Abominable and the Invisible City – The Ditch Sitch

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Abominable and the Invisible City – The Ditch Sitch
  • IMDb: link

“The Ditch Sitch” suffers from one of oldest cliches of children’s television with adults being dumb and/or unreasonable in order for the plot to play out. In this case the adult is a building developer () irate of a creature continuously stopping her construction of her latest project that goes to extremes to see it destroyed. The episode does feature an interesting creature in the magical jellyfish along with a nice message with Yi (Chloe Bennet), Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor), and Peng‘s (Ethan Loh) teaching her a lesson about living with the magical creatures, although it’s possible you might get whiplash from how quickly that lesson is taken to heart.

Good Omens – The Arrival

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Good Omens – The Arrival
  • IMDb: link

Time has past since the end of the First Season of Good Omens and while Crowley (David Tennant) and Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) have both remained on Earth, they have decided to go their separate ways. However, the arrival of an amnesiac Gabriel (Jon Hamm) who disappears from Heaven and shows up wandering naked through the city and into the angel’s book shop will reunite the unlikely pair once more. With the First Season relying on the source material for its storyline, this new season feels very much like the writers feeling their way with yet-unnamed new trouble related to Gabriel’s amnesia, his reason for showing up on Earth, and what he may have been carrying in the empty box.
