Though The CW's DC's Legends of Tomorrow bid farewell to Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford at the end of "Romeo v Juliet: Dawn of Justness," we're not sure you ever really leave the Arrowverse family. That feeling's even stronger during times like these, with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forcing people to self-isolate and social-distance – […]

SYFY's 10-episode space-faring series Vagrant Queen set sail for the stars Friday night, but there might be a chance you were a little too busy this week to catch the premiere. If you're like us, you've been adjusting to working strictly from home while under a banner of social distancing and self-quarantining – so "free […]

Just because it's been a few months since we last visited HBO and Damon Lindelof's pseudo-sequel/"remix" of Dave Gibbons/ He-Who-Doesn't-Want-To-Be-Named's classic comic book series Watchmen doesn't mean the cast has stopped thinking about us. In this time of social distancing and self-quarantining caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Regina King, Tim Blake Nelson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, […]

The CW and DC Universe's live-action Stargirl has done a great job of giving viewers a better understanding of not just Courtney Whitmore's (Brec Bassinger) backstory but also the show's historical perspective on how the cosmic staff finds its way to her hands. Now a little bad news – viewers waiting to check it out […]

The CW's Katy Keene earned some serious "pop culture street cred" with us for tackling the musical version of Kiss of the Spider Woman last week, but this week? It's about dealing with the fallout as season-long dramas get a whole lot more serious. Jorge (Jonny Beauchamp) finds himself facing a conversation he's been avoiding, […]

With DC Universe and The CW's live-action Stargirl ready to inspire a new generation of young heroes beginning Monday, May 11 (airing Tuesday, May 12, on The CW), the show's creator/co-showrunner Geoff Johns released an open, heartfelt, and incredibly personal letter to viewers. Included with advance screener copies of the series' first three episodes, the […]

The CW's Supergirl shifts its focus this week from Kara to Alex (Chyler Leigh) as she enters the Obsidian North virtual world looking for escape. Instead she finds herself unwilling/unable to leave after getting overtaken by the fantasy of living as Supergirl. For a season that has set the idea of escaping into a virtual […]

The CW's Supergirl did a very strange thing this week – it killed off a character in the lamest way imaginable. Jeremiah Danvers was the father of Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) and Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist). He was played by Dean Cain, who played Clark Kent in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman back […]

The CW's Batwoman goes dark and heavy as we deal with the fallout from last week's episode where Kate (Ruby Rose) accidentally killed Jonathan Cartwright, Alice's (Rachel Skarsten) kidnapper and torturer. We literally open on the two of them, along with Daddy Kane (Dougray Scott) burying Cartwright under an overpass in some forgotten corner of […]

What a difference 12 days makes. When we last updated you on Amazon Prime's adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's The Boys, they were preparing to take the stage at PaleyFest LA. But that was right before the coronavirus pandemic made self-quarantine and social distancing a must for a large chunk of this nation (and growing). The […]

Well, unless there's some alt-reality, post-"Crisis" vibes in play that we haven't seen yet, The CW's Batwoman took Kate (Ruby Rose) past a line that no one who dons the "dark knight" mantle is supposed to cross. Now she finds herself in the middle of a very unexpected family reunion with Alice (Rachel Skarsten) and […]

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Chloe Bennet (Daisy Johnson) wants to make one thing clear to Donald Trump and his administration: she sees what they're doing and she's calling them out on it. Taking to Instagram, the Chinese-American actor posted a five-page open letter where she condemns the White House for continuing to use the […]

The CW and DC Universe's live-action Stargirl has been shown us it has that Arrowverse "heart" that made sense for it to make a guest appearances in the network's "Crisis" crossover event. Yey even with that in mind, it has its own unique look and vibe that feels more timeless – wearing its legacy and […]

The CW's Supergirl is back this week with "Alex in Wonderland", with Alex (Chyler Leigh) clearly looking for some time away from her life to process  everything she's been hit with lately. So what better way than getting lost in a virtual reality world where you get to leap tall buildings in a single bound? […]

As The Flash/Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) once again faces off against his greatest enemy, Eobard Thawne/The Reverse Flash (Tom Cavanagh), we get an episode filled with flashbacks, swashbuckling adventure, and. . . superhero fitbits? It all works, even though it feels like, despite all the fireworks, the show is a little bit running in place. […]

Today, I have been talking to comic book retailers, publishers and distributors alike, looking at the effect that the coronavirus pandemic is having on comic book stores and the comics industry as a whole, and it is not looking good. To the extent that this could mean the end of the direct market as we […]

Look, we know that there's a lot of other stuff going on during this week's episode of The CW's Katy Keene. Katy (Lucy Hale) continues to have personal and professional drama (thus, the show), Josie's (Ashleigh Murray) feeling frustrated about the direction of her singing career, and Pepper (Julia Chan) needs investors. Why we're here […]

Okay… we'll admit it. It's been a month since Netflix's The Umbrella Academy released the first key art for the series' second-season return. Giving us close-up looks at Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, and Justin Min (in fact, so close that it's only their eyes), the live-action adaptation of Gerard […]

This week, The CW's Supergirl was really all about Dreamer/Nia Nal (Nicole Maines), a welcome change of pace since Nia has been MIA for most of the post-"Crisis" episodes. Someone is targeting the trans community in an attempt to bully Dreamer into quitting being a superhero, and she ends up putting herself in danger to […]

This week's Batwoman was a literal gamechanger, and I'm not sure if this episode is one of the best or one of the worst. There's a moment where I knew exactly what was going to happen next and I wanted to throw something at the television. Alas, I knew I had to watch Supergirl next, […]
