Movies TV Shows
Dark: Season 3 (2020) 97% A+ EDIT “When you’re done with the Battle of Starcourt, feel free to visit Winden, Germany. There are even stranger and better things happening there.” – New York Times Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Season 7 (1998) 100% A+ EDIT “I will forever be grateful to the writers, actors, and producers of this show for not only showing what Black people are forced to deal with, but also being intentional in showing that we are capable of love.” – Slate Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Top Boy: Season 5 (2023) 100% A+ EDIT “The British crime drama that depicts the bleak and brutal criminal underworld in London stands above all other similar shows like "Snowfall" and the "Power" franchise.” – The Root Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Snowfall: Season 6 (2023) 100% B+ EDIT “ “Snowfall,” which ended Wednesday night after a six-season run, was unflinching in how it showed the truth about being Black in America.” – The Root Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Lovecraft Country: Season 1 (2020) 88% EDIT “Misha Green was not responding to George Floyd when she wrote this episode-she was responding to the history of police violence visited upon people whose skin has been kissed by the sun. The only thing that's new is the mythical beings who save them.” – Slate Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Watchmen: Season 1 (2019) 96% EDIT “Sunday night on HBO, I saw something I thought I'd never see on television: the depiction of a dark day in American history that not many know about-the Tulsa massacre.” – Slate Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Dear White People: Season 3 (2019) 90% EDIT “The college campus satire attempts to reconcile two complicated histories, and mostly succeeds.” – New York Times Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Dark: Season 2 (2019) 100% EDIT “"Dark," the German time-travel thriller, is often compared to the Duffer Brothers' nostalgia trip. But in its second season, its ambitions are closer to "The Wire."” – New York Times Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Insecure: Season 3 (2018) 92% EDIT “Insecure's willingness to follow the narrative arc of a beloved character and allow them to fade into the background is a move that many shows do not have the confidence to make.” – Slate Sep 13, 2018 Full Review
