The Review at the End of the Universe
“Pilot” Superman returns to TV with a new show focused on the Man of Steel as a husband and father in Superman & Lois. I’ve wanted to see more of Tyler Hoechlin’s version of Clark Kent/Superman since his introduction in Supergirl season 2. He would periodically appear on that show as well as in the…
“The Book of Reconstruction Chapter 3: Despite All My Rage…” Black Lightning delivers a fight club episode as Lynn starts to understand the root of her addiction and Jennifer worries about her public image. It’s fair to say that the final season so far has been a slow burn but that’s not a bad thing…
“Gore on Canvas” Batwoman continues the search for Kate Kane by exploring a couple of leads that will hopefully uncover the location of Safiyah’s hidden island. Doubling down on the mystery surrounding Kate’s disappearance is a risky proposition for this show as it will need to be resolved one way or another and it’ll be…
“Breaking the Fourth Wall” WandaVision starts to deliver more answer as Wanda starts to lose her grip on what she considers reality. I should start by saying that I had a less than positive reaction to the sitcom style of this particular episode though that is down to personal preference as it is lampooning the…
A group of people seek refuge following a brutal attack and find themselves stalked by a mysterious and lethal force in Simon David Kay’s Shadowland. Billed as an action horror, Shadowland follows Cam (Ben Keenan); an ex-serviceman turned bodyguard who recruits Elaine (Amelia Eve) to assist with a job escorting an Ambassador (David E. Grimes)…
“The Book of Reconstruction: Chapter Two: Unacceptable Losses” Black Lightning continues to explore the fractured Pierce family dynamic as the situation in Freeland continues to deteriorate. Two episodes into the season it’s clear that a major theme for at least the first arc of the season is grief. This is framed through Jefferson but the…
“Fair Skin, Blue Eyes” Batwoman draws on Ryan’s past to highlight the inequalities that exists within Gotham City when she gets wind of a missing child that conjures up memories of her own past. I’ve mentioned before but a notable thing about Ryan being the lead of this show instead of Kate is that her…
“All-New Halloween Spooktacular!” WandaVision continues to move forward through the decades of sitcoms as Vision actively investigates his artificial surroundings. Many viewers will be especially eager to be provided with a definitive answer to their questions surrounding the cliffhanger ending of the previous episode. Is Pietro from another universe or is something else going on?…
“The Book of Reconstruction: Chapter One: Collateral Damage” Black Lightning returns for its fourth and final season that starts with reflecting on the events of the previous one to set up what the characters need to overcome. I haven’t reviewed this show since just over midway through season two. Real life got on top of…
“On a Very Special Episode…” WandaVision heads into the second half of the season with a massive change in tone and further revelations to be pondered. The way this show has been developing is endlessly interesting to me. What it offers is an engaging mystery that is intensely focused on the involved characters with each…
