Netflix’s ‘He’s All That’ is Surprisingly Fun and Frivolous [Review]

August 27, 2021 by Joe Lipsett

She’s All That is an iconic late 90s YA text. So what happens when you remake it for Netflix for contemporary audiences?

It’s the end of the road for the first season of The Bridge. After a bit of a mixed bag run, does the FX drama end on a high note?

After weeks of unfortunate serial killer revenge drama, The Bridge rights the ship with a return to plotting and characters that we fell in love with back when the series began.

The Bridge review – 1×11: ‘Take The Ride, Pay The Toll’

September 19, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Looking around the Internet, reviews of The Bridge review read “The End of a Nightmare”, “The central mystery hits its peak” and, most amusingly, “the killer’s motives and methods are revealed” (these weren’t clear before?). None of these statements are incorrect…and yet I can’t help but feel frustrated and annoyed at this supposedly “climatic” episode.

The Bridge review – 1×10: ‘Old Friends’

September 12, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

The Bridge delivers an anti-climatic episode as Marco (Demián Bichir) and Sonya (Diane Kruger) race to save Gus (Carlos Pratt) and the serial killer tropes pile up.

After the visual heights of last week’s fetishization episode, The Bridge returns with arguably its most plot driven episode as we learn the true identity of the Bridge Butcher.
