Preview: The Magicians (Syfy) - A.k.a. Harry Potter and the college experience
By Robin Oatley on December 10, 2015
Follow Quentin Coldwater as he steps into the magical world of… well… magic. But don’t worry, The Magicians is unlikely to bear a lot of resemblance to the Potter-empire.
Review: Telenovela (NBC) - From Desperate Housewife to desperate soap star
By Daniel Redford on December 8, 2015
While it is a nice thing what NBC and Longoria are trying to do here, Telenovela is in essence just a workplace comedy about goofy people that coincidentally has the backdrop of a telenovela. And it just might have worked, except it actually doesn’t.
Review: Superstore (NBC) - Actually surprisingly not terrible
By Daniel Redford on December 1, 2015
Superstore always looked like one of those cheesy midseason NBC sitcoms that had no chance of succeeding in the long run. And, well, it kind of is, too. But, and this is a big but, it is actually not an awful show to watch.

Preview: Childhood’s End (Syfy) - The end of an era
By Emily Donovan on November 24, 2015
Syfy’s Childhood’s End is an adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s classic story about a peaceful alien invasion, which at first brings utopia for all humans, but it slowly turns out the aliens might have a hidden agenda.
Review: Chicago Med (NBC) – A perfect addition to the trilogy
By Robin Oatley on November 18, 2015
Chicago Med is a worthy addition to the Chicago-series. Although it is quite hectic and the series could benefit from a little more focus, it is a solid medical drama. However, if it hadn’t been for the unique setup of the Chicago-trio, the series would have been as generic as any other medical drama out there.
Review: Into The Badlands (AMC) – Definitely the hit AMC needed
By Robin Oatley on November 16, 2015
Into The Badlands combines the post-apocalyptic vibe with a very violent society. At the center of all this violence are a man named Sunny and a boy named M.K. The two strangers are mysteriously tied together in this suspense-filled six-episode series.
Review: Agent X (TNT) - Another good concept not done justice
By Emily Donovan on November 9, 2015
Agent X is a show with a good concept, but its lack in compelling characters and the simplicity of the execution does not make this a great show to watch, albeit entertaining.
Preview: Chicago Med (NBC) - Branching out the success of its predecessors
By Robin Oatley on October 30, 2015
Chicago Med is the third installment of the Chicago-series, preceded by Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. Like the other two, Chicago Med will follow a group of professionals performing their high-intensity jobs. The series will intertwine with Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D., so we can expect a lot of crossovers.
Review: Wicked City (ABC) - Haven’t I seen this before? About a million times?
By Robin Oatley on October 28, 2015
In essence, Wicked City’s story isn’t even really bad, it’s just that it’s all been done before many, many times. It’s like ABC was so desperate to put an anthology on the market they just went with the first thing they found. Eventually they ended up taking a perfectly good premise and ruining it by making it one big deja vu.
