THE FLASH Recap “The Present”

By Justin Carter After last week’s mega-crossover event, The Flash decided to use its winter finale to wind things down and take a beat in order to let everything settle in until its return in January. And that meant going back to the big bad for the season, Savitar, and his trusty lil’ henchman, Alchemy.... Read More

TV REVIEW: Sleepy Hollow “What Lies Beneath”

By Jennie Bragg Sleepy Hollow is always about the mash-up, it’s just a question of what the week’s ingredients are. “What Lies Beneath” had a bit of sci fi, a bit of The Walking Dead, maybe a splash of Doctor Who. While this episode didn’t rock us with as many revelations as last week’s “Spellcaster,”... Read More

TV REVIEW: Sparks Fly in The Originals “The Devil is Damned”

By Erin Resnick If you were forced to sleep for ninety percent of your life, only waking once every decade to breathe some fresh air, how would you spend it? Would you brush up on your basic witchcraft? Stalk your family of vampires? Binge watch The Vampire Diaries on Netflix? This week’s episode of The... Read More

TV REVIEW: Extant Loses Itself in its Own Conspiracy in “A New World”

By Chelsea Hensley How many times are people on Extant going to try to wrangle the offspring by force and getting the guns of their comrades turned against them in the process, before it catches on that it’s not a good idea? Even before “A New World,” the offspring had displayed this particular ability several... Read More

First Impressions: Why FOX’s “Gang Related” is Worth Investigating

What’s this? A series advertised as ‘gritty and fast-paced’ that is actually both? Surprisingly, Gang Related from creator/writer Chris Morgan (Wanted, Fast Five), and executive producers Brian Grazer (24, A Beautiful Mind) and Scott Rosenbaum (The Shield) managed to exceed our expectations of what this mid-season cop drama should be. ScreenSpy screened the pilot episode, along with... Read More

TV REVIEW: Revisionist History is a Grayson Specialty in Revenge’s “Disgrace”

Espionage. Blackmail. Extortion. Breaking and entering. High fashion (and how!) And REVENGE! Can it get any better than this? We’ve run out of sufficient words to describe the outrageous fun of our weekly dose of the Hamptons. Revenge’s “Disgrace” opens with Emily’s Cinderella-esqe exodus from the opera wearing her most stunning dress to date, an exquisite strapless Champagne... Read More

TV REVIEW: Helix “The Reaping”

By Clinton Bell Helix’s penultimate installment is a talky, and largely disappointing hour. After last week’s blood-soaked introduction to The Scythe, he is mostly wasted here, and is not nearly as scary as he was at the climax of “Black Rain.” He is even rather easily apprehended at the episode’s climax. Speaking of which, the climax... Read More

Has Revenge Been Rejuvenated? Our Thoughts On the Season Premiere

‘Fear,’ Revenge’s season three premiere, opened last night with the juxtaposing images of a deceptively serene post-nuptial sunset cruise and a bullets-to-the-bustier assault upon Emily Thorne. That’s just in the first forty-five seconds. Okay, Revenge, you’ve got our attention! What’s next? Let’s see … how about Jack blackmailing Emily, Conrad being diagnosed with a neurologically degenerative disease, and Nolan... Read More

Mothers, Lock Up Your Babies, & Don’t Drink The Water: Motive Finale Double Feature Review

Motive caps off its freshman season with a double feature, presenting us with a child-killer, a horrifyingly chilling CYA assisted suicide, and a botched attempt to eliminate a mass murderer from the gene pool. While ‘Ruthless,’ the first of the double-header, follows the usual Motive formula, the second and far more disturbing offering, entitled ‘The One Who... Read More

A Woman Scorched: Covert Affairs ‘Crackity Jones’ Review

In ‘Crackity Jones,’ Covert Affairs had the fandom reeling from a gut-wrenching break-up after a three-year build and only eight episodes on the mattress. What the flapjacks, people?! Did Auggie and Annie really just break up?! Perabo and Gorham’s portrayal of star-crossed love gone lorn was deliciously painful to watch. How poignant—that look of utter abandonment... Read More

Where’s The Applause?: Twisted “Out With The In Crowd” Review

Twisted‘s summer finale “Out With The In Crowd” wasn’t the most jaw dropping thing ever delivered to tv viewers. However, it came very close to a return to form. In the case of Twisted (and in light of some storytelling snafus) this was a great step forward for a new round of twists and turns.... Read More

Female Robbery: Mistresses “Full Disclosure” Review

Mistresses was open and honest this week as the women attempted to maturely talk out their hang ups, in hopes that it would help bring them to the right answer. In “Full Disclosure” we saw April trying to navigate the now murky relationship waters with Richard for their girls, while Karen went head to head... Read More

Burning Down the House: Breaking Bad Recap “Confessions”

“There’s only one solution: step up, be a man, and admit what you’ve done.” AMC’s other greatest television series of all time, Mad Men, is often dinged for being too “on the nose” with its symbolism and repetition of themes. Breaking Bad has avoided the same criticism, but sometimes it too revels in being a... Read More

Motive Review: Murderous Counterpunch in ‘Brute Force’

‘Brute Force,’ in cryptology, refers to dominating an uncooperative subject through extreme measures for the purpose of exploiting a weakness when all other avenues have proven ineffectual. How does one kill an iron-willed, mountainously muscled and undefeated erstwhile Olympic-boxing gold medalist when you’re a half-pint in a wheelchair? Brute force. That’s how. Brute force and...

Covert Affairs Review: Step Into My Office, Said the Spider to the Fly

Covert Affairs’ “Space (I Believe In)” belongs to the subtle but undeniably spellbinding chemistry between Henry Wilcox and Annie Walker. Okay, spellbinding might be pushing it a bit, but there is most assuredly a beguiling web being weaved here that borders on the captivating. Bear with me for a moment while we’ll do a little deconstruction. As... Read More

Don’t Need No Other Lover: Mistresses “Indecent Proposals” Review

Mistresses made quite the steamy return this week coming off a short hiatus. “Indecent Proposals” was significantly more predictable than previous episodes, but it delivered on a few guilty pleasure storylines which made up for it nicely. Getting what we have wanted, however, may come at a price of the things we already like. Savi’s... Read More

Breaking Bad Recap “Buried”

“You’re done being his victim.” After all the ink that was spilled about how Breaking Bad was completely redefining television narrative by pushing the plot far ahead of where we assumed they’d begin last week, this episode was a necessary (if light) tap on the brakes. The tense confrontation that closed “Blood Money” ends with... Read More

Motive “Fallen Angel” Review: Gone to the Dogs

Wow. This week’s episode had everything. Porn and gambling habits, greed, violence, lying, stealing, cheating, betrayal — and blasphemy. Dang. Did we leave anything out? Oh, yes. Murder. Murder, and a really screwed-up motive! This week’s Motive—directed by Andy Mikita who produced runaway cult dramas Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis—pokes a sharp stick at the oft-times...
