REVIEW: Avatar: The Last Airbender – Season 1 (2024)

virginiakublawi | Feb 27, 2024 | 0

Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favorite TV series. I love plenty of others, like Gargoyles and Batman: The Animated Series. Penny Dreadful would have made the list were it not for its third and final season. But Avatar has original characters that have become iconic in les...

REVIEW: The Bad Batch – Season 3, Episodes 1, 2, and 3, “Confined,” “Paths Unknown,” and “Shadows of Tantiss”

*SPOILERS* In “Confined,” an Imperial shuttle crashes just outside of Dr. Hemlock’s compound. Omega assists Nala Se, becomes familiar with Emerie, and befriends a lurca hound. She intermittently visits Crosshair to convince him to escape with her. “Paths Unknown” picks up with Hunter an...

I imagine I’m starting to sound like a broken record when talking about whatever the newest Marvel series is, but they all have the same problems. Echo is the latest example of Marvel’s disinterest in its own product, simultaneously rushed and slow, edited to incomprehensibility, lacking even r...

REVIEW: Reacher – Season 2, Episode 6, “New York’s Finest”

In terms of storytelling, Reacher is one of the most well-constructed TV shows I’ve ever seen. Every episode moves the plot forward in leaps and bounds, each scene important to either the unfolding mystery or the characters. Part of that is the short run of episodes – only eight per season. But...
