The Box Set: "Station Eleven."
Well, I was definitely wrong thinking one of these was the episode I didn’t like. That’s what happens with a fuzzy brain. Instead, these were another two strong episodes and, I would argue, “Goodbye My Damaged Home” is among the best overall. I detailed most of my thoughts about these episodes,...

The Box Set: "Collateral."
We did it! We got through one! Wooot. Of course, all we did was watch TV and talk about it, but if the pandemic has taught us anything, the little pleasures in life are important. So, we did good. The question is, did “Collateral” do good — that is, did it meet your needs and expectations (which,...

The Box Set: "Station Eleven."
There is no before. We aren’t doing solo episodes anymore on the Box Set. We did, but there is no before. So we’re not. There’s only the now. The first rule of The Box Set TV Club is to not…mention old rules. OK, you get it. I think we switched to the two-episode format at just the right time…

The Box Set: "Collateral."
Quick note to Box Set viewers: While it won’t concern those who are only currently watching (and commenting on) “Collateral,” because there’s only one episode left, I wanted to point out to those who may not be following “Station Eleven” where the longer announcement was made, that in the future...

The Box Set: "Collateral."
I will tell you a very short story about rewatching the second episode (of four total) of “Collateral.” First, I caught myself being more critical than maybe I wanted to be while also trying to keep in mind something very important — if you go in for these quick hit series (and four episodes is...

The Box Set: "Station Eleven."
“To the monsters, we’re the monsters,” says a creepy stranger to Kirsten, adding, “…I guess” in a failed attempt to make himself less creepy. Then again, she knows, and he wanted her to know. Something is not right. Something unknown is known. This intrusion of potential danger is, of course, set...

Resounding: "Tim." Yeah, "Tim."
Note: If you read my Welcome post, you know that I was once a music critic and was recently writing a book of essays on music until, you know, life interfered and I focused instead on fiction. As I said in that post, I would be bringing over some of those essays (some of them updated, and newer...

The Box Set: "Collateral."
Note: I’m sending out two separate emails (and thus threads) for The Box Set television club today. If you’re seeing this email in the evening, you should have received a previous one, “Station Eleven,” in the morning. Greeting to all The Box Set television club members who already got their feet...

If you’re seeing this email in the morning, you’ll get an additional one with a separate show later today. Hola, The Box Set television club members (yeah, I know, nobody got sent official cards or...
