Review: Bridgerton, Season 1
Dearest Reader, I write to you today with news that Bridgerton on Netflix is the most viewed television original series on the streaming site. Though, with this endeavor, one might believe it to be a “steaming” site. Leave it to me to share with you why this audacious show has captivated the hearts and minds […]
The Expanse, Season 5: A Very Human Solar System Asserts Itself
The Expanse is back on Amazon Prime with a vengeance. This season isn’t as much about the little blue meanie of a molecule, but about the people who have been more pawns in previous seasons, even with Holden’s near messianic aura. This season is about personal demons coming back to haunt in full gravity and […]
Review: Netflix’s Away Needs A Commission to Examine The Program’s Flaws
Away was a disaster waiting to happen. Not because of the production or the talent, but because of the writer and producer Andrew Hinderaker. He wrote on the wall, and in the back of his mind: pile on as many misfortunes as possible. Developed this Netflix series into serious melodrama. Let me start with disaster, […]
Star Trek: Lower Decks Loud, Annoying, and Promising
When a franchise meets a certain level of complexity, canon goes out the window. With Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek finally not only bent canon, it completely blew through it. The animated series from Rick and Morty creator Mike McMahan takes a decidedly tongue-in-cheek poke into Gene Roddenberry’s world. And I have to say, […]
Review: The Boys Season 2 Gives A Little Extra to Keep Viewers Hooked
Take Amazon’s The Boys Season 1 and inject it with some V, and you end up with The Boys Season 2. It’s a little more hyped up to keep overly jaded viewers hooked on a premise that cannot possibly be as outrageous as the original outing. But Eric Kripke and gang keep the weirdness coming, […]
Review: Ted Lasso
Apple’s Ted Lasso may be the best show to watch during this crazy time. A character with endless positivity and optimism may help us remember how to enjoy the little things in life. This half-hour comedy is the story of an American football coach becoming the coach of a British football (soccer) club. The basis of […]

Season 7 finale arrives tonight, ending the shows 7-year run on ABC, and hopefully wrapping up the journey with emotion and wonder.

Review: The Night Manager Sizzles on Multiple Levels
Review: The Night Manager On BestEntertainmentReviews.com we post our reviews not with the rhythm of production, but with the rhythm of consumption. Sure, we like to watch all the latest content to watch, but sometimes there just isn’t enough time. A show we start one month takes several to finish. And thus it was with […]
Review: I’m Not Okay with This
Netflix’s I’m Not Okay with This, delivers a swift coming of age drama. It places the powered person origin story into a frenetic exploration of self-discovery. Young Sydney (Sophia Lilllis) begins the rapid-fire series running in the streets, presumably running from something horrible. I’m Not Okay with This draws its source material from Charles Forsman […]
