There’s nothing like AMERICAN BORN CHINESE out there on TV or streaming right now. This is a beautiful, bold, unique show with amazing themes, smart direction, great performances, and terrific fight sequences.…
Continue ReadingWhat is going on with this show. What was once the best written sitcom on TV has evolved into wtf decisions, including having some really major events happen off camera. Why? The show doesn’t bother to justify or explain. Instead it’s too busy filling it’s over bloated runtime with garbage moments we don’t need to see but are forced to (thank you Eli for reminding me of Nate and his stupid violin).

But I disagree so much with that sentiment. And the past two episodes have shown that it was never aimless and that there was not only purpose for everything we’ve seen this season but also that it was all worth it, as every storyline this season is paid off wonderfully in a…
Continue ReadingThat being said, no season of THE MANDALORIAN has ever been perfect for me. I think Season 2 was near-perfect. But it's always been the case that maybe 1-2 episodes out of an 8-9 episode run were more misses than hits. And so far, they've hit 2 for me this season.…
