The pilot of The Rainmaker feels like a throwback in the best way: breezy, twisty, and just fun to watch. Sure, it’s a familiar legal drama setup, but when it works, it works. Lana Parrilla, and John Slattery I'm in.

I tackled Equinox by Charlie Godwyne, book one in the Augarten series. It’s slow, weirdly grounded, and sometimes frustrating but also one of the most unusual fantasy romances I’ve read in a while. Vienna + magic + MMM romance = vibes.

Just finished Black Bird and I’ve got thoughts. The performances? Incredible. The atmosphere? Creepy and tense. But somehow, I wasn’t totally pulled in.

Sometimes peace is just choosing not to micromanage the universe. Not everything’s on you. Shōgun reminds us: let God handle God’s business, and let karma do her thing.

I watched James Gunn’s Superman and… I’m still unpacking it. Great ideas, strong cast (Lex Luthor is 🔥), but I’m still more whelmed than wowed.

If you like your teen dramas a little messy, a little dark, and full of Nancy Drew meets some Netflix weirdness, Harlan Coben’s Shelter might be your next binge. My full season review dives into what works, what doesn’t, and why I would die for Spoon.

Season 2 of Wednesday brings more Addams, Addams weirdness, gothic flair & surprisingly deep family drama. The stalker twist? Didn’t see that one coming 👀

The thing about fighting darkness? It leaves a mark. You don’t walk away from it untouched. Seventh Son (2024) delivers this reminder with a gut-punch of truth.

Just posted my thoughts on Le Panache, a French coming-of-age gem that had me laughing, tearing up, and remembering why we root for the underdog. It’s not flashy, but it’s deeply sincere.
