House of the Dragon: Season 2 (2024) 84% EDIT “[House of the Dragon: Season 2 doesn't have] the smoothest and most consistent writing but I appreciate the focus on character. It’s a season that was marred by significant production issues and, it is mildly impressive that it came together at all. ” – That Shelf Sep 23, 2024 Full Review The Crown: Season 6 (2023) 55% EDIT “Arguably the primary weakness in Peter Morgan’s scripting, beyond his obsessed loyalty to the royal family, is the inability to tell history (even dramatized) from the moment where it happened/would have happened.” – That Shelf Dec 6, 2023 Full Review The Gilded Age: Season 2 (2023) 94% EDIT “Fellowes’ cohesion is so shallow, inept, and narratively dumbfounding that it robs the story of the tension, drama, and emotional heft it is capable of achieving.” – That Shelf Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Season 2 (2023) 90% EDIT “It has its fair share of flaws, but the sophomore season adds a welcome touch of sophistication in a franchise that can’t rely on Andor to do all the heavy lifting.” – That Shelf May 8, 2023 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 3 (2023) 84% EDIT “... It’s really a matter of finesse, characterization, and detail. There’s so much here but it all gets lost in scattered storytelling.” – That Shelf May 8, 2023 Full Review Love & Death: Season 1 (2023) 63% EDIT “I found the series to be a compelling exploration of humanity in a tragedy where such humanity tends to be removed. It made me not just sad, but contemplative and uncomfortable about a society where this happened and people reacted in the ways they did.” – That Shelf Apr 26, 2023 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 3, Episode 2 (2023) EDIT “Unlike Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian knows how to use its famous/infamous volume technology and the apocalyptic landscape of Mandalore; Episode 2 particularly benefits from this.” – That Shelf Mar 8, 2023 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 3, Episode 1 (2023) EDIT “Season three, in its first two episodes, claws out of the ground but barely so. It’s a boring, meandering, lifeless endeavor that only occasionally sparks to life thanks to the visuals.” – That Shelf Mar 8, 2023 Full Review His Dark Materials: Season 3 (2022) 90% EDIT “What the show lacks, however, is the sense of wonder that was present in the books.” – That Shelf Jan 10, 2023 Full Review The White Lotus: Season 2 (2022) 94% EDIT “Following in the heels of a star-making first season, Mike White’s dramatic comedy did what most shows have not achieved: a superior second season.” – That Shelf Dec 21, 2022 Full Review The Crown: Season 5 (2022) 71% EDIT “Showrunner Peter Morgan has finally run out of cloth to wrap this tepid background television in the trappings of a captivating prestige drama.” – That Shelf Dec 14, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 10 (2022) EDIT “But, after a first season whose story could have easily occupied more than one season, I hope the creative team takes a deep breath and allows the characters to do the same. ” – That Shelf Nov 5, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 9 (2022) EDIT “Here, the writers have wisely chosen to go against the clearly defined character arc. They instead give us a version of Alicent whose contradictions unravel rapidly.” – That Shelf Nov 5, 2022 Full Review Andor: Season 1, Episode 3 (2022) EDIT “For the most part, the first three episodes of Andor are an excellent start to a franchise that has grown complacent and started to feel stale. The scripting is largely effective, the directing is assured, and it appears confident.” – That Shelf Oct 26, 2022 Full Review Andor: Season 1, Episode 2 (2022) EDIT “For the most part, the first three episodes of Andor are an excellent start to a franchise that has grown complacent and started to feel stale. The scripting is largely effective, the directing is assured, and it appears confident.” – That Shelf Oct 26, 2022 Full Review Andor: Season 1, Episode 1 (2022) EDIT “For the most part, the first three episodes of Andor are an excellent start to a franchise that has grown complacent and started to feel stale. The scripting is largely effective, the directing is assured, and it appears confident.” – That Shelf Oct 26, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 1 (2022) EDIT “If The Rings of Power is simply another story about people having to band together to stop Sauron, sure. That’s fine. And in telling that story, the series establishes that it has the skills to establish the scale and scope of that story.” – That Shelf Oct 19, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 8 (2022) EDIT “The beating heart of the episode, however, remains Paddy Considine’s immaculate performance as Viserys.” – That Shelf Oct 15, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 7 (2022) EDIT “The complexity of these emotions is the strongest heartbeat of House of the Dragon. The show’s pacing with the time jumps has created multiple instance of jarring readjustments for the audience.” – That Shelf Oct 10, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 6 (2022) EDIT “The crux of the issue in “Udûn” is the emotional flatness. The series creates such little emotional investment in its characters that l never felt anything about how they would fare in this brutal conflict. ” – That Shelf Oct 10, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 5 (2022) EDIT “A lot of relationship strifes can be boiled down to basic dynamics. What makes them click is the richness of the characters and the context that fuels their dynamic. There is no richness here and no such context.” – That Shelf Oct 10, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 6 (2022) EDIT ““The Princess and the Queen” benefits substantially from this thematic resonance because otherwise this is arguably the weakest episode of the season. ” – That Shelf Oct 6, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 5 (2022) EDIT “But while the impact of [Joffrey's] murder on some of our characters is obvious, the impact on the audience of yet another tragic gay murder deserves consideration. ” – That Shelf Oct 6, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 4 (2022) EDIT “Four episodes in, The Rings of Power finds a propulsive energy.” – That Shelf Oct 5, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 3 (2022) EDIT “Episode 3 also, most crucially, corrects a significant issue from the first two episodes and manages to give Númenor not just visual splendour, but also a sense that it is a real place where people live and breathe.” – That Shelf Oct 5, 2022 Full Review
