Lethal Weapon Season 1 Episode 1 Review – ‘Pilot’
Rachel Bellwoar reviews the first episode of Lethal Weapon season 1… The Lethal Weapon franchise (and action movies, overall) have never been known for their subtlety. Lethal Weapon, the TV show, seems to take that note one step further, by repeatedly pushing the same points throughout the course of its “Pilot.” Take cop and family man, Roger Murtaugh’s, recent heart […]

Preacher Adaptation: Not “better” or “worse” but “different”
Rachel Bellwoar on AMC’s Preacher adaptation… Similar to Martin Carr, who writes the show’s episode reviews, I started Preacher only slightly familiar with Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s graphic novels.
