‘Severance’ Review – Season 2 Episode 4: Woe’s Hollow

The AppleTV+ show Severance is an extraordinary feat of imaginative filmmaking. Over the course of a critically acclaimed first season, and three episodes of funky mystery-box plotting, and a crazy cliffhanger which saw Outie Mark begin to be psychologically recalibrated with his Innie, the show has consistently agitated and cajoled …

‘Severance’ Review – Season 2 Episode 1: Hello, Ms. Cobel

When Apple announced their appearance on the streaming market, there was palpable excitement amongst media fans.

Wolfs Movie Review -MSB

‘Wolfs’ Review: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Endless, Entertaining Banter

Among all streaming services, Apple TV+ is the one that comes closest to the motto “quality over quantity.” Compared to Netflix, Max, Disney+, or Prime Video, the “apple network” doesn’t produce as much content – ugh, hate that word – but the average quality of its films and series is …

‘The Instigators’ Review: Star Power Can’t Save An Otherwise Dull Heist Flick

Doug Liman is known for kickstarting the Jason Bourne franchise with The Bourne Identity, but perhaps even more for what’s often considered one of the best action films of its decade, Edge of Tomorrow. Unfortunately, since that 2014 release, the filmmaker has been inconsistent with his work, producing reasonably satisfying …

Franklin Series Review

‘Franklin’ Review: Michael Douglas is pitch perfect in middling drama

AppleTV+ seems to be carving out a nice niche for itself in prestige period miniseries that combine the holy trinity of the genre: star-studded casts, rich production design, and a topic of historical importance delivered with a glossy respect. Franklin, created by Kirk Ellis – perhaps previously best known for creating HBO’s magnificent miniseries John Adams – fits the …

Manhunt Series Review

‘Manhunt’ Series Review: Cast Thrills in Gripping Historical Drama

It is likely that 99% of the audience for Manhunt will push play on the first episode knowing roughly how the events play out. Monica Beletsky’s seven-part adaptation uses James L.
