REVIEW: Reacher – Season 2, Episode 2, “What Happens in Atlantic City”

AlexGherzo | Dec 16, 2023 | 0

“What Happens in Atlantic City” is a busywork episode, bringing Reacher and his team to a new location to chase a lead in their investigation while little of the story develops. These can feel like video game sidequests if handled poorly; fortunately, Reacher roots this episode in character, an...

AlexGherzo | Dec 15, 2023 | 2

As Christmas approaches and 2023 winds down, Amazon gave us a stocking stuffer to end a mostly disappointing entertainment year on a high note: season 2 of Reacher, or at least the beginning of it. Based on Lee Child’s series of mystery novels, Reacher follows the exploits of Jack Reacher, a form...

REVIEW: Loki – Season 2, Episode 5, “Science/Fiction”

With “Science/Fiction,” Loki has what is easily its best episode of the season and one of the best of its entire run. That’s faint praise because it isn’t great, and the show remains confusing and inconsistent, but this week’s installment is enjoyable in parts, especially when focused on t...

REVIEW: American Horror Stories Season 3 (2023)

American Horror Stories has been very hit or miss since it aired. In fact, despite a few good episodes like “Ba’al” and “Dollhouse,” I have been unimpressed with the show overall. The anthology show is a spin-off of American Horror Story, the distinction being that St...
