I was really interested in seeing what Supergirl would bring to the table this week. If I’m being honest, the only thing that resonated with me from the premiere was Melissa Benoist’s Kara Zor-El, and I wanted the series to demonstrate the reasons why I should continue watching (without the excuse of being a pilot […]
A little background for those who might have stumbled on this review and aren’t familiar with SundanceTV’s exceptional French series The Returned. This isn’t the ABC show from a year ago (that would be Resurrection, and it has nothing to do with this one), and it isn’t the misguided American remake of the series that […]
I’m going to be upfront and say that “Here’s Not Here” is a hard episode of The Walking Dead to review. On one hand, it’s an absolutely spectacular character piece with amazing performances from two of the finest character actors working in the business today. On the other, it’s a giant roadblock in the season […]
The star of this episode was, without question, the set design. From the Medici’s council room in Florence to the bath house in Rome to the church in Otranto, every set this episode was a gorgeous work of art. For Da Vinci’s Demons, a series about the “untold story” of one of history’s most brilliant […]
There was an awful lot to like in “Beyond Redemption,” allowing Arrow to really bounce back from last week’s poorly plotted mess. There was a strong (albeit, too easily defeated) villain of the week, team Arrow was able to work seamlessly together after a few weeks of rough starts, there was a really awesome new […]
There were a lot of things “The Fury of Firestorm” had to do to renew my faith in The Flash. It’s not like my confidence in the series was completely gone, but the first three episodes we had this season seemed to experience the same growing pains as the first few instalments in Season 1 […]
Last night was the Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode that we’ve all been waiting for: we finally got to see where Simmons was after she got sucked into the monolith. I was pleasantly surprised that the whole episode was dedicated to Simmons and her adventure. This is the first episode that has strayed from the […]
Kara Zor-El is all too often overshadowed by her Kryptonian cousin, but last night’s premiere of Supergirl hoped to prove why she’s deserving of the spotlight. Luckily, though the pilot has problems typical of the superhero genre, Melissa Benoist makes an otherwise average episode something truly special. Easily the best part of the premiere is […]
Obviously, the major lingering question from the strong “Thank You” is whether or not Glenn is actually dead and gone (or, dead and walking). And that is certainly an important discussion that needs to be had. But, I worry that all of the fuss surrounding how Scott Gimple and the gang at The Walking Dead […]
This is the third and final season of the Starz Emmy-winning historical fantasy series Da Vinci’s Demons. It’s disappointing to see a show with such striking visuals, music, and performances get cancelled after only three seasons. But in a recent interview with Variety, show creator David S. Goyer and star Tom Riley seem glad that […]
