The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – Season 4
This felt like Maisel back in form after wandering a bit – albeit getting plenty more value out of the supporting characters too, especially Abe Weissman and Moishe Maisel. The plot arc shows The...

The Orville – Season 1
Intriguing, this one – I had a look at the first one of these ages ago because of the concept (space/scifi comedy, helmed by Seth McFarlane), and found the whole thing a bit desperate....
Young Rock
BOOM! Now we’re talking. It’s a comedy quasi-biopic based on the life of Dwayne Johnson, told as a series of reminiscences as part of his Presidential campaign in 2032. It’s sweet, funny, engaging, and...
Rick and Morty – Season 5
Dammit, this show just keeps getting better & better – and Season 5 genuinely gave the idea that Roiland & Harmon genuinely don’t care, and are putting in EXACTLY what they want to. More...
The White Lotus
High-production-value piece about a few groups of protagonists who go to an island resort for their own various reasons, and the subsequent interplay and revelations they have whilst there. It’s got a bit of...
On Becoming a God in Central Florida

The Simpsons – Season 31
It’s a well-known fact among opinionated old arseholes like me that The Simpsons isn’t as good as it used to be. It had its “glory period” from series 4 to 10, and it’s gone...
Aunty Donna’s Big Ol House of Fun
Bit of surrealist Australian nonsense here – I think I’d seen a few Aunty Donna videos on Youtube, so their being commissioned for a Netflix series seemed worth a punt. It’s intriguing to ponder...
Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut)
If there’s something I really don’t need in my life it’s more frigging Monty Python documentary. I’ve been watching/reading Python docos pretty much since I’ve known about the Pythons. While watching this I realised...
The Muppets
This was the ABC network’s “contemporary” take on using the Muppet characters in a mockumentary behind-the-scenes-on-a-variety-show setting… which is kinda weird, because that’s fundamentally what The Muppet Show was about. So what the hell’s...
