Episode Review: Wonder Man Episode 6 - "Callback"
Welcome back to the blog readers. I cannot believe how much I have fallen in love with Wonder Man (2026). We are now more than halfway into this show and I cannot understate how this has made me feel. The performances are awesome, the lack of Marvelisms makes the show feel all the more like an HBO show, and the main chemistry (similar to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-)) is unmistakable. What would this sixth episode, titled "Callback," written by Roja Gashtili, Julia L

Episode Review: Wonder Man Episode 5 - "Found Footage"
Welcome back to the blog readers. As you may know by now, Wonder Man (2026) has been the most delightful thing on television right now. I have loved its look into the industry of Hollywood (not as much as The Studio (2025-) has, but still), and the chemistry and performances of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley are stellar. Now that we are in the second half of this show, would we be able to continue the momentum despite the interruption to the flow last week? Stick

Episode Review: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms 1x6 - "The Morrow"
Welcome back to the blog readers. It is no secret that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-) has been such a delight and such a breath of fresh air. It is a refreshing look into the grandiose world of Westeros, and getting to see banter between lowborn people is just wonderful when we're so used to big battles and dragons and fighting over the Iron Throne. I am so disappointed that we are at the finale, titled "The Morrow," written by Ira Parker and Ti Mikkel, and directed b

Episode Review: Wonder Man Episode 4 - "Doorman"
Welcome back to the blog readers. It is no secret at all to those who have been paying attention that I am really enjoying the newest limited series from Marvel known as Wonder Man (2026). The performances and chemistry of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley are really worth the price of admission, and the story being told is one that feels genuine and worth telling. We would be going in a bit of a different direction going into this episode, titled "Doorman," written

Episode Review: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms 1x5 - "In the Name of the Mother"
Welcome back to the blog readers. As you know, I am a fan of the media in the Game of Thrones world, because each series has had its own flavor and style. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-) is different from House of the Dragon (2022-) is different from Game of Thrones (2011-19), and that is an extremely good thing. This series has been such a refreshing look at the world of Westeros, anchored by exceptional chemistry between its two leads. Now that we have reached the pe

Episode Review: Wonder Man Episode 3 - "Pacoima"
Welcome back to the blog readers. Wonder Man (2026) has been such a delight to watch over the last few weeks. The satirical look at Hollywood and the struggle that actors face every day is not as prevalent as something in say, The Studio (2025-), but it still works. The chemistry between our two leads is stellar and all the more reason to want to watch this show. I know I am only two episodes in, but I buy it almost immediately.

Episode Review: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms 1x4 - "Seven"
Welcome back to the blog readers. In case you have not been around for the last few weeks, I have begun to fall in love with the newest series in the Game of Thrones universe titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-). The setting is perfect for another show in this world, the characters are all bright and colorful, and the main chemistry between "Dunk" and "Egg" is off the charts. Now that we have made it to the second half of this show and everyone's true colors have bee

Episode Review: Wonder Man Episode 2 - "Self-Tape"
Welcome back to the blog readers. I have to say that I really enjoyed getting to watch the dynamic between Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery in the newest Marvel series Wonder Man (2026). Even though we only briefly saw them, it truly feels like we are watching two people that are incredibly close friends. The story of the last episode was solid and created a good foundation, but I am really curious to see where we go next. Would this second episode, titled "Self-Tape," writ

Welcome back to the blog readers. I have really been enjoying the newest series in the Game of Thrones universe titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-). While it may not be as flashy as something like House of the Dragon (2022-), it is different enough to warrant enjoyment for me. The chemistry between our two leads has been beautifully stellar and the atmosphere has been light but not too light. Now that we are halfway through this season, would we begin to crack the p

Episode Review: Wonder Man Episode 1 - "Matinee"
Welcome back to the blog readers. It has been a minute since I got to watch a Marvel series, with the last one being the very disappointing Ironheart (2025). I was hoping for a series that I could really sink my teeth into, and I had a feeling that this series was going to be a big swing (especially since this show has many people I like in it). Would the premiere, titled "Matinee," written by Andrew Guest, and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, be able to get us started on t

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you know by now, I am a fervent fan of the content that we have gotten in the Game of Thrones universe. While I may love House of the Dragon (2022-) more than Game of Thrones (2011-19), I cannot deny that this universe can tell us some pretty amazing stories. The first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026-) showed a real lot of promise with the potential for more. Would this episode, titled "Hard Salt Beef," written by Aziza Bar

Welcome back to the blog readers. If you know me in real life, you would know that I am a fan of Game of Thrones (2011-19), but not as big a fan as a lot of people are. But House of the Dragon (2022-) is absolutely one of the best shows on television right now. Getting a first-hand look at the Targaryen civil war has been fascinating. Now, we have a new kind of Game of Thrones show, in the sense that we are getting smaller with the focus being on one pair of characters. Would

Episode Review: Stranger Things 5x8 - "Chapter Eight: The Rightside Up"
Welcome back to the blog readers. Ladies and gentleman, we have finally made it to the end. The series that has become a cultural phenomenon over the last near decade has finally come to an end, and that show is of course Stranger Things (2016-25). We have come to know and love these characters, and we have basically watched our core kids grow up before our very eyes. This is also a momentous occasion for my blog since this is the first time I have ever reviewed an episode of

Welcome back to the blog readers. We are approaching the end of the road when it comes to Stranger Things (2016-25). There are two episodes left in the show that has taken over the industry over the last near-decade, and this fifth season has been filled with great character work, great spectacle, and so many more questions to be answered in the final 3 hours and 14 minutes of this show. How would we get ourselves ready for the end of the line with this penultimate episode, t

Episode Review: Gen V 1x8 - "Guardians of Godolkin"
Welcome back to the blog readers. I have been absolutely loving Gen V (2023-) thus far. It has greatly expanded the universe of The Boys (2019-26) in a way that was totally unexpected. A show about college students that is focused on the characters while only showing brief ties to its parent show? Sign me up. I am so saddened that we have reached the finale for two reasons: because I have to wait an unspecified amount of time to watch the show again, and because I will never

Episode Review: Gen V 1x7 - Sick
Welcome back to the blog readers. One of the big surprises for me would absolutely have to be Gen V (2023-), a show that lives in the universe of The Boys (2019-26) and is not afraid to prove it. This is a far more character-focused show than The Boys is, and I believe that is why I have fallen in love with this show as hard as I have. Now that we are approaching the end of the first season, what is in store for us with this penultimate episode, titled "Sick," written by Chel

Welcome back to the blog readers. While all of you idiots had to wait a whole month to find out what happens next in the final season of Stranger Things (2016-25), I only had to wait a week because of this blog and my inability to binge. The first four episodes left us on a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) cliffhanger with so many more questions to be answered. With only four episodes left, would we get all of those answers? Time will tell, but at least we could bide our time and

The fifth season has been the most raw and honest one yet so far, while also being dark and brutal.

We have three episodes left (including this one), and I cannot wait to see where this story goes. Would this episode, titled "Jumanji," written by La
