American Dad! Season 12 Premiere Review

In an unconventional move, TBS put the very first episode of American Dad! they'll air on YouTube last night, but with a major catch; it'll only be available for 48 hours. So be sure to check it out! Now, on with the review!

Star Wars: Rebels Review

Sometimes, the original Star Wars movies strike me as some of the most underrated features in Hollywood. Now, that may sound ridiculous considering the massive pop culture impact those three movies had, but that kind of influence can make people forget that, beyond all the cool toys, video games, clothes, TV shows, three excellent films started  this whole mammoth franchise. Rewatching the original trilogy over the course of the past two weeks not only reminded me of how incredible those movies are, but it also put me in the perfect mindset to take in the first Star Wars project released from Disney, Star Wars: Rebels.

Agents of SHIELD (S2E2) Review: Expand Your Horizons

A promising season premiere last week has led to a surprisingly successful second episode that may just be my favorite episode of this show so far. Focusing on characters for much of the episode turned out to be a smart choice, since this approach manages to rectify one of my complaints with last weeks episode, which was that the new characters on the show didn't get much development. Luckily, that changes this week with the newest additions to the show getting some time to shine in this episode.

Transparent (S1E1) Review

I find the world of streaming television endlessly fascinating. Ever since Netflix tore down all preconceived notions of how we consume television with House of Cards in February 2013, tons and tons of people have jumped into this lucrative market. PlayStation is having it's first TV Show, Powers, debuting in December. Yahoo! Screen has Community in 2015. Amazon has actually been in this streaming TV game for a while now, but Transparent is the first show that really makes me think they've got something truly special here.

Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Premiere Review

Note: This review contains mild spoilers for last nights episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The more that last nights hour long venture into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is thought about in my noggin, the more I realize that I really enjoyed it. It's got some shortcomings, but this particular story is such a change from many of last seasons episodes in its confidence, fun and dark story turns. The agents in Agents of SHIELD may have untold problems to face, but dealing with a lackluster episode certainly isn't one of them.

Gotham (Series Premiere) Review

The mythology of Batman is so large at this point that to come at it with a new idea is almost impossible. Gotham isn't entirely original, but it does at least give us a perspective on the madcap world of The Caped Crusader that isn't usually given a lot of thought in comics, films or other storytelling mediums. It tells of a time before Batman, what was Gotham? What was the city and the people that lived in it like?
