Jane The Virgin "Chapter One" Review (Spoilers!)

Based on the Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen, it’s fair to be sceptical of how successful Jane the Virgin could be. The word ‘telenovela’ inevitably carries baggage with it and the premise itself takes a bit of believing: Jane, a devout, strictly virginal young woman, is accidentally artificially inseminated with her boss’ sperm.

Daredevil "Rabbit in a Snowstorm" Review

By the time you read this, it will be fairly safe to say that 300% of you will have been to see Avengers: Age of Ultron. At the time of writing, such an event is still two weeks away, so you’ll have to forgive me if I inadvertently, ignorantly discuss things which may tie in with the most anticipated cinematic event of the year so far. I’m not rewriting this because of some post-credits shoutout.

House of Cards "Chapter 35" Review (Spoilers!)

Since Franks colleagues asked him to step down, in this episode this is the first time we have seen him actually engage with his supporters. Of course, there have been snippets but nothing like the scenes we are presented with here. It’s almost like watching a famous star or football coach get a team raring to go before a match; a touch of hooliganism some might say.

Supernatural "The Werther Project" Review (Spoilers!)

Well, The Werther Project was certainly . . . delicious, to quote Rowena, and a hell of a lot more enjoyable than The Sorrows of Young Werther (which, frankly, is a book that should be burnt). Not only was this episode a shining example of what Supernatural can do when it really puts its mind to it, but it also continued to push all the pieces on the chessboard into position in preparation for this season’s grand finale. Whatever happens, it’s sure to be dark.

Outlander "Rent" Review

4/23/2015

by Cookie N Screen

Outlander echoes with this week’s “Rent” a defining statement; “take me for what I am.” Which means at this point, you have to shed all thoughts of comparisons to Game of Thrones or Vikings because this is a different breed of show. Whilst the gruesome elements are still there including the attempted sexual violence against Claire, it is all worryingly fluffed up by the narration and romance that never quite happens. Yet there is something here a little bit enjoyable. Though it’s stiff and underdeveloped, the writing leaving the biggest gaps where true engagement thrives, there is a sniffle of interest that’ll keep you going.

iZombie "Virtual Reality Bites" Review (Spoilers!)

iZombie is such a fun show. There. I said it. I’ll probably say it several more times before the season is through. Sure, it’s still learning, but it’s learning fast and has really been building on the strong groundwork laid out in the pilot.

Game of Thrones "The House of Black and White" Review (Spoilers!)

by Robbie Jones

It’s time for another week of blood and boobies as Game of Thrones airs its second episode of season five. Last week’s season opener was a tad dull, serving only to catch up with the main characters since we left them in season four, but the ball has started rolling as we saw an awesome fight, a cheesy yet enjoyable victory and the return of a true badass.

Community "Advanced Safety Features" Review

by Graham Osborne

There’s nothing sadder than watching something you love slowly fade away. Community is slowly turning into a ghost of its former self, the performance that it gave last week has thrown light on the cracks in its facade, and this week’s attempts to retain the momentum only serve to point out its failings.

Once Upon A Time "Sympathy for the De Vil" Review (Spoilers!)

by Julia Lawson

Victoria Smurfit was fantastically cast as Cruella de Ville, rivalling Glenn Close’s portrayal with ease. This week was her turn to shine as her back story was revealed to include the author, gin and dalmatians. Alongside this, Rumplestiltskin’s plan to change the endings of villains is in motion.

Atlantis "The Madness of Hercules" Review (Spoilers!)

4/20/2015

BBC

by Helen Langdon

“The Madness of Hercules” is a bit of a misleading title for this week’s episode of Atlantis. Given that moniker, we might expect Hercules to be the focus of the episode, maybe drawing on mythological accounts of his insanity. But instead what we get is a fairly solid episode that advances the ongoing plot, and which really shines when it allows itself to have a quiet, character-driven moment.
