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
Josh Reviews The Americans Season Five
After the end of The Americans season four, it was announced that the show was being renewed for two additional seasons that would wrap up the story. I love that, in today’s television landscape, more and more serialized dramas are being allowed the time to end their stories p
Josh Reviews Iron Fist
Netflix’s Marvel shows came out strong from the gate, with the one-two punch of Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Both of those first two seasons were extraordinary, with adult, sophisticated story-telling brought to life by a phenomenal cast of actors. Both shows looked gorgeous
Mystery Science Theater 3000 Lives!
Almost twenty years after the last new episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 aired (“Danger, Diabolik!” On August 8, 1999, though true MYSTies know that one additional episode, intended for earlier in the final season, actually aired later, in September 1999, because of
Josh Reviews Legion Season One
In much the same way that I never imagined a TV show based on the Coen Brothers’ magnificent film Fargo could possibly be any good, when I first read about Legion, a new TV show based on a minor character from the X-Men comics, I was not at all interested. I’ve been burn
Josh Reviews Sherlock Season Four!
Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ wonderful series Sherlock returned in 2017 for a three-episode series four. I have adored this series, a modern-day reinterpretation of the Sherlock Holmes stories, since the beginning. I admire its intelligence and sophistication and the way
Josh Reviews O.J.: Made in America
I was blown away by how much I enjoyed Ryan Murphy’s ten-episode The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. I loved it so much that I was eager to stay in that world and learn still more about everything and everyone involved in the O.J. trial. As much as I had been h
Josh Reviews The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story
I’m late to the party on this one. I vividly remember all the hoopla surrounding the OJ Simpson trial twenty years ago, and frankly I wasn’t in a rush to revisit that tragic circus. And while I respect what Ryan Murphy has accomplished in television over the past decad
