TV REVIEW: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1.01

May 16, 2022May 8, 2022 Grant Watson

“Strange New Worlds” I really do not like prequels. Anyone that has followed my film writing over the past decade or two will no doubt be aware of this, but it bears repeating. Nothing of dramatic worth comes from a … Continue reading TV REVIEW: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1.01

TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.06

May 15, 2022May 8, 2022 Grant Watson

“Gods and Monsters” Against all odds, Moon Knight’s finale managed to pull together all of its flailing disparate story threads into some form of conclusion. I honestly had my doubts, given just how wildly anarchic the preceding five episodes have … Continue reading TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.06

TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.05

May 6, 2022April 29, 2022 Grant Watson

“Asylum” In Moon Knight’s fifth and penultimate episode, Marc and Steven’s adventures through a mental institution-shaped underworld provide a canny excuse for a whole lot of back story. It is emotionally fulfilling stuff, and the really impressive achievement is just … Continue reading TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.05

TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.04

April 29, 2022April 22, 2022 Grant Watson

“The Tomb” After finding Moon Knight’s third episode something of a disappointment, I am relieved to find the fourth showing the series back on track and working in an immensely satisfying fashion. We are largely back at protagonist Steven Grant’s … Continue reading TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.04

TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.03

April 24, 2022April 29, 2022 Grant Watson

“The Friendly Type” I am sensing a wobble in “The Friendly Type”, the third episode of Marvel’s current streaming serial Moon Knight. The first two episodes did an excellent job of breaking out from Marvel’s standard formula with a story … Continue reading TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.03

TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.02

April 16, 2022April 10, 2022 Grant Watson

“Summon the Suit” The first episode of Moon Knight really felt like a major jump away from the comic book antics of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a welcome jump at that. The second episode still remains entirely separate from … Continue reading TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.02

TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.01

April 6, 2022 Grant Watson

“The Goldfish Problem” Marvel Studios return once again with an all-new six-part miniseries, exclusive to Disney+, and bringing the comparatively obscure superhero Moon Knight to their Marvel Cinematic Universe. There really are some challenges with sustaining a long-term shared universe … Continue reading TV REVIEW: Moon Knight 1.01

TV REVIEW: Inventing Anna 1.01 (2022)

March 10, 2022March 3, 2022 Grant Watson

“Life of a VIP” I feel as if Anna Chlumsky is an Academy Award waiting to happen, as soon as Hollywood’s various studios recognise her immense talent and cast her into an appropriate feature. She arguably remains most famous for … Continue reading TV REVIEW: Inventing Anna 1.01 (2022)

TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.7

February 20, 2022 Grant Watson

“In the Name of Honor” At the end of its seven-episode run it is now possible to take one step back and consider The Book of Boba Fett as a whole. I do not think it is controversial to note … Continue reading TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.7

TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.6

February 13, 2022February 13, 2022 Grant Watson

“From the Desert Comes a Stranger” So whatever is the point of The Book of Boba Fett? Purported to be a spin-off of The Mandalorian, it has effectively transformed itself over two episodes into simply being more of it. This … Continue reading TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.6
