Watchmen Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘She Was Killed by Space Junk’

by

Nor has an hour of television and two jokes had more narrative importance than they do here. Bitterness, regret and lack of closure are strong motivators which combine with sarcasm and bluntness to introduce […]

by

Red Stewart reviews the fourth episode of Black Lightning season 3… If there is one production question I would want answered from the producers of Black Lightning, it would be how far in advance they are given: 1) the greenlight to start writing next season’s episodes and 2) the order of episodes for said season.
