Josh Reviews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season One
Tina Fey and Robert Carlock have followed up the magnificent 30 Rock with another wonderfully unique, funny, sweet creation: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The show was developed for NBC who, for some unfathomable-to-me decision, passed on the show after the entire thirteen-episode firs
Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black: Season 3
The first season of Orange is the New Black was a delight, a show that felt hugely original and stuffed full of wonderful, complex characters. The main hook of that first season was the journey of Piper, a relatively ordinary upper middle-class white woman who suddenly found herself
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Breaking Bad Season Four
I started watching Breaking Bad a few weeks after its series finale aired, and I’ve been slowly catching up ever since. Click here for my review of season one, here for my review of season two, and here for my review of season three. I found season four to be very strong, buil
Josh Reviews Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
David Wain and Michael Showalter’s cult classic film Wet Hot American Summer is not a film for which I ever expected to see a sequel made. The film did not succeed upon its theatrical release back in 2001. But then a strange thing happened, which sometimes occurs with films wh
Josh Reviews True Detective Season 2
I watched both the first and the second seasons of True Detective several months after they aired. For season one, after months of reading rapturous praise for the new show, I just had to see what all the fuss was about. (Click here for my review.) For season two, after reading
Josh Reviews Game of Thrones: Season Five!
I fell in love with Game of Thrones fairly early in its first season. I keep waiting for the show to falter, but I am continually impressed and amazed by this spectacular show which seems to continue building and deepening the characters and the world. No show in years has held me
Welcome Back, Darth Vader!
I just recently watched “The Siege of Lothal,” the one-hour second-season premiere of Star Wars Rebels. It’s a terrific episode, the best Rebels has done so far. The main reason why it’s so good? The welcome return of Darth Vader. And when I say the ret
“Bravo.” Josh Bids Farewell to Mad Men!
Mad Men season one was, I am pretty sure, the first TV show set I ever owned on blu-ray. It was a gift, given to me soon after I bought my first blu-ray player. At the time, I’d heard about but had never seen this new cable show, and also I wasn’t sure if I […]
Catching Up! Josh Reviews Powers Season One, Star Wars The Clone Wars “Bad Batch”, and Batman vs Robin
On my desk I keep a list of the various movies and TV shows that I’ve watched that I intend to write about here on the site. Lately that list has been growing very long! I have fallen somewhat behind on my blogging. So I’m going to try a new format here and post some
Josh Reviews Netflix’s Daredevil: Season One!
Let’s cut right to the chase: Netflix’s thirteen-episode first season of Daredevil is a triumph, a gloriously dark, gritty, adult depiction of The Man Without Fear. Netflix’s Daredevil is the finest super-hero television show I have ever seen. Am I exaggerating?
