The Offer: Season 1 (2022) 57% B+ EDIT “if you're a fan of "The Godfather," Hollywood, gangsters or even just movies in general, "The Offer" has lots to, well, offer...it's a love-letter to movie-lovers.” – Movie Show Plus Apr 27, 2022 Full Review We Need to Talk About Cosby: Season 1 (2022) 99% A EDIT “This docu-series is not simply about Bill Cosby and the incredible harm he has caused, but it acts as a powerful lesson in rape culture and victim-shaming for those that might not comprehend how power dynamics often lead to these sort of heinous crimes.” – Movie Show Plus Jan 27, 2022 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1 (2021) 92% B+ EDIT “The best part about the new Marvel Universe series WandaVision is also undoubtedly the source of its biggest frustration.” – Movie Show Plus Jan 14, 2021 Full Review Small Axe: Season 5 (2020) 96% A- EDIT “...young Kenyah Sandy is one to watch!” – Movie Show Plus Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Small Axe: Season 4 (2020) 96% B EDIT “Saying that its the weakest entry in the Small Axe series doesn't make it not good. It's just the only entry in the anthology that feels a bit rushed and under-cooked.” – Movie Show Plus Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Small Axe: Season 3 (2020) 97% A- EDIT “After being mostly overlooked and under-used in the newest Star Wars trilogy, John Boyega is finally able to show the world that he's bona fide leading man material.” – Movie Show Plus Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Small Axe: Season 2 (2020) 98% A EDIT “By itself, it's potent enough, but placed in-between Mangrove and Red, White and Blue, it's importance screams out even louder.” – Movie Show Plus Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Small Axe: Season 3, Episode 1 (2020) A EDIT “If they qualified, both Parkes and Wright would be atop my personal lists of performances in 2020.” – Movie Show Plus Dec 17, 2020 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 1, Episode 1 (2019) B EDIT “It's comfort food for the Star Wars soul, without being overly delicious.” – Movie Show Plus Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Ramy: Season 1 (2019) 98% B+ EDIT “I ended Ramy wanting more. Thankfully, having just been picked up for a second season, that's exactly what we'll get.” – Movie Show Plus May 2, 2019 Full Review Flint Town: Season 1 (2018) 95% A+ EDIT “Flint Town should be required viewing.” – AXS.com Aug 14, 2018 Full Review
