NEW SHOWSDocumentary Now! – “Trouver Frisson” (B+) / season finaleA heartwarming tribute to the films of Agnès Varda, and one of the few non-cynical entries of the show as the whole. I hope this isn’t the end of this brilliant … Continue reading

NEW SHOWSThe Handmaid’s Tale – “Safe” (B-) / season finaleThis season was even more frustrating than last season. You could almost feel the writers stretching this out for 10 more episodes, only to rush this finale that made the baffling … Continue reading

NEW SHOWSThe White Lotus – “Ciao” (B+) / season premiereNot quite as immediately gripping as the first season, but there’s still no shortage of where the show could go, even as some characters seem obvious replacements for Season 1’s awful … Continue reading
