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)

https://youtu.be/mpa7JJBVLJM 5/10 “I’m tired, Maeve.” – Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) in episode seven of season four. I know how you feel, Bernard. After season one (9.5/10) got everyone hooked on what could be HBO’s next “Game of Thrones” type of event show and season two (8/10) still continued the intrigue and mystery from the debut … Continue reading Westworld Season 4
