The Strain Preview: “Bad White” 

[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] Tonight on The Strain, we catch up with Dutch and her old hacker posse (which includes Christopher Jacot, who you might recognize from Chiller’s Slasher this spring or his Hallmark Channel movies) while Eph locates Setrakian–and sizes up his alliance with Quinlan–with perhaps less-than-honorable intentions, and Palmer keeps chasing...

First Look: The Strain Season 3 

[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] We’re a week out from The Strain‘s third season premiere, with a  later premiere than normal due to the Olympics. I’ve missed it this summer, after it snuck up on me as appointment TV, so I’m very glad it’s finally back. The one asterisk is that we’ll...

Penny Dreadful Preview: “No Beast So Fierce” 

[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] With only four episodes left this season, Penny Dreadful moves into hyper-speed with an hour that updates all of our core arcs, and admirably does so without feeling like it’s overlong. It’s nice to have the balance after the last couple of installments kept the plotting...
