Netflix announced suddenly last week that the new season of Daredevil was dropping October 19th, and now here’s the trailer for it. Looks like Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin is back in play, after sitting out most of the second season in prison. No more Elektra, apparently (I cannot stand Matt and Karen together, so I’m hopeful that she may show up at some point anyway). And rumor is that famous Daredevil villain Bullseye will finally show up this season- maybe he’s the guy in the costume at the end here.
Full Trailer for 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' Mixes Comedy and Horror
A full look at this gives a taste of the back and forth tone they seem to be going for here, and it may seem a bit strange, but I’ll give it a shot. Miranda Otto and Lucy Davis as Aunts Zelda and Hilda seem promising too- they can bring the kooky.
Anne Shirley for a new generation
REVIEW: "Anne" Seasons 1 & 2
Anne Shirley for a new generation
Like a lot of people, I read the Anne of Green Gables books as a kid (although I think I stopped somewhere around Anne of the Island, so maybe I ought to go back and finish). Anne Shirley was the heroine to many an adolescent girl- a dreamer who reached for the skies while hating her hair and her looks, a fiery redhead who wanted to fulfill her dreams, an orphan whose makeshift family proves more loving than anyone else’s. Of course, the story is so well known that it’s had countless film and television adaptations, the most famous being the 1980’s CBC miniseries. But now it’s back again in the form of a new Canadian series, called Anne (or Anne With an E for Netflix’s international distribution, but I refuse to call it that), which is loosely based on the original books. By “loosely,” we’re talking character names, occasional events from the book (not necessarily in order) and a lot of made up incidents. This may prove aggravating to purists (and there are a lot of those when we’re dealing with a property this beloved), but I find it refreshing to not necessarily know everything that’s going to happen. Think of this one as more along the lines of the 1970’s Little House on the Prairie show- inspired by but not necessarily based strictly on the Laura Ingalls Wilder novels.
The show was created by Moira Walley-Beckett (a veteran writer/producer from Breaking Bad of all things) and the first season skewed a little closer to some of the events in the early part of the first book, but Walley-Beckett is most interested in updating the story to fit to modern times. This Anne is more or less a feminist in the making, and the issues Walley-Beckett wants the show to deal with are more serious subjects that could affect women at any time. I don’t mind this radical interpretation of it- I always wonder myself how to update period pieces to deal with contemporary material (one of the shows that did this best was Steven Soderbergh’s very underrated The Knick). The success of shows like Stranger Things has re-opened the door for more films and series to take young people seriously, and this is a rare show that centers a child (Anne is thirteen in the first season) and her classmates, while also giving adequate screentime to Marilla (played very well by Geraldine James) and her brother Matthew (R.H. Thomson, given a lot more screentime than the character has ever seen before). In this version, there are traumatic flashbacks to Anne’s time at the abusive, Dickensian orphanage and the appropriate amount of horror paid to the experience of her first period (another subject rarely tackled in period pieces, though surely many women have wondered how they managed back then- just towels??? Horror indeed).
Love hits Gilbert pretty much at first sight in this one
By veering closer to the book, the seven episode first season is more successful overall than the second (this is my favorite version of the Gilbert “carrots” tease- and Gilbert himself is perfectly cast with the very appealing Lucas Jade Zumann), but let’s talk about what makes Anne worth watching, and that’s Amybeth McNulty, giving one of the very best child performances I’ve ever seen on television. I don’t say that lightly, but even as I do, I warn you that me saying that does not guarantee that you’ll like her character, and that is exactly what makes it so brave. McNulty is a unique screen presence from the beginning, the very first version of Anne that actually warrants the label of awkward or even homely, and as a character her outspokenness often comes across as rude, arrogant, or ignorant while also throwing herself into this imaginative, at times selfish girl with true abandon. There are episodes that you want to throttle her, others where she embodies the inspiration and spirit of a true rebel ahead of her time. It’s a bold performance because whatever she is, she’s never unconvincing as the true eccentric who comes to Avonlea to shake things up. I have no doubt that she will be a polarizing character and your response to her may dictate whether you can stick with this show or not. But I admire her gusto wholeheartedly and I think she often delivers Anne’s flowery, over the top diatribes in a way that no other actress her age probably could.
The ten episode second season hit a couple of speed bumps, one involving a (thankfully) three episode storyline about two con artists who scam the townspeople out of their savings with a literal gold-digging scheme, and Gilbert’s sojourn traveling the world is kind of farfetched and keeps him and Anne away from each other for far too long. But it does more or less successfully introduce some diversity into the very white world of turn of the century Avonlea with the likable original character of Bash (Dalmar Abuzeid), who travels back to Canada with Gilbert to help him tend his farm. Most of the season has nothing whatsoever to do with anything from the books though, so if you were waiting for that, you’re out of luck. More contemporary issues are introduced, with Miss Stacy as a motorbike riding, pants wearing, first wave feminist, and Diana’s Aunt Josephine in this version is a bohemian lesbian whose longtime partner has passed away. New classmate Cole is also gay, and these are revelations which Anne miraculously accepts as perfectly fine with her, the consummate outsider. Is it anachronistic? Perhaps, but it gives the show a special kind of tone that’s all its own- a tone that can be a bit strange at times as it volleys back and forth among these present day concerns. Not every character is likable either (Cole himself didn’t do much for me, sorry), but I enjoy the show enough to stay with it- in some ways it’s a bit like Downton Abbey meets Stranger Things, and you have to admit that’s an odd combination. But the Netflix budget provides for a lovely production that’s elaborate in it’s early 1900’s detail, and the supporting cast works wonders with what they’re given. It’s an interesting experiment with some heavily used material, one that could use a refresher.
Grade: B+
Anne and Diana meet a lot more free spirits in this version than ever before
Amy Adams shines once more in a showcase role
REVIEW: "Sharp Objects"
Amy Adams shines once more in a showcase role
Gillian Flynn’s first novel Sharp Objects was a pulpy, twisted, very dark mystery-thriller about a family’s long hidden secrets and the pain and cruelty inflicted on and by angry and abused women. The HBO miniseries created by Marti Noxon and directed by Jean Marc-Vallee stays true to that brutal spirit but cloaks it in the veneer of the classic HBO prestige drama, recruiting talented actors like Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson to inhabit the roles of the leads with class and convincing misery.
But the show is probably not for everyone, seeing as it revels in the atmosphere of the unpleasant little town of Wind Gap, Missouri (though filmed in Louisiana and Los Angeles) and takes its time in unwinding this murder mystery that St. Louis reporter Camille Preaker (Adams) is sent back to her hometown to investigate. The novel was a swift 250 pages, so this eight episode series has to really elongate events in order to fill that time (I think they could have done this in five or six episodes, to be honest). Camille is a damaged, somewhat unstable alcoholic who barely fits the term “functioning” and there are a lot of sequences of her driving around Wind Gap, taking in the scene while fragments of her childhood flash back and forth throughout the series, leaving it to the audience to piece together what happened.
Australian Eliza Scanlen is a breakout star as Amma
Clarkson plays Adora, Camille’s cruel and uncaring mother, in perfect Wicked Stepmother fashion. She owns the local pig factory and uses her late husband’s wealth to run things in this town, while holding the corrupt sheriff in the palm of her hand. Suspects in the murder of two 12-year old girls run the gamut of just about everyone Camille comes in contact with as she tries to investigate, but the case feels secondary to the personal traumas and family drama revealed in Camille’s unfolding backstory. The series is very grim and unsettling, which matches the tone of the book yet may make for an unpleasant viewing experience, as there’s not much relief from the proceedings. But Amy Adams is superb- she even lowers her voice a register and affects a mild southern accent to convey the depths of Camille’s pain and vulnerability, and the same goes for Clarkson and especially newcomer Eliza Scanlen as Camille’s half sister Amma, a hellion who rules over the younger girls in Wind Gap and figures into the mystery in her own way.
If you haven’t read the book I’m not sure if there are enough clues dropped along the way to wrap you up in the whodunit of it all- this is the kind of show that wants to place you into this disturbing atmosphere so that you can maybe infer what happened while becoming caught up in the lasting effects that abuse can have on female survivors of trauma. The rage, the misery, the disappointment, the festering open wounds- it’s a pressure cooker waiting to drive some people to the breaking point. Imperfections aside, the show is an impressive achievement- a slow burning, but highly satisfying drama that gets under your skin and stays there.
Grade: A-
Mother-daughter relationship from hell
Claire Foy wins the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama for her last season on ‘The Crown’
'Game of Thrones,' and 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Win Top Emmy Awards
Claire Foy wins the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama for her last season on ‘The Crown’
Well, that was a very dull ceremony accompanied by some good winners, at least in terms of my predictions. I was thrilled to see Matthew Rhys (yay!!) win lead actor for The Americans after all these years, and my instincts were right on Claire Foy winning as well. Peter Dinklage picked up his third Emmy for Game of Thrones and the show won yet again in series, despite losing in the writing and directing categories this time. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel really dominated the comedy categories, and since I don’t watch the show I can’t comment on that too much, but Bill Hader AND Henry Winkler both won for Barry, which was awesome! The usual suspects won in the variety categories, aside from RuPaul, who finally won in reality/competition, which was pretty cool. The best moment of the show was probably Glenn Weiss, the director of last years Oscars ceremony, using his acceptance speech to propose to his girlfriend, which brought the house down and livened up a really dead hosting job from Colin Jost and Michael Che. Seriously, never bring those guys back, Emmys. They were every bit as bad and awkward as I thought they’d be.

Kiernan Shipka Stars in 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' on Netflix
The first teaser for the new reboot of Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the Archies spinoff character) is here, starring Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka- remember little Sally? Well she’s all grown up now and casting spells in Vancouver, the city where nearly every new show films these days. This is from Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and the shows are kinda sorta related, but it’s not an actual spinoff. Actually, even though I watch it, Riverdale is such a trashy show that this being another one from him gives me pause, but it’s also on Netflix, so maybe the darker, cultier witch stuff can be more interesting here. The first season drops on the seasonally appropriate October 26th.
Emmy Predictions 2018, Part 4: Drama
Alright, so we arrive at our final destination, the drama categories. Usually my favorite, because I am much more informed on most of these nominations, and feel better about predicting winners here. This year I’m expecting it to be a little more predictable, with Game of Thrones likely to run the table once more, after last year’s ineligibility produced wins for The Handmaid’s Tale. This year I think it’s back to business as usual.
DRAMA SERIES
‘Game of Thrones’ will likely come back on top for Season 7
The Handmaid’s Tale
Game of Thrones
This is Us
The Crown
The Americans
Stranger Things
Westworld
So like I said, Game of Thrones was off the air last season, which led to Emmy dominance for the freshman show The Handmaid’s Tale instead, but now that it’s back in play, I think it’s likely to come back and sweep. I don’t see much of a chance for any other show to break through, much love as there is for Stranger Things and The Crown, and despite this being the last chance to award The Americans with a series win, I doubt it happens for them.
Winner: Game of Thrones
Alternate: The Handmaid’s Tale
Dark Horse: The Americans (I suppose there’s a tiny chance that admiration for the show in its last season could help it win this)
DRAMA ACTOR
Come on Matthew Rhys- six years doing incredible work on ‘The Americans’ deserves a capstone Emmy
Jason Bateman, Ozark
Sterling K. Brown, This is Us
Ed Harris, Westworld
Matthew Rhys, The Americans
Milo Ventimiglia, This is Us
Jeffrey Wright, Westworld
Sterling K. Brown won last year and could repeat again, but…I think the lead acting races are where The Americans actors actually have a chance to win gold for the final season, even if the show doesn’t. I remember that Kyle Chandler finally won in lead for the much beloved and under appreciated Friday Night Lights in its final season, same with Jon Hamm, who didn’t get his Mad Men Emmy until the very last year. I think I’m going to predict my beloved Matthew Rhys for this, even though it’s a wild card.
Winner: Matthew Rhys
Alternate: Sterling K. Brown
DRAMA ACTRESS
Could easily be Elisabeth Moss again, but I’m holding out hope for Foy
Claire Foy, The Crown
Tatiana Maslany, Orphan Black
Elisabeth Moss, The Handmaid’s Tale
Sandra Oh, Killing Eve
Keri Russell, The Americans
Evan Rachel Wood, Westworld
Now this one is really interesting. I could honestly see any one of these women winning this except for Evan Rachel Wood. Keri Russell could get it for the same reason Matthew Rhys might win, love for The Americans’ final season. Elisabeth Moss could be your traditional repeat winner from last year. Sandra Oh has gotten a lot of publicity as the first Asian woman ever nominated in this category. Maslany simply on the strength of her always dazzling performance as multiple people, even though Orphan Black’s last season was well over a year ago. And then there’s Claire Foy, whose performance as Elizabeth II has won two SAG awards and a Golden Globe, but not the Emmy yet, and this is her last chance to win, since the leads have all been recast on The Crown as it jumps through time. I’m leaning towards Foy for some reason- I just have a feeling it could happen for her.
Winner: Claire Foy
Alternate: Elisabeth Moss
Dark Horse: Keri Russell
DRAMA SUPPORTING ACTOR
I think David Harbour will win a trophy for Hopper on ‘Stranger Things’
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Game of Thrones
Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
Joseph Fiennes, The Handmaid’s Tale
David Harbour, Stranger Things
Mandy Patinkin, Homeland
Matt Smith, The Crown
This one is kinda tough too. I’m thinking that Stranger Things’ David Harbour might win here. Dinklage is always a possibility, but more likely to win one more time for the final season of GOT next year, and Matt Smith is a nice nomination for The Crown as Prince Phillip, but I don’t see the buzz or urgency behind anyone else in this category, really. Harbour is a likable presence on Stranger Things, I think he’ll get it.
Winner: David Harbour
Alternate: Peter Dinklage
DRAMA SUPPORTING ACTRESS
I guess I’m just going to keep predicting this for Lena Headey until it happens for her
Alexis Bledel, The Handmaid’s Tale
Mille Bobby Brown, Stranger Things
Ann Dowd, The Handmaid’s Tale
Lena Headey, Game of Thrones
Vanessa Kirby, The Crown
Thandie Newton, Westworld
Yvonne Strahovski, The Handmaid’s Tale
I should confess here that I quit The Handmaid’s Tale a few episodes into the second season. The show just isn’t for me, it’s unbearably grim and hopeless and borderline torture porn, In my opinion. That doesn’t negate the tremendous job of the actors of course, but I wonder if three of them in this category might cancel each other out. But then who’s likely to benefit from that? Is it Lena Headey? Will she ever win for Game of Thrones? Usually the series winner takes at least one acting award along with it, so could that be her or Dinklage? Not sure. But since I don’t have a sense of who’s out in front here, I think I might go ahead and predict her for it. Not confident about this though.
Winner: Lena Headey
Alternate: Ann Dowd
Dark Horse: Yvonne Strahovski (I hear she gave the most impressive performance on Handmaid’s this season)
New challenges await the riot conspirators in maximum security
REVIEW: "Orange is the New Black" Season 6
New challenges await the riot conspirators in maximum security
After all these years, one thing I really admire about Orange is the New Black is its ongoing willingness to change up the status quo. A lot of people hated last season’s three day riot which stretched over thirteen episodes and involved a lot of seemingly filler material, but I appreciated the attempt to be ambitious and to try something new, rather than repeating the same old formula, which starts to takes its toll on an aging show as it is. This year, the aftermath of the riot had to continue to play out, so if you hated that story so much you quit the show, I guess I wouldn’t recommend coming back to it, but I actually though this very busy, all over the place Season 6 was, overall, the show’s best since Season 2.
First of all, we jettison quite a few of the inmates to a prison in Cleveland, transferring most of the mains over to Litchfield Max, the effect of which is to mix a lot of the original regulars up together regardless of the usual race and ethnicity cliques, so we can see new pairings of characters we’ve known forever, like Flaca and Cindy, or Suzanne and Doggett of all people. The aftermath of the riot continues to play itself out, as the feds come in to investigate what happened and pin the incident on a handful of prisoners, Red in particular, who suffers big-time consequences for her actions last year. The new max settings provide for a new group of far more dangerous inmates for our regulars to encounter, divided into prison block gangs led by the sister murderesses Barb (Mackenzie Phillips) and Carol (Henny Russell), who function more or less as this season’s villains and do a pretty enjoyable job of it, actually. Piper (Taylor Schilling) is reliably focused on staying out of trouble for once and just wants to settle down with Alex (Laura Prepon), since her prison sentence is finally coming to an end (the longest thirteen month jail sentence in history), but is tormented by the season’s worst new character, Boston bully Madison Murphy, a max inmate played by Amanda Fuller, who insists on doing possibly the worst Boston accent in the history of acting- I’m sorry but she was so irritating that she redefined the term nails on a chalkboard all over again for me. I can’t believe we’re going to have to continue with her into next season.
The max inmates threaten the newbies
But as always, the storylines and the massive cast of characters keep the plots moving along like clockwork so that if one person is so annoying she makes you want to claw your eyes and ears out (sorry Murphy) we usually jump over to something else going on to take your attention away from it soon enough. The good part is that even though so many characters leads to dull filler and has over the years, this time with our main characters consolidated, there isn’t really any time spent with people you don’t know by now or aren’t invested in. In a way it’s a throwback to the first season, when Piper was introduced to all these people- this time as she finishes her sentence (yes, she does get released in the finale), it’s like playing catch up with all the people we got to know best through her. Tastee goes on trial for the murder of last season’s sadistic Piscatella, while Nick Sandow’s reliable Caputo tries everything to help her beat the rap, and Doggett has a brief sojourn on the outside before finally (this took way too long) getting rid of the awful Coates and voluntarily turning herself back in. In non Piper/Alex romance news, Caputo and Fig finally start a real relationship, and Daya starts a fling with a female prisoner (the appealing new addition of Vicci Martinez as “Daddy,” I’ll take more her and less Murphy please) and starts doing heroin as she settles in for life after pleading guilty to murder of her own accord last year.
As always, there are allusions to current politics (an ICE storyline is promised for next season for poor Blanca) and plenty of jokes and shenanigans with inmates like Nicky, Cindy and Flaca to keep things light and keep OITNB the dark comedy (yes, comedy) I have always believed it to be. With Piper finally out now though and no prospect for a return to Litchfield minimum security, it may be time to start winding things down- I wouldn’t be surprised if the seventh season is the last, but unlike some, I think the show continues to remain on the whole, engaging, funny, interesting and provocative- not so easy a feat for a long running series, but one that this show has managed wonderfully well for a long time.
Grade: A-
A new world awaits Piper in Season 7
Emmy Predictions 2018, Part 3: Comedy
Okay, so now we’re onto comedy. I’m 4 for 8 on the shows nominated in series, so that makes me perhaps a little more informed here, but you never know, really. With Veep out of the running this year, the two possible frontrunners happen to be the ones that I haven’t watched (of course), but I’ll try to handicap it the best I can.
COMEDY SERIES
‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ will battle ‘Atlanta’ for the Emmy win
Atlanta
Barry
Black-ish
Curb Your Enthusiasm
GLOW
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Silicon Valley
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Okay, so like I said, Veep wasn’t on the air this year, so that takes it out of the running, leaving an opening for a new show to win, finally. Of the new ones, you know that my favorites are Barry and GLOW, but I think the honor for them is in being nominated for their first seasons, while old standbys Silicon Valley and Kimmy Schmidt are past their prime. Atlanta is nominated for the most awards, including two directing and writing nominations, while Mrs. Maisel is also in there for those and both shows won a couple of early awards at the Creative Arts Emmys this last weekend. I think it’s one of them, but I’m not sure which. The thing is is that Maisel is more overtly comedic while Atlanta is more of a drama a lot of the time and those don’t tend to win here. So I may give the Amy Sherman-Palladino show the edge for that reason.
Winner: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Alternate: Atlanta
Dark Horse: GLOW (just because)
COMEDY ACTOR
Donald Glover likely to repeat as Emmy winner for Comedy Actor
Anthony Anderson, Black-ish
Ted Danson, The Good Place
Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm
Donald Glover, Atlanta
Bill Hader, Barry
William H. Macy, Shameless
Gonna go with Donald Glover to repeat on this one. It’d be cool to see legend Ted Danson get it, but I think with Atlanta having all those nominations, he has the advantage.
Winner: Donald Glover
Alternate: Ted Danson
COMEDY ACTRESS
Rachel Brosnahan will win her first Emmy for ‘Mrs. Maisel’
Pamela Adlon, Better Things
Rachel Brosnahan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Allison Janney, Mom
Issa Rae, Insecure
Tracee Ellis Ross, Black-ish
Lily Tomlin, Grace & Frankie
The frontrunner is definitely Maisel’s Rachel Brosnahan, who may have even won if Julia Louis-Dreyfus was eligible this year for Veep. She’ll pick this one up easily.
Winner: Rachel Brosnahan
Alternate: Tracee Ellis-Ross
Dark Horse: Issa Rae

Crossing my fingers for Henry Winkler’s hilarious turn on ‘Barry’
Louie Anderson, Baskets
Alec Baldwin, Saturday Night Live
Titus Burgess, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Tony Shalhoub, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Kenan Thompson, Saturday Night Live
Henry Winkler, Barry
I’d love to see Henry Winkler get this, but I just hope it’s not Alec Baldwin again. I’m starting to get annoyed with the SNL actors getting nominated in the supporting acting categories- they should really have their own category like they used to for “Individual Performance in a Variety Series.” It feels unfair to the other actors in this category. They might be over Baldwin this year though- he was on the show less and maybe it’s time to give this one to somebody else.
Winner: Henry Winkler
Alternate: Tony Shalhoub (he’s an old Emmy favorite, he might be being underestimated)
Dark Horse: Kenan Thompson

Can Kate McKinnon three-peat for the Emmy?
Zazie Beetz, Atlanta
Alex Borstein, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Aidy Bryant, Saturday Night Live
Betty Gilpin, GLOW
Leslie Jones, Saturday Night Live
Kate McKinnon, Saturday Night Live
Laurie Metcalf, Roseanne
Megan Mullally, Will & Grace
Speaking of SNL people hogging up the slots. I think Kate McKinnon has a strong chance to win again, despite being a two-time winner now. But Borstein could take it for Maisel also. I doubt anyone from Roseanne would win but it is funny that Metcalf (who won three times for that role in the past) is the one who skated through the controversy to a nomination anyway.
Winner: Kate McKinnon
Alternate: Alex Borstein
Brianna Shows Up in New Trailer for 'Outlander' Season 4
Looks like they’re going to do a lot more of the present day Bree/Roger stuff than I was thinking, but I really hope it’s not dwelled on too much. Otherwise the adventures in colonial America look pretty exciting for Season 4! I can’t wait until November 4th.
