Josh Reviews Star Trek: Lower Decks Season Two
The animated Star Trek comedy series Lower Decks focuses on the lower-ranked crew members aboard the small, not very well thought-of Starfleet vessel the U.S.S. Cerritos. I enjoyed the first season of Lower Decks, but I absolutely LOVED this second season! All the pieces fit into
Josh Reviews Mare of Easttown
Soon after watching The Queen’s Gambit, I moved on to enjoy another magnificent seven-hour TV miniseries: Mare of Easttown. I think I liked this even more than The Queen’s Gambit! The series was written by Brad Ingelsby (who has written the screenplays for a number of

Josh Bids Farewell to Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine really grew on me. I watched right from the start, and I always thought the series was a great deal of fun. But slowly, the series developed from an enjoyable comedic trifle to a true comedy great. In my mind, Brooklyn Nine-Nine stands tall among the greatest
Josh Reviews The Bad Batch Season One
I’m a big fan of the animated Star Wars series The Clone Wars and Rebels. There’s a lot of terrific Star Wars storytelling in those series. It’s a huge section of the Star Wars story that remains under the radar for many Star Wars fans. (Though that’s sta
