Superheroes on TV: Time
There are few, if any, constants in the realm of superheroes. Costumes change, backstories are reconstructed, rebirths and new teams linger at the onset of each new decade, yet perhaps the most fickle of all is time itself. We’re winding down seasons, inching ever closer to inevitable cliffhangers, which makes…
The World is Safe…For Now, Arrow “Monument Point”
Lyla: The President asked me if the fate of the world is resting on an IT girl, a criminal and two guys in Halloween costumes. Oliver: They’re not Halloween costumes. They may not be Halloween costumes, but that doesn’t make POTUS wrong! This was my favorite line of the night,…
Superheroes on TV: Predictability
I have the utmost respect for characters who mean what they say and follow through on their promises. While predictability may be frowned upon in the traditional sense, few things are more rewarding than someone who can pull the trigger when the moment calls for it. This week’s Superheros on…
Three Questions Answered, Arrow “Genesis”
Light and dark. Destruction and new worlds. This episode brought us a lot of contrasts and while it mostly set the scene for what’s to come in the final few episodes of Season 4, it also gave us some answers to long-standing questions about magic, brotherhood and villainous end games. So…
Superheroes on TV: Redemption
It’s human nature to want to see the good in people; and oftentimes that becomes even more clouded when blood relatives are involved. But at what point do we accept people for who they are, not what they are to us? This week’s Superheroes on TV column takes a look…
We Find Out Who’s In The Grave, Arrow “Eleven Fifty-Nine”
So apparently when you know a shocking death is on the horizon, nothing is really that shocking. I admit that I spent the whole episode watching for signs of who was going to be the epic and oft-referenced Season 4 death. At one point, I was thinking it was Diggle. At…
Curtis Holt Brings Some Much Needed Lightness, Arrow “Beacon Of Hope”
I have to start by saying that Brie Larvan is by far one of my least favorite Arrow villains. While I’m sure the bee-puns are super fun to write, they are far less fun to listen to and are annoying the beee-jeezus out of me (sorry, I had to). That…
Superheroes on TV: Good Intentions
After our own week-long hiatus, we’re back with another Superheroes on TV column! This week, we’re catching up on The Flash and Arrow as our main characters learn just how dangerous good intentions can be. Good intentions almost always stem from a place of love. We see it on The…
Arrow “Broken Hearts”
Love is dead. Well, maybe not love, but the relationship between Oliver and Felicity certainly is. At least for now. Despite a heartfelt fake marriage vow from Oliver and a life-saving “love is grand” speech from Felicity, Felicity stood her ground and made it clear that done means done. But…
Superheroes on TV: Continuity and Representation
One of my favorite things about the Arrowverse is how it has put a new twist on the familiar. We’ve seen it in character creation like John Diggle and Felicity Smoak, and in making the world more diverse. For example, Joe, Iris, and Wally West are African-American (and Jimmy Olsen,…
Thank Me Later: Will Trent
[Warning: spoilers ahead.] I’m on record as loving and losing shows over at ABC so I’m usually very reticent to pick something up on the network until it’s been renewed, and I seriously hope I’m not jinxing it, but I took a chance on the deeply odd and very sweet…
Dennis Heaton Talks The Imperfects
Longtime readers at TV Goodness will know that Motive is one of my ride-or-die series, and as such, I am fiercely loyal to its creator, Dennis Heaton. He followed up that fantastic reverse procedural with Netflix’s The Order and is back on our streaming screens with The Imperfects, which dropped…

John Griffin and Harold Perrineau Talk From on EPIX Season 1 Finale
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] How are we doing, #FROMily? In case you missed it this morning, the very good news is that that cliffhanger will be followed by a second season, which was gifted this morning ahead of the linear broadcast of the finale. I always legitimately appreciate when we…
Elizabeth Saunders Talks EPIX’s From

Shaun Majumder Talks From “Book 74”
[Warning: Spoilers for tonight’s episode.] Tonight on EPIX’s From, Father Khatri made a bold move, kidnapping Sara instead of turning her in, and then recognizing her as a vessel for some big messages. That startling realization speaks to him on multiple levels–as a man of faith, a man trapped in…
Avery Konrad Talks About Sara’s Struggle in From “Silhouettes”
[Warning: Spoilers for tonight’s episode.] Over the course of the season so far on From, we’ve witnessed Sara’s battle against the voices telling her to to do terrible things, and tonight we saw her unravel further, threatening the Matthews and lashing out in a moment of terror with horrifying results….

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”
Who can you trust? If this episode of The Catch was any indication, the answer is just about nobody. Betrayal was running rampant as Felicity (Shivani Ghai) arose from the dead to seduce-con Margot, Gretchen (Maria Thayer, Gotham, The Mindy Project) played gold-hearted Alice 2.0 before swindling Ethan, Tessa jumped…

Oh, Supergirl. That ending was cold. But I can’t hate on you because the latest episode has quickly become one of my favorites.
What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
Supernatural episodes are almost always funny but thanks to the dialogue and a certain man speaking said dialogue, I laughed a lot during “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” You know, when I wasn’t busy fearing for Sam’s life or wondering what in the world was going on with Dean and…
What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”
Two nights of Arrow + The Flash = what more could we ask for?! I don’t know what it is about blending these shows, but I can’t help but feel that every time they come together, they somehow become greater than the sum of their parts. And that’s saying a lot…
What they Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Graceland “Little Bo Bleep”
Shoot outs. Fake outs. And long-awaited revelations. “Little Bo Bleep” was a jam-packed episode that wrapped up some loose ends and totally frayed others. Â It finally gave us one Sarkissian in jail and pulled back the curtain on Briggs’ master plan, but it also set up Jakes for a world…
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Poldark “Part 4”
“What have I told you, I don’t require my wife to crochet and sip tea, but I do require her to remember she’s not a beast of burden.†No, I’m not talking about The Rolling Stones! I have to admit though, just for a second, the lyrics popped into my…
