What if under your humdrum daily life there was another, more exciting world – one full of intrigue and exotic danger? Such is the premise of “Dispatches from Elsewhere,” a 10-episode show which premiered on AMC on March 1. In it, a random group of people comes together to play a sort of alternate reality [Continue Reading]

From the retro graphics to the giant shoulder pads (and plenty of cocaine), Showtime’s over-the-top comedy series, Black Monday, has nailed the 1980s. Set in the shadow of the looming international stock market crash of October 19th, 1987, the series follows the underdog trading company, the Jammer Group, that is challenging the blue-blood old guard and [Continue Reading]

The Hunger Games meets Footloose? Glee crossed with Divergent? Whatever the combination, the uniqueness of Hulu’s new original teen series Utopia Falls is attention-getting. This newly-released dystopian future-set sci-fi dance drama (yes, really) has me curious.  Utopia Falls finds us in a ravaged future Earth, where the last living colony lives in the idyllic settlement of New Babyl. Teens are highly trained in dance [Continue Reading]

British writer Nick Hornby’s works are some of the most frequently adapted contemporary writers, with seven feature film adaptations, as well as TV and stage versions. Many of these films are American adaptations of otherwise very British stories, as well as multiple versions of several titles. Perhaps the most beloved is Hornby’s 1995 novel High Fidelity. The [Continue Reading]

The final season of Homeland starts airing Sunday, February 9, 2020. Since I’m also going to cover how to watch all eight seasons of Homeland online, I will keep this relatively spoiler-free. It’s fairly easy to watch Homeland if you don’t have a cable TV package now that Showtime is available to everyone whether you have cable [Continue Reading]
