The DC Universe has not done itself any favors over the five feature-length films introduced since The Dark Knight trilogy. This brand has deservedly earned the reputation as less than quality productions and as the second best superhero series to its cousin, Marvel. Many of these issues lie within the dark influence and style of […]
This season of Supergirl hasn’t been successful when focusing on present events, so why not experience a blast from the past? At least that’s the theory at work in the flashback episode “Midvale,” named after the town where Kara and Alex grew up. The Danvers sisters revisit the old burg so that Alex can lick […]
For an episode that follows up the cliffhanger from the end of the excellent fifth season, “Fallout” struggled to explain why leaving its audience on edge was the right choice to make. Arrow is now in its sixth season and the need for a major shake up is an all time high. Now would have […]
About halfway through “Spoils of War,” I found myself thinking, “Man, I’m really loving this episode. This is might be my favorite episode this season.” Great character moments, an wondrous Stark reunion, and that awesome sparring match between Brienne and Arya would have made this a great Game of Thrones episode.

From our first look at Prometheus in the Season 5 premiere to the explosive finale on the island, Arrow has regained its footing and once again reigns supreme in the Arrowverse. Every aspect of the show has returned to form. The story beats, the characters, the emotion, the fight choreography, it was all there, and […]
You can check out our first take review of Wonder Woman here, which deals with some of the issues regarding pacing in this action packed epic.

The CW released trailers for many of its upcoming shows at their recent upfronts presentation, including the much-anticipated Black Lightning. Black Lightning tells the story of Jefferson Pearce who used to be a vigilante, but retired and became a school principal. 10 years after leaving his Black Lightning persona behind, he is drawn back to […]
After last week’s excellent episode left viewers with a chilling cliffhanger, the tenth season of Doctor Who delivers another knockout punch with “Extremis.” It would be very difficult to discuss “Extremis” without addressing major spoilers about it and the events of the previous episode, so consider yourselves warned. Spoilers abound from this point onward. An […]
