Black Lightning Season 1 Episode 1 Review – ‘The Resurrection’

by

Red Stewart reviews the first episode of Black Lightning… Since Marvel’s reinvention of the genre in the 1960s, superhero comics have extended past the two-dimensional good vs. bad dynamic and delved into some tragically deep themes. Though this has been downplayed in the current renaissance of superhero movies and television shows, we still get bursts […]

Riverdale Season 2 Episode 10 Review – ‘The Blackboard Jungle’

by

Liam Hoofe reviews the tenth episode of Riverdale season 2… Oh Riverdale, how I’ve missed you.

The X-Files Season 11 Episode 3 Review – ‘Plus One’

by

Matt Rodgers reviews the third episode of The X-Files season 11… In an episode bookended by a playful David Duchovny at his smirking best, Plus One is season eleven’s first freak-of-the-week hour-long, and a return to scripting duties for series creator, Chris Carter. This feels like one of those mid-season filler episodes from peak X-Files […]

by

by
