‘Killing Eve’ 3×06 Review: “End of Game”

Killing Eve’s “End of Game” surprised the hell out of me by making me fall head over heels with the character of Villanelle. A little late to the game, you say? I agree. I wasn’t able to see what Eve…

‘Vagrant Queen’ 1×07 Review: “Sunshine Express Yourself”

Vagrant Queen’s “Sunshine Express Yourself” gave us some of the sunniest train workers I have ever seen. Seriously, kind of creepy how happy they were to work on a train. Even the news was creepy at how happy they were…

‘Batwoman’ 1×19 Review: “A Secret Kept from All the Rest”

‘Killing Eve’ 3×05 Review: “Are You from Pinner?”

Killing Eve’s “Are You from Pinner?” was a character defining episode for Villanelle and one of the best episodes of the season so far. Why? Because we got to peel back the layers of who Villanelle was and how she…

‘Vida’ 3×03 Review: Oh the Hypocrisy of It All

Emma Hernandez is a hypocrite on Vida. I say this with love. Like seriously, bucket loads of love because we don’t get to see messy women like Emma. We don’t get to see women like this that push, pull, and…

‘Vagrant Queen’ 1×06 Review: “Requiem for Republic”

Let me just start off by saying that if you’re looking for Lazlo in this Vagrant Queen review for “Requiem for Republic” then you’ve come to the wrong place. It’s not that I hate Lazlo. I like how crazy and…

‘Motherland: Fort Salem’ 1×08 Review: “City Drop”

Motherland: Fort Salem’s “City Drop” is one of the best episodes of TV I have ever watched and that’s the tea. From the character journeys to the action, everything was perfection in this episode. Even the angst was on point…

‘Batwoman’ 1×18 Review: “If You Believe in Me, I’ll Believe in You”

What happens when you’re not really sure who your bed fellows truly are? You get played like Kate did in this week’s Batwoman. Top that off with the fact that Alice is playing the long game in Arkham without Kate’s…

‘Vida’ 3×02 Review: Lies, Upon Lies, Upon Lies

Starz Vida’s second episode of season 3 was all about lies. Lies we tell ourselves. Lies we tell others. And secrets that we keep because of those lies that we’re afraid of. Lies, upon lies, upon lies. And you know…

‘Killing Eve’ 3×04 Review: “Still Got It”

Not gonna lie, coming into Killing Eve‘s “Still Got It” I wasn’t excited. There was too much promise of a Niko centered episode and that’s yawn territory for sure. Then Killing Eve delivered on one the best build ups I’ve…
