In this week’s episode of Under the Dome, the townsfolk were ready to lynch Policeman Paul for accidently shooting Policeman Buddy. If these folks were actual witnesses to the shooting surely they would know that death by dome isn’t an open and shut case. Sure Paul was stressed and shot at the dome. It was …
I don’t have many teen dramas on my watch list so if I’m tuning in to a show I expect it to bring it or at least be consistent in its storytelling. Teen Wolf brings it but Pretty Little Liars has to be one of the most frustrating teen dramas to watch. In episode five, …
We are back at Chester’s Mills for episode two of Under the Dome. In The Fire, questions from the previous week are answered, no muss no fuss! In the première episode there was talk of unusual amounts of propane arriving in Chester’s Mills. We knew there were shenanigans afoot and this week it seems to …
This is a first look at Ray Donovan the new Showtime drama that premièred on 30 June. I can say from the get-go that Ray Donovan is not a fix for Scandal addicts. Well, not this one anyway. Ray Donovan is billed as a Fixer and he does fix some ish in this first episode …
The premier of CBS’s new drama Under the Dome opens with a man digging a hole to bury a body. Then it cuts to a diner where another man is having a conversation with a waitress about elections and cars. More scene switching takes us to a cellblock where the sheriff is literally sleeping on …
Thank heavens for the Supernatural Season 8 Finale Sacrifice. If it wasn’t for this episode, I would have happily assigned all of season 8 to the land of ‘MEH!’ which is right next door to the land of ‘I think I watched it’, which is where I sent season 7 to die. I mean, come …
They say that revenge is a dish best served cold but after two seasons of ABCs Revenge television series, the truth is I think it’s time to serve it up already! Unlike procedural TV shows like NCIS and even Scandal, that can run forever, Revenge is a soapy drama which has a beginning, middle and …
The Scandal season finale White Hats Back on was a roller-coaster ride from start to finish. This episode had me feeling dizzy throughout. I felt like everything including the kitchen sink had been crammed into it yet I still have questions. Let’s start at the beginning. There was no time for explanations as the first …
This video promo has more than whetted my appetite for the Scandal season finale: White Hat’s Back On. OM fraking G! Fitzgerald Grant again with the big gestures. I still think he played Olivia but if he thinks he can run, win and wed her for reals then I’m here for that. Cyrus is laid …
Let me start off by commiserating with Olitz shippers on the events of this penultimate episode, Any Questions. You guys must know that Hallmark doesn’t make happy ever after cards for Olivia Caroline Pope. Maybe one day but not today. The episode starts out with Cyrus telling a press conference that the president’s private life is none …
Unlike last week’s episode of Scandal, Seven-fifty-two, which had me teary eyed and dog faced, this week’s episode, A Woman Scorned had me in a constant state of O. There was no MG, just O. Whilst the gladiators continue their investigation into the mole, Cyrus is running around secret tunnels like a blue assed fly. …
Spartacus: War of the Damned is the final season of the popular television series Spartacus, which follows the story of the legendary Thracian gladiator and his quest for freedom and vengeance. With its riveting storyline and memorable characters, Spartacus: War of the Damned proves to be a satisfying conclusion to the series. In War of …
With a series title like Spartacus: War of the Damned even if you don’t know history, you get the feeling some of your favourite characters would die even with an episode called Victory. Armed with that knowledge playing a drinking game would be a little crazy but I thought I’d play anyway. So for every …
What the heck Haven! The Haven season 3 finale rocked. I mean literally, with all the meteors bombarding the place at the end. This season of Haven has been the best. Well, I think every season is the best at the end of each season. But this season had some major reveals and the season finale Thanks for …
I’ve been binge-watching Doctor Who in order to catch up before Let’s Kill Hitler airs. I’m new to the reboot but I have to say I’m loving the series. As I say goodbye to my favourite Doctor played by David Tennant, I thought I’d consider the companions of Doctor Who. Who did I like best? …
Season 2, episode 4 Pathogen was an episode that highlighted the pressures that come with long distance relationships. Eli’s mother has pretty much given up on life because she misses her son so much and can’t understand why he doesn’t contact her. Camille’s partner Sharon is also suffering the effects of separation. This is understandable …
Following advice from someone I met on Twitter I decided to check out The Event. I was advised to watch the first two episodes together to get some context. Armed with that bit of information I decided to watch the first four episodes together, I figured if I don’t know what’s going on by the …
Fringe is an American science fiction television series created by J J Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. The series follows a Federal Bureau of Investigation “Fringe Division” team who encounter weird and wonderful scientific phenomena. It has a very X-Files vibe to it at first, but its take on strange phenomena is refreshing. The …

The show also stars Flash Forward’s Lee Thompson Young as Detective Barry Frost and Bruce McGill as Detective Vince Korsak. Watching the first two episodes I’m reminded …
Just discovered White Collar a few weeks ago so of course, I had to get season one before I could even watch season two. I have to have all the back-story otherwise, I can’t enjoy a show to its full potential. White Collar is about classy criminal mastermind Neal Caffrey who has been eluding FBI …

Okay. I finally watched the Lost The End, series finale. I was a bit pissed at myself for not waking up at 5am and watching it with the rest of the world but, I’m over it. I’ve moved on. Unlike others I actually did understand the ending, and I do know that Christian did not …
