    This is a series I’ve heard nothing but good things about for what seems like forever, and it has been on my watch list for quite a while. It finally popped up on Hulu JP, and so I’ve been watching it with my wife (3 episodes so far), and yes, it’s indeed quite good. It…

    This is one of the latest batch of pilots on Amazon, and I sure hope it gets picked up as a series. I’ve never read the Philip K. Dick book it’s based on, and didn’t really know what to expect from the series, but man was I sucked into this world after even just this…

    Well, what can I say, I still really dig this show, and I’m glad that a new season has started. So far, so good. It’s kinda nice seeing Frank slightly domesticated with Sheila.

    Gotta say I’ve been really enjoying this. It’s a new wrestling promotion that airs on the El Rey network, and focuses on the lucha libre style of wrestling – and is in fact connected to the Mexican AAA promotion. It does a great job of creating storylines to introduce all of these unknown (to me…

    In what has become an annual tradition – I’ve done it for the past 4 years, although those posts are now all lost to the ether due to my big server shutdown of 2014 – I like to end the year with a big post that goes through my favorite media of the year. This…

    I haven’t watched a full episode of The Colbert Report in years, but I did want to watch the final episode, and it was definitely a nice – and appropriately wacky – sendoff. Even though I didn’t watch it week-by-week, I would still get a taste here and there through online clips, and I was…

    With all the buzz this UK series has been getting of late – a new special just aired – I decided to finally check it out, and I’m sure glad I did. I just watched the very first episode (there are 2 seasons of 3 episodes each, plus the new special) and it was definitely…

    I’ve only watched the first episode of this 3-part mini-series that aired last week on Syfy, and it’s surprisingly really interesting (so far). The setup is really neat – the US sends out a spaceship in the 60s, on a 100-year voyage to a new world, and a crime happens 50 years in. Without spoiling…

    I’m quite enjoying the Monday Night War documentary series, that tells the story of the ratings battles between WWE and WCW in the 90s. Other than the 80s era, I got interested again in pro wrestling in the late 90s, around the time I moved to Japan. What you realize also is that the pro…

    This is such a fantastically wonderful series, I can’t recommend it enough. I’m not done watching all of the episodes yet – it’s a 10-episode mini-series, and each episode is pretty short – but I already know that it’s going to be something I’ll continue to enjoy for a long time to come. I really…
