As probably no surprise to anyone who knows me, I loved the new Wednesday series on Netflix. Jenna Ortega is perfect as the lead character, and I enjoyed most of the supporting characters as well. (Especially Enid. Enid and Wednesday’s shared room is basically the warring halves of my soul–cute and colorful vs. dark and macabre.) […]

Unsurprisingly, we cruised through the first season of Sandman. This is a show I’ve been awaiting since 1995, when one of my college friends introduced me to the comic book. Short version: I was not disappointed when the wait was over! There’s been discussion of the casting and the differences between the comics and the […]

If you haven’t been watching Ms. Marvel, you owe it to yourself to check it out. I am a big fan (as you might perceive based on these signed issues on my wall), so I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. Now that it’s here, it’s easily one of my favorite, if not […]

I think it’s safe to say at this point that if a project has Taika Waititi’s name attached to it, it will be a hit in our household. His latest show, Our Flag Means Death, is no exception. We didn’t jump on watching it right away only because we were working through other shows. But once […]

We’ve been watching Peacemaker on HBO Max, which originally was a show we weren’t so sure about. John Cena’s Peacemaker character in The Suicide Squad was kind of a jerk. But we like John Cena as a human being (he seems smart, articulate, and kind, despite some of his in-ring antics and roles he’s played), so we […]

So it’s been hard to look any direction on the internet lately without seeing people raving about the Loki series on Disney+. And I’m here to join the clamor! Though Loki may not have had quite the same pace and flash as some of the other recent MCU series on Disney+, it more than made up […]

I had a lot of trepidation about watching The Nevers, knowing that Joss Whedon was involved. Because while I am a fan of a lot of Joss Whedon’s shows, I’m not a fan of his behavior, and I’ve been gradually moving away from supporting his previous projects. But The Nevers hooked me from almost the first […]

(This show recommendation has a couple of small spoilers, but they’re not anything that should ruin your enjoyment of the show if you haven’t already watched it!) I’m a fan of period dramas, ensemble casts, and supernatural elements, so there is basically no surprise at all that I adored The Irregulars. It was a wild twist […]

We’ve just recently finished watching the first season of The Owl House, and it’s a a delight! It’s definitely a cartoon that’s designed for kids and tweens, but it’s so utterly charming and, like many cartoons, has plenty of humor for adults as well. What I really love about this show is that the main character […]

We normally don’t watch new shows as they air, because it’s hard for us to commit to sitting down to watching something weekly. But we’re making an exception for WandaVision, because it’s wonderful and weird, and we love it! It’s equal parts homage to classic television sitcoms and creepy weirdness. In some ways, it reminds […]
