TV Review: Fuller House S1 E03, “Funner House”

By Tyler Hodg

In “Funner House”, the third episode of Fuller House, Stephanie and Kimmy treat DJ to a night out on the town, and the three leads head to a dance club–the type of place the eldest Tanner child hasn’t experienced in a while. The venue is packed with colorful characters, and includes the recurrence of Kimmy’s soon-to-be ex-husband and Ramona’s father, Fernando.

TV Review: Fuller House S1, E02, “Moving Day”

By Tyler Hodg

The second episode of Fuller House dials down the craziness of its predecessor and adds a bit more stability in nearly every aspect.

Netflix has revived unforgettable characters and ushered in new ones for their latest original series Fuller House–a show that plays off the familiar formula of its predecessor.

The Trailer Park Boys are a national treasure. While the trio doesn’t represent Canada as a whole, there is just something so Canadian about the show’s approach. Park resident J-Rock even built a car spoiler out of hockey sticks, for maple syrup’s sake.

Yet, somehow, the appeal of Trailer Park Boys extends globally. Following their onstage Netflix specials in Dublin and Minneapolis, the boys have traveled to Texas for a brand-new theater production titled Trailer Park Boys: Drunk, High, and Unemployed–Live In Austin.

The season one finale of Master of None delivers a healthy dose of both heartbreaking and laugh out loud moments, but unfortunately, fails to be the conclusion this show deserves. In fact, “Finale” somewhat sours the season altogether.

TV Review: Master Of None, Episode 9: “Mornings”

By Tyler Hodg

Master of None’s go-home show is the perfect culmination of Dev (Aziz Ansari) and Rachel’s (Noël Wells) relationship up to this point. “Mornings” gives us an in-depth look at casual conversations and arguments between the two that typically wouldn’t be shown in more elaborately-themed installments.

TV Review: Master of None, Episode 7: “Ladies and Gentlemen”

By Tyler Hodg

If you’re an ignorant, regressive feminist-hater, the best course of action would probably be to skip “Ladies and Gentlemen.”
