How could I start but with that quote? What else that was said in this episode sort of encompasses the whole of this journey – a journey that, just as the season four premiere, titled “America the Beautiful” has been,…
‘New Amsterdam’ 1×06 Review: Anthropocene
After a week without Max’s wife, Georgia, she’s back, attempting to win me over, but I am still on Team Sharpwin. That is beside the point, though. This week dealt with good news, ancient illnesses, and family in the way…
‘Legacies’ 1×02 Review: Smoke and Fire
The second episode of Legacies made me fall in love with the show even more. I found myself laughing and crying while watching it. “Some People Just Want to Watch the World Burn” really invited viewers to fall in love…
‘The Good Place’ 3×07 Review: Started From the Bottom
I hate this show, and that’s mostly because I love this show. Look, if you’d told me before “Fractured Inheritance,” that I would ever have any positive feelings for Eleanor’s mother OR Tahani’s sister, I would have laughed and called…
‘The Flash’ 5×04 Review: A Make-or-Break Episode
Since the beginning of the season, one question has hovered over the show like a dark cloud. Why is Nora so cold towards Iris? Her attitude towards her mother was so pronounced, it was impossible to ignore. As such, the…
Queerly Not Straight: Bye, Bye, Bye Misconceptions. Hello Eleanor Shellstrop!
In an effort to build a space for queer people like myself, every Tuesday I’ll be posting opinion pieces, listicals, reviews, and more focused on the LGBT community (and occasionally about the Latinx/WOC community since I am Latinx.) Welcome to…
‘Doctor Who’ 11×04 Review: Follow The Spiders
Perhaps one of Doctor Who‘s many commendable feats is its ease to frighten. Daleks used to be one of the most terrifying foes television fiction had ever seen –granted, in the sixties– and the Cybermen’s ability to reprogram themselves instantly to…
‘Legacies’ 1×01 Review: Class is in Session
Welcome to the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted! You’ve received your acceptance letter, your uniform is ironed and ready. Now it’s time to move into your dorm room and attend your classes. Lucky for you, you’re not…
‘Roswell’ Adds A Familiar CW Face To The Cast
Not that this is a bad thing, but does anyone else ever feel like once on The CW always on The CW? I mean it’s fine for me – because I LOVE my CW shows. Hell, I build my week…
‘The Good Place’ 3×06 Review: ELEANOR IS BI, OKAY?
I’m fairly new to The Good Place as a social thing, I binge-watched Season 1 and then, for Season 2, I discussed it with a very small group of people, so I wasn’t really privy to the fact that Eleanor’s…
‘New Amsterdam’ 1×05 Review: Cavitation
Ah, this week touched on some real society issues and it was hard to watch (not because of the quality, but because of the subject matter). But if Max taught me anything, it’s that the political drama or societal drama…
Two Added To The Cast of Freeform’s ‘Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists’
I miss Pretty Little Liars – even though I admit that it was time for it to be done. But – nothing really ends, does it? I am guessing not because there are always spin offs and reboots. And the…
Marvels ‘Luke Cage’ Has Been Cancelled
Can’t say we are sad about this one at all – Luke Cage has been cancelled. Netflix and Marvel released a joint statement in regards to the cancellation. “Unfortunately, Marvel’s Luke Cage will not return for a third season. Everyone…
‘The Flash’ 5×03 Review: Fathers and Daughters
Todd Hellbing promised that the fifth season of The Flash would focus on family. So far, the season has lived up to the promise. The “Death of Vibe” touched on three father/daughter relationships to varying degrees, and while it felt…
‘Party of Five’ Reboot Casts It’s Four Leads
Brandon Larracuente (13 Reasons Why), Emily Tosta (Mayans M.C.), Niko Guardado (The Goldbergs) and newcomer Elle Paris Legaspi have been cast as the four older Buendía siblings in the reboot of Party of Five. Now, I will be one of…
‘Doctor Who’ 11×03 Review: Attagirl, Rosa
If there is one thing Doctor Who has always been good at, if there is just one thing it often excels at, no matter who the writer in charge is, it is its ability to pull at our heartstrings when we are…
‘Charmed’ 1×02 Review: The Power of Three
Charmed ditches the setup, tones down the messaging and gets into the reality of the situation these three women now find themselves facing in “Let This Mother Out,” and episode that’s infinitely superior to the Pilot, and that does a…
‘Blindspot’ 4×02 Review: “My art project”
Blindspot has surprised us with an episode full of clues for what awaits us in the future. “My art project” is a cocktail of action, humor and tension. Things move on all fronts, placing the pieces of the puzzle right…
‘The Good Place’ 3×05 Review: Try, try, try
There are very few shows on TV, if any, that can have you tearing up one second, and laughing out loud fifteen seconds later, and yet The Good Place remains one of them. “Jeremy Bearimy,” is another grand slam for…
‘New Amsterdam’ 1×04 Review: Boundaries
I am pleased to share that this week has delivered yet another excellent episode of New Amsterdam. Max ran into some trouble and didn’t save the day right away, which is refreshing for those who think he’s too perfectly written.…
‘The Gifted’ 2×04 Review: Friend or Foe?
New battle lines are being drawn every day on The Gifted, and “outMatched” takes that even further than any other episode has before, as Polaris is back from maternity leave of sorts, and ready to kick ass once again –…
