Over the last few years, I've been looking for older sci-fi shows  to watch. This is was a short (13 episode) quirky buddy-cop/sidekick series. Automan is short for "Automatic Man."  One of the series protagonists, Walter Nebicher, creates an artificially intelligent crimefighting computer program that generates a hologram (Automan) able to leave the computer world at night and fight

This is my other November binge on Netflix ;-) I am a huge fan of the Splinter Cell series and got excited when this was announced earlier this year (a game that picks up after Blacklist would be nice, but I guess we'll take this for now!)In this series, the story finds an older Sam Fisher living in isolation in rural Poland, having left the world of espionage behind. His quiet life is interrupted

This was my November binge. It was a short series, so it was a short two week binge, but still a binge. Having played some of Cyberpunk on the xbox one at some point this year, I thought I'd give this a try.  The game was fine, but I was having a hard time getting into it. Maybe the pacing was off, maybe I was too impatient, but I got stuck somewhere early on in the game (after you learn

I saw the entire series in October 2025, mostly to be a completionist about the NCIS universe series.  This series has no raison d'être. It feels stiff, and do we really care about these two characters when they are separated from the NCIS pack?So, what is this series about?  Well, after Ziva resurfaces in 2020, she goes to Paris to meet with Tony and Tali (their kid).  Tony is now

Since it's October, and I live in Salem, why not binge something Witchy?  I came across the Mayfair Witches recently, so this seemed like a good October series to binge.The core plot revolves around Rowan, a medical doctor who is a witch, but doesn't know it. When her mother is in distress, her power manifest themselves (surprise, I guess?), which gets the Talamasca's hackles up.  They are

While waiting for season two of NCIS: Origins to start, I thought I'd write a little bit about the inaugural season that aired last year.  Gibbs is back!  Well, sort of!  The series, as the name implies, is a prequel.  It's a prequel on two counts. First, it follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs as he begins his career as a special agent at the Navy Investigative Service Camp Pendleton

Thundercats RoarA while back...sometime during COVID, if I remember correctly. I started to watch it back then, but my original reaction to it was "WTF?!"  I admit that I was expecting more of a repetition or modern reimagining  of the original Thundercats (the 2011 version wasn't that bad), and what we got was...not that!The core idea is the same...their planet exploded, they crashland on

The Americans[spoilers] Last month I finally finished The Americans. I had started watching this back in 2017 (ish?) but after the first season I fell off. I've been meaning to return to finish it, and I finally binged it this past summer.  The series is spy thriller set during the Cold War. Our main characters are  Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, Russian spies who were trained in Western-style

A while back, I came across another forgotten 90s era TV series, Robocop! This was a one-season series, Canadian-made, which really felt a lot like the first Robocop movie. The small interludes and news commentary from OCP-sponsored television shows really captured the dystopian capitalistic and consumeristic culture portrayed by Verhoven's Robocop.The pilot episode runs two hours, and was adapted

I finished this a month or so ago, but decided to jot down a couple of thoughts before this totally escapes me.  As I am going through a wrestling phase again (what am I? I teenager? jeez...), I came across this show on Netflix.The story starts 1985 LA. Ruth Wilder is a struggling actress who auditions for a wrestling circuit called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW). She and GLOW's director
