For the first time since Black Flag there was a real buzz […]
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 6 Review – ‘Helen Hunt’
Jessie Robertson reviews the sixth episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow season 3… The opening scene tonight is indicative of what Legends does so well: they perpetuate and use the myth of history to give them their story; now, one could argue, these anachronisms wouldn’t always be the most well-known historical figures and events being […]
The Flash Season 4 Episode 6 Review – ‘When Harry Met Harry’
Jessie Robertson reviews the sixth episode of The Flash season 4… This week’s episode title is clever, but I really just wanted an episode called “The Council of Wells.” Ralph Dibny has become the shot in the arm to really give The Flash back its juice; he encapsulates exactly the goofy nature of the show […]

Tori Brazier reviews the seventh episode of Lucifer season 3… ‘Off the Record’ represents the best episode of Lucifer season 3 so far, with a neat and thought-provoking plot told almost-exclusively from the point of view of guest character Reese (Better Call Saul’s Patrick Fabian).

Alex Moreland reviews the midseason finale of Star Trek: Discovery… You’ve opened a whole new chapter for Discovery.

Arrow Season 6 Episode 5 Review – ‘Deathstroke Returns’
