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

 Recently I binged the first three seasons of What If, so I thought I'd write a few short thoughts on it. The premise of the story is that there are  Watchers who sit outside of space and time, and they are observers of the multiverse. So...what if Agent Carter took the Supersoldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers.  What if there were zombies? (this was interesting) What if the Avengers

 2024 was a very Wrestling year.  I came across a few documentaries and docuseries on Netflix about the WWE (aka WWF when I was a kid), and this kind of kickstarted my interest in watching additional content with this kind of theme. Once I finished the various documentaries, I started watching Heels, which follows two brothers who have inherited a small-town wrestling circuit, the Duffy Wrestling

 And...here's my TVTime Year In Review, which they call a Rewind (do people get the reference anymore? 😅).I am not surprised that my first tracked viewing was Googlebox UK, there is usually some Christmas or New Year's special that's available on Channel 4.  I am also not surprised at the "Drama Devotee" style of watching because last year I spent a lot of time binging all the various
