Season 1 Review: It knows exactly what it is and makes no apologies for it. Although the series is starting to show its age, The 4th Awakens still delivers over-the-top summer nonsense. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What remains is the dullest and most loathsome kind of movie out there, the kind that uses its overtly sarcastic tone to shield from any criticism. Read full review
