The AMC network has hyped its new comic book adaptation ‘Preacher’ so aggressively over the past few months that I couldn’t help approaching it with skepticism. Something about the promos and commercials gave off...
‘Game of Thrones’ rides the proverbial rollercoaster of emotion this week. The majority of the episode is frustratingly dull and the big action climax is a retread of my least favorite scene from the entire series. But...
It’s the metapocalypse on ‘The Flash’ this week, so why does Barry feel so good about it? Coming back from the dead sure makes a guy cocky.
