The Sandman: The Sound of Her Wings (2022)
Emotional rollercoaster, this is a standalone episode
From start to finish, this episode touched on life, death and what it means to be alive and not alone. So many levels of incredibly good story telling, even with a nod to one of the greatest storytellers the world has ever seen. Wonderfully done!
The League: Mr. McGibblets (2009)
Should I be worried that I completely identify with these people?
I nearly peed my pants laughing so hard. Just discovering this series in 2022, and I can't get enough of these characters. And confess would totally hang out with them and fit right in.
Big Boys (2022)
Hilarious and Wonderful
I discovered this by accident and it's easily one of the most heartfelt and funny tv shows of the year. I'd like a second season, but will be ok with only one because it really is perfect.
Queer as Folk (2022)
Waste of time, just watch the original
I was a huge fan of the original American series (I haven't seen the Brit version). When I learned about this reboot was concerned but figured I give it a chance. Well, it is worse than I'd expected. Flat characters and the writing dull. It feels very contained - no real sense of time/place. Juliet Lewis and Kim Catretrel are the only reason this isn't getting one star. Shame the other casting wasn't as good. On top of it all, even the soundtrack sucks.
The Time Traveler's Wife: Episode #1.2 (2022)
Admit it. You would if you could.
Ok, I was on the fence with this series, but this episode pulled me back in. It's creative and breaking out of what could have been a very bland template. I'm going to stick around for a little longer and see where all this goes.
Pachinko: Chapter Seven (2022)
Another fantastic episode
This was a strong stand-alone episode focusing on a character I hadn't expected we'd get a backstory for. But so glad he did. It also provided more context around the Japanese/Korean dynamic in the 1920s along with a very valuable history lesson on a disaster most Americans are completely unaware of.
Derry Girls: The Affair (2022)
90s music fans rejoice!
Hilarious. I had to watch it twice to catch all the dialog (those are some thick Irish accents) and was on the floor laughing at the talent show competition especially the take on 'Stay' by Shakespeare's Sister. This cast is just so spot-on and in sync with every chaotic scene. Really upset this is the last season, but so far it's brilliant and we need to savor every last second.
Seinfeld: The Maid (1998)
True to life
The area code number change was a HUGE deal when it happened. People with new numbers became outcasts of society. Kramer's issue with dating a girl because she lives 10 mins away - downtown! Is spot on! Once again, this show nails exactly what it's like to live in NYC.
Seinfeld: The Puerto Rican Day (1998)
It's funny because it's true!
The area code number change was a HUGE deal when it happened. People with new numbers became outcasts of society. And Puerto Rican day is a traffic NIGHTMARE! Once again, this show mails exactly what it's like to live in NYC.
Killing Eve: Hello, Losers (2022)
The writers should be ashamed
Did this season have new writers? Or did they just get lazy? This was a horrible way to end the series, so unstylish and dull. It was a disgrace and insult to the fantastic cast.
Curfew (2019)
Wild ride!
This is a seriously under appreciated series. It's batshit crazy - in all the good ways - and just completely fun. Keep an open mind and go for the ride with no expectations. I would love to see another season using the same concept. Otherwise, buckle up and enjoy the ride. (And the 80s soundtrack is fantastic!)
Pachinko: Chapter Four (2022)
Amazing... This episode was art.
This episode was flawless, every scene layered with multiple narratives all coming together in unison. Story, acting, production... Absolutely incredible.
The Wheel of Time: The Flame of Tar Valon (2021)
Ok, things are now making sense
I was on the verge of discounting this series, but this episode has brought me back in. It picked up and now has 100% of my interest. Also, great visuals and costumes on this episode.
Seoul Searching (2015)
Cute, nostalgic 80s-feeling flick
Really feel-good film with an EXCELLENT 80s soundtrack. I didn't expect to like this as much as I did but it tapped into that familiar teenage coming of age film complete with 80s reference points.
The Morning Show: Laura (2021)
Ok, that was unexpected!
I was about to ditch this series, but the final scene pulled me back in. Did not see that coming!
Tales of the City (2019)
Just watch Episode #8
Kinda boring. But episode 8 was fantastic and can be watched separately from the series and should not be missed.
Black Mirror: San Junipero (2016)
This isn't a tv episode. This is a work of art.
Just... amazing. Everything about this was perfection.
