Josh Reviews How To with John Wilson Season Three
I was thrilled that the delightfully weird How To with John Wilson returned for a third season of six new episodes, though it was also bittersweet, because it was announced that the show would be ending after this season. While the show might not feel like it has quite that same blast

Josh Reviews Reacher Season Two
I enjoyed the first season of Reacher, and I found myself eagerly looking forward to the show’s return. The second season adapted the eleventh Reacher novel by Lee Child, Bad Luck and Trouble. In that story, Reacher gets an S.O.S. from Frances Neagley, a member of his old Ar
