Netflix’s “Trese” is short, scary and worth the watch

Sorry for missing last week! Things have been pretty busy on my end with job hunting and my YouTube channel. I am not trying to neglect this blog at all - it’s just...sometimes, there’s nothing worth talking about. At least from my perspective. And the format I’ve been doing in most of my reviews doesn’t… Continue reading Netflix’s “Trese” is short, scary and worth the watch

Not a lot to say about Netflix’s “Yasuke”

Sorry that there wasn’t a review last week. I was very busy and very tired. But let’s jump straight into this week’s review. I am a goddamn sucker for the found family trope, especially the “Badass Adoptive Father” trope.

I wasn’t a fan of the first season of Netflix’s The Hollow. It started out well -but everything quickly fell apart, especially when the ending twist was finally revealed. It just ruined everything good the show had going for it. The twist was not well set-up, the characters were underdeveloped, and the medium change from… Continue reading The second season of “The Hollow” begins to fill a void -but there are plenty of cracks

“The Midnight Gospel” is not an “Adventure Time” worthy follow-up

Just last week I discussed how the medium should enhance a story. Certain stories just may not work as well in one medium than another. Like we can all agree that Avatar: The Last Airbender wouldn’t work as well as a live-action show. And while many adaptations would likely be enhanced by an animated medium… Continue reading “The Midnight Gospel” is not an “Adventure Time” worthy follow-up
