Cast: Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett Smith, Robin Lord Taylor, David Mazouz, Camren Bicondova, Erin Richards, Sean Pertwee, Morena Baccarin, John Dorman, Cory Michael Smith, David Zayas Writer: Ben Edlund Network: Airs on Fox, Mondays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: Jan. 19, 2015 Everything came together in the mobster mythology arc on GOTHAM in “What the Little Bird Told Him.” It was a culmination of all of the episodes we have seen so far concerning Fish (Jada Pinkett Smith), Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) and Falcone (John Doman). The mobster mythology has carried throughout the entire first season so far […]Read On »

Cast: Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Kirk Acevedo, Noah Bean, Demore Barnes, Barbara Sukowa, Alisen Down Director: Jeffrey Reiner Network: Airs on SyFy, Fridays @ 9:00 P.M. Original Telecast: Jan. 17, 2015 The original 12 MONKEYS was a bit of an odd duck when it came to science fiction movies. Made in 1995, it involved a bleak view of the future where a virus of some sort had wiped out the human race and only a handful of people left remaining survive in terrible conditions barely getting by. Somehow, these few people managed to craft a way to send people back […]Read On »

Cast: Hayley Atwell, James D’Arcy, Chad Michael Murray, Enver Gjokaj, Shea Whigham, Lyndsy Fonseca, Kyle Bornheimer, Meagen Fay, Dominic Cooper Writers: Andi Bushell Director: Scott Winant Network: Airs on ABC, Tuesdays @ 9:00 P.M. Original telecast: Jan. 13, 2015 There is so much that I like about MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER that even some of the things I didn’t like about “Time & Tide” I can seem to look past. AGENT CARTER is the non-superhero, superhero show that we needed and should be airing rather than MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD that initially started as a non-superhero, superhero show when it should […]Read On »

Taraki P. Henson in EMPIRE - Season 1 | ©2015 Fox/Michael Lavine

In Fox’s new drama EMPIRE, created by Danny Strong and Lee Daniels, we are in the world of hip-hop music. The new series introduces us to music mogul Lucious Lyon, played by Terrence Howard. Lucious is suffering from a serious illness and struggles to retain power while also trying to plan his legacy. Son Jamal, played by Jussie Smollett, is perhaps the most talented and qualified choice, but Jamal is gay, and Lucious cannot bear that. Challenging Lucious on virtually everything is his ex-wife Cookie, played by Taraji P. Henson. Henson and Howard previously worked together in 2005’s HUSTLE & […]Read On »

Not only does the show do a great job of balancing the “bad guy of the week” with […]Read On »

If you are unfamiliar with BIOSHOCK, it is an award winning video game based on an idea that a slew of rich people disgusted with the way America was turning broke off from the Union in the […]Read On »

Syfy’s miniseries ASCENSION, which runs in three two-hour blocks this week, is set in space – in the present. In creator Adrian Cruz’s premise, President Kennedy secretly authorized a project to send a number of people on what will be a hundred-year mission to reach the nearest inhabitable planet, which will be the salvation of the human race if Earth is destroyed by the nuclear threat that then seemed imminent. It’s now fifty years into the journey. The population aboard the Ascension has reached six hundred, though no one aboard has any contact with Earth or indeed even knows if […]Read On »

Cast: Matt Ryan, Angelica Celaya, Charles Halford, Harold Perrineau, Michael James Shaw, Emmett J Scanlan Writer: Carly Wray Director: TJ Scott Network: Airs on NBC, Fridays @ 10p.m. Original Telecast: Dec. 12, 2014 If NBC does not renew CONSTANTINE for a second season it will really be a shame because as “The Saint of Last Resorts” proved, there is a lot that this show has to offer and a show that could be taken in a variety of entertaining ways. The Fall Finale is the first two-parter of the season leaving viewers dangling at the edge as to what will […]Read On »

Cast: Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Chloe Bennet, Elizabeth Henstridge, Nick Blood, BJ Britt, Iaini De Caestecker, Brett Dalton, Henry Simmons, Adrianne Palicki Writer: Jeffrey Bell Director: Michael Zinberg Network: Airs on ABC, Tuesdays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: Nov. 18, 2014 There was a lot going on in the winter finale of MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD. And that’s a good thing considering winter finale’s need to have an impact. It’s a better thing for show such as AOS that at times seems to drag its feet on a lot of its storylines or misses the boat entirely. The first half […]Read On »
