Suffering from memory issues and panic attacks after an accident, former actress Chloe Temple (Alexys Gabrielle) enrolls herself in a tech company’s test program agreeing to say in an AI house created to assist her rehabilitation and recovery.

Batman #142

For what is supposedly the start of a new arc, I found Batman #142 messy and confusing. Falling back onto DC’s most overused theme, the comic offers us “Year One” of the Joker. Beginning after his swan dive into the chemical vat, the comic picks up with three members of the Red Hood Gang (rather than just one) being exposed to the chemicals. While “Red Hood One” begins his story after being transformed, the other two are similarly changed.

Hazbin Hotel - Overture

What started out as an independent webcomic has now become a full-blown Amazon series. I had a very mixed reaction to the opening episode of the series that centers around Lucifer’s daughter Charlie (Erika Henningsen) and her plan to create a hotel within Hell to redeem sinners allowing them to eventually reach Heaven. I enjoy Charlie, and the look of the episode. The musical numbers were a bit more hit-and-miss for me (although the idea of singing about how glorious Hell is from a certain point of view is humorous).

Role Play

Role Play is a mediocre romcom mashed-up with a so-so thriller for forgettable results. Kaley Cuoco stars as international assassin who has managed to keep her job a secret from her husband (David Oyelowo) for the better part of a decade until, in an attempt to spice up their marriage, the pair do some role playing in an upscale hotel bar which sets a series of dominoes in play that expose our assassin’s line of work and the organization whose head (Connie Nielsen) is hunting her.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - I Plunge to My Death

My mixed reaction to Percy Jackson and the Olympians continues with “I Plunge to My Death,” an episode that feels largely disjointed and half-assed as if several scenes have been randomly cut out to decrease the running time and get it to fit in at just over a half-hour. After buses turned out to be a no go,  Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth (Leah Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) have decided to take a train west. How exactly they paid for said train tickets, including their own compartment, is one of the many, many questions left unanswered.
