As if the show weren’t already overstuffed with goofy villains, ‘Gotham’ pulled yet another colorful madman from the pages of ‘Batman’ comics this week. Sadly, that character’s introduction is the least interesting thing about the...
As I mentioned last week, the Season 3 premiere of ‘Gotham’ left me questioning whether I even want to watch the show anymore. Fortunately, the second episode is an improvement.
As far as new Fox TV shows spun off from dormant movie franchises go, ‘The Exorcist’ has a lot more going for it than the very dopey ‘Lethal Weapon‘. So why is the network dumping it right from the start in a lousy Friday night ti...
Over the last three decades, the quintessential ’80s cop/buddy action classic ‘Lethal Weapon’ has gotten three official sequels along with innumerable knockoffs and parodies. Now, 30 years later, it also gets a spinoff TV series. ...
Fox’s imperfect but fun horror spoof ‘Scream Queens’ has returned for a second season of skewering genre conventions. Even though the setting and horror theme have changed, it turns out that the show is not exactly an anthology li...

One year ago, I wrote about the first season finale of ‘Wayward Pines’ fully expecting it to be the series finale. Somehow, the show got renewed. Even though the second season didn’t start off great, I continued to watch. Now that...
I’m not really sure how ‘Wayward Pines’ got renewed for a second season. The show was promoted as a one-time “Limited Event” series last summer. Although it ended on something of a cliffhanger, it frankly wasn’t compelling enough ...
The past few weeks have been very busy and I’m still catching up on the many TV season finales that aired recently. Forgive the lateness of some of these recaps, but I still plan to follow through with shows I’ve followed consiste...
As soon as the show introduced the concept of resurrection from the dead, it was an inevitability that Jada Pinkett Smith would return to ‘Gotham’ as arch villainess Fish Mooney. (Please don’t moan about spoilers. This was teased ...
