Even when Orphan Black (BBC America, Thursdays, 10/9C) lightens up on the mythology to go for seemingly straightforward character stuff, it’s still twisted and complex. The Antisocialism of Sex is one such episode as Sarah seeks to drown her guilt in sex and drugs and booze; Cosima attempts a bit of crazy science; Alison tries […]

The home of Into The Badlands, The Walking Dead, Turn and more adds another potential hit to their solid lineup. The long awaited series Preacher, finally hits AMC Network this week. Premiering Sunday, May 22, at 10pm, Preacher tries to continue their trend of semi-greatness.
Gotham: Strange’s Plans Go Way Off Course!
The second season finale of Gotham – Wrath of the Villains: Transference – flirts heavily with going off the rails, but hangs on to provide a potentially catastrophic cliffhanger in which none of the usual suspects are actually at risk. Oh, no. This time it’s Gotham as a whole that’s in trouble.
Preacher Is Rude, Violent and Blasphemous Fun!
The first few episodes of AMC’s Preacher (Sunday, 10/9C) – adapted from the comic by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon about a preacher who, with two unlikely friends, goes looking for God with the intent of bringing Him back – is a unique series that features that unlikely trio, but does not (yet) go galloping […]
Person of Interest: Shaw’s Back!
Person of Interest (CBS, Mondays and Tuesdays, 10/9C) has taken us through rebuilding The Machine and Her problems with facial recognition and time and now, we get to see Sameen Shaw for the first time since she sacrificed herself so that the rest of the team could escape certain death. As the blurb for the […]
Gotham Gets Stranger (You See What I Did There, Right?)!
As Gotham (FOX, Mondays, 8/7C) steams toward the end of its second season, it has not fallen into bad comics goofiness like it did last year. Instead, it’s gotten darker and more twisted – we’ve even caught a glimpse of Killer Croc (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) in the dying moments of last week’s ep […]
Orphan Black: From Instinct to Rational Control – Maggotbots, Pressure Bombs and Second Generation Clones, Oh, My!
We’re not even halfway into season four of Orphan Black (BBC America, Thursday, 10/9C) and the revelations have come flooding from the minds of the show’s creators like a monsoon. We’ve learned there’s another clone, MK, who was working with Beth; we’ve learned there’s another Castor clone, Ira; we’ve learned that Charlotte was cloned from […]
Person of Interest: Can You See Me?
When Person of Interest (CBS, Mondays/Tuesdays, 10/9C) concluded its fourth season, Samaritan had won and The Machine had been seemingly destroyed. Harold finch had compressed the codes that created his artificial intelligence into a single unit and his team appeared to be finished. Season five opens with Harold, Reese and Root on the run and […]
Grimm: Wolfman Wu?
Things just keep getting more ‘interesting’ on Grimm (NBC, Fridays, 9/8C). If it’s not Captain Renard running for mayor – backed by Black Claw, it’s Wu turning into some kind of wolfman; if it’s not Black Claw kidnapping children, it’s Adalind finally having ‘the talk’ with Nick. With the show’s fifth season tearing through its […]
Lucifer: What Scares the Devil?
The first season of Lucifer (FOX, Mondays, 9/8C) comes a close with an episode that requires us to watch to the final word – for a cliffhanger that reveals the one thing that actually scares the devil. But first, Lucifer Morningstar must work with his angelic brother, Amenadiel to find the crooked cop who framed […]
The 100 Ep 9 – Stealing Thunder. Best Episode of the Season
I’m one of those crazy fans who was really upset with Episode 7 and didn’t bother to watch the last Arkadia centric episode. I repeatedly stated in these recaps how much I’m loathing everything going on in Arkadia this season, so I certainly wasn’t going to waste my time watching an episode dedicated to all […]
