Marvel’s Iron Fist: “Shadow Hawk Takes Flight”

T. Dawson March 20, 2017

Look, I don’t necessarily need Marvel’s Iron Fist to be illuminating or even original, as long as its entertaining. “Shadow Hawk Takes Flight” fails on that front. The premiere might not have been groundbreaking...

Marvel’s Iron Fist: “Snow Gives Way”

T. Dawson March 18, 2017

Well, no one bats a thousand forever. Pixar made Cars, the Coen brothers made Intolerable Cruelty, and Netflix and Marvel made Marvel’s Iron Fist. The show isn’t a complete trainwreck, but it just feels…unnecessary....

The Walking Dead: “Bury Me Here”

T. Dawson March 13, 2017

“Bury Me Here” is the best Morgan-centered episode of The Walking Dead since “Clear.” That might be damning with faint praise, because “Clear” was almost four long season ago. (I liked “Here’s Not Here”...

The Walking Dead: “Hostiles and Calamities”

T. Dawson February 27, 2017

The Walking Dead continues to surprise Margaux and I by not being terrible. Trevor: We’re firmly in the “take what we can get” stage with The Walking Dead, and maybe that’s why I didn’t...

Trevor is off this week to enjoy the long weekend, so we’re all alone and I can finally tell you what I really think of last night’s The Walking Dead. It may shock some...

The Walking Dead: “Rock in the Road”

T. Dawson February 13, 2017

Margaux and I welcome The Walking Dead back into our lives. Trevor: “Rock in the Road” got off to a pretty shaky start. I’m on record as being against Gregory’s transformation into a full-on...

A Series of Unfortunate Events: “The Miserable Mill: Part Two”

T. Dawson January 26, 2017

“That’s not how the story goes.” “The Miserable Mill: Part Two” is a pretty impactful episode of A Series of Unfortunate Events, yet it still feels pretty slight at times. The whole hour pretty...

A Series of Unfortunate Events: “The Miserable Mill: Part One”

T. Dawson January 23, 2017

“The misery does not end here.” In a lot of ways, “The Miserable Mill” is A Series of Unfortunate Events at its scariest. The Baudelaires enter the burned-out mill, making their way cautiously through...

A Series of Unfortunate Events: “The Wide Window: Part Two”

T. Dawson January 21, 2017

“It can’t be, it can’t be…it can’t be.” On the whole, I find myself liking the second part of A Series of Unfortunate Events‘ two-parter episodes more than the first, because this show excels...

A Series of Unfortunate Events: “The Wide Window: Part One”

T. Dawson January 20, 2017

“Standing on a precipice is better than slipping on a precipice.” I want to admit to being in the wrong when I doubted A Series of Unfortunate Events. This won’t be the first time...
