Powerless Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘Green Furious’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the eighth episode of Powerless… Is it being oversensitive to find many of the jokes in ‘Green Furious’ cruel or troubling? Is this what edgy feels like — being made to feel prudish watching a network comedy, without the slightest idea how to set the record straight? Shows, like The Office, were racy in […]

Powerless Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Van v Emily: Dawn of Justice’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the seventh episode of Powerless… Like Superman appearing on Supergirl, could a series regular who’s a superhero usurp Powerless from the powerless? The show has been pretty consistent each week about leaving Crimson Fox and Jack O’Lantern in the background for guest appearances. Maybe Crimson Fox has spoken to Emily twice (plus saved her life from […]

Powerless Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘I’ma Friend You’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the sixth episode of Powerless… It’s been a few weeks since we’ve had a new episode of Powerless but while the break appears related to scheduling, and not a planned hiatus, “I’ma Friend You” marks an adjustment in character communication that’s got the show back to the promise of where it started. Nobody is suddenly acting […]

Legion Season 1 Finale Review – ‘Chapter 8’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the season finale of Legion… If Legion‘s season finale could be summed up in one sentence it would be a lot of confident people trying to show each other up and subsequently getting publicly knocked down. Nobody’s power is secure. Farouk starts the name calling early with Lenny’s “Hey kid,” reminding David that she’s preparing […]

Legion Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Chapter Seven’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the seventh episode of Legion… Thinking back on when Legion started, how is it that we’ve reached a point in the show where we can say ‘we get it already. Enough with the clarification?’ Syd interrupts Cary’s explanation of the plan because she figured it out for herself. A lot of ‘Chapter 7’ could be interrupted this way […]

Legion Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Chapter Six’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the sixth episode of Legion… Back to Clockworks. Back to known diagnoses and med cycles. ‘Chapter 6,’ instigated by the Yellow Demon, is a digression back to where Legion started. It’s a lie, that transplants David’s new allies from Summerland and makes them patients, but is it a lie that’s hurting anybody? When it’s so easy for […]

Powerless Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Cold Season’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the fifth episode of Powerless… It’s Cold Season in Charm City, that time of year when warm weather requires winter coats because freezing supervillains are in town. Emily arrives at work with the notion that living in the Midwest has prepared her for snowy conditions. Instead she’s unsure what to wear, drinking warm soda Teddy […]
