Cast: Matt Ryan, Angelica Celaya, Charles Halford, Harold Perrineau, Michael James Shaw, Emmett J Scanlan Writer: Cameron Welsh Director: John F. Showalter Network: Airs on NBC, Fridays @ 10p.m. Original Telecast: Nov. 14, 2014 This was a brutal episode of CONSTANTINE. And that’s a good thing. From start to finish this was, by far, the ugliest and horrific demon that John Constantine (Matt Ryan) has had to face so far on the NBC show. “A Feast of Friends” is a fitting title because it goes to the core of what the episode was about. A former black arts student of […]Read On »

Goyer, Daniel Cerone Director: Neil Marshall Network: Airs on NBC, Fridays @ 10p.m. Original Telecast: Nov. 7, 2014 Last week on CONSTANTINE, we were introduced to Zed Martin (Angélica Celaya) as John Constantine’s partner on the supernatural show, as much as Constantine doesn’t want her around nor think she is legit. But there is no denying that her talents – the ability to have visions of upcoming evil (not to mention knowing sign language and modern technology) – come in handy during […]Read On »

Cast: Matt Ryan, Angelica Celaya, Charles Halford, Harold Perrineau, Michael James Shaw, Emmett J Scanlan Writer: David S. Goyer, Daniel Cerone Director: Neil Marshall Network: Airs on NBC, Fridays @ 10p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 24, 2014 So CONSTANTINE’s premiere episode isn’t entitled “Pilot” for the reason that the Pilot episode is something completely different than what was delivered in “Non Est Asylum.” Hopefully, for the better. CONSTANTINE is based on the comic book HELLBLAZER (that also spawned a movie of the same name starring Keanu Reeves) about John Constantine, a damned demon hunter and master of the occult that fights […]Read On »

From REVOLUTION, FALLING SKIES, the TNT series THE LAST SHIP and last summer’s UNDER THE DOME, there’s a similarity in tone and execution in all these stories with their success pending on how they keep the […]Read On »

Adelson Network: Airs on SyFy, Fridays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: Jan. 17, 2014 The problem of just a few infected on HELIX just got a hell of a lot bigger. “274” showed that the infection isn’t just contained to a half dozen or so individuals inside the research facility but nearly one-third of the entire facility is now in some sort carrying the infection But that just might be the tip of the preverbal iceberg.

For this show, however, it hasn’t been that bad. In fact, the one-shot episodes have […]Read On »
