Review: Hollywood
Glitz, glamor, and the gilded age. 1940s Hollywood finds itself revered and scandalized.

Review: Altered Carbon Season 2 Hacks the 2380s But We’re Still Here!
Review: Altered Carbon Season 2 I inhaled Altered Carbon Season 2, the dystopian Netflix series. The first season established the logic of the future (or lack of logic), along with backstories driven by arrogance for longevity among the rich and powerful. This season, don’t look for too many familiar faces as the premise of the show […]
