Outlander Review: “Man Of Worth”

It what can only be described as a misfire of a season, Outlander ends its finale on an intriguing note, but one that took way too long to arrive to. By shifting focus away from Claire and Jamie, the series lost what interested audiences most, and instead the unlikable romance of Brianna and Roger took center […]

True Detective Review: The Big Never

The third episode of True Detective shows the weight and pressure of the Purcell case on Wayne’s relationships with his wife, kids, and partner. While more clues appear in the murder of Will and the disappearance of the Julie, it’s the damage the case has done to Wayne’s life that takes center stage. When we last […]

Outlander Review: “Providence”

There’s a telling moment in the penultimate episode of Outlander where the most moving moment of the entire season has nearly nothing to do with any of the main characters. It perfectly encapsulates just how far removed this season has become from what made Outlander work so well in the past. There’s no arguing that the […]

True Detective Review: “The Great War and Modern Memory” and “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye”

True Detective’s two-hour season three premiere is a tour-de-force showcase of Mahershala Ali’s incredible range, as well as this season’s preoccupation with time, memory, and the fluidity of both. True Detective appears to be a course correction in season three after its season two sophomore slump left the future of the series up in the […]

Outlander Review: “If Not For Hope”

Though there are moments in this season of Outlander where the excitement of the story comes into the foreground, and it should since Claire and Jamie embarked on a new life in the New World, the majority of the season is bogged down by Brianna’s storyline, and that’s unfortunate. The feeling that something is off with […]

Outlander Review: “The Deep Heart’s Core”

This entire season of Outlander has felt stalled out, unsure of itself, and unable to tell a compelling story until just recently. With only three episodes left, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done to redeem this season. The only question is whether there are enough twists and turns to make the previous […]

Outlander Review: “The Birds & The Bees”

The entire season of Outlander has led up to the epic first meeting between Brianna and Jamie, but the emotional toll of being raped, the loss of Roger, and the feeling of guilt for treating Jamie like a father after all Frank did for her, has left Brianna more closed off than she would like. How […]

Outlander Review: “Wilmington”

Outlander has a knack of having some of the darkest plot twists on television, and the most recent episode is no exception. After weeks of a slow and meandering story so dull I nearly contemplated being done with the show, “Wilmington” pulls out some of the craziest ups and downs an Outlander character may have […]

Outlander Review: “Down the Rabbit Hole”

For the first time in the entire run of Outlander, Claire and Jamie do not appear in an entire episode. This leaves the weight of “Down the Rabbit Hole” entirely on the shoulders of Brianna and Roger, which comes off with mixed results. To help carry the episode, Sophie Skelton (Brianna) is joined by the […]

Outlander Review: “Blood Of My Blood”

I’m going to be honest, the latest episode of Outlander has me scratching my head. There’s really nothing in the entire hour that pushes the narrative of the season forward. Sure there’s Murtagh’s mention of some Regulator’s bringing a petition to Governor Tryon for lower taxes, but that’s merely an aside in what amounts to be […]
