Will & Grace: Season 6

“Fanilow” is by far the best episode so far.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0157246/

The Expanse: Season 4

More thoughtful than the last 3? Those final words were worth waiting for (best plot twist of all the books by far).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3230854/

Modern Family: Season 10

Truly, as funny as ever (esp Cam and Mitchell) but did they really need a season 11?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442437/

Fleabag: Season 1

My brain is screaming “THERAPY!!” and the rest of me is enthralled. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5687612/

Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Oh, for heaven’s sakes, that’s NOT how tour zodiacs work.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2365580/

Community: Season 1

While the best part is every line out of Brown’s mouth, every time Chase says Pudi’s character’s name it makes me giggle.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1439629/

Mindhunter: Season 1

Those who are worried how explicit this is? Not graphically, but it sure is verbally. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5290382/

Toy Story 4

Perhaps a bit too much MeToo creeping in, but all around as touching as the previous 3. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979376/

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker

I believe this is what’s known as a call to action.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2527338/

The End of the F***ing World: Season 2

First 4 eps - huh? Last 4 eps - ok, that’s more in keeping with the series (whew).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6257970/

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

The very, very, very best part of this film is the “Fast & Furious Presents” part. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6806448/

Making It: Season 2

Nick = funnier than on P&R. Amy = needs a bit of work. Contestants = adorbs.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6874206/

Knives Out

Someone's been reading a whole lotta mystery novels.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8946378/

The Crown: Season 3

The heart of this series - every season - is the pairing of the Queen's humanity with her divinity.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4786824/

Jessica Jones: Season 3

That corridor is its own character, in and of itself.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2357547/

Last Christmas

George Michael's songs are rather refreshing, but most all, this is far funnier than you'd expect.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8623904/

The Great British Baking Show: Season 10

I love it when the underdog wins. (So, if you haven't been watching, now you get to guess!)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877368/

Mirai

It's Miyazaki without what made Miyazaki special.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6900448/ (Original title: Mirai No Mirai)

Rocketman

So what if you're not a fan of Elton John? This is the definition of heartfelt.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2066051/

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

Reeves may be showing his age, but that makes the stunts even more appealing.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6146586/

Yesterday

It doesn't matter that the film doesn't achieve everything it set out to achieve. The Beatles are always worth it.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8079248/

Happy Death Day 2U

Jessica Rothe continues to shine, and this franchise continues to be too similar to what it's paying homage to.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8155288/

Unbelievable (mini-series)

This is the best utilization of the Bechdel test to date.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7909970/

Murder Mystery

Hey, look, it was an eat-Doritos-and-veg-out kinda day, okay?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1618434/

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 6

In this season, I learned what a cold open is. (And B99 does these ever so well.)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2467372/

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 5

Finally! What we were all waiting for! (Plus some other great stuff involving turkeys and jails.)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2467372/

Bumblebee

This is a better Transformers movie?!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4701182/

Patrick Melrose (mini-series)

Again, stellar performances, and boy howdy, do I not want to watch that again.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6586318/

Star Trek: Discovery: Season 1

I have been waiting my whole life for DARK Star Trek.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5171438/

Stranger Things: Season 3

A vastly more disgusting and terrifying monster, a tighter plotline, the same excellent homages = a far better season than the others.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

I guess I laughed a bunch, but Pratt is not on my golden list any longer.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3513498/

Escape at Dannemora (mini-series)

I am generally not one for "true crime" anything, however these portrayals are superbly done.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6866266/

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 4

No specific stand-out episode, but really, it's because they're all truly stellar comedy.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2467372/

Homeland: Season 7

This time around, I thought they did a particularly good job explaining the difficulty of proper medication for bipolar disorder.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1796960/

iZombie: Season 5

Mr. Thomas, your job was easier here, and also, meh.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3501584/

Veronica Mars: Season 4

It's a good thing I didn't pay to watch that.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412253/

Dead to Me: Season 1

Linda! Where you been, girl?? You still look 16!!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8064302/

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 3

We're moving through these way too fast to remember what Season 3 was about, but let me say this: thank you, creators, for keeping Amy&Jake as a constant, not a kerfuffle.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2467372/

The Last Black Man in San Francisco

Perhaps one of the most notable things about the film is the cityscape they don't show you. (Also, much more from Jonathan Majors, please.)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4353250/

Twin Peaks: Season 3

This show is hypnotic. How Lynch got this on TV to begin with is beyond me, but I'm ever so glad there is a 3rd season 25 years later.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098936/

Spider-Man: Far from Home

Heaps and heaps of adorable action.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6320628/

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 2

And now I'm geeking out over Beatriz and Brower.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2467372/

The Umbrella Academy: Season 1

I'm dying to say what I really thought of Vanya. Instead - this starts kind of slowly, but gains ground fast in the last half.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1312171/

Call the Midwife: Season 8

I still watch religiously, but I feel like it may have jumped its own shark.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1983079/

Everybody Knows

Definitely a Farhadi film, but not with as adept an ending as the others.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4964788/ (Original title: Todos Lo Saben)

The Captain

This is a true story?! Ugh, what a powerful lesson.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6763252/ (Original title: Der Hauptmann)

Hail Satan?

This is not ridiculous. In fact, it's not ridiculous to say that the film likely produces converts!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9358044/

A Discovery of Witches: Season 1

Oddly compelling, while also embarrassingly poorly acted.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2177461/

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Very, very beautiful and too, too frenetic.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2386490/

Widows

Smart and stylish, exactly what you'd expect from McQueen. Too incongruous, though.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4218572/

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 1

Gimme Joe and Terry any day.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2467372/

Hotel Artemis

I'd disagree with the critics. Even Foster's acting didn't save this.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5834262/

Veep: Season 7

Compare: Veep vs. GoT female characters. Winner: Veep, by a huge, effin margin.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1759761/

Game of Thrones: Season 8

The world is a better place now that GoT is done. (Finished? Ha.)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944947

Avengers: Endgame

I hope that was not a fat suit, Mr. Hemsworth.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4154796/

Ralph Breaks the Internet

It goes without saying that the princess scene is worth the rental price? (But the whole thing is delightful.)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5848272/

Mary Queen of Scots

I'm not sure how I feel about Saoirse Ronan playing a Scot, or David Tennant playing a woman-hater.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2328900/

The Orville: Season 2

It hasn't figured out how to be The Humorous Space Opera series yet (also that title was won long ago by both Farscape and Firefly).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5691552/

Instant Family

I'm sure this glosses over much of reality, but I found the Spencer / Notaro interactions quite compelling.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7401588/

True Detective: Season 3

The perfect storytelling: specifically crafted, complex, and heartfelt.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2356777/

Aquaman

James Holzhauer is correct. This is a bad movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1477834/

Will & Grace: Season 5

Unsurprised on where this season headed, but not altogether comfortable with it. (Will & Grace not in close proximity = less comedy.)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0157246/

Pitch Perfect 3

Why did this need a trilogy, again?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4765284/

The Simpsons: Season 24

Those utterly surreal episodes that flit in from the side give this series its edge (and maybe I don't care?).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096697/

The Americans: Season 3

One person in our household appreciates this show. The other one is skeeved out by it every episode.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2149175/

Shazam!

The most positive thing I can say? At least it's a kid's movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448115/

Smallfoot

An animated film about scientific research and the value of reproducibility? More of these, please.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6182908/

Will & Grace: Season 4

Oh my god, yes, move the needle! (Per the last episode.)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0157246/

This Is Us: Season 3

Saying this season was too plot heavy feels dumb (for this series), but that's the lingering impression.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5555260/

The Walking Dead: Season 9

Totally fine until that last episode, which devolved into levels of melodrama and ridiculous plot devices not yet sunk to on this series.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1520211/

First Man

As perfunctory as the man himself, it would seem.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213641/

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

Golly, an animated superhero movie actually for children.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7424200/

Russian Doll: Season 1

It'll only take 4 hours of your binge-watching time. Four well-spent hours!

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7520794/

The Favourite

This is a movie about perspective. Just look at how it's filmed, and those eye-popping end titles.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5083738/

Losers: Season 1

This isn't about losers, it's about failing. But, failing with style.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9817218/

Apollo 11

Mostly diegetic, never dull, and truly triumphant.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8760684/

Captain Marvel

To compare to grades, I'd give this a B+. Mostly because the music was all about Pushing The Agenda.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4154664/

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

What the what now? At least the kitty cat with the long tail was adorable.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4123430/

Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Oh, y'know, not a great story but man, oh, man, the stunts.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4912910/

The Great British Baking Show: Series 9

Oh, my gosh, you all said it got more emotional and harder to watch. You were ALL correct.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877368/

The Great British Baking Show: Series 8

Perhaps not the winner I wanted, in the end? But the bakes have gotten better and better and better overall.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877368/

Wind River

Without Renner this film would have been nothing, and I think that's not a great thing to say about it.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5362988/

The Americans: Season 2

About a billion zillion times better than the first season, plus it ends with another zillion questions unanswered.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2149175/

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Season 4

Glad it's over? The series had its moments, but man, they were spotty.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3339966/

Julieta

That's what you want! Watching an intriguing film and realizing at the end that the director based it on 3 Alice Munro short stories.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4326444/

Bad Times at the El Royale

Eh? Cannot fathom why this is a favorite of critics.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6628394/

The Great British Baking Show: Series 7

These contestants are made of steel, especially those that receive The Hollywood Stare followed quickly by The Hollywood Handshake.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877368/

A Simple Favor

French surf music? Plot twists I didn't see coming? The correct way to make a martini? Thumbs up all around.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7040874/

The Great British Baking Show: Series 6

It's always so nice when your favorite wins! Such spunk, such humor, such intensity.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877368/

The Great British Baking Show: Series 5

Who deserves the most praise? The 17-year-old for never cracking under the pressure!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877368/

The Grinch

Am I allowed to say that I don't appreciate when a classic is updated to be more PC? I feel like a traitor to the cause.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2709692/

The Great British Baking Show: Series 4

Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby. And I'm pretty sure I don't mean that in a good way.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877368/

The Great British Baking Show: Series 3

Putting aside how emotional this is for a sec, the best part is how... British these baked goods are. (Hand-raised pies, anyone??)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877368/

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Season 2

All the other intrigues aside, the Zillo Beast made me the most sad.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458290/

Borg vs. McEnroe

This isn't about tennis so much as it is about very different personalities prevailing. (I mean, duh, see the title.)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5727282/

American Animals

Superbly depressing and upsetting flick.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6212478/

The Good Place: Season 3

Jeremy Bearimy and the Tuesdays in July Conundrum!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4955642/

The Good Place: Season 2

Oh, it's the trials of Job! I think?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4955642/

Crazy Rich Asians

An adequate romantic comedy, but with that added fillip of (at least) raising people's awareness.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3104988/

The Good Place: Season 1

"I want to discuss ethics and morality in this day and age. Let's make it a comedy! About death and the afterlife! They'll never know what hit them!! Bwahahahahaha."
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4955642/

Doctor Who (new): Season 11

It's worth the time to give someone breaking the mold decent material to work with!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/

House of Cards: Season 6

Implausible and poorly plotted, unfortunately. I'd say its intentions were good, but I disagree with many of those as well.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856010/
