Pick of the Week: Constantine

Of all of the shows for the new television season the one that has looked the most stylized, the most interesting and the most likely to have a break out star is Constantine that debuts this Friday on NBC at 10pm. I am not, it has to be said, particularly [...]

Time to watch The Blacklist again

The first two weeks of September. A complete and utter desolation in terms of interesting and quality shows prior to the kick off of the new season (and yes I know there’s one show you can point to and no, I’m not a fan). Shows that hardly anyone cares about [...]

One of the joys of watching an awful lot of television is that every now and again you get blindsided by a show that you have no expectations for and yet is thoroughly entertaining. Such is the case with Forever, the new ABC drama that stars Ioan Gruffudd, Alana de [...]

Crossbones brings Malkovich to NBC

Last Friday saw the premiere of Crossbones, the new NBC themed pirate drama staring John Malkovich and Richard Coyle. ‘John Malkovich as Blackbeard’ surely has to be one of the easiest pitches ever. I wanted this to be good; I so wanted this to be good. And stunningly and wonderfully [...]

The Wil Wheaton Project highlights the week ahead

The Syfy channel, which recently achieved the unenviable record of having not a single original series worth watching – Continuum doesn’t count, it’s a Canadian show – will look to rectify that programming error with the premiere of The Wil Wheaton Project at 10pm this Tuesday. The actor, writer and [...]

Kiefer Sutherland’s return as Jack Bauer highlights an excellent mix of shows and sports this week when 24: Live Another Day premieres on Fox at 8 p.m. on Monday. It has been four years since the last episode of 24 when there were plans for a movie franchise. Ultimately those [...]

Will Enough People Believe?

The NBC show Believe faces something of an uncertain future with no guarantee that the series will be picked up for a second season. That’s unfortunate because after a slow start there’s some real potential if given the opportunity. Created by Alfonso Cuaron, winner of the Academy Award for Best [...]

Crisis has much to love, but…

Every now and again you come across a show that you just can’t get a clear and concise handle on. There’s usually a good premise, some quality actors and that nagging feeling that it’s all going to be a colossal waste of time. And yet Crisis, the new drama series [...]

Crossing Lines is a hidden gem

Well, that was a pleasant surprise. The old Netflix suggestion algorithm threw up another fascinating show this week with the recommendation of the series Crossing Lines. Down in the depths of Netflix and Hulu, I occasionally miss a series that is shown on broadcast television. Such is the case with [...]

You Gotta See This – My Top Five Part III – Ironside

I’m not choosing this series because I need another cop show to watch, my viewing schedule is well full of those, in fact I may be trimming some as the year goes on.  I’m watching this program because, even in a wheelchair, Blair Underwood is freaking cool!  Seriously, there really [...]

You Gotta See This – My Top Five Part II – The Blacklist

International criminal conspiracy, terrorism, intrigue, FBI profilers, national security, justice, and James Spader, to use a cliché; they had me at hello.  I looked everywhere for a preview version of the pilot episode and was unable to find one so I was forced to watch and re-watch the previews available [...]
