‘WandaVision’ season finale dissatisfies audiences

Griffin Sendek | multimedia editor 3/11/21 After eight long weeks, WandaVision has finally come to a close. The season finale is emblematic of the show itself — brilliant in its quiet moments, and held back by questionable story decisions.

WandaVision introduces a pop of color to the series

Griffin Sendek multimedia editor 1/28/21 WandaVision episode three “Now In Color” sheds the black and white and plunges itself into a vibrant technicolor display, replicating the look and feel of 1970s sitcoms. “Now In Color” is filled to the brim with playful gags and charming character moments centered around Wanda’s (Elizebeth Olsen) inexplicable, unnaturally quickly progressing pregnancy.

Season … Continue reading The Worst Witch is a treat for viewers young and old

In turn, a new season grants a new opportunity to right the wrongs of the previous one. Overall, season 2 of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a mixed bag … Continue reading She-Ra reboot returns with iffy second season

Season 4 of ‘BoJack’ is television excellence

By Zach Landau | A&E Editor Coming off the heels of a shocking and emotionally-devastating season finale, BoJack Horseman repositions itself as the premiere animated comedy about a horse who is, to borrow from the show’s lexicon, too much, man. The emotional and comedic depth offered in its last three seasons provided the perfect fodder for even more jokes, more laughs and more gut-punches as … Continue reading Season 4 of ‘BoJack’ is television excellence
