We went to a special event this week, showcasing the best of TV channel, Quest. The fledging channel launched in 2009 and since then has experienced phenomenal growth and is due to be rebranded in the coming weeks. Billed as the place where fact is bigger than fiction, Quest has a raft of exciting new […]
Television movies based on the time of the world wars always create interest, but in countries like the UK we normally focus on the side we relate to the most, the allies. Inspector De Luca is an Italian series that gained interest through the popularity of European detective shows, but where most go for the […]
So, here we are, officially on the road to WrestleMania, the time of year where WWE pull out all the stops in order to sell as many PPV’s as possible come April. Royal Rumble has always been the beginning of this segment of the year and often is the time when WWE brings in popular […]
So here we are, 24 hours removed from WrestleMania 30, the biggest WWE event in many moons and a landmark event in many ways. WrestleMania saw Daniel Bryan defeat Triple H, Batista and Randy Orton to become the WWE World Champion, Brock Lesnar break The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak, Cesaro win the Andre the Giant Memorial […]
Stars: Joey King, Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks, Allison Tolman, Bob Odenkirk, Susan Park, Tom Musgrave | Based on the film by The Coen Brothers With FX’s new series, Fargo, (premiering April 15th at 10/9c), it would seem that the writers, producers, and any creative person behind the scenes would be facing the […]
Syfy have today announced they have greenlit a 12-episode summer series, The Wil Wheaton Project (working title), a weekly topical comedy show hosted by actor, blogger and champion of geek culture Wil Wheaton. The 30-minute show will offer a fast-paced, lighthearted exploration and celebration of all things within the realm of science fiction and genre […]
Here we are then, less than a week from WWE’s biggest annual event, WrestleMania 30. This is the go-home RAW, an episode in which, most years, all matches for the big event are finalised, feuds are heated up ready for the pay per view, and fans are left with a desire to see the roster […]
One of my favourite Syfy shows ever, Warehouse 13, is returning to our screens in April (well at least in the US) and in anticipation of the fifth season debut Syfy have released a trailer for the new season, taking a look at what’s in store for fans in the shows fifth and [sadly] final […]
We are less than two weeks away from WrestleMania 30 and so the television shows that WWE promotes between now and then are the most important “go-home” shows of the year for the company. The final “big sell” before the big show itself. Tonight, RAW is live from Brooklyn, New York. In the next two […]
Stars: Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Annet Mahendru, Holly Taylor | Created by Joseph Weisberg “We’re screwed” – Stan Beeman. Never has there been a more ominous portent uttered by anyone on any show than this declaritive statement which, rather fittingly comes at the end of a big confession scene in which one man holding a deep personal secret […]
We continue on the Road to WrestleMania XXX and are less than three weeks away. Recent developments in the storylines leading to the event have made it all the more appealing and opened up some intriguing questions as we approach the thirtieth “showcase of the immortals” in New Orleans. Tonight, we are live from San […]
Nordic Noir is popular in the United Kingdom right now and we tend to get hooked whenever we are given a new morsel to chew on. One thing we’d be stupid to not realise though is that Europe has much more to offer than just that certain brand of Noir. Salamander: The Complete Season One […]
Stars: Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Annet Mahendru, Holly Taylor | Created by Joseph Weisberg We’re now sixteen episodes into The Americans and the one thing that we’ve never been privy to is Philip and Elizabeth’s life before we met them proper. We’ve had bits and pieces like Elizabeth’s horrifying rape or Philip’s past life with the agent but its been […]
Stars: Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen, Caroline Dhavernas, Laurence Fishburne | Created by Bryan Fuller Sakizuke: an appetizer similar to the French amuse-bouche. Not so long ago, (okay, a REALLY long time ago) a friend and I had an argument about the actors who have played Hannibal Lector. I was staunchly opposed to his declarations that […]
Stars: Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Annet Mahendru, Holly Taylor | Created by Joseph Weisberg ‘Cardinal’ serves as a part two to last week’s premiere and answers a whole lot that was left over from last week, but leaves just a little bit to savor in the coming weeks, like the little teensy slip of the word cardinal at […]
Stars: Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen, Caroline Dhavernas, Laurence Fishburne | Created by Bryan Fuller Kaiseki: a type of multicourse Japanese meal offering small dishes; a Japanese tasting menu Wisely, Bryan Fuller, who co-scripted the premiere, leaves Will in lockup as the season begins (forced to be picked apart by antagonistic Frederick Chilton), and truly haunted […]
Books that look behind the scenes of television shows can differ in how much depth they go into. In the superficial sense some can just give a description of the characters, give episode synopsis and choose a few episodes to look at. Grimm: Below the Surface is a surprisingly in-depth look at the show that […]
Stars: Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Noah Emmerich, Holly Taylor, Keidrich Sellati | Created by Joseph Weisberg Let’s begin at the end here. It makes the most sense to do so. Or as close to the end as we can get. We know that espionage isn’t exactly a sunshine and lollipops kind of business. It’s abhorrent behavior, […]
We are twenty-four hours removed from WWE Elimination Chamber, the show that ended with Randy Orton retaining his WWE World Title in a chamber match against five opponents, including Daniel Bryan. Tonight has a lot of hype about it, with the launch of the WWE Network in the US, and the return of Hulk Hogan […]
— SPOILERS LIE BEYOND HERE — We all know how the saga of Norman Bates is going to end. It’s something that’s been so ingrained in the pop culture lexicon for many years that I was actually shocked when discussing Bates Motel, with others, that they didn’t actually know how this was all going to […]
Original airdate – May 15th, 1990 There’s a reason I don’t usually remember the Tales From the Crypt episodes with no supernatural leanings – it’s because they’re bland. Look, every episode, you’ll find a single certainty: there’s going to be someone getting killed or someone deserving of some major cosmic comeuppance, and then they get […]
