Lonesome Dove (1989) Review
Lonesome Dove (1989) rates 10 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Six and a half hours of television that does what almost no Western film has room for, which is to follow a cattle drive long enough that the…

2020sThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) Review
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) rates 5 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Two superb scenes about who gets to carry a national symbol, connected by four episodes of pursuit. Carl Lumbly appears twice and gives the…
2020sHawkeye (2021) Review
Hawkeye (2021) rates 6 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. A small warm Christmas crime story about a middle-aged man who wants to go home, and the modesty is the point. Hailee Steinfeld is the best new character of…
2020sLoki Season 1 (2021) Review
Loki Season 1 (2021) rates 7 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. The best thing the Marvel streaming era produced, because it has a governing idea and obeys its own rules. A bureaucracy that files away every life that…
2020sMoon Knight (2022) Review
Moon Knight (2022) rates 5 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Four episodes of the most distinctive television the franchise made, then two conventional ones. The asylum episode is the high point and the series never recovers from resolving…
2020sMs. Marvel (2022) Review
Ms. Marvel (2022) rates 1 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. The family material and the Partition episode belong to a genuinely good show, and they are surrounded by a superhero origin whose purpose is to place a character…
2020sShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022) Review
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022) rates minus one out of ten on the rewatch scale. A legal comedy in a world with superhumans is a genuinely good premise and the series is not interested in it. What it is interested…
2020sWandaVision (2021) Review
WandaVision (2021) rates 6 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Three episodes of genuine formal invention, three of increasingly conventional plot, and a finale that answers a question the audience had stopped wanting answered. The sitcom pastiche is the…
2020sWhat If…? Season 1 (2021) Review
What If...? Season 1 (2021) rates 7 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. An anthology is the correct form for a franchise this size, because each episode can end somewhere unrecoverable. The Doctor Strange episode is the darkest thing…
2020sAgatha All Along (2024) Review
Agatha All Along (2024) rates 1 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. A spin-off built from a supporting character on the assumption that being enjoyable in a small part means you can carry nine episodes. Kathryn Hahn is good…
2020sIronheart (2025) Review
Ironheart (2025) rates 1 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. The series that closed Phase 5, three years after its protagonist was installed in a film that had other business. A character handed a show on the strength of…
2020sLoki Season 2 (2023) Review
Loki Season 2 (2023) rates 7 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. It finishes an argument the first season opened instead of starting a new one, and it ends with a decision that cannot be taken back. Almost nothing…
