Atlantis "A New Dawn: Part Two" Review (Spoilers!)

11/25/2014

by Helen Langdon

Last week, Atlantis left us on a bit of a cliffhanger. Atlantis had lost its magic protecting talisman, Pasiphae stood poised to attack the city and destroy Ariadne, and Hercules and Pythagoras were dragging a wounded, unconscious Jason through a Cyclops-infested cave. Things looked rather bleak back in the time of myths and legends. In this concluding part, could Jason and chums manage to save the day?

Constantine has risen from a shaky start to become an engaging supernatural detective show. This week has the gang of paranormal investigators heading to New Orleans to deal with a vengeful spirit murdering in a method similar to that of its own demise.

Another week, another metahuman. This time, we take a look at Barry’s past as he meets a reminder of his time at school, pre-Flash, and the struggles he used to face.

The 100 "Human Trials" Review (Spoilers!)

Last week ended with a really dark scene, one of the best chances of finding the Mountain Men and bringing peace with the Grounders had been shot dead and Clarke’s health left questionable. Meanwhile Finn and Murphy are out trying to find Clarke, Kane is off to try and make a deal with the Grounders and Jasper is concerned about Clarke’s whereabouts.

American Horror Story "Test Of Strength" Review

11/20/2014

by Cookie N Screen

I have a complete and utter love hate relationship with Ryan Murphy. Totally won other by his diverse, fun and musical television show Glee in its first series, I’ve been in utter dismay as it dwindled into obscure and nonsensical storylines. As for American Horror Story, apart from the (what I think) excellent Asylum, the seasons have all been blighted by an overexcited ringleader who is trying to emulate “shock” rather than write thick episodes that are truly engaging and terrifying (throwing in rape and violence because they can and their audience will gasp). For a while, Freak Show toed the line of what was excellent and what was bad, feeling more like a character excavation which in turn made it brilliant. It’s a shame because all the elements are there.

Pushing Daisies - A Retrospective

by Catherine Wignall

From the mind of Bryan Fuller (responsible for shows such as Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, and NBC’s Hannibal) Pushing Daisies was a forensic fairy tale for the ages, cruelly cancelled after two seasons on ABC, despite seventeen Primetime Emmy nominations, seven wins, and a massive audience of diehard cult fans.

Wizards vs Aliens "The Key of Bone" Review (Spoilers!)

11/19/2014

by Helen Langdon

In this series, Wizards vs Aliens has had to deal with the loss of some of its major characters on both sides of the ongoing war, as well as introducing new characters and upping the stakes in the battle for magic. And up until the most recent episode, “The Key of Bones,” it was doing so well. But this episode? Not so much.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. "The Things We Bury" Review (Spoilers!)

Last week we learnt what the drawings that Coulson keeps carving actually mean, causing the team to search for the city that the drawings mapped out. We see many plotlines take place, making the episode fast paced, manic and, perhaps, a little bit too busy.

Ripper Street "Whitechapel Terminus" & "The Beating of Her Wings" Review (Spoilers!)

by Hayley Charlesworth

A phoenix rising from the ashes is probably the best way to describe Ripper Street. As one of the most intelligent period dramas and police procedurals on television, there was outrage from the legions of fans when the BBC saw fit to cancel the show after two seasons. Enter Amazon Prime, who seeing the outpouring of love for the show, agreed a deal to co-produce a third season with the Beeb. With the first two episodes currently available (further episodes to be added every Friday, with the whole series to be aired on BBC One in the New Year), it’s clear to see that Ripper Street is back with a bang, both metaphorically and literally.

Gotham "Harvey Dent" Review

11/19/2014

by Cookie N Screen

Yawn. That’s it, I have hit a wall with Gotham now. There is nothing ridiculously major pulling me in (other than Robin Lord Taylor’s Penguin rising up the ranks or Sean Pertwee’s alarmingly gun-ho Alfred who last week entered a different level of child guardianship by training Bruce to fight). The reason I’m starting this a little personal and with a first person narrative is because I’m starting to lose patience. The characters are just hanging there with no purpose other than to repeat the same things they are doing. No wonder a lot of television reviews feel the need to nit-pick every second if it’s churning out pure boredom as I am trying hard not to write dull repeatedly here.

I’d hoped that the introduction of one of the most famed villains, pre-horrible disfigurement would level the television series out of its snoozing period. I was vastly mistaken.
