Gangs Of London’s first proper fight does a bang-up job of setting out the show’s stall: this isn’t just any old British crime thriller – this is a British crime thriller from the minds that brought us cult beat-em-up The Raid and its even more action-packed sequel. And so, around halfway into the Evans-directed pilot,

Ben continues to experiment on himself with aquatic stem cells. He’s noticing dramatic changes in his physiology, including sharpened senses, accelerated healing, increased endurance, and the ability to hold his breath underwater for extended periods of time. He began the experiment to help his mom, who was making progress on the same treatment before her

This BROOKLYN NINE-NINE review contains spoilers. Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7 Episode 13 Brooklyn Nine-Nine has a tendency to fall into routines. Granted, a lot of the returning plots and episode structures work spectacularly well. Sitcoms are supposed to be comfortable; if you wanted to watch something strenuous, that’s what prestige dramas are for. Even though

“Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian is an opportunity for fans of the show to take a look inside and get to see a different perspective, and perhaps a greater understanding, of how The Mandalorian came together and some of the incredibly talented contributors throughout Season One,” adding, “We had a great experience making the show and

Set in what Evans calls a “Gothamized” London, it’s a heightened world that’s both familiar and strange whether you know the city or not. Evans opted to remove the major landmarks from the skyline, yet the feeling of the different boroughs the show traverses are distinct and recognisable. The capital is the perfect setting for

[embedded content] Now that we’re just over a month away from HBO Max soothing away some of our quarantine pains, a new trailer for Looney Tunes Cartoons has been released. It’s very, very promising. [embedded content] So we have Bugs screwing with Yosemite Sam, Daffy pissing off Porky Pig, Tweety Bird getting the better of

Dawson later set the record straight with Variety, who originally broke the story, explaining that, “That’s not confirmed yet but when that happens, I will be very happy. I’m very excited for that to be confirmed at some point.” When Disney does confirm the casting news, Dawson will be the latest star to join an

It’s definitely time for Isobel to explore this side of herself, and I hope that one day she and the other queer characters will actually have more conversations about this, considering the tendency of LGBTQ folks to find one another and cluster, in small towns and big cities alike. What will Rosa’s journey look like,

It appears that the fall release date of The Many Saints of Newark, HBO’s long-anticipated prequel TV movie to its transformative peak television smash, The Sopranos, was born under a bad sign, taking shape during an era in which the film and television industry—and everything else in the civilized world—has been derailed by the COVID-19

Mission Impossible – May 22nd–25th The second May bank holiday weekend brings us the Mission: Impossible collection. John Woo, Brian De Palma, J.J. Abrams, Christopher McQuarrie and more have all helmed instalments to date, with varying degrees of success. Highlights: Mission: Impossible (1996), Mission: Impossible III, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Mission: Impossible – Fallout Fast

Tiago is the Johnny Angel-from-Angel Heart character in the show. He was touched by an angel when he was a kid and is investigating a cultic sacrifice in his first assignment at the homicide squad. He’d be ripe for the allure of radio evangelism if not for his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane), a veteran

We went into our viewing of Motherland: Fort Salem with some skepticism before choosing it as a topic for a Sci Fi Fidelity podcast episode, but the show exceeded our expectations. Far from having the cheesy humor, aggressive feminism, or underdeveloped mythology that the series easily could have fallen prey to, we found the story

They’re not as good as “Modern Warfare,” true. They’re less focused (the second episode drops the western motif in favor of a Star Wars kind of thing) and Joe Russo isn’t as dynamic an action director as Justin Lin, but it’s still a funny, rip-roarin’ good time, ending on a dark, dramatic cliffhanger I’ve always

This POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS review contains spoilers. First off let’s talk about the biggest thing this episode will be remembered for. Sadly not the unique Zord battle but the mere reference to the Pan Global Games. Originally created in MMPR, the Games were basically the Olympics and were used to write Kimberly out of the show.

Recall that a Lucifer season 6 has never even officially confirmed. Early reports suggested that a sixth season (the show’s second at Netflix) was all but a guarantee, with only some “i’s” to be dotted and some “t’s” to be crossed. Now those i’s and t’s have proven to be tougher to deal with than

“There’s a moment there’s all these little ducklings that are walking by and James Marsden is like, “Donald, Daisy, da, da…” I was like, ‘Oh, Jeff, I wonder if Dewey could be there. Just one quick Dewey for me.’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, I didn’t think about it, that would be great.’” Grab a FREE

Lemme: I think one of the fun things for us in making TV is that there is a new episode each week. Whether you’re writing or acting or directing,  it stays fresh that way. I think the nice thing about wearing all those hats is that we’re in charge. What we say goes. And it’s

The gangsters on HBO’s classic mob series The Sopranos never shied from their charitable duties. That’s what Mafiosi have done since the very beginning of their loose organization. Tony Soprano’s crew took care of the blessed statue for the Feast of Elzéar of Sabran. The family’s pork-store front had a Satriale’s Christmas party tradition going

How could the series possibly adapt a raucous, highly sexualized musical – one of the most acclaimed productions of our time – without bowdlerizing it? The answer: By not even attempting to adapt it. Well, not really. The mature subject matter of Hedwig is wisely transformed into a plot point here with Mr. Honey (Kerr

If you don’t yet have a subscription to the excellent horror streaming service Shudder, then you probably have not had a chance to see Creepshow, the original anthology series based on the classic 1982 movie written by Stephen King and the late George A. Romero. Well, while we nevertheless strongly recommend that you check out

Quiz loops all that subtext in to its high-tension caper with an impressively light touch. The Ingrams aren’t demonised for their privilege here, far from it, but their social status is never not there. It’s in Chris Tarrant’s repeated mockery of the Major’s army title, and in the general assumption among the studio crew that Charles

There’s a moment in the classic Red Dwarf episode ‘Better Than Life’ where the plot finds the boys from the Dwarf living out their ultimate fantasies in a prophetic and immersive video game. For The Cat, who longs to romance the ladies and doesn’t get really much of a chance to do so in deep

In the trial scenes, what seems to animate the prosecution more than any specific legal transgression is the injury committed to good sportsmanship. Whatever the judicial truth of the matter, the sly suggestion here is that Major Charles and Diana Ingram were really put on trial for betrayal of the so-called English character. The case

For the bulk of Season 1, Villanelle goes around killing a bunch of people, including Eve’s boring, sexist former boss Frank, who turns out to be a double agent who was also working for The Twelve, the shadowy secret organization that employs Villanelle. We also meet Konstantin, the Russian teddy bear of a man who

The world’s latest obsession is Netflix documentary series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, the story of private zoo owner Joe Exotic and his long running feud with Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin which ends in a murder-for-hire plot and a 22 year prison sentence for Joe. It’s genuinely one of the strangest, most

Julian’s disdain for magic, while falling in love with a magical person, should make for compelling drama. The problem is, his relationship with Macy doesn’t feel solid enough to hinge an emotional arc on. Their romantic connection feels mostly one-sided, even before she commits to ending it. Their feelings for one another are supposed to

Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 7 tells the stories that showrunner Dave Filoni never got to tell during the show’s original run, which came to an end in 2014. The new and final season consists of 12 episodes, covering arcs previously alluded to in Star Wars lore but never released in final form on

The Mandalorian may currently stand alone in the arena of live-action small screen Star Wars shows, but it will be joined soon enough by the developing Disney+ Star Wars Cassian Andor series. It’s an intriguing offering, since the show will see one of the franchise’s big-screen stars, Diego Luna, reprise his role from 2016’s Rogue

Every reveal in this episode felt flat and disconnected from the plot around it. After stalking Ahsoka for two episodes, the Mandalorians simply walk up and speak to her. Maul’s reappearance is the classic reveal of a character looking up from under a hood, an unexpectedly tensionless scene barely aided by some assertive music. Why
