'Greenleaf' Is Almost Over
Season 5 of Greenleaf is the last season for the popular television drama series, created by Craig Wright and executive produced by Oprah Winfrey that airs on OWN. Most fans knew it would be the last season, but they didn't know the season would be so short. The other four seasons had from 10 to 16 episodes, but Season 5 has only 8 episodes with the last one airing on Tuesday, August 11, 2020. When Season 5 ends, there would have been a total of 60 episodes.

'Fuller House' - An Old Fan's Take
I talked about the prevalence of nostalgic reboot TV shows a while back when I talked about Cobra Kai. In that article, I brought up Fuller House, the sequel series to Full House, one of the most loved and ridiculed sitcoms of all time. At the time, it felt like a gender-flipped rehash of its parent series. Those remarks were made when the show had only one season eating up space on people's Netflix queues. Now that the show had come to an end after five seasons (three seasons less that the original show, by the way), it's time that I give my thoughts on how Fuller House turned out.

Tom and Jerry
Our childhood experiences seem to get more utopian as we grow up. A time of little struggle and where our own way seemed to be much easier. One big part of my childhood fun is watching the show Tom and Jerry. The over-the-top antics and personalities of the characters is the beauty of the show. More than just crude humour, the personification of a cat and mouse living both in ultimate rivalry and yet, at times, the best of friends. Timeless stories, the show was made in batches as creators saw opportunities to continue this rolling mammoth of the cartoon world. In the 20th Century, Tom and Jerry was the highest grossing in its category, and for many others and myself it holds a nostalgic tune in our memories.

An Emphatic no to 'Mr Love: Queen's Choice'
EVOLxLOVE, or Mr. Love: Queen's Choice, is an anime that I needed no encouragement in dropping after a single episode. During the runtime of the episode, whether it was produced by MAPPA or not, it was becoming more and more obvious that it was simply not for me. Which is surprising when the individual elements are all things that I would ordinarily be drawn to. A television executive that is trying her best to make sure that her company stays afloat, combined with a world where there are people with superpowers living in secret. This is the kind of show that I would ordinarily watch, because it speaks to my love of superhuman tropes, and my education in media.

Anime to Watch: JJBA: ‘Phantom Blood’
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is insane. The characters, the stories, and most importantly, the hairstyles. I’ve never watched such a fun, engrossing anime, and naturally it’s my favorite of all time. A great thing about JoJo is that each season has a different protagonist and story. As time goes on, the descendants of the titular Joestar family fight all sorts of villains and get into, dare I say, bizarre adventures. Basically, everything you need to know is in the title. The first season is a little different in that it encompasses both the first and second arcs of the Joestar story. The first part, Phantom Blood, is only nine episodes long, but I wanted to separate it from the second part, Battle Tendency. They’re both so different and amazing for different reasons, so it’s only right to give them each their own time to shine. We’ll call this one the first in my Jojo review series, since I’ll do a review for each part.

Flashpoint Paradox: Professor Zoom Needs a History Lesson
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is a DC fan favorite. It catapults the DC Animated Movie Universe, is a phenomenal adaption of the Geoff Johns' comic, and introduces the non-comic book reading audience to Flashpoint Batman! We also get a brief, but mesmerizing glimpse into the sheer evil of Professor Zoom. A true sociopath! However, it is near the end of the film, with what he says that is a bit troubling. We finally learn what created this alternate Earth, and he challenges Barry Allen's selfish action. Many may think Professor Zoom has a point. But really...does he?

Wonderstorm Animated Series 'The Dragon Prince' Renewed for Four More Seasons
Fans of the Wonderstorm-produced The Dragon Prince, an animated fantasy series, have gotten their wish and more. The series made its debut on Netflix in September 2018 and has gained a loyal following, with some perceiving it as a spiritual successor to the beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender. Even setting aside the fact that it was co-created by Avatar: The Last Airbender head writer and executive producer Aaron Ehasz, as well as the fact that Sokka voice actor Jack DeSena voices Callum here, The Dragon Prince has a similar type of humor that complements the fleshed-out world that it inhabits.
