Series
Limited Series and season reviews from all around the world. Every review is under 1 minute read.
High Desert – Season One [2023] on AppleTV+
High Desert on AppleTV+ starring Patricia Arquette will leave you asking yourself, in a good way: What did I just watch?
Ghosts of Beirut [2023] on Showtime/Paramount+
Showtime’s Ghosts of Beirut can be broken into two parts: Two great and informative episodes. And two sci-fi episodes that felt taken from 24.
Waco – Limited Series [2018] on Paramount+
Waco, the series, will offend some people. However, its facts-based approach is what makes it special and worth it.
American Born Chinese – Season One [2023] on Disney+
American Born Chinese is both confusing and interesting. A lot of practical effects mixed with that I’m going to assume a lot of mythology.
Rabbit Hole – Season One [2023] on Paramount+
Rabbit Hole has a LOT of potential. Even though season one felt a little underbaked, fans of 24 will enjoy the return of Kiefer Sutherland.
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies – Season One [2023] on Paramount+
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is clearly trying to modernize the original movie while acting as a prequel. Is it fun? Yes.
Catching Lightning – Documentary Series [2023] on Showtime/Paramount+
Catching Lightning might not be the best documentary, but the robbery is interesting enough for you to watch this limited series.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – Season 5 [2023] on Prime Video
Mrs. Maisel wraps up an incredible series on Amazon Prime Video with a good final season. Not a great one.
Ted Lasso – Season Three [2023] on AppleTV+
Ted Lasso on AppleTV+ thankfully ends with this season three. The show outlived its potential and its cheesy dad jokes.
Citadel – Season One [2023] on Prime Video
Citadel left me in disbelief. An overpriced and overextended pilot with great stars and a high budget that goes nowhere.
Ghosts (US) – Season Two [2023] on CBS/Paramount+/GlobalTV
Ghosts (the US version) on CBS might not be a new show anymore, but it certainly kept it fresh with season two.
CSI: Vegas – Season Two [2022] on CBS/Paramount+/GlobalTV
CSI: Vegas got away from what made the first season a mixed bag. But the push for a “season arc” made the second outing disappointing.
Salon Zahra – صالون زهرة – Season Two [2022]
Season two of Salon Zahra on Shahid is forced. Yes, it’s fun, but lots of filler makes it feel a bit lost and imbalanced.
