WandaVision Episode 4, "We Interrupt this Program" Recap and Review

“We Interrupt this Program” is the bridge episode for WandaVison, made even more obvious by the very literal title. A successful bridge episode is hard to pull off, often classified as “filler”, and it pains me to say that WandaVision fails to be an exception.

'Legion' Episode 8 Review: It All Comes Down To This..

It’s incredibly hard to fathom the amount of time that has flown by because Legion: Season 1 has come to an end after a very swift eight weeks. Oddly enough, this was easily the most grounded episode of Legion yet and how fitting for finale night?

'Legion' Episode 7 Review: The Great Escape!

Legion has not only premiered its best episode yet, but one of the best episodes of television ever created. What a shame that there is still one episode left because there’s almost no way in the world that the finale will be as good as Chapter 7, but this show is full of surprises and who knows what kind of tricks Noah Hawley has up his sleeves?

'Legion' Episode 6 Review: Through The Mind's Eye

Well, it APPEARED that Legion had its first bad episode, but of course with this show anything can happen within a matter of minutes. After getting to the end, this is definitely the weakest episode thus far, but that’s not really saying much because in the end this episode had multiple layers beneath what was on the surface.

'Legion' Episode 5 Review: Lenny, Lenny, and did I say Lenny?

Lenny, Lenny, and did I say Lenny? Episode 5 is by far the most confusing chapter of Legion, but for all the right reasons. Even though this episode is difficult to follow, there are many revelations that came out of it. BUT as always with an episode of Legion, there are still so many questions and of course what’s an episode of Legion without a massive cliffhanger?
