Dead To Me Season 3 Review

Anytime I see a show that is only a few seasons long for creative reasons, that really peaks my interest to tune in. Many shows today run their course and drag on but executive producer Liz Feldman said early on that Dead to Men would only be three seasons long. This works in the show's benefit as the plot does not get too convoluted over time but instead focuses on crafting an intricate web of lies that constantly make its characters jump over hoops to cover up. This season tied up all of its loose ends and concluded the story and provided a satisfying conclusion to the insane antics of Jen and Judy.

There is definitely a tonal shift this season as it has some of the most emotional scenes in the series. It has been a few days since I finished watching and I am still shocked at some of the major twists. I would love to say that things end happily ever after for our characters but based on the trajectory of the shows and the trail of blood left behind, there has to be a cost for their actions.

Christina Applegate, Linda Cardellini, and James Mardsen are a fantastic trio that have such amazing chemistry. The final five hours are used to wrap up each loose end over the past two seasons which drastically affects the future of the trio. Each of our main characters' lives are forever changed by the end of the season, giving us some of the most radical character arcs thus far. The character and story have always been the two driving forces that make this show so great and it's consistent right to its final moments.
Dead to Me season three is available now on Netflix

Rating all V/H/S/Halloween Segments

Like sorting through your candy after a night of trick-or-treating, V/H/S/ Halloween is a mixed bag. The eighth instalment in this cult-favourite horror anthology series comes up short of previous entries, but there are still a couple of treats in here that should satisfy your twisted cravings. A chilling still from V/H/S/ Halloween . Diet Phantasma This wraparound segment follows an R&D team testing a new low-calorie soda made with “real ghosts.” It’s silly fun, but gets a bit repetitive with each new test subject. The commercial playing during the end credits was a nice touch. Rating: ★★½☆ Coochie Coochie Coo This short feels like walking through a haunted house — but not in a good way. The plot is like something torn from a creepypasta thread. Everything is constantly being spelled out in a painfully obvious way. The practical effects and makeup are decent, and this is probably the only segment that comes close to being scary...

The Mandalorian Season 3 Review

Listen, I love Star Wars. I will always love Star Wars. The original and prequel trilogies were a big part of my childhood, and helped shape my love of cinema. While The Mandalorian isn’t among my favourites in the franchise, I thought it had a promising first season and a significantly stronger season two. Season three had so much potential, but a frustrating lack of focus held it back from greatness. This show’s always had a bit of an identity crisis, but it’s never been as clear as it is here. Does it want to be a procedural-style adventure of the week, or tell an epic, multi-season spanning arc? Season one leaned toward the former, while Season two found a satisfying balance of both. Season three tries to find that balance, but the overarching story it wants to tell is bigger than the few episodes allotted to do so. There are only 8 chapters, some barely over 30 min. That’s a fair...

Andor Season 1 Review

I’m going to make a bold statement here, but one I honestly believe to be true. Andor is the best Star Wars has been since the Original Trilogy. Fans in search of epic space battles, lightsaber duels, or a direct connection to the Skywalker Saga may walk away disappointed. However, those in search of a deeper, more mature entry in this long-standing franchise will bask in everything the show has to offer. Star Wars has always been more focused on telling a big, sweeping story filled with exciting action sequences. The galaxy always felt huge, but it never really felt full. Andor changes all of that, with a grounded and personal story unlike anything Star Wars has given us before. This is a thoughtfully constructed, character-driven series that adds depth and life to the galaxy in ways none of the movies or shows have been able to. With twelve episodes, this is the longest Disney Plus series yet, giving the story ample room to breathe and develop at a natural pace. It smartly avoids the...
