REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 7 “Growing Pains”
“Growing Pains” is more important than it feels. It doesn’t add much to the season’s arc, but it takes two of the main characters in the direction the show wants them to go. However, while one is generally handled well, the other is rushed and short-shrifted, feeling like an afterthought whe...

With “The Whole World is Watching,” The Falcon and the Winter Soldier continues to continue. That’s all it feels like at this point; it’s going through its paces to get to the end. There are bland characters (some of whom used to be fun and cool), weak humor, dull conversations written by pe...

Read MoreREVIEW: The Falcon and the Winter Solider – Episode 3 “Power Broker”
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is now officially halfway done, and the third episode, “Power Broker,” makes one thing abundantly clear: the people behind this show don’t care. It’s lazy, poorly plotted, flies in the face of MCU history, does potentially cool things for no purpose (which s...
