‘Twin Peaks’ Actors Take Us on a Wonderful Trip Down Memory Lane with ‘Conversations with the Stars’
In a series of events called 'Twin Peaks: Conversations with the Stars,' the show's actors are delivering fond memories and insights.
With its first Monday Night Raw Netflix show, WWE showed that it can keep the steam going for a three-hour show.
The Showtime series Billions dealt with quite a bit of adversity throughout its final seasons, but despite it all they managed to deliver a satisfying ending.
Showtime’s 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' is a beautiful homage to David Bowie, from its quiet beginning to its ambitious ending Kurtzman injects every aspect of the production with Bowie’s DNA, from his music to his ideologies.
Just over 25 years after 'Fargo', Delaware County, Pennsylvania, now has its own piece of popular entertainment to call its own, and its more than worth a viewing.
The six-part series, which wrapped up last month, is one of the works of fiction that has best grappled with the Trump era. Its modern-day echoes really hit home.
It was a way to look at these stories without any of the slickness, nor the corporate ass-covering, that comes from the usual WWE-approved documentaries.
Preacher Season 3 continues its upwards trends towards the outlandish, and while that results in the most comic book feeling season yet, it can definitely over indulge in the excess - leaving things feeling far less consequential.
Season 1 of The Gifted was a seriously flawed first season that still showed a lot of flashes of promise, especially in the back third. If they can build off of those great moments, add more levity, and ease off the caricatures then it can truly grow into something special, a la Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This season felt a bit off pacing wise (and not just due it's disjointed nature) and I didn't find myself clamoring for the next episode like I was in the first season, but it progressively got stronger towards the end with some great scenes and their best season finale yet, leaving me re-energized and excited to see what will unfold in Season 4.
Better Call Saul is without a doubt obscure, a bit flimsy, and idiosyncratic. The entire series has numerous complicated situations and provides deep insight into each characters' nuances. There will be a comparison with Breaking Bad in terms of plot and characters but Better Call Saul stands on its own with remarkable direction and writing by Vince Gilligan who is the creator of both series.
Season 2 of Preacher improves upon everything you loved about Season 1 and cranks the craziness up to an even greater level. It's as funny and as sharp as ever thanks to some phenomenal writing, acting, and dialogue that keeps things grounded even in a world as outlandish as this one. In short, Season 2 of Preacher is some of the best TV I've seen in the past 5 years and it's a show that everyone should be talking about.
There’s only one thing I don’t like about the 'Documentary Now! The Complete Series' blu-ray set, the "complete" implies the series is over.
WWE's 'Saturday Night’s Main Event' has returned with nostalgia in spades, including the "winged eagle" championship belt and even Jesse Ventura.
While it’s easy to get absorbed into the sex, power, drug-filled, and money-driven world of 'The White Lotus,' at its core it tackles some of our most important social issues, and Season 2 kicked things up a notch.
'This is Us' wrapped up its six-year run last week, a culmination of fantastic, unique storytelling that spanned about 75 years and four generations, and did the near impossible; it nailed its endgame.
'The Undoing' has managed to capture the zeitgeist, and the curiosity and intrigue compelled me to get to the bottom of the hype and why its finale led to mixed reviews from audiences worldwide.
'Modern Family' had a lot of the same problems that a lot of contemporary sitcoms have had: It went on for several years longer than it probably should have.
Season 2 of The Punisher is still full of the satisfying action sequences we've all come to expect from a good Punisher tale but spends far too much time rehashing some of the same beats from the first season - and not the best parts. Still too much Castle and not enough Punisher.
Jessica Jones is vastly different than any other super hero property out there so if you go into it with that mindset there a fairly interesting dramatic, pseudo-noir story being told here; along with answers to long running questions about her past and potential for future highly personal conflicts.
Season 1 was all about foundation building and they did a fantastic job of that and giving me a real reason to care about the characters and the story unfolding. I would like to see a bit more action in the next season but Season 1's incredible balance, great character development, and compelling story make this one of TV's most promising super hero shows yet.
This season is more enthralling, more cinematic, has more creatures from the ‘upside down’ dimension, and retains its spectacular visual effects, but the writing does leave some major plot holes and a certain amount of illogical circumstances. Hopefully in Season 3 they'll flesh out some of the newer character additions a bit.
Season 1 of Netflix and Marvel's The Punisher was a step back in the right direction for both companies. They managed to finish the story they started in Daredevil, introduce a great new character in Micro, and show a whole different side to The Punisher than we've ever seen before. However, I hope in Season 2 we get a lot more Punisher and a lot less Frank Castle and more action sequences that can match the high mark left from Season 2 of Daredevil.
All in all, The Strain has always been a mixed bag of good and bad and season 4 is no different. In terms of pacing, story telling, and character building, it was definitely the weakest season of them all but in a world where we rarely get proper endings to series, they did a more than serviceable job of tying up loose ends and giving the characters that needed it, proper endings.
