Disney+’s ‘The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ Offers Surprising Character Depth [TV Review]

March 18, 2021 by Joe Lipsett

The first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will be an interesting litmus test for MCU fans. After a full year without a big screen blockbuster, there is plenty of pent-up demand for a Marvel action film that the small screen series aims to fill.  [Read more…]

After an interesting start to the season, it appears that Once Upon A Time has settled back into the same disappointing formula it established around mid-season last year. You know it’s a bad sign when Emma (Jennifer Morrison) is one of the better parts of the episode.

Magic may be back in Storybrooke, but that doesn’t mean that things have gotten any easier for its Maine residents. Thankfully Emma (Jennifer Morrison) sits most of the episode out, so the endeavour is nearly a completely thrilling success!

Now that is what I`m talking about. After complaining that the show has twiddled its narrative thumbs for the better part of its first season, Once Upon A Time takes a quantum leap forward and lays all of its cards on the table.
