Andor: Season 2 (2025) 97% 7/10 EDIT “The 'Star Wars' that thinks it's too good for 'Star Wars' side of 'Star Wars' ...still delivers where it counts” – Moviebob Central Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: The Acolyte: Season 1 (2024) 79% EDIT “Quick, easy, positive review of 'The Acolyte' in just SIX words? Zero. Minutes. Spent. Harvesting. The. Grain.” – Moviebob Central Jun 4, 2024 Full Review X-Men '97: Season 1 (2024) 99% EDIT “Marvel-Disney's answer to 'Dragon Ball Super' is shockingly good at being the rare non-insufferable nostalgia blast.” – Moviebob Central Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Ted: Season 1 (2024) 74% 8/10 EDIT “Seth McFarlane's shockingly-excellent 90s sitcom throwback is a hilariously well-observed coming-of-age comedy where rowdy Bostonian humor runs cover for a surprisingly nuanced and even heartfelt portrait of the Clinton-era suburban family dynamic” – Moviebob Central Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Velma: Season 1 (2023) 39% EDIT “Scooby Don't.” – Moviebob Central Feb 15, 2023 Full Review She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: Season 1 (2022) 80% EDIT “The MCU's "Yeah, it's weird here now" Phase moves forward with a splashy, expensive 2000s streaming series pretending to be a campy 90s genre sitcom to imperfect but mostly very funny results” – Moviebob Central Nov 11, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1, Episode 1 (2021) 7/10 EDIT “Atwell's brawny bad-guy bashing bombshell succeeds at giving Marvel's anthology a new instant-icon and Disney a whole new model of cartoon heroine” – Moviebob Central Aug 13, 2021 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1 (2021) 92% EDIT “One does not, in this case, invoke either the specter [of David Lynch] lightly... Obviously, that doesn't mean that WandaVision is somehow 'MarvelHolland Drive' - but it also doesn't not mean that.” – Moviebob Central Jan 16, 2021 Full Review Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich: Season 1 (2020) 81% 7/10 EDIT “The question of how it happened is probably a lot less important than the fact that it denied full and complete justice to his still unknown total number of victims and the survivors who were already brave enough to come forward” – Escapist Magazine Jul 25, 2020 Full Review Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Season 16 (2014) 78% EDIT “I can't fault possible real-life inspirations for finding ["Intimidation Game"] exploitative (it is) and triggering; but from a strictly critical perspective I thought it was a solid example of what the series does at its cheesy, sleazy "best."” – Birth.Movies.Death. Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law: Season 1 (2001) 100% EDIT “For most of the first season, the show was chaotically structured like a hellzappopin' sketch series, but swerved into a semblance of continuity and character-building for a two-part season finale that would define the remainder of the series.” – Escapist Magazine Jan 24, 2019 Full Review
