Josh Reviews Netflix’s Season Three of Black Mirror!
I adored the original six episodes made of the British TV show Black Mirror. Series creator Charlie Brooker had made a riveting modern/day Twilight Zone, with each episode a completely stand-alone installment presenting a look at the ways that technology has the potential to be terr
Josh Reviews Westworld Season One!
I’m a little bit behind on all of my TV watching. In this era of Peak TV, there is so much great television to watch that I find it hard to keep up! Being a fan both of sci-fi and HBO, I was of course hugely excited last year as I read about the development […]
Josh Reviews Angie Tribeca Season Two!
Last spring I devoured the first ten-episode season of Rashida Jones’ Angie Tribeca, a wonderfully clever, gloriously silly show. In my review of season one I compared Angie Tribeca to a modern-day version of Police Squad. The show follows a team of homicide detectives but i
Josh Reviews Better Call Saul Season Two!
I loved the first season of Better Call Saul. I was blown away by Bob Odenkirk’s performance in the lead role, and by the extraordinary groups of actors with whom he was surrounded, most notably fellow Breaking Bad alum Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, along with new faces
Josh Reviews Netflix’s Luke Cage!
Season one of Netflix’s Daredevil was a revelation. I was blown away by that gritty, intense, adult take on Marvel’s blind super-hero. Season one of Jessica Jones was just as good if not better: a riveting take on a character whose life was torn apart by a trauma and a

The Night Manager is a six-episode mini-series based on the novel by John le Carré. The adaptation was directed by Susanne Bier (who just won an emmy for her work directing this mini-series) and written by David Farr (a writer who also worked on the British TV show Spooks, called M
Josh Reviews Vice Principals Season One!
I remember reading about The Foot Fist Way, the 2006 low-budget film directed by Jody Hill and starring Danny McBride. It got a lot of positive press and so I tracked it down and saw it during the film’s limited run in theatres. It was very funny and very uncomfortable. Th
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Better Call Saul Season One!
I started watching Breaking Bad on DVD right as the show was ending. There was so much critical love for that show, particularly in the months leading up to its finale, and I was eager to see what all the fuss was about! I thoroughly enjoyed Breaking Bad as I made my way through t
Tales From the Blu-Ray Shelf
Not long after checking out the extended cut of Batman v. Superman (click here for my review on this “Ultimate Edition”), I decided to watch the recently-released-to-disc extended cut of Ridley Scott’s The Martian. I adored that film when it was released (and it wa
Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black Season Four
The fourth season of Orange is the New Black picks up right after the end of season three with the arrival of a large batch of new prisoners to Litchfield. The new prisoners, along with a new cadre of COs led by the military Piscatella, added a variety of interesting new characters
