REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 6 “Just Jen”

I didn’t think She-Hulk could get much worse after last week’s disaster, but Jessica Gao and her crack team proved I was selling them short. “Just Jen” takes all of the show’s worst impulses and amplifies them, sapping what little charm may have been in the lead character and dropping her ...

REVIEW: Andor – Season 1, Episode 1

Andor is a character and a show for which I’ve really been trying to temper my expectations. I didn’t like Rogue One or care much for its characters. The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sizable disappointments. I’ve quickly gone from “Star Wars TV is good, at...

“Mean, Green, and Poured Straight into These Jeans” may be the worst episode of She-Hulk (so far; we’ve got four more of these suckers to go). The woke feminist stuff is present, though not as abrasively as in, say, the pilot, and it’s got plenty of bad plotting and character work to complem...
