The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – Season 3

The irrepressible Midge Maisel continues her tour de force of the comedy world of 1960, securing a tour spot as opener for crooner Shy Baldwin.  The storyline this season seems to have found its way a lot better than series

Silicon Valley – Season 6

The final arc for the beleaguered lads of Pied Piper Inc, rounding out with almost a victory lap of ludicrousness.  A great and well-timed way to end this story, and happily we got a big serve of the utter ridiculance

The Boys

For someone who more or less doesn’t give a solitary flying fuck about superhero properties, The Boys was incredibly captivating.  Almost an extension of where Mystery Men left off – this fairly cynical series featured superheroes-as-antiheroes with normal hopes, dreams,

Schitt’s Creek – Season 5

The Rose family continue their ridiculous adventures in the town of Schitt’s Creek, and each character seems to be more & more O.T.T. every time they take the screen.  Pretty sure that Alexis and David are mainly trying to get

Friends from College – Season 2

Further adventures of the Manhattanites who behave like spoiled tossers.  Generally amusing specific situations, but it’s almost depressing that we live in a world where it might be plausibly possible that people could conduct themselves like this and still lead

Friends from College

This sitcom about a group of Manhattan-dwelling Harvard grads doesn’t really do anything for the image of the 1% – entertaining as it is, one can’t help feeling that they don’t work particularly hard.  Mainly carried by the charisma/animatedness of

The Fix

Jimmy Carr comperes Katherine Ryan and DL Hughely plus rotating guests – along with woefully underused stats expert Mona Chalabi – in a US-based panel game about solving one of the world’s problems. Mainly a platform for the standups, who
