What If...?: Season 1, Episode 9 (2021) 5/5 EDIT “An epic conclusion to the series that ties everything together and launches us toward what will hopefully be an equally exciting and thought-provoking season 2.” – Subjectify Media Jan 13, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1, Episode 8 (2021) 5/5 EDIT “This is the strongest episode of the series, both building on the foundation of the other episodes and driving us tirelessly toward an epic conclusion.” – Hypable Jan 13, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1, Episode 7 (2021) 3.5/5 EDIT “The tone of this episode is much lighter than the others, and while I could've done without it, the ending is understandably vital to the overarching plot of the series.” – Hypable Jan 13, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1, Episode 5 (2021) 4/5 EDIT “Not only was this week's episode a cool thought experiment, but it offered a lot of insight into several other characters, including Hope, Bucky, and Peter.” – Hypable Jan 13, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1, Episode 6 (2021) 4.5/5 EDIT “This episode didn't change Killmonger's character, just the circumstances under which he carried out his plans. His intelligence and ferocity is to be respected.” – Hypable Jan 13, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1, Episode 4 (2021) 4/5 EDIT “Not only is this an entertaining episode, but it's even stronger in hindsight: It's a perfect foundation for what's to come in the series as well as Doctor Strange 2.” – Hypable Jan 13, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1, Episode 2 (2021) 5/5 EDIT “T'Challa has always been a good person, but with the universe at his fingertips, you can see how much he could've done if given the chance. A beautiful tribute to the actor.” – Hypable Jan 13, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1, Episode 1 (2021) 5/5 EDIT “Beautiful animation, exciting fight sequences, plenty of humor, and a Captain for the ages, this episode is a strong first step for the series.” – Hypable Jan 13, 2022 Full Review What If...?: Season 1 (2021) 89% 9/10 EDIT “Not only did What If provide us with clean stories, exciting animation, and a roster of recognizable voices, the season-long arc sent my brain into fangirl overdrive.” – Subjectify Media Jan 13, 2022 Full Review Locke & Key: Season 2 (2021) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Though not quite as exciting as season 1, it excelled in balancing the action of the overarching plot with the interpersonal relationships of this talented cast.” – Subjectify Media Jan 13, 2022 Full Review Lucifer: Season 6 (2021) 94% EDIT “Though it was touch-and-go there for a couple seasons as we wondered how Lucifer would end, the show managed to give us exactly the kind of sendoff we-and these characters-deserved.” – Hypable Sep 20, 2021 Full Review Masters of the Universe: Revelation: Season 1 (2021) 94% EDIT “I can't leave this Masters of the Universe: Revelation review without congratulating each and every member of the cast on their excellent performance.” – Hypable Jul 21, 2021 Full Review Loki: Season 1, Episode 1 (2021) EDIT “I cannot express enough how interesting of a concept this is for me. What do you do when you take a secondary character-a villain-and make them the hero of their own story?” – Hypable Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Loki: Season 1, Episode 2 (2021) EDIT “The show is not afraid to slow the action down in order to shine a brighter spotlight on its characters, and it's all the better for it.” – Hypable Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Loki: Season 1, Episode 3 (2021) EDIT “I wouldn't be living up to expectations for my Loki episode 3 review if I didn't talk about how much I loved watching Sophia di Martino kick ass on screen.” – Hypable Jun 23, 2021 Full Review The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Season 1, Episode 5 (2021) EDIT “Bucky isn't the only one getting a fresh start in this episode.” – Hypable Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Big Mouth: Season 4 (2020) 100% EDIT “Suffice it to say that Big Mouth season 4 hit all the right notes for me. I'm excited to see how this show continues to develop.” – Hypable Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Vagrant Queen: Season 1 (2020) 100% EDIT “Vagrant Queen is a flashy action-comedy TV series set against a science fiction backdrop. But it also has a lot of heart.” – Hypable Apr 7, 2020 Full Review The Order: Season 1 (2019) 100% 4/5 EDIT “All in all, The Order is funny, entertaining, and intriguing. The story moves along at a pretty good clip, and there's always something happening to keep you invested.” – Hypable Mar 24, 2020 Full Review See: Season 1 (2019) 44% 4/5 EDIT “Though Apple TV+'s See started off on rocky footing, I guarantee you'll be swept away by the series if you give it a chance.” – Hypable Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Euphoria: Season 1 (2019) 80% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Euphoria season 1 finale was full of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.” – Hypable Mar 24, 2020 Full Review I Am Not Okay With This: Season 1 (2020) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Netflix's I Am Not Okay With This is a genre-defying coming-of-age tale that will leave you begging for a second season.” – Hypable Mar 24, 2020 Full Review The Pale Horse: Season 1 (2020) 79% 3/5 EDIT “The series forces you to draw your own conclusion, and while I see the merit in doing so, it also feels like a misstep.” – Hypable Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Mindhunter: Season 2 (2019) 99% 4/5 EDIT “What's frustrating about Mindhunter season 2 is that it's just as good, if not better than, season 1, but that it feels both unfinished and unfulfilling.” – Hypable Dec 2, 2019 Full Review Wu Assassins: Season 1 (2019) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “All in all, Wu Assassins is full of potential. It shines when it comes to character development and fight choreography.” – Hypable Aug 20, 2019 Full Review
