This Batwoman article contains MAJOR spoilers for what’s aired so far, including the Batwoman pilot. Batwoman is a notable addition to The CW’s superhero lineup for several reasons.

Long live the Ryanverse! John Krasinski and his version of Jack Ryan will get a third tour of duty on Amazon, which gave an advance order for Jack Ryan Season 3 back in February. Paul Scheuring, best known as the creator of Fox’s Prison Break, will step in as the new showrunner for Jack Ryan, starting with the

Through two seasons, The Orville is the little Star Trek homage that could. Like its (unofficial) Trek forefathers, The Orville has built up a small but formidable fanbase. Fox has rewarded that fanbase by ordering The Orville Season 3…but it won’t air on Fox. Orville creator Seth MacFarlane announced during San Diego Comic-Con 2019 that the

Stranger Things season 4 is happening! Netflix renewed the series just three months after the premiere of the third season. This isn’t a surprise. Not only does Netflix obviously want to keep the Stranger Things franchise going, but so do The Duffer Brothers and all the other folks who actually make Stranger Things. Otherwise, why keep the

This Castle Rock review contains spoilers. Castle Rock Season 2 Episode 5 A year ago, I would have cringed at the thought of an Annie Wilkes origin story. Surely, a character as iconic as Stephen King‘s psychotic fiction fan needs no prologue in 2019. A ham-handed “Misery: The Beginning” Hollywood movie would almost certainly defile

This The Purge review contains spoilers. The Purge Season 2 Episode 4 The Purge does one thing better than anything else on television right now. The cold opening is an art, not a science, and the show puts a lot of focus and attention on getting those cold openings just right. They say so much about the show, and

You know what the world could use more of? Stylish thrillers set in an unclear timeframe that deal extensively with ’50s style hot rod racing gangs. Thankfully, Hulu agreed and ordered the upcoming Abigail Spencer-starring drama Reprisal to series. Reprisal is a femme fatale thriller series written by Josh Corbin and directed by Jonathan Van

This His Dark Materials review contains spoilers. It originally ran on Den of Geek UK. Our spoiler-free review is here.

The Charmed reboot is back for Season 2, this time with a new showrunner. THR reports that the current showrunner has left the series, which has provided very decent ratings for the network at home and strong international sales so far abroad. Carter Covington is being replaced by Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro on Charmed Season 2, and a

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 31 Episode 5 The Simpsons, season 31, episode 5, “Gorillas on the Mast,” pits the joys of altruism against the pleasures of self-interest and, oddly for the series, beneficence wins. The sad news is it is at the cost of the humor. Latter day Simpsons episodes are increasingly

When we decided to take on Watchmen for the Sci Fi Fidelity podcast, we had no idea how different the series would be from its graphic novel source material. The show has proven to be exactly the “remix” that showrunner Damon Lindelof said it would be, but a central question of our podcast discussion is

Exploring a noted author’s entire back catalogue within the frame of a single TV series worked for Hulu’s Castle Rock, so maybe it’ll work for new NBC series, Wellsville? H.G. Wells’ books are on the serving block for the new show, which will follow Ellie, “a young scientist lured to a secluded island under the

Obviously, this article contains majors spoilers for Jack Ryan season 2. The second season of Amazon’s Jack Ryan series with John Krasinski, which dropped a day early on Halloween, manages to address many of the viable complaints that critics levied at its first season — while also injecting more emotional developments into an otherwise straight and narrow storyline. Krasinski’s take on Tom Clancy’s

This Van Helsing review contains spoilers. Van Helsing Season 4 Episode 6 Whether Phil Fleischman’s family finds the peace it’s looking for on the other side of the river doesn’t really matter at this point because the episode’s final shot of mother, father, and child walking toward what they hope will be an opportunity to

Season eight is far from the best season of Game of Thrones. Around six months on from the broadcast of the HBO series’ final run, the Game of Thrones ending has already been summarily put down with Lost (also undeserving) and Dexter (yeah, that’s about right) in the annals of bad TV endings. Right in the center of

Of the many things that make Daybreak on Netflix unique, the differing points of view and styles of narration in each episode are definitely the most distinctive aspects. In a continuation of that concept, Netflix has decided to launch an audio drama centering on podcasters sharing their experience in the apocalypse inhabited solely by teenagers

Nancy Drew has premiered on The CW! The latest TV series version, which stars newcomer Kennedy McMann, is the culmination of years of attempts to revive the venerable literary franchise focused on the eponymous young female detective, which launched back in 1930.

This South Park review contains spoilers.  South Park Season 23 Episode 5 What’s fun about South Park Halloween episodes is how (not unlike The Simpsons before them), they take Halloween pretty seriously. And by that I mean they usually let the social commentary fall by the wayside and go all-in on the spooky tropes and gore.

With South Park debuting a new Halloween episode this week, there’s no better time to revisit the show’s take on the haunted holiday. When you turn on South Park, you know something silly and shocking and unnecessarily gory is coming your way. That’s because most days in the tiny, ignorant mountain town of South Park, Colorado,

This Arrow review contains spoilers.  Arrow Season 8 Episode 2 First, let me just say YES I saw the same wild ending you did. I am shook. I’m getting to it! But there’s a whole episode of Arrow to get to that would have already been pretty great even if things didn’t take a hard left turn

For the first time in over 25 years, we’re going to get an actual Superman TV series.

A Star Wars live-action TV series is coming to Disney’s upcoming streaming service and it’s called The Mandalorian.

This Mr. Robot review contains spoilers. Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 4 Happy holidays from Mr. Robot, which seems as unconcerned as ever with actually wrapping up any aspect of its final season’s story. In place of the answers—or at the very least, minimal forward plot progression—we likely expected here, “Not Found” instead offers us a

Impulse snuck up on us as science fiction fans running a podcast. Having aired on YouTube’s premium service, it wasn’t until the entire first season of this series was made available for free that it drew our attention, especially since the fact that it was loosely based on the Stephen Gould Jumper novels wasn’t necessarily

When See arrives on November 1, 2019 as one of Apple’s first offerings on its new streaming service, fans may expect star Jason Momoa to deliver the same type of strong and swarthy performance he’s known for from his roles in Game of Thrones and Aquaman, but they will be pleased to find that the

This Power Rangers Beast Morphers review contains spoilers. Power Rangers Beast Morphers Episode 15 After watching Power Rangers for over twenty-five years, the series can rarely surprise you.

This Van Helsing review contains spoilers. Van Helsing Season 4 Episode 5 “I don’t kill hope before it’s dead.” There have been numerous twists and turns in the Van Helsing, post-Rising apocalyptic saga, and while some clearly foreshadow later events, others appear quite unexpectedly. “Liberty or Death” takes us deep into Blak Tek’s sordid past

“Nothing seems to bother my kids but tonight’s show, which I totally wash my hands of, is really scary.” For anyone who grew up watching The Simpsons, the Treehouse Of Horror Halloween specials are an annual horror staple, from spooky couch gag to horror-themed credits.
