lawrence dane review masterpost

(last updated 12/31/2024 - posted review for the littlest hobo episode)


this is where i keep track of what i've watched or want to watch for lawrence dane. an introduction to him can be found here.

a strikethrough means i've watched it but have not yet written about it.
italics means i have access to it (technically, anyway - one asterisk denotes autocaptions only, two no captions at all) but have not yet watched it.
no formatting means i'm still working on locating it.
᛭ means i know his character dies in it.

...and of course a link means i've reviewed it!

the list is organized by chronological filmography, but i haven't been writing reviews in that order. still refining my technique.... all ratings are based on the question of "is it worth watching just for lawrence dane". as you may have guessed, these are not professional reviews, lol.
