Here's my reaction and review of "The Institute" Episodes 1 and 2 on MGM+. I’ll breakdown the creepy details and let you know if this show, adapted from the Stephen King novel, is worth your time. From #MGMPlus: "The Institute" follows the story of teen genius Luke Ellis (Freeman), who is kidnapped and awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did and who are all possessed of unusual abilities. In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson (Barnes) has come looking to start a new life, but the peace and quiet won’t last, as his story and Luke’s are destined to collide.Executive Produced By: Stephen King, Jack Bender, Benjamin Cavell, Gary Barber, Sam Sheridan, Ed RedlichDirected By:Jack BenderCast: Mary-Louise Parker, Ben Barnes, Joe Freeman, Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Hannah Galway, Julian Richings, Robert Joy, Martin Roach

I drop three videos a week on "The Buccaneers" Season 2! Don't miss my next episode preview and theory/discussion videos!

From ⁠‪Apple TV+‬: In the first season of “The Buccaneers," a group of fun-loving young American girls exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s…setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders - England is their home. In fact they’re practically running the place. Nan is the Duchess of Tintagel, the most influential woman in the country. Conchita is Lady Brightlingsea, heroine to a wave of young American heiresses. And Jinny is on every front-page, wanted for the kidnap of her unborn child. All of the girls have been forced to grow up and now have to fight to be heard, as they wrestle with romance, lust, jealousy, births and deaths... themes consuming all women of any age, no matter what year it is. Last time we got a taste of England. This time we’re in for a veritable feast.
