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...
As much as I enjoy ‘Penny Dreadful’, the show’s confused and sometimes incoherent plotting has been a frustration all along. The new season apparently wants to tie together old storylines from the first two years...
In my opinion (which may not be shared by all fans), ‘Game of Thrones’ is rarely at its strongest when it goes for big action spectacle. My favorite episodes are those that focus on scheming and plotting and duplicitou...

Frankly, I was grateful that Dorian Gray didn’t appear in the season premiere of ‘Penny Dreadful’ last week. He was the show’s most annoying character last season. As I feared, unfortunately, he’s bac...
Their sworn enemy Vandal Savage has been captured. This really ought to be great news for the ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ team. You know they’re going to screw it up somehow, though, right?
