Television Recaps
‘Spartacus: House of Ashur’ – Review
There are moments in television where the sands shift, the heavens crack open, and audiences are reminded, viscerally, ferociously, of the power of mythic storytelling. In the early 2010s, STARZ’s Spartacus was exactly that kind of lightning strike. It was bold. It was dominant. It was unapologetically operatic. With the late Andy Whitfield and successor Liam McIntyre […]

Brace yourselves for a hot-mess alert, babes, because celebrated actress and comedian Rachel Sennott serves up razor-sharp, satirical bliss with I Love L.A., HBO’s all-new comedy series that’s just dropped, and trust me, it delivers.

‘It: Welcome to Derry’ – Review
Brace yourself for a sudden rush of coulrophobia: because it’s time to send in the clown and return to the deeply unsettling, always-watching town of Derry, Maine.

‘King & Conqueror’ – Review
For one to rule. The other must fall.

Two titans of ambition, pride, and ruthless military might, whose fateful meeting […]
‘Outrageous’ – Review
Scandal, seduction, and a thunderclap of history collide in the BBC’s Outrageous, a truly decadent dive into the lives of the infamous Mitford Sisters: aristocrats, renegades, revolutionaries, fascists, communists, and everything in between. This is not your average period drama. Instead, it’s a full-blown, high-stakes social and political melodrama, soaked in champagne, scandal sheets, and […]
‘The Gilded Age’ – Season Two – Review
High society returns in Season Two of The Gilded Age, and this time the stakes are higher, the corsets tighter, and the claws even sharper. Julian Fellowes delivers another dazzling slice of period drama that’s dripping in opulence, scandal, and no small amount of ambition. If Season One was about entering society, Season Two is […]
