Not A Not A Review Of “Daredevil”

~ James Viscosi ~ 4 Comments

So recently I’ve started watching the old Netflix Daredevil series, which is now a Disney+ series, because I want to get caught up before I watch the Disney+ Daredevil series Born Again, since the “Born Again” story arc is my favorite Daredevil one from the Marvel comic, but which, as I understand it, is not really a straight-up adaptation of the “Born Again” storyline but is, instead, a mash-up of some other storylines*, and they decided to use the title just to lure in suckers like me. Whew! Did you follow all that? If so, congratulations. You may be able to read a comic book without getting totally confused as to what’s going on.

Oh, and, before we continue …

Not A Review Of “Murderbot”

~ James Viscosi ~ 13 Comments

So recently, having finished up with all available seasons of The Serpent Queen*, we found ourselves in need of a new show to watch, possibly one that would blend drama and black comedy like TSQ did. Or maybe one that would blend science fiction and black comedy. Enter Murderbot.

Not A Review Of “The Pitt”

~ James Viscosi ~ 16 Comments

So recently, we (meaning me) have been watching a new show on HBO MAX called The Pitt, in which Noah Wyle plays an older, wiser Dr. John Carter, who has moved on from County General to take charge of the busy ER of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. No, I’m kidding.* He actually plays Dr. Perry Cox, who mentors/torments young physician J.D. … No, I’m kidding again. But there is a resemblance, don’t you think?

Dr. Cox
Dr. Robby
Well I mean they have both got beards …

Why Are You Wearing That Stupid Man Suit?

~ James Viscosi ~ 6 Comments

It’s been a while since I did a “Not A Review” post, mainly because we’ve mostly been watching things my wife actually wants to see. (Even those put her to sleep sometimes, of course, and then I might throw on an episode of Umbrella Academy or whatever; but since at that point my wife is already asleep I can’t really say how long it took to put her to sleep, now, can I?)

Six Feet Over

~ James Viscosi ~ 11 Comments

So we recently concluded our viewing of the classic MAX HBO MAX HBO series Six Feet Under, and along the way I accumulated a few interactions with and observations from my wife that I meant to turn into posts but never got around to doing. This seems like a good opportunity to collect them into a little omnibus of sorts, doesn’t it? And since these are all late-season occurrences, it goes without saying that there will be …

Not A Review Of The Trailer For “Godzilla x Kong”

~ James Viscosi ~ 16 Comments

So the other day, I happened to catch the trailer for the upcoming film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Whaddya think? Does it look like something I would watch?

Not A Review Of “Six Feet Under”

~ James Viscosi ~ 12 Comments

So not long ago, having recently finished Mr. Robot, a show that, perhaps surprisingly, my wife really liked:

Wife: “Poor Elliot. His life sucks.”*

We started casting around for another program to become or “main course”, a position previously occupied by such luminaries as Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Halt and Catch Fire (my personal favorite, because computer nerds), The Wire, and Treme (but not The Magicians). Someone somewhere recommended another show we missed the first time around, Six Feet Under, so we decided to give that one a try.
