Superheroes on TV: Inclusion
I’ve mentioned before that I love what DC is doing with representation in their shared universe. I’d even go as far as to call shows like Supergirl, Arrow, and especially The Flash progressive in their portrayal of race and sexual orientation. We have yet to see an instance of in-show…
Superheroes on TV: Anti-Heroes
On this week’s Superheroes on TV column, we take a look at anti-heroes with DC outlier, Lucifer, and we’ll also explore Captain Cold and his reluctant good guy streak on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Lucifer Morningstar is actually gaining some humanity; something that irks him greatly. However, his carefully constructed…
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,…
Magic, Science and 4 Possible Game-Changers, Arrow “Taken”
Magic totems. Animal channeling. And a ghostly gatekeeper. This episode may have been filled with far-fetched whimsy, but it also brought us some very real story lines. Oliver grappled with the realities of parenthood. Thea was finally forced to see the truth. Darhk lost the upper-hand. And Felicity’s life took…
EXCLUSIVE IZombie Preview: “Eternal Sunshine of the Caffeinated Mind”
Last week’s episode of the CW’s iZombie offered up a brained up Liv that was a pathological liar. It also featured an epic Les Mis moment that ended with the discovery of the stashed Utopium, which will hopefully lead Ravi to brew up some more of the cure that’ll keep…
Superheroes on TV: Villains
There’s something to be said for a good bad-guy. Someone so dastardly and twisted a character that they really push a protagonist to their limits. Without a good villain, it’s hard to have a great hero. The Flash seems to be the exception to this rule (the TV series at…
Secrets Weigh Heavy, Arrow “Code of Silence”
Secret keeping. It’s always been an issue for the characters of this show and pretty much everyone has done it. I guess it just comes with the territory when you’re suiting up and saving lives as a vigilante. But that doesn’t mean it always comes easy to them. Or that it’s always…
Superheroes on TV: Family Matters
Even heroes need a hero. Whether it’s blood relatives, or the family you choose on the road of life, these bonds are what can make our superheroes better. This week, we take a closer look at Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow as they all explore how…
Betrayal Comes From All Sides, Arrow “Sins of the Father”
Talk about an episode filled with betrayal! This week may have been about the “Sins of the father,” but when it came down to back-stabbing, side-stepping and throwing people under the bus, it seems like everyone got on board. Obviously, the greatest offender was Malcolm Merlyn as he feigned handing…
Superheroes on TV: Life in the Arrowverse
It’s a great time to be a superhero fan! By my count, there are 14 current series based on comics, and another 37 (potentially) on the way. These series spread across all manner of platforms, from big names on major networks; to rating behemoths on basic cable; streaming on Netflix…

[Warning: Spoilers for Carrot Cake Murder.] Everybody OK after that Hannah Swensen Mystery twist?

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…

Elizabeth Saunders Talks From

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.

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…
