Cast: Jack Coleman, Zachary Levi, Ryan Guzman, Robbie Kay, Kiki Sukezane, Gatlin Green, Henry Zebrowski, Toru Uchikado, Judith Shekoni, Danika Yarosh Writers: Tim Kring, Greg Beeman Director: Matt Shakman Network: Airs on NBC, Thursdays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: Sept. 24, 2015 Here’s a quick recap of the first incarnation of HEROES. The first season started out really good with a solid message (“Save the cheerleader, save the world”), interesting characters, a slick comic book come to life appeal and plotlines that while at times bogged down, at least furthered the narrative. Season 1 shined when the show focused specifically […]Read On »

Cast: Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, David Mazouz, Morena Baccarin, Robin Lord Taylor, Sean Pertwee, Erin Richards, Camren Bicondova, Cory Michael Smith, James Frain, Jessica Lucas Writer: Bruno Heller Director: Danny Cannon Network: Airs on Fox Mondays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Sept. 21, 2015 One of the more interesting things about the Season 2 premiere of GOTHAM “Damned If You Do” is how they tried to get some of the mediocre (and that’s being generous) characters actually something to do. For starters, much beleaguered Barbara Kean (Erin Richards) finally (finally!) does something. After attacking Dr. Thompkins (Morena Baccarin) toward the end […]Read On »

Cast: Meagan Good, Stark Sands, Nick Zano, Laura Regan, Wilmer Valderrama Writer: Max Borenstein Director: Mark Mylod Network: Airs on Fox @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: Sept. 21, 2015 MINORITY REPORT is an interesting show at least from the “Pilot” episode. There is a lot going on here beyond just carrying over from where the movie left off. In the television show, the events of the movie are not necessarily taken as gospel but they have an influence on where this show begins. The precog program has been abolished after abuse of the system resulted in some problematic issues with […]Read On »

When ABC’s CASTLE ended its seventh season this spring, it looked as though the series might be wrapping up. After all, our hero Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) had not only married the love of his life, NYPD homicide detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), he’d also confronted and solved the haunting childhood memory that set him on the path to becoming a famous mystery writer in the first place. Beckett had aced her police captain’s exam and had been approached about running for political office. Castle’s daughter Alexis (Molly C. Quinn) was excelling in college, Beckett’s colleagues Esposito (Jon Huertas) and […]Read On »

Created by Jonathan “Jonah” Nolan, PERSON OF INTEREST began life on CBS in 2011. Michael Emerson stars as the enigmatic Mr. Finch (we find out later his first name is Harold and he’s found of bird pseudonyms as a last name) who developed a machine that, as his opening narration explains, was designed to detect acts of terror. That part went to the government. However, Mr. Finch found that another part of the machine could detect threats against ordinary people and hired guilt-stricken former spy John Reese (Jim Caviezel) to prevent these threats from coming to fruition. By Season 4, […]Read On »

Because obviously they wouldn’t be nearly as confused as they appear to be when first seeing the dead come back to […]Read On »
