Kurt Sutter Abandoned ‘The Abandons’, And It’s Easy to See Why
It’s no secret that Kurt Sutter parted ways with his Netflix Western The Abandons close to the end of production, citing “creative differences” that are...
‘Stranger Things’ Season 5, Volume 1 Was Just About Worth the Wait
Stranger Things is synonymous with Netflix. It has been the crown jewel in the streamer’s offerings since it debuted in 2016, and has surely turned...
‘Missing: Dead or Alive?’ Season 2: A Dull Return Saved Only by Vicki Rains
There’s no doubt in my mind that being a Missing Persons Investigator must be one of the most—if not the most—anxiety-inducing jobs in law enforcement....
‘Malice’ Review – Somehow, Jack Whitehall’s First Dramatic Role Really Works
Nothing about Prime Video’s Malice should work. It’s very silly, totally implausible, and stars Jack Whitehall, of all people, not as bumbling comic relief but...
‘Last Samurai Standing’ Review – An Action Epic With Obvious Influences
It’s usually reductive to compare one show to another, especially when the shows being compared are very good award-winning prestige dramas and/or impossibly popular global...
Netflix’s ‘Marines’ Is Preparing For War With A Recruitment Documentary
There’s a very specific tension to Netflix’s four-part docuseries Marines, and it’s the promise – not a suggestion, the outright guarantee – of war. Nobody’s...
‘Death by Lightning’ Review – An Imperfect Political Drama With Electrifying Performances
Today is either the absolute best or the absolute worst time to release a very mainstream miniseries about political violence, so credit is due to...
‘Bad Influencer’ Review – Netflix Delivers A Surprisingly Funny and Heartfelt Thriller
I’ll be the first to admit that if I never see another drama about social media influencers, it’ll probably be too soon. And yet here...
‘The Witcher’ Season 4 Review – Liam Hemsworth Is the Least Of The Problems
Let’s just get the elephant in the room out of the way – Liam Hemsworth is fine. Sure, he’s visibly doing an impression of Henry...
‘Star Wars: Visions’ Season 3 Review – A Mixed-Bag Of Shorts Containing A Masterpiece
There’s a very compelling argument to be made that, at least under Disney, Star Wars: Visions is the most interesting and perhaps even important project...
‘Nightmares of Nature’ Season 2 Review – “Lost in the Jungle” Is A Big Step Up
I already liked Nightmares of Nature. It was a great idea – balancing the education of nature documentaries with the entertainment of a classically styled...
‘The Asset’ Review – Netflix Sends An Addict Undercover In Sharp Danish Thriller
As someone who watches a lot of film and TV, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of undercover work. What I’m primarily interested in...
Harlan Coben’s ‘Lazarus’ Review – Too Ridiculous By Half, Even For This Author
The work of Harlan Coben is perfectly suited to our current era of relentless home entertainment, where audiences swallow stories wholesale and barely have time...
‘Mob War: Philadelphia vs. The Mafia’ Doesn’t Make Enough Use Of Its Best Feature
At first blush, Mob War: Philadelphia vs. The Mafia is a fairly run-of-the-mill Netflix docuseries. It’s littered with talking heads, packed with detail and important...
‘Splinter Cell: Deathwatch’ Review – Sam Fisher’s Long-Awaited Return Feels Trapped Between Worlds
Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is pretty good, and it’s also likely to annoy almost everyone who watches it. At this point, Ubisoft’s edging of long-time franchise fans...
‘The Resurrected’ Review – A Unique, Twisted Take On The Revenge Drama
If there’s a right month to resurrect a person, it’s probably October. Netflix is certainly banking on this, anyway, since their nine-part Taiwanese original The...
‘True Haunting’ Review – James Wan Adds Cinematic Flourish To A Familiar Format
Typically, the worst thing about any documentary is the supposedly dramatic re-enactments. Famously terrible, the lot of them. The concise elevator pitch of Netflix’s True...
‘The Game: You Never Play Alone’ Review – Timely Cautionary Fare Gets Predictable
Coming as a surprise to precisely nobody, the video game industry is pretty aggressively male-dominated. That’s a reality that is, thankfully, beginning to change, but...
