Scooby-Doo! - That's Snow Ghost television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. A trip to the nearly abandoned Wolf’s End Lodge ski resort almost immediately becomes a case for Mystery, Inc. when they discover the existence of a Snow Ghost haunting the area. The Tibetan hermit Fu Lan Chi tells the gang the history of the creature. It’s an odd sequence, both because the find the man living in a cave in the wilderness and because at the end of the episode he isn’t involved at all in the current hauntings making him a rare red herring for the series.

Charlie's Angels - Angels in Paradise television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. The show’s Second Season premiere offers a series of firsts for the show. First, “Angels in Paradise” marks the first two-part episode of the series (soon to be followed by the second). And second, the episode offers the first major change to the core cast as the exiting Farrah Fawcett is replaced by Jill‘s younger sister Kris (Cheryl Ladd). And third, the Angels venture far outside their comfort zone (both literally and figuratively) when they head to Hawaii after Charlie is kidnapped by a gangster (France Nuyen) wanting to exchange the Angels’ boss for her husband (Tommy Fujiwara) who she needs the Angels to break out of prison.

Locke & Key - Crown of Shadows television review

I hadn’t read the comic series Locke & Key was based on, and had no real epectations about the series going in. What I found was one of the most solid seasons of any Netflix original show and a welcome surprise that turned out to be far smarter than I would have guessed. The final episode of Locke & Key‘s First Season offers a glimpse behind the mysterious Black Door as Tyler (Connor Jessup), Kinsey (Emilia Jones), and their friends fight to defeat Dodge (Laysla De Oliveira) who has the Crown of Shadows. The episode makes good use of misdirection here before providing even more surprises in its final moments as that attempt to throw Dodge into the portal has unintended consequences none of the Lockes will become aware of until Season Two.
