Agatha All Along: Season 1 (2024) 84% C+ EDIT “Several of these actresses are delightful screen presences, but their screentime feels both squeezed and rushed; they’re all thrown at the viewer in short order, and are then competing with one another for room to establish their own backstories and arcs.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 19, 2024 Full Review The Penguin: Season 1 (2024) 95% B EDIT “It manages to tell an entertaining crime saga without leaning too much on the absent Dark Knight -- although it still ends up falling prey to some of the weaknesses inherent in Batman adaptations.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 12, 2024 Full Review 3 Body Problem: Season 1 (2024) 78% C+ EDIT “Most of 3 Body Problem’s adaptation choices just feel like failed attempts to spice things up. ” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 20, 2024 Full Review White House Plumbers: Season 1 (2023) 69% B- EDIT “White House Plumbers thus tells a clear, coherent story about a famous event in American history, and at just five episodes there's not much bloat to complain of.” – Entertainment Weekly Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: Season 1 (2023) 96% A- EDIT “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is all thoughtful meditations on aging, be assured that it’s an absolute blast to watch. Each episode has a distinct energy, and the theme song sequence is one of those you won’t want to skip. ” – Entertainment Weekly Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Gen V: Season 1 (2023) 97% B- EDIT “At a certain point you have to respect the commitment to the bit, but it's important to remember you can make cutting commentary about corporate pop culture while still having some fun.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Twisted Metal: Season 1 (2023) 67% C- EDIT “A show that hardly ever lets anything sit (whether a joke or a serious moment) before immediately undercutting it with ineffective humor.” – Entertainment Weekly Jul 26, 2023 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 7 (2022) B- EDIT “It would definitely be helpful if we had a better sense of what the elves' problem even is...almost frustratingly on the nose...” – Entertainment Weekly Oct 18, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 6 (2022) A- EDIT “What an episode!” – Entertainment Weekly Oct 5, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 5 (2022) B EDIT “Welcome back to Middle-earth, where people love to burst out into song — especially when they're traversing wild nature.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 30, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 1 (2022) B EDIT “To my delight, the premiere episode begins with scenes straight out of The Silmarillion.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 19, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 2 (2022) B+ EDIT “I'm definitely intrigued by The Rings of Power so far, and I hope you are too.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 19, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 3 (2022) B+ EDIT “I guess I should have guessed that Galadriel's sea journey would eventually see her cross paths with the legendary island kingdom, but that's what I get for taking everything one step at a time.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 19, 2022 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Season 1, Episode 4 (2022) B+ EDIT “Welcome back to Middle-earth, where every father/son relationship is different and not all prophecies of doom are apparent at first.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 19, 2022 Full Review Naomi: Season 1 (2022) 91% B- EDIT “She could make a great superhero, but the show will have to make the journey worthwhile. The exciting thing about an uncertain future is that it's full of possibilities.” – Entertainment Weekly Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Cowboy Bebop: Season 1 (2021) 45% C+ EDIT “The fight sequences are pretty fun, and there's some impressive camera work like a tracking shot through a disintegrating space station, but it still doesn't quite live up to the power of the original series.” – Entertainment Weekly Nov 15, 2021 Full Review The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Season 1, Episode 4 (2021) B EDIT “As much as I enjoyed the dash of X-Men mythology we got from last week's visit to Madripoor, the latest episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier distinguishes itself even more by bringing in a few members of the Dora Milaje to spice things up.” – Entertainment Weekly Apr 9, 2021 Full Review The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Season 1, Episode 2 (2021) B EDIT “As much fun I've had in the first two hours of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, they have been decidedly lacking in Daniel Bruhl. Interested to see what he brings to the proceedings.” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 26, 2021 Full Review The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Season 1, Episode 1 (2021) EDIT “This premise is fairly straightforward, and the show begins with a globe-trotting action scene similar to the ones that kicked off the titular characters' first two appearances in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War.” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 19, 2021 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1, Episode 8 (2021) EDIT “Personally speaking, the eighth episode of WandaVision is my favorite type of chapter in a story like this.” – Entertainment Weekly Feb 26, 2021 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1, Episode 6 (2021) B EDIT “It's kinda fun to merge the two sides of the show (S.W.O.R.D. and Westview) that have so far been as separate as oil and vinegar. I'm certainly intrigued to see what Darcy's Westview incarnation looks like.” – Entertainment Weekly Feb 16, 2021 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1, Episode 4 (2021) EDIT “I'm hesitant to think there's a greater conspiracy going on here until we get more information. But it sure is interesting material to chew on, right?” – Entertainment Weekly Jan 29, 2021 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1, Episode 2 (2021) EDIT “What is the truth? Guess we'll have to wait to find out for sure, but I'm definitely intrigued.” – Entertainment Weekly Jan 15, 2021 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1, Episode 1 (2021) EDIT “Kathryn Hahn is absolutely killing it as Agnes. She's clearly having a blast inhabiting both the buttoned-up aesthetic and the "golly gee" jargon of the era, and breathes a lot of life into the cast.” – Entertainment Weekly Jan 15, 2021 Full Review Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 7 (2020) 100% B EDIT “Well, I don't know about you guys, but the final season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could hardly have done a better job of targeting my interests than titling the premiere.” – Entertainment Weekly Aug 24, 2020 Full Review
