“The Sandlot” allows us to look at simpler times, summer 1962, with a young boy, Scotty Smalls, who moves into a new neighborhood. He is ready to start making some buddies by learning baseball. With his inexperience, though, he feels out of place among the so-called ‘older kids’ of the neighborhood who play ball at…
“The Bear” is not just another show, but a raw and real itinerary through life’s toughest moments, wrapped in the hustle and heart of a family-run sandwich shop in Chicago. At the center is Carmy Berzatto, a chef returning from high-end kitchens to save his family’s struggling eatery in Chicagoland following his brother’s death. It’s…
As a lifelong fan of Star Wars who cherishes the spiritual dimensions of storytelling, “The Acolyte” resonates with me in profound ways. This new series, set in the expansive Star Wars universe but taking us back a hundred years before the Skywalker saga, dares to delve into uncharted territories both narratively and thematically. Duality and…
Presumed Innocent is no legal drama for Apple TV+. It’s really a show that explores moral dilemmas and personalized struggles not necessarily sitting based in a court of law.

“Dexter” isn’t your typical crime drama—it plunges headfirst into the murky waters of morality and the human psyche. At its heart is Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter analyst by day and a vigilante serial killer by night. What sets him apart (besides his charming demeanor) is his code, a set of rules passed down by…
“Dark Matter” is deep; ‘what-ifs’ and alternate realities set the foundation for a story provoking thought within each one of us regarding roads not taken and precisely how our choices set out the form of our existence. From the vantage point of a viewer from the Christian faith, it becomes most engaging to walk through…

It is not about what is wrong or right, but when morality comes in the way of personal desperation, the tangled web of consequences. Bryan Cranston turns in a riveting performance as Judge Michael Desiato, who is torn by the…
Remember when scrunchies, dial-up internet, and boy bands ruled the day? “That ’90s Show” takes it back to when flannel shirts were the cool thing and VHS tapes ruled supreme. It is a shot of nostalgia right to the heart for those of our generation growing up in the ’90s or, well, wondering what it…
