Josh Reviews Stranger Things Season Four (Part 2)
Netflix released the fourth season of Stranger Things in an unusual manner. The first seven episodes dropped in May (click here for my review), but we had to wait until July to get the final two episodes. But those final two episodes were jam-packed. Episode eight was an hour an
Josh Reviews Atlanta Season Three
After four years away, Donald Glover’s series Atlanta finally returned this spring with a ten-episode third season. Earn (Donald Glover), Darius (Lakeith Stanfield), and Van (Zazie Beetz) are all in Europe, accompanying Alfred/Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry) on tour. This does
Josh Reviews Better Call Saul Season Six (Part One)!
It’s been a long, pandemic-extended wait for the final season of Better Call Saul! The first seven episodes aired in April-May, and thankfully they aren’t making us wait too long for the final six episodes (the first of which is airing the day this blog post goes live)!
Josh Reviews Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ewan McGregor’s performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of my favorite aspects of the Star Wars prequel films (films that I otherwise tmostly disliked). But I loved Mr. McGregor’s depiction of a young Obi-Wan, particularly in Episode III, when Obi-Wan was at the height of
Josh Reviews Hacks Season Two
I quite enjoyed the first season of Hacks, which was created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky. The show centered on the unlikely, oil-and-water pairing of Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), a Las Vegas stand-up comic who had been a star for decades, and Ava (Hannah Einbin

The latest Star Trek live-action TV series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is another prequel, this time set in the time just before the events of the Original Series. We’re on board the U.S.S. Enterprise, but it’s in the days before Kirk was captain. The captain is Chr
Josh Reviews Stranger Things Season Four (Part 1)
After a pandemic-extended hiatus of almost three years, Stranger Things has returned for a fourth season. (Or, most of it: Netflix dropped the first seven episodes; the final two are being held until July.) This new season picks up about half a year after the events of season thre
Josh Bids Farewell to Better Things
I first discovered Pamela Adlon on Louie, though she’s had a long career as an actor and voice-actor. I followed her from Louie on to Better Things, her loosely autobiographical comedic/dramatic show. I deeply loved Better Things right from the start. I am so sad that it&
Josh Reviews Russian Doll Season Two
I loved the first season of Russian Doll. I thought it was a wonderful concoction: a thrillingly head-spinning show that combined fun sci-fi concepts with moving character drama. And it was very funny! Natasha Lyonne was spectacular in the lead role; it felt like the part she wa
