One thing I’ve wanted more of in “Orphan Black” is interaction between Helena and Sarah (both played by Tatiana Maslany). It was intriguing in season one that Helena, who had been killing clones, had several opportunities to kill Sarah but didn’t take them. The reveal that they were twin sisters was just icing on the cake, giving them a...

Created by Japanese manga artist, Gege Akutami, the series jumps into full gear for its highly anticipated second season that released its first episode...
Who would have thought that after critical and box office success that was “Dunkirk”, Harry Styles’ next project was executive-producing a TV series that’s so unimaginative that we’ll all collectively add it to the very long list of failed fall sitcoms and forget about? Starring Damon Wayans, Jr. and Amber Stevens West, “Happy Together” is an attempted comedy about...
The second season of CW’s “The Flash” opened up with a bang and introduced many new possibilities for the show and its universe.

After several ambiguous episodes and much theorizing from the Marvel fandom, “WandaVision” has finally moved the curtain back. The newest episode of “WandaVision” has finally moved away from the sitcom narrative it has dedicated the first three episodes to — which, frankly, was quickly running its course. Episode four, titled “We Interrupt This Program,” is chock full of answers...
Patricia Highsmith’s 1953 novel, “The Talented Mr. Ripley”, is about wanting a life that is just out of reach and doing anything to make it yours. For Tom Ripley, a young working-class boy allowed to travel to Italy, this wanting is homoerotic — and eventually turns deadly. Translating that desire onto the screen is something that several filmmakers have...

With its dynamic plot, complex character development and unabashed desire to do whatever it wants, audiences were once again reminded how this Archie Comic title captivated those around the world. 
“Black-ish,” the popular comedic ABC Network show, aired its eighth and final season on Jan. 11. The show premiered in 2014 and often pushed boundaries as it followed the lives of the Johnsons, an upper class Black American family navigating stereotypes and generational conflicts as they attempted to fit in and establish their identities in suburban Los Angeles.  Since the...
In these reviews, I’ve frequently pointed out references and similarities to previous seasons of “Community.” I’ve yet to decide if all these callbacks are a good thing or not.
