Mom Knows Best (2026)

Mothers secretly bet on the choices their children will make in a camouflaged competition. The kids live in a faux game show created to instill family conflict and keep championship mentality alarmed. The mothers are pampered as they watch their children compete in challenges that mean nothing and dispute ideas geared to opening wounds that make people uncomfortable, esp. parents. 06-Sep-2026
Lanterns (2026)

Hal Jordan is a grumpy super daddy whose charisma outweighs reasoning. Pierre's John Stewart is worthy but he pulls away before establishing connections. The sheriff is presented as a stereotype that has something to say that I kept confusing with a Kathryn Hahn interpretation. The subtle nods are enough to keep the comic book fantasies alive, the approach is fair, the memories are fond and mysteries are involving. 24-Aug-2026
Spell, The (1977)

Chubby teen has problems fitting in at school and at home. "Carrie" has an adorable sibling who upstages her because she's not fat, daddy is ashamed of her and blames her for being fat, mother acknowledges she's fat but doesn't think that is her only problem. It's a symptom of toxic thoughts. Daughter is gifted with telekinesis and will betray her morals to master them. Baby Helen Hunt was sparkly, Susan Meyers absorbed the darkness, Olson was fatherly, the classmates were puke inducing fat shamers and Lee Grant was mother marvel. Psychic powered characters usually have a tell but Rita's/"Carrie's" was so subtle that I didn't realize her first kill happened until later. Deep stares into the camera and unintelligible chants were the nose twitch. Corny as fuck. Occurrences felt sudden and without explanation. They do answer everything but only at the end. Rita was kept in the shadows and lost on being categorized as a person worth cheering for. Her mission was to destroy her detractors, not cook dinner for her family and ways to fuck them up. Fat people don't miss dinners. The psychic showdown played better in my imagination than its lackluster budget showed. The knives kept hitting the cabinet instead of her face. The showdown was fun even with its limitations. It was a Carrie supposition as a family. 15-Aug-2026
East Palace, The (2026)

S1E8. The last half explores the secrets of a family that begot their nightmare destiny. It's shift to dramatic arcs embellished the actions that followed. There are many things that I remain confused about but the whole was an epic horror show. 20-Jul-2026
S1E4. I'm watching dubbed. Acting was not enforced while dubbing? The palace is blessed with a curse that ends a royal lineage. Every boy born to be king will die. A pond spirit has taken over the palace and is invading the legacy of the king. A spirit hunter is tasked to rid the family lineage of the curse. Hunter is a retired grump that is chained to a king who kills for failing. Son is dying, the clock is ticking and a princess Watson is on the case to aid the hunter in solving the case. In order to remove a spirit, a hunter must die in the real world to reach the spirit world. (The Upside Down? No, I'm kidding.) Having a princess assist in the real world is a fun addition that adds gravitas to the myth. The action pieces are vibrant, ambitious and artistic. Spirits are a community with a purpose. The actors are winning, the scope is grand and the entertainment is easy. 19-Jul-2026
Boys, The (2019-2026)

The finale fell short of expectations. We expected an Avengers-type showdown, footage of Homelander struggling to tear into Butcher's dick, a deeper dive into Starlight, The V members showing up to fight and something to live for besides Homelander and Vought. The show wasted too much time on the structure instead of what built it. Great characters, outrageousness, a little bit of heart and style. 24-May-2026
Besides the maestro, Starlight's rejuvenation was my favorite thing. 22-Jul-2024
Homefucker took twitch to its ultimate, grew from it and became remarkable. Someone invited Smirk to the party so he can curse it? He's still smirking away and sounding like a condescending cunt. The twist befits him like a glove. Yes, I would submit to his gravelly words and old man charms. Is that all A-Train or are there other plastics involved? Nice. Mama's Milk has the right amount of daddy issues. Kimiko and Frenchie are still a power couple even though Frenchie has accent disabilities. Star watt. Starlight's abilities were stifled. The series made me realize that Karl Urban can be fun. Quaid can get away with a lot. Sage was waiting for this all her life and she's acing it. The Deep is reenacting some personal memories. Respect. There are stalling tactics that defy reason. The enemies keep bumping into each other but nobody keeps the promise to slaughter the other. One explanation should suffice. Nepo Homelander is sending Damien vibes. Anthony Starr has a grip on us. 12-Jul-2024
Twitch daddy twitch. 24-Jun-2022
The season belongs to daddy Homefucker. 24-Jun-2022
Shue clenches frustration devoutly, Starr chomps evil gleefully and the end punctuated surprisingly. 26-Aug-2019
Graduating superheroes to the next level...consequences. 17-Aug-2019
Lord Of The Flies (2026)

Minorities walk in white men's shoes without stamping their own soul into them. Adding diversity should have abetted the clash and turned the whole shebang upside down but no one dared. The camera lingered on things that didn't resonate because of repetition. Simon's story was its most riveting and the least thought out. There was obvious sexual tension between him and Jack yet we go through a diary adventure that says very little. Jack's metamorphosis is not based on anything except being a spoiled brat and not a homophobic cunt. Everything has a reason and things that don't aren't because we can't accept them. The flashbacks bored with common words and little attention. The plane crash was a blip whose recreation would have added much suspense and adventure. It would have also added depth to the characters. Why did some kids appear immaculately dressed after the crash? Survival skills were minimal. It was environmentally ignorant. There was no wildlife exploration or fascination. After the hunt there was no explanation on how the kids cut the thing up and cooked it. I wanted to know. If a fire took a chunk of the forest why didn't the kids have to travel to find new fruit? Why did nobody fish? Sharks, anybody? No one got sick? The boys wrecked like Anthony Hopkins and it was exquisite. Piggy was an old soul, Jack was savage, Simon was haunting and Ralph was blackish. The shots were panoramic and eloquent. The island mystery was ripe for a switch but it didn't happen. The ending was a disappointing burp. It was gas all along. 10-May-2026
Trust Me: The False Prophet (2026)

It's heroic of people to try and save the abused and manipulated but a sequel with a greater henchman is already in development. False prophet benefits from the downfall of its previous judge and takes cruel advantage of women and children alike. The adoration was chilling, wake-ups happened, betrayal was understandable and the couple filming, never gave up. Respect. 13-Apr-2026
Something Bad Is Going To Happen (2026)

The only way to enjoy it is to panic from expectation and by giving mumbo jumbo a pass. Morrone pummeled a silly context and Debra Wingered it. She was authentically self-involved and complicated. The kiss would have scandalized, if it had happened with Jules. Characterization was brilliant. The script questioned and deciphered a soulmate. Shit like that. The atmosphere was chilling and creepy and I understood enough to enjoy it. I knew the end before it happened but became addicted when I needed to confirm it. It takes a while. Less is better. 28-Mar-2026
Museum of Innocence (2026)

Obsessive humans have all the characteristics of a serial killer without the violence. A man in love is a schmuck. Legal baby's breath is hard to resist. A man who enjoyed a privileged life from the suffering of others is not a good man. The series is too sympathetic to a man whose selfish desires outweighed reason. Engaged hot stuff steals objects his obsession has touched to remember her by. He's a thief that steals from the poor so he can masturbate. I'm surprised he didn't shove that doll's hand up his ass or swallow the marble. The main man is charming with young Pacino elements. A guy you can't help but to fuck. The object of desire fulfilled the character's description. A knockout. Love is proven when all parties agree it is, after the fantasy dies. 21-Mar-2026
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023-)

S1. Monsters were scarce and sometimes their sequences were repetitive. A fine cast grows tiresome because their feelings shift as much as their location, the script doesn't explore what is the crux of the matter but keeps repeating the same question and they have no home-base for the audience to revisit or remember fondly. Are Cate and May destined for love? They are always holding hands. Sucks for the brother but intriguing for the show. There are no reasons to understand what Monarch's intentions are. Why doesn't anybody ever really die? Son looks just like daddy and it's entertaining to watch them as each other. More monsters or more exciting plot points, please. 17-Mar-2026
Bridgerton (2026)

The bon bons were chocolatey and delicious. The players remain irresistible and the newbies matched them. It was nice to see Anthony but the actor playing him kept downplaying himself. A fairytale re-written by a fantasy show that applies reason to magic. Coincidences abound, romance was genuine, the support was better than mice, the chemistry was outstanding, production exquisite, writing was sharp and sentimental and wands aren't the only way to conjure magic. 09-Mar-2026
Boyfriend, The (2024-) 


The boys dedicated two months to an experiment that could fix emotional fractures. The hosts were watchers who philosophized what the men might be going through and offer distinctive points of view. Topics were mostly nondescript, serious and or obsessive. The atmosphere was calm and the boys were intellectually appealing. Their approach to love and attraction was mature and endearing. It still feels like the boys are stuck in a dreamworld of unattainable things but their progression makes us believe and wish it were true. Their emotional experience was also ours. Respect to the men for being open and charismatic. 18-Feb-2026
S1E6. The boys are sweet and childlike in a comic book sort of way. No one lets their guard down enough, even in private. They bear the pain instead of exfoliating it. American gay dating differs. You get dumped with dick pics. These boys are corny, manic depressive and oppressed. Dude, I would have been raped 11 times by the time anyone plotted anything. 04-Aug-2024
His & Hers (2026)

I was entertained more by the performance than the act. Bernthal was a pissy prick with a sing songy accent and ripe for entertainment. I wish the show were its own thing instead of being a requirement. The ending is only great if you believe it. It was an 80's pyschopath's excuse for becoming a killer. Bernthal had chemistry with Tessa and she had chemistry with us. 26-Jan-2026
Stranger Things (2016-2025)
It was all heart and I loved it. 01-Jan-2026
I enjoyed this season because I accepted what it was instead of what it should be. 09-Dec-2025
If this were an enjoyable season I wouldn't have talked about their hair. The retro lab visit was every mythological idea the auteurs and their fan pages dreamed up during video chats. It met everywhere but the middle. Russian prison was an excuse to keep actors that can't stand each other apart. (The audience likes them together.) The prison chapter peaked when daddy shaved his hair. He won Best Hair. The extra stuff put me to sleep. Too much. 01-Jun-2022
S4E5. I was surprised how much I had forgotten and remembered. Old people don't have time to look back. There isn't much time. The hair is horrendous. A guaranteed 80's do is brushing it forwards, teasing it, spraying it and letting it go. Instant throwback art. El is a super dork with boy crushes, the token of leftwing communist bullying and delicate. She's a dehumanized weapon. Comicbook El would have found gifts of other strength to make her cope and conquer. Why would she become Carrie? Some of the characters were hard to bear. It zooms away from sense, piles for representation and exemplifies fandom exhaustion. The hair. Worst ever! 30-May-2022
PS: I spent most of the season wanting to comb everybody's messy hair. 08-Aug-2019
The magic dissipated in #3 but unity, bromance, and a pulverizing ending held it up. 06-Aug-2019
#2 gratified every sense with throb and tenderness. 29-Nov-2017
There can't be much to disconcert when with every dedication and homage you are dealt original cards with likeable imprinted players and a perplexing with soul reflexing game.
Wynona is unwavering in motherhood vs sanity as David Harbour is papa Bear strength. The kids are inherent, funny and affecting. Millie Bobbi Brown is tasked with conveyance of eye speak and she handles it beautifully.
Success is achieved through inspiration not impersonation. 29-Aug-2016
It: Welcome To Derry (2025) 


S1E8. It survives because of memorable shots. The fog, the gumption, It's eyes sparkling, It skipping, It doing anything. The solution seemed too simplified for such an extravagant showcase. 18-Dec-2025
It was the most frightening yet. S1E7. The best way to honor culture is to be honest and inquisitive. I do not understand what It is, more than when I read the book as a child. It was a hefty book. I read on because a beast's rape of a boy sounded familiar to me. I was born to it. I think Bill betrayed his Pennywise character by acting like a kid pretending to be an adult as a human. It was a letdown. The culture clash is not storytelling but stoning. How is one group better than the other? I kept thinking, if we nixed the adult footage would it matter, more?
PS: when soldier mama asked the accused to get undressed I was confused. How did she hide a black naked man in her car with her underage son from the army? 08-Dec-2025
The babies don't step on cues and are willing to make their characters heart-born. I always resented Charlie Brown for cancelling adults but it should apply here. Every time the children were not present, the momentum faltered. The prequel suffers from grandiosity when it needed to be more intimate. It's how gradually works. It never starts better. Where were these military bastards in the future? I'm confused. Is anybody going to explain why dead boy proclaimed that It sleeps all day and feeds all night? I say, "then why is It terrorizing them during the day? Constantly!" The only acceptable answer is, "he was lying." If all doors to a fantasy are left open, it would create chaos. I suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the story but I can't tolerate the nonsensical. The prequel boggles the part of the imagination I would need to believe. TMI. 29-Nov-2025
