Image

With a video game already in development based on the comic series of the same name, people didn't see need for a ...

Doctor Who (Classic): The Mind Robber

Image
      Created by: Sydney Newman, C. E. Webber, Donald Wilson Directed by: David Maloney Produced by: Peter Bryant  Written by: Derrick Sherwin and Peter Ling Starring: Patrick Troughton (the Doctor), Frazer Hines and Hamish Wilson (Jamie McCrimmon), Wendy Padbury (Zoe Heriot) Can't find official trailers for series this old, but this is just as good! Doctor Who: the Mind Robber  episode 1 clip: I'll admit it: I'm a sucker for graphics and CGI. Today's technology makes my imagination explode with its ability to bring us anywhere and make anything come to life. This is exemplified in shows like Rings of Power , Wheel of Time , and The Sandman , all of which bring impossible worlds to our doorstep.  But then I watch classic Doctor Who  and I remember... some stories don't need all that.  The Mind Robber  is next in a very  slow progression I'm making through Doctor Who 's classic era. I started this journey once I became...

Special Ops: Lioness: Season 1

Image
   Created by: Taylor Sheridan Written by: Taylor Sheridan with Thomas Brady Starring: Zoe Saldaña (Joe), Laysla De Oliveira (Cruz), Nicole Kidman (Kaitlyn), Dave Annable (Neil), Jill Wagner (Bobby), LaMonica Garrett (Tucker), James Jordan ("Two Cups"), Austin Hébert (Randy), Jonah Wharton (Tex), Thad Luckinbill (Kyle), Stephanie Nur (Aaliyah), Hannah Love Lanier (Kate) Special Ops: Lioness  season 1 trailer:   Taylor Sheridan does it again!  Wow, I feel so lucky that I happened to tune into Yellowstone  prequel 1923  several months back. At that point I flippantly though to myself, " Yellowstone  is huge. I'll check out something in the same universe that's just starting so I don't have to watch so many seasons." And goodness, that was all it took. 1923  blew me away, so I tried out 1883  to see if it had the same magic, and it absolutely did. So when I saw Sheridan's name on Specia...

The Chosen: Season 1

Image
   Based on: the Biblical gospels of Jesus Created & Directed by: Dallas Jenkins Written by: Dallas Jenkins, Ryan Swanson and Tyler Thompson Starring:  Shahar Isaac (Simon), Jonathan Roumie (Jesus), Elizabeth Tabish (Mary Magdalene), Paras Patel (Matthew), Erick Avari (Nicodemus), Noah James (Andrew), Janis Dardaris (Zohara), Lara Silva (Eden), Shaan Sharma (Shmuel), Nick Shakoour (Zebedee), George H. Xanthis (John), Shayan Sobhian/Kian Kavousi (Big James), Brandon Potter (Quintus), Kirk B. R. Woller (Gaius), Giavani Cairo (Thaddeus), Jordan Walker Ross (Little James) The Chosen  season 1 trailer: I heard all the buzz about this series, but wow .  I don't think I could have been prepared for how good it was, especially coming off a lifetime of cheesy and cliché Christian movies. (Except Prince of Egypt  and Joseph: King of Dreams , I see you.) Even more impressively and probably ...

Wolf Pack

Image
     Based on: 2004 book of the same name by Edo van Belkom Created for TV by: Jeff Davis Written by: Jeff Davis, Emily Eslami, Jeffrey Nieves, Krystal Houghton Ziv, Carlos Foglia, Sean Crouch, and Alessandra Jara Del Castillo Starring: Armani Jackson (Everett), Bella Shepard (Blake), Chloe Rose Robertson (Luna), Tyler Lawrence Gray (Harlan), Rodrigo Santoro (Garrett), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Kristin)  Wolf Pack season 1 trailer: Wolf Pack  stays muddled in angsty teen drama--including plenty of unnecessary, steamy make out scenes--but rises from the mire with intellectual teamwork and wholesome character building, often enough to make a decent season.  The series revolves around a busload of high school students getting trapped on a woodland highway by an oncoming forest fire. As the students evacuate the bus, a mysterious creature comes upon them from the woods, dashing to and fro too quickly to be seen as anything ...

My Adventures with Superman: Season 1

Willis, Angela Entzminger, Paul Chang, and Serena Wu Starring: Jack Quaid (Clark Kent/Superman), Alice Lee (Lois Lane), Ishmel Sahid (Jimmy Olsen), Darrell Brown (Perry White) My Adventures With Superman  season 1 trailer: I will watch basically any TV series that features Superman prominently. He's one of my all-time favorite comic characters, and I love watching just about any iteration of him throughout the years.  Super Friends: *peeks in the door*  Me: 👀 Me: *nudges door closed*  Super Friends: *whispers* we'll be waiting  Me: *confirms door is locked*  In all seriousness, I was really excited to hear news of My Adventures with Superman ( MAWS ) because it was the first DC animated series to be announced after Young Justice 's cancelat...
