Apple TV’s Sugar: A Good First Impression
I’m only three episodes in to Apple TV’s Sugar, but it has definitely captured my interest. I have to admit that I generally like everything Colin Farrell does, so I may be a bit bias here. The story of John Sugar is captivating as he searches for missing persons while trying to do good deeds…

True Detective: Night Country – A Few Thoughts
(Slight spoilers below …) True Detective: Night Country was the absolute best show going for five weeks. It had atmosphere, mystery, superb acting, amazing cinematography, and a captivating plot that seemed absolutely comfortable with mashing up the true detective/supernatural genres. The connections to True Detective: Season One seemed to be there if you squinted hard…

Jungle Cruise – A Movie Review
I struggle with paying the extra $30 for a movie on Disney Plus when I already pay for a Disney Plus subscription. Quite honestly, I feel a little fleeced when it happens. Of course, I can rationalize it by saying, “Well, you know, we’d spend more at the actual theater if it wasn’t available on…

Derry Girls – A Few Thoughts
A friend once recommended that I give Netflix’s Derry Girls a try and, frankly, it didn’t do much for me. I watched the first episode and didn’t get it. However, we then saw several of the stars appear on The Great British Baking Show, and they were hilarious. I decided to try the show again…

Radioactive – A Movie Review
My wife and I tend to enjoy movies based on historical events. Though we’d honestly never heard of Radioactive, we both like Rosamund Pike and I generally find Amazon Originals to be high quality. While we’re glad we watched Radioactive, we agreed that it probably isn’t for everyone. First of all, as expected, it is…
