertly recreated in its costumes, vehicles, production design (characters’ homes might be my favorite example of this), etc. but also because both the cast and crew were … Continue reading Freaks and Geeks Season 1

6/10 My 4th most anticipated new show of 2020, “The Eddy” had me excited because of one man, Best Director winner Damien Chazelle. Chazelle directed the first two episodes of the eight-episode season and if you have seen his filmography, you know how much he loves jazz, making this show a perfect fit for his … Continue reading The Eddy Season 1

4/10 Although this short docuseries is named after Jeffrey Epstein, this four-part season is really focused on his victims and making sure that they are heard. Therein lies the series’ strength and the best thing on display here: the women Epstein abused. This series acts as a platform for many of them to share their … Continue reading Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich Season 1

8/10 Part comedy, part procedural, part spin off of the 2011 film, “Limitless” adds up to be a really fun watch that, while sadly canceled after one season, is still worth seeking out and watching. For starters, a large draw to this series is just how seamlessly it connects to the film upon which it … Continue reading Limitless Season 1

6.5/10 Although marred by some slower, more boring episodes, season two of “The Twilight Zone” is a step up over the first mediocre season due to overall better episodes, slightly better writing and a continuation of a surprisingly high budget to work with. Season two has one of the most classic episodes of all time, … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 2 (1960-1961)
