Patreon review index

This index links to all the rewatch/reviews on my Patreon page, ordered roughly chronologically by when I began each review series. Reviews require a $5/month subscription, unless marked “free.” Patreon supporters help provide me with a small but steady income, which is valuable to me given the irregular nature of my writing work.
