‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ 2×03 Review: Life is a Real Mother

The Handmaid’s Tale 2×03 “Baggage” sprints forward after the stretching episodes, “June” and “Unwomen.” The plot quickens, as do the stakes for June’s decisions, as does June’s belly. Unsurprisingly, the visual imagery, acting, and cinematography are as strong and impeccable as…

‘Blindspot’ 3×20 Review: “Let it go”

Here’s to a new stellar Blindspot episode! And the truth is that this final stretch is very intense. The feelings are always on the surface, especially in “Let it go,” where we have lived an emotional journey with all the…

‘Timeless’ 2×07 Roundtable: “Mrs. Sherlock Holmes” Part 2

Yes, we’re back again, because, as always, we just had way too many feels for one roundtable post. But hey, that’s the beauty of Timeless. May it never become the kind of show that doesn’t give us feels. The End.…

‘Supernatural’ 13×21 Review: “Beat the Devil”

Supernatural’s “Beat the Devil” forces Dean to watch his brother die (again), has Sam face his torturer, and Rowena getting it, left & right. We’re proud of the latter and super annoyed that Lucifer is still around and causing trouble…

‘Timeless’ 2×07 Roundtable: “Mrs. Sherlock Holmes” Part 1

Elementary, Sherlock Holmes would say. Timeless delivered, once again, not just with a gem of an episode, but with a feminist tour de force, and we can’t help but feel happy that we get to experience this show every week,…

'Arrow' 6×21 Review: The Judgement of Oliver Queen

What defines a hero? Are they defined by the mistakes they’ve made or the good they’re able to accomplish? This should be a rhetorical question because the answer is obviously the latter. Heroes are heroes because they do the things…

‘The Originals’ 5×03 Review: “Ne Me Quitte Pas”

The Originals “Ne Me Quitte Pas” told the story of Elijah’s journey over the past 7 years and how he came to realize that he wanted no part of the man he was before. What was initially heartbreaking, especially for…

‘Designated Survivor’ 2×20 Review: To the Shock of No One

I’m not going to sit here and pretend this episode of Designated Survivor was shocking, no. It was textbook bait and switch, and though they executed it well, anyone who’s watched at least one procedural in their lives could have…

Starz ‘Vida’ Advanced Review: When Latinx Creators Take the Wheel

What do you get when you actually put the time and effort into providing opportunities to create, direct, write, and produce content by Latinx & queer creators and actors? You get Vida, of course. This new show, which premieres on…

‘The 100’ 5×02 Review: Red Queen

The second episode of season 5 of The 100, Red Queen, aired last night, and as I imagined it was much faster paced than the premiere episode. Not only was it more intense than the previous episode, it delivered a lot…
