JESSICA JONES [Season 2 Review]: No Villains Allowed.

"Pastor" KEVIN PALMA: Here we go again: Netflix. Marvel. Phase 2. Jessica Jones kicks off the post-Defenders party with her second season, though to call a season of Jessica Jones a party is analogous to calling Jessica a well-adjusted, social person with healthy coping mechanisms for the stresses of her life. This season hammers that …

STAR WARS REBELS [Series Retrospective]: The Jedi Strikes Back.

STAR TREK DISCOVERY [Season 1, Episode 12 Review]: Vaulting Ambition.

Hello again, fellow geeks. Another week, another bizarre turn as to where Discovery is now taking us. This is some pretty spoiler-heavy coverings after the end of this paragraph, so I'll leave those either on the fence, or yet to catch up, with this: this second half is wildly better than the first half (although …

BLACK LIGHTNING [Series Premiere Review]: The Resurrection.

Black Lightning, the latest in the CW’s live action DC series, is electrifying... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvbAwl9NeWU Cress Williams (forever known as Scooter from Living Single) convincingly portrays the reluctant former superhero turned respectable citizen, mildmannered family man and high school principal Jefferson Pierce. His daughters, Anissa (Nafessa Williams) and Jennifer (China Anne McClain) are both standout students …
