Truth be told, I didn’t want “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” to be too funny this week because I had a cold and it hurt to laugh, but I also didn’t want it to not be funny. “The Mole” ultimately struck a good balance, but at first, there was a lot of exposition that slowed the episode down. Since I didn’t like the...
At the risk of hitting the point too hard, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” really needs to fix its problem with Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg). The fixation on Jake has been a theme throughout season two, and “Lockdown” is no exception, which is unfortunate because the episode brings the ensemble together in a way that we haven’t seen a lot of this...
Wrapping up the final days of 2024, Netflix released the highly anticipated season two of “Squid Game.” Ever since its unprecedented first season , the show has created an unwavering impression, breaking records as Netflix’s most-watched show to date.

“To Hound Nature in Her Wanderings” opens on what was for me the best part of the episode — the Helena and Sarah (both played by Tatiana Maslany) road trip.

Since its premiere in 2019, “Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba,” based on the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, has become one of the most-discussed anime series in recent years. In an attempt to reach a larger audience for its first film, “Mugen Train Arc,” the anime series began by re-airing the movie into individual episodes weekly, finally leading into a...
For nearly two decades, the creators behind the “Big Bang Theory” have sustained success. After introducing the hit show in 2007, the show received 12 season renewals, and is one of the highest rated comedy tv shows. Subsequent to years of being on air, it’s no surprise that the show garnered a loyal viewership. Fans also share endearment for...
Let’s face it: life can be rough. Careers, relationships, school — it can all appear meaningless in a blink of an eye. Why is that? Paul Rudd’s character in Netflix’s “Living With Yourself” tackles this very issue — but in an unconventional way.    “Living With Yourself” focuses on Miles Elliot (Rudd), an employee at Pool Marketing who is unhappy in...
Fans of late night television likely have a friend in YouTube — it’s where most of these shows upload select clips of their episodes for audiences to enjoy. “Last Week Tonight” is historically no different, with the channel featuring some web exclusives and the “main story tonight” of every episode that airs.
