    Amazon debut pilots of shows, and give full seasons to the ones that members give positive feedback on. I decided to watch and review Amazon’s new pilot episodes myself.

  • Uptown Oracle Watches… A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning

    After binge watching A Series of Unfortunate Events I had many thoughts about the series. It’s one of the best adaptions I’ve seen sticking to its book counterpart for the majority. There’s some new things added in and surprises as well which makes it so much better to watch. I’m going to split up my…
