Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

While Trevor Noah, like many comedians today, dabbles in observations on politics, traveling and life, there isn’t a lot of yelling, screaming, cursing and what have you. It’s about the storytelling, the use of accents, and the type of comedy you hear from friends every day. Just laced up well into an hour long special.

Doubt: Season 1/ Episode 1 “Pilot” [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

The Quad: Season 1/ Episode 3 “The Invisible Man” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) As The Quad trudges on, so comes the question if perhaps it needs to slim down its featured cast members. For while each one, from Eva to Noni and Cedric are likable, arguably the limited time and dedication given to each puts them at a slight handicap. Yet, as a whole,…

Star: Season 1/ Episode 8 “Mama’s Boy” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbOz5i_uPts Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) As usual with the series, while there is quite a bit of drama ranging from physical violence to watching an emotionally traumatic scene, the moments are watered down and given a swift comic relief moment – thus killing the power and meaning.

Orphan Black: Season 3/ Episode 8 “Ruthless in Purpose, and Insidious in Method” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Introduction While there is very little, but still significant, activity being done by Castor, the main focus is Rachel in this episode.

Youjo Senki (Saga of Tanya the Evil): Season 1/ Episode 6 “Beginning of Madness” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) At this point, as cool as the action scenes are and as Being X makes it seem that it’ll, one way or another, inspire true faith in Tanya, it all means very little if we are to never learn why the Empire is at war.

Kuzu no Honkai (Scum’s Wish): Season 1/ Episode 5 “Destruction Baby” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Orphan Black: Season 2/ Episode 8 “Variable and Full of Perturbation” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Meet Tony. Review (with Spoilers) Well, well. Rather than show what the hell is happening with Helena, instead we are introduced to Tony.

One Day At A Time (2017): Season 1 – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

While ABC has become the leader in having diverse and modern comedies, drama, and sitcoms, Netflix is steadily challenging them for the throne and perhaps the best example to date is One Day At a Time. A show which, just in 12 episodes, fully establishes the characters, their personalities, their goals, and by the final episode it leaves you in tears.
