Netflix’s The OA had been officially cancelled after two seasons and I’m oddly sanguine about it. The series is so odd and quirky that while I’ll miss it, I couldn’t imagine where it would go had there been a third season. And let’s be honest. I’d prefer The OA to end at the top of […]
If you’re not watching Kim’s Convenience on Netflix you don’t know what you’re missing. The series revolves around a Korean family that operates a grocery in Canada and it’s particularly arresting television because it manages to be kind, while not venturing too often into cliché.

She brings an intensity, a vitality to everything that she does that just by her being there she elevates everything around her. And you might be familiar with […]
I admit to choosing Midsommar over Alexandre’s Aja’s Crawl last weekend–after all, I’ve seen his best (which to my reckoning is his remake of Wes Craven’s 1977 movie, The Hills Have Eyes and his worst, which I think is Horns) and seeing the latter is more recent then the former I think I had a […]
