Break-out star, supporting actor/actress, whatever you want to call it, you know it when you see it. It’s the magic created by the character who isn’t billed as the star, but most certainly has the screen presence to command any scene. Whether their ability lies in their sly humor, theirRead More →

I’ve said before that Gotham is not and never will be Mayberry. It’s no shining city on a hill. It’s an urban hellscape, a waking nightmare, a long tall glass of absinthe with an LSD chaser. But it’s still the setting of my DCTV happy place. While a few episodesRead More →

You can’t keep a good corpse down in Gotham. Especially when said corpse has a small army of assassins around ready to spill blood to bring him back. “To Our Deaths And Beyond” doesn’t hit the high notes we saw in last week’s “That’s Entertainment,” or in “Mandatory Brunch Meeting”Read More →
