Josh Reviews Barry Seasons One and Two
Early on during our social isolation, my wife and I caught up with the HBO series Barry. Bill Hader stars as the titular Barry, a former marine turned hitman who attempts to recreate himself after accidentally walking into an acting class and being mistaken as a prospective studen
Josh Reviews Luther
Idris Elba (The Wire) stars as DCI (Detective Chief Inspector) John Luther in the BBC television series Luther. Luther is a brilliant investigator but he always seems to tread right up (and sometimes over) to the boundary separating a by-the-book police officer with someone willing
Josh Reviews Undone
Amazon’s gorgeous, emotionally rich animated series Undone centers around a young woman named Alma (Rosa Salazar), who feels stuck in the mundane routines of her every-day life. When her younger sister Becca announces her engagement, Alma begins to spiral into insecurity and f
Josh Reviews Disenchantment Season Two
Matt Groening’s animated Netflix series, Disenchantment, doesn’t seem to me to have made much of an impact on the pop-culture scene. And, let’s be honest, Disenchantment isn’t The Simpsons. It doesn’t come near to approaching that series’ trans
Josh Reviews The Spy
Netflix’s six-episode mini-series The Spy tells the true story of Eli Cohen, an Israeli spy in Syria in the 1950’s. This was one of my favorite series of 2019, but I realized I’d never finished & posted my full review — time to remedy that! I watched all
Just Reviews Stumptown Season One
I enjoyed the first episode of Stumptown, and I’m pleased that I continued to enjoy the subsequent seventeen episodes of this first season. Stumptown is based on the fantastic comic book series written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by first Matthew Southworth and then Justin
Josh Reviews the Fourth and Final Season of Brockmire
Hank Azaria’s series Brockmire has consistently been one of my very favorite shows these past few years. (Season three was one of my favorite TV shows of 2019.) Each eight-episode season has been a small slice of pure pleasure. The series is fiercely hilarious while also t
Josh Reviews the Triumphant Final Season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars!
I quite enjoyed the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series when it ran on Cartoon Network from 2008-2012. Although the series started out a little wobbly (the first four episodes, which were edited together into a film that was released theatrically, were mediocre at best), it gr
Josh Reviews Better Things Season Four
Pamela Adlon’s magnificent TV series, Better Things, seems to get better and better with every season. The ten episode fourth season was another wonderfully memorable, moving and funny installment. I love this show, and if you’re not watching it, I highly recommend you cha
Josh Reviews Modern Love
Amazon’s series, Modern Love, is based on the New York Times column of the same name. Each episode of this eight-episode anthology series adapts a specific Modern Love column. Each episode tells the story of a romance; though the episodes feature different types of love st
