TV Review: Castlevania Season 35/11/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  I just wanted to spend the whole season watching Alucard's day-to-day self-isolating. It would have been illuminating. (Image Courtesy of: vox.com) Quick Take: Castlevania Season 3 fully commits to its premise in brutal, violent, sexually-charged glee. It is intensely mature yet openly philosophical with the imagination to take bold moves to advance the story and ideas of this brutal vampire series.
Written by: Kevin Berge  Lothor would like everyone to know that his plan is full proof, he is a master tactician, and should not be questioned even when repeatedly embarrassed. (Image Courtesy of: youtube.com) Quick Take: Voltron: Legendary Defender Season 4 feels more like season 3 part 2 rather than its own season, but the growing web of character dynamics makes this another engrossing experience. In particular, its humor mixed in with growing stakes make this a worthy addition to a great franchise.
Written by: Kevin Berge  Ah, classic teenage angst. Girl wants to get away from her family, maybe have sex with guy. Guy isn't sure if he's a psychopath and wants to kill girl. (Image Courtesy of: filmschoolrejects.com) Quick Take: The End of the F***ing World has a unique style and flair that makes it funny and sometimes surprisingly moving. It is filled with over the top characters and moments while driving home the point that life is not as simple as one ever thinks especially at a young age.
Written by: Kevin Berge  DreamWorks, just wanted to make a fun show that reminded people about the old days of massive robots and colorful teams working together, and the creators decided to add alternate dimensions to the mix. I'm sure DW was baffled. (Image Courtesy of: amazon.com) Quick Take: Voltron: Legendary Defender Season 3 is shorter than previous seasons, closer to a half-season, but it packs in a lot of storytelling. By reshaping the team dynamic and opening up new avenues with the villains, the third season is the most involved to date.
TV Introduction: Riverdale4/1/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  I would like to submit the request to please not put the star of the show in the background with two supporting characters. (Image Courtesy of: youtube.com) Quick Take: Riverdale Season 1 is a messy, melodramatic CW experience that is surprisingly at its heart emotional thanks to a few key character journeys. It is not going to worth the journey for most, but those willing to forgive its faults can enjoy its best qualities.
