Josh Reviews Jessica Jones Season Three
Back in 2015, the Marvel Netflix shows launched with such promise. Daredevil came first, and I thought that first season was extraordinary: dark and complex and adult. Then came the first season of Jessica Jones, and it was as good if not better. I loved this character from the
Josh Reviews Season Five of Black Mirror
I think the first six episodes of Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker’s haunting anthology series that explores the many (mostly negative) ways in which technology has and will continue to affect our lives, are a triumph of television. I love all six of those original UK-produced ep
Josh Reviews Amazon’s Adaptation of Good Omens
This past summer, Amazon released a six-episode adaptation of Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the wonderful novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I love the novel. It’s a deliriously funny, clever romp that reminds me very much of t

Last year in the months leading up to the launch of the second season of Star Trek: Discovery, CBS All Access posted a series of four Star Trek short films, which they nicknamed “Short Treks.” In the months leading up to the start of the new Picard series, it looks like
Josh Reviews Fleabag!
I’d been hearing about Fleabag for years, ever since the first season of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s show was released back in 2016. The acclaim for the show’s second season, released this past March, bumped the show up higher on my (lengthy) to-watch list. About a we
Josh Reviews the Premiere of Stumptown!
Stumptown is a magnificent comic book series written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by first Matthew Southworth and then Justin Greenwood. It centers on Dex Parios, a private investigator in Portland, Oregon. The series has been published periodically between 2009 and 2016 (though
