Fate: The Winx Saga: Solid As Its Own Thing
I vaguely recall the original Winx Club show. My main memory of the series was the catchy 4Kids intro and that it was similar to W.I.T.C.H. But I know that among many it was a childhood classic.

Blood Of Zeus: As Boring As Asphodel
Blood of Zeus excited me immensely when I first heard about it. I’m a big Greek Mythology nerd, and the idea of the myths with anime sensibilities was captivating.
I Am Not Okay With This: Yes, Better Than Stranger Things
I’m Great With I Am Not Okay With This I Am Not Okay with This, despite being an awkward title for a show to both say and read, is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Compulsively watchable, paced beautifully, wonderfully acted, and simply a solid bit of proof that the producers…
Glitch Techs: Men in Black, But Video Games
Glitch Techs Does Not Play Slow Games Glitch Techs proves to me that the new trajectory of animated shows is high energy motion and manic dialogue. It was jarring enough in DC Super Hero Girls, but this show takes it up to eleven. During the review-watching of Glitch Techs, I had to constantly rewind to hear…
October Faction: Worse Than Men in Black 2
October Faction Is Not What It Should Be While the marketing for October Faction may have said it’s like The Umbrella Academy, they neglected to say that it’s like the worst parts of The Umbrella Academy. And, in fact, it’s this issue with the show that’s indicative of a problem I’m having with modern television,…
The Witcher: Netflix’s Answer To The Mandalorian
The Witcher Can Not Be A Coincidence Regardless of the source material and its adaptation here, The Witcher is so blatantly an attempt to imitate The Mandalorian for Netflix that I’m amazed no one is making a stink about it. Obviously, it has its own identity, but the show has such an abundance of similarities, both…
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance: Impressive Craftsmanship and Stringless Majesty
The Dark Crystal: A Unique New World The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is a triumph of alternative presentation. The puppetry and practical effects are so intrinsic to the show that it’s impossible to not notice it every second of watching. I cannot imagine the work it took to create not only the various characters…
Twelve Forever: For The Twelve-Year-Old Within
Twelve Forever: A Weird Metaphor Show Do I have any business criticizing Twelve Forever as an older male viewer? Perhaps not, but, as a reviewer of movies and television and I have been a twelve-year-old, I do have some perspective on this show. And I actually have a little backstory to go over with this…
The Order: Derivative Urban Fantasy
The Order Is A Slurry Of Other Shows The Order wishes it was The Magicians. It would love to be Harry Potter—and I’m pretty sure it thinks that maybe we might enjoy a new helping of some Twilight werewolves. What I’m getting at here is that it’s a show that’s an amalgamation of so many…
Umbrella Academy Is Not That Good
Umbrella Academy Just Doesn’t Impress Umbrella Academy is a meh show. It’s watchable, it’s fun—sometimes—and the score is at least amazing, even if “play peppy song while action or violence happens” is a per-episode gimmick in the first three. But while watching, I couldn’t help but see Heroes. Remember Heroes? The show that contains a…
Velvet Buzzsaw: Arthouse Or Horror?
Should You Critique Velvet Buzzsaw? Velvet Buzzsaw has the potentially review warping distinction of being a movie starring a critic as a major character. And, as a critic myself, I feel as though any statements I make regarding the film reflects on me more than most movies. Velvet Buzzsaw, though perhaps not as thoroughly as…
