The Idol
Hello Angel. In what was to be a sure fire hit for both director Sam Levinson and the newly retitled streaming service, Max, HBO’s The Idol is a curious beast that finds genuinely interesting ideas within it’s material. However, with abrupt pacing, character development that doesn’t pay off, and occasional incoherent subplots, keep this series…

Barry: Season 4 Premiere
I got you Barry. The Bill Hader led HBO show, Barry, returns for a fourth and final season, along with a two episode premiere that very well may be one of the best season premieres I have ever witnessed. It’s always amazed me how easily it is to root for the admittedly evil character that…

Breaking Bad
Say my name. Before watching the critically acclaimed show Breaking Bad, I had the misconception that HBO was the only company worth my time when viewing “prestige” television. I was wrong.
