The first two seasons of the spectacular British series Black Mirror consist of a grand total of seven episodes (including the Christmas Special starring Jon Hamm). The third season of the series clocks in at 6 episodes, nearly doubling the output of seasons one and two. And, while each episode is a standalone story, tackling […]
After the timeline-shattering shenanigans of the past two episodes, a return to (relative) normalcy was in order for The Flash. The primary antagonist for “Magenta” is a Goth girl who can manipulate metal—not exactly on the level of Reverse Flash or Zoom in terms of formidable adversaries. Instead, the focus of this episode is interpersonal […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was full of explosions in its latest episode titled “Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire.” Not only was the ghost threat further expanded on, but some unlikely characters joined together to figure it all out. This episode might have finally brought the whole team back together for the first time […]

Last week I raved about the fun and freewheeling tone of the Season 2 premiere of Supergirl, highlighted by a special guest appearance from the Man of Steel himself, Superman.

This is the moral, for lack of a better term, that lies at the center of “Paradox,” the second episode of The Flash’s third season. Audiences are so used to happy Hollywood time-travel stories, like Back to […]
ABC wasn’t lying when they said this season of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to be darker. In this week’s episode, “Uprising”, the S.H.I.E.L.D. team was literally battling darkness as blackouts disrupted major cities all over the world. The entire episode might have been spent in the dark, but some questions were answered about […]
The Season 2 premiere of Supergirl was billed as a team-up between Supergirl and her cousin Superman, and to be sure “The Adventures of Supergirl” does not skimp on the Man of Steel.

While the second episode of Westworld, entitled “Chestnut,” still left us with far more questions than answers, it was a step in the right direction, giving the spotlight to the very capable Thandie Newton and Jimmi Simpson.
