Amazon’s Lord of the Rings show to bring Middle-earth to the small screen
There are enough compendiums, indexes, and characters who were cut from Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings oeuvre that are still to be explored from within the pages of J.R.R. Tolkien’s source material, that the news a large-scale TV project is being developed by Warner Bros. Television should be about as surprising as the return […]

The Orville Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘Into the Fold’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of The Orville season 1… This narrative segue might be old-fashioned, stereotypical and not without a blatant appeal to audience’s heartstrings, but it works effectively to put Doctor Claire Finn and Isaac together.

Arrow Season 6 Episode 4 Review – ‘Reversal’
Jessie Robertson reviews the fourth episode of Arrow season 6… On Diggle’s 2nd mission, Oliver flies co-pilot and a mysterious baddie is revealed! Ollicity, to some, was deemed DOA and a complete disaster; it was something everyone was begging for (ok, the root CW audience) but once they got it, they hated it and it […]
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 4 – ‘Phone Home’
Jessie Robertson reviews the fourth episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow season 3… Legends basically parodies (?) ET and it’s marvelous. When the Arrowverse started, it began with Arrow; a dark, brutal journey through vigilantism that was still part CW show with hot, beautiful people in ever-changing relationships but with mysterious pasts. When The Flash […]
