Josh Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Episode 3: “Context is for Kings”
I seem to be in the minority of the Star Trek fans I know in that I mostly liked the first two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery. I hate all the continuity problems caused by the show’s prequel setting (ten years before Kirk/Spock/McCoy’s adventures on the Original Series
Star Trek Returns to Television (Sort Of) With Star Trek: Discovery!
The first time I can remember being aware of and excited about Star Trek was when Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home came out in 1986. I must have been exposed to Star Trek before that, because I was excited to see that movie in theatres. But I don’t think I’d seen the prio
Josh Reviews Silicon Valley Season Three
I really loved the first two seasons of Silicon Valley, a show chronicling the long road that a young engineer Richard Hendricks and his team of co-workers and friends face in trying to successfully navigate the business and technological challenges of creating and successfully releas
Josh Reviews Netflix’s The Defenders!
Way back in October, 2013, Marvel and Netflix announced that they would be collaborating on four TV shows — Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist — whose characters would then cross over into a combined series The Defenders. This would be a TV version of the
Josh Reviews Game of Thrones Season Seven!
It’s hard to believe that we have arrived at the endgame of Game of Thrones. It wasn’t so long ago that I remember watching the first few episodes of the show, and slowly falling in love with its vast array of characters, its wonderful fantasy world-building, and its rut
Josh Reviews Catastrophe Season Three
I absolutely adored the first two seasons (or series, in the British parlance) of Catastrophe, which I tore through in short order last year. (Click here for my review of season one, and click here for my review of season two.) I have been waiting with great anticipation for more
Josh Reviews Silicon Valley Season Two!
I am way behind on Silicon Valley (which is currently airing its fourth season), but after watching season one last month, I quickly plowed ahead into season two. I’m pleased at how smoothly the show entered its second season, maintaining an impressive consistency with the gre
Josh Reviews Master of None Season Two
The wonderful and dearly-missed Parks and Rec made me a big fan of Aziz Ansari, and so I eagerly followed him to Master of None, a show he created (along with Alan Yang) and ran (ditto) and also starred in. I thought the first season was marvelous, funny and heartfelt. It felt adv
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Silicon Valley Season One!
Quite a few friends have recommended Silicon Valley to me, but for one reason or another it took me a while to find the time to start watching the show. I am sorry I waited so long, because now I am hooked! Created by Mike Judge (Office Space), John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, the
Josh Reviews Brockmire Season One
In IFC’s new series Brockmire, Hank Azaria stars as the titular Brockmire. Once a major league baseball play-by-play announcer, Brockmire had a spectacular public flame-out after discovering that his wife had been cheating on him. After disappearing for ten years, Brockmire
