The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Baby steps, but way better than prior (misguided) steps. #cursoryfilmreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQ78zTiDXpe/

The Thursday Murder Club: Definitively pales in comparison to the book(s). #cursoryfilmreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQztKa7D_Hw/

Cunk on Life: Had its moments? Wasn’t the revelation that Cunk on Earth was. #cursorytvreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQxCHjfDz8J/

Claire Keegan - So Late in the Day: Devastating. I keep thinking about all three last paragraphs. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQvKEhqDb05/

Elise Bryant - It’s Elementary: Someone needs to take Remedial Murder Mystery Writing. Every reveal was blatantly telegraphed. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQo-2AFDUcf/

Only Murders in the Building: Season 5: Rather boring, in fact. All the usual playful elements are there, but nothing more. #cursorytvreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQmaE_BDfBI/

Tracey Lange - We Are the Brennans: Sunday’s story is too far-fetched and the ending is ridiculous. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQkPZKqj3O0/

Alexander McCall Smith - Precious and Grace: All the usual aphorisms hit just right this time. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQhaGUTjfGx/

¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! : One of the better docs I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to visit in a few weeks! #cursoryfilmreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DQH3BiCD5O8/

Sarah Adams - When in Rome: Although this is Swift fanfic, it works admirably well. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DP9WAv-De3t/

Deborah Harkness - The Black Bird Oracle: It seems I’m with all the other original fans of this series - not reading anything after whatever this was. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DPwaIcOjciI/

Megan Bannen - The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy: A lark. A really obvious one, but as fun as a lark should be. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DOtC7gDjX3g/

Layne Fargo - The Favorites: A very, very poor man’s “Carrie Soto Is Back”. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DOdjxmEDYiR/

Limitless: Season 2: As a singer, I fully felt the terror of the first episode. #cursorytvreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DObH5E9jeDN/

Sally: Not the greatest documentary, but ultimately still heartbreaking. #cursoryfilmreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DOWjfllD9X-/

Kerry Greenwood - Murder and Mendelssohn: An obvious reveal, but it’s clear Greenwood sings in a choir - she has tons of little details spot on. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DOTuFORDQqs/

Emily Henry - Great Big Beautiful Life: I wasn’t as bothered by the “celebrity” story as others, but still meh on the concept overall. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DOGhkCQjSR0/

Justin Willman: Magic Lover: I am still trying to figure how he did the main trick, which is exactly what he wants. #cursorytvreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DOEevNXjgG5/

Alison Espach - The Wedding People: That’s how you turn a dissertation into a (enjoyable and entertaining) novel. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DN_f3asDh5e/

The Sandman: Season 2: 🎶Mr. Sandman, bring me a … more entertaining final season🎵 #cursorytvreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DNYtRGcvohY/

Elinor Lipman - Every Tom, Dick & Harry: Surprising number of twists and turns, but with the usual satisfying resolution. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DNV-1sMvuzy/

The Bear: Season 4: I know reviews have been mixed, but this season was a breath of fresh air - actual personal growth. #cursorytvreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DNS9ESMupI4/

For Love of the Game: Better than expected, but would have been better if all about baseball. #cursoryfilmreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DNHEp0jPksP/

Janice Hallett - The Appeal: I’ll agree it’s addictive reading, but with some major holes, such as the existence of email threads with no replies?! #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DNEvs1qPT2n/

Sophie Cousens - Is She Really Going Out With Him?: Preferred The Good Part but I see I gave it the same rating! Perhaps she’s not the author for me. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DMqtupbPk_v/

KPop Demon Hunters: Not my typical movie to queue, but it was fun! For the yout’ so the ending is rather obvious. #cursoryfilmreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DMlrlMPvD8u/

Min Jin Lee - Pachinko: I don’t know which is better, the book or the TV series. A sentence I never thought I’d write. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DMiUEZwMojH/

Superman: Chock full of animals! In keeping with the theme of compassion for those who need help. #cursoryfilmreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DMc2X1Huqq5/

Linda Holmes - Back After This: Too too too obvious reveal. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DL0IQ5YvOgM/

Clare Pooley - How to Age Disgracefully: Perhaps it’s 3rd novel syndrome; felt like she was plugging characters into a template. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews www.instagram.com/p/DLxYXD5OdMm/
