Netflix’s Midnight Mass – A Few Thoughts
Though it took me a bit to find the time, I was very excited to watch Midnight Mass on Netflix. Midnight Mass is created by Mike Flanagan, who also created The Haunting Of Hill House and The Haunting Of Bly Manor. In fact, you’ll find several of the same actors in all three shows. Like…

Netflix’s Jupiter’s Legacy – A Few Thoughts
If you take a look at Rotten Tomatoes, you’ll see that critics have quite a different take on Jupiter’s Legacy than does the audience. I’m here to tell you, in this case, the critics have it wrong. I’ll admit, Netflix almost lost me on the first episode of Jupiter’s Legacy. It seemed a little too…

Carnival Row – A Review
Carnival Row is a series now available to stream on Amazon. It’s a fascinating concept that, for the most part, kept me totally enthralled.
