As far as the DC tv-verse goes this is the one that launched them all. Unlike the MCU (in which all the shows and movies are connected) DC chose to establish separate cannons for their movie, t.v. shows, and comics. Arrow sparked off DC’s t.v. domination and in the first season it’s hard not to […]

T.V. Review: Lost Girl season 1
November 16, 2019Yes, this is a series about a sexual predator and murderer, but bear with me. Bo may be a special snowflake super powered woman who can kill people with a kiss, but this series has a lot of surprising things to offer. One: Bo is succubus who feeds off people through sexual contact, but she […]
T.V. Review: Lucifer season 2
October 26, 2019Another of the best things about this series is the stability of quality. In season two Lucifer adds in new characters, Charlotte Richards (being possessed by the exiled goddess of all creation) and Ella (an off-beat forensic scientist) who both immediately become entangled with the establish crew. As Lucifer and Amenadiel try to protect the […]
T.V. Review: Lucifer Season 1
September 21, 2019I love this series so much! Based (loosely) on the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg, season one follows the disillusioned former lord of Hell as he loses, and finds himself, in the debauchery of L.A. When a friend is killed outside his club, Lucifer finds a drive to do more […]
TV Review: iZombie season 4
March 9, 2019All attempts at keeping zombies a secret are off the table in this season. Instead the zombies are exposed and Fillmore-Graves and their private zombie military take over Seattle and try to control it while outside the rest of the United States considers nuking Seattle from space. Faced with entirely new choices, Liv finds herself […]
TV Review: Teen Wolf Season 5
February 23, 2019Oh, Teen Wolf, you are such a fine example of some good being mired in some thick, bad, tired, sorry, writing muck. Last season I felt like the writers were trying to push Scott, Styles, and the OW (original werewolf) crew out. This season is even worse. No Derek at all! In this season an […]
TV Review: Teen Wolf Season 4
February 16, 2019Season 4 of Teen Wolf is a little overwhelming…if you are being nice. If you aren’t it’s chaotic and distracted. There’s a lo to like. Parrish. Scott. Styles. Malia. Even Liam and his attempts to control his new werewolf side is engaging and easy to empathize with (even if I do get the feeling that […]
TV Review: Teen Wolf season 3
January 12, 2019One of my favorite seasons, this incarnation of Teen Wolf pits True Alpha Scott and human sidekick Styles against an evil, wickedly nefarious kitsune (OMG, possessing Styles! Styles gets to go dark!) with a legion of oni-ninjas at his control. Aiden and Ethan, former bad guys trying to earn Scott’s trust, are powerful, sympathetic characters. […]

Anime Crash Course: Ouran High School Host Club
July 26, 2018Ouran High School Host Club is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek manga and anime about Haruhi Fujioka, a scholarship student at an exclusive (expensive) private school who runs into some trouble with the school host club (more or less, they guys are escorts, without actual sex, playing doting, perfect boyfriends to rich, teenaged girls.) The club forces […]
