Bill Lawrence is one of the great television creators of our time. Scrubs is a binge watch classic. Ted Lasso gave hope to humans during a time of collective, extreme anxiety and grief. Shrinking is a story about an imperfect therapist that decides to broach the only professional indelible line and get involved in his […]
Single Drunk Female is about Sam, a woman beginning her journey with sobriety. It’s inspiring because it’s so messy. She’s not perfect, and isn’t really all that good. Eventually she tries. But sobriety would not be her first choice. I too am currently in a state of sobriety. I was sober for a few years, […]
“The Bear” is immersive. The characters are imperfect. Food is ubiquitous. Most of the action is meal prep (which I love to watch but hate to do.) The b-roll deserves a mention. Each episode takes a style and theme.
Q-Force is a really fun animated comedy about a group of gay spies. The voice cast is incredible: Wanda Sykes, Fortune Feimster, Laurie Metcalf, Patti Harrison, Matt Rogers, David Harbour, Guy Branum and Sean Hayes (who also produced through Hazy Mills.) I loved how gay it was! It’s pretty lighthearted so made for an easy […]
The Time Traveler’s Wife – (HBOMAX) Miniseries, 2022 by Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue.
“Anyone can stand any kind of torture, except hope.” Excellent writing, smooth cinematography, holds up on a rewatch.
Peacemaker is at once winsome and gruesome. James Gunn knows how to make a story serious, absurd, juvenile and deep, with a highly stylized look and fantastic score. The cinematography is notable and wonderful- I had a million screenshots and could have taken more. I enjoy television that will kill it’s darlings in a violent […]
Fall is back! Midseason is back! Pilot season is back! Seasonal broadcast TV development is back on track! Ordinary Joe had no ordinary path to series. It was originally written in 2009 by Matt Reeves. The pilot wasn’t ordered by NBC until January 2020, in that fateful before-time, the script having been bought but not […]
My favorite quotes from Showtime’s Yellowjackets include “It’s like riding a really gross, fucked up bike” and of course, “There’s no book club?” The cast is amazing, as is the soundtrack.
Lauren Lyle (Outlander) brought me into Vigil, produced for BBC and now available on Peacock in the US. Luckily all episodes are out and I didn’t have to wait like when it originally aired – it’s a very intense thriller! Suranne Jones (Gentleman Jack) is phenomenal in anything she does. Besides the murder mystery, Vigil […]
