The Imagination Realm

The Beginning, per Maria, it's a very good place to start! See what I did there? No? Here’s my 1st suggestion: Watch The Sound of Music! Similarly to Tyrion, I Drink and I Watch Things! I define life in terms of Movies and TV shows... there is always a perfectly good Grease of other TV/Movie reference waiting to be used. What will you see here: my drawings, snippets of things I write and rants about Movies & TV shows. What you will not see here: ADULTING!

TIRRecommends: Kaos on Netflix: Watch or Skip?

Kaos has finally premiered on Netflix with an eight-episode season 1.  Kaos first caught our attention in 2020, making it a long-awaited premiere.  Was it worth the wait?

Kaos has finally premiered on Netflix with an eight-episode season 1.  Kaos first caught our attention in 2020, making it a long-awaited premiere.  Was it worth the wait? While I’ve watched the series in its entirety, this review is only the first in a nine-part review of the eight-episode series.  There are so many rabbit holes to go down, it is based on Greek Mythology after all. This review…

Yellowjackets Season 2 Ep1 1 - Quick Reaction

Episode 1 is off to a batshit start and I’m ready for the next episode. There doesn’t ever seem to be one main character that isn’t just completely insane. The older versions of the team continue to reveal just how poorly they adjusted to the events of the plane crash aftermath. As equally disturbed they all are Shauna’s calm present day persona in the midst of a murder cover-up just really…

YOU: Since season 1, harsh reality.

I really enjoyed season 1 of Netflix’s You. It was a unique and exciting show at the time. When season 2 began it felt redundant after a few episodes. Some of the zest was gone so I abandoned it after 2 or 3 episodes. This year I decided to revisit some shows I’ve abandoned and You was on that list. I binged watched season 2 and 3 before catching up to season 4 part 1. I’m afraid the reason I…

Unpopular Opinion: Vikings Valhalla Season 2 was meh!

Unpopular Opinion: Vikings Valhalla Season 2 was meh! It seemed incomplete. #valhallaseason2 #vikingsvalhalla #valhalla #netflixvalhalla

Season 1 of Vikings Valhalla was exciting, likely because Vikings was finished and it was a way to fill that void.  I remember feeling like I needed to see season 2 right now.  Well, just finished season 2 and my enthusiasm has waned.  I still enjoyed season 2 but significantly less than season 1.  Season 2 seemed incomplete.  It was a road trip essentially, but the overall goal and plot seemed…

Welcome 2023! I am excited for the new year of television. Before we get involved in the new year of television, here are my favorites from last year. 10.

FX on Hulu has adapted the Sci-Fi best-seller novel by Octavia E. Butler, Kindred. While I have not read the book, I just binged watched the Hulu FX series and it was fantastic.
