A lot can change in three years. Back in 2013, when House of Cards launched, the very idea of a show streaming on Netflix, with all episodes erupting from the floodgates at once, seemed singularly odd. It's hard to even get into that headspace in 2016. The service, for better or worse, has given its users a Pavlovian response to the consumption of its top-shelf programming: binge it soon, binge it fast, and get in on the conversation before it ends.
He might be three years into his retirement, but Steven Soderbergh isn't letting that slow him down. The director is apparently now in talks with screenwriter Scott Frank and streaming giant Netflix on a new Western series called Godless.
As Agent Carter winds down, the midseason premiere of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is set to give fans glimpses into "a new world order," following the events of last year's finale. In the episode "Bouncing Back," Coulson becomes more determined than ever to end Gideon Malick and Hydra once and for all.
Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and... George Washington? If director Zack Synder keeps to his current career path, he'll be adapting the story of the first president of the United States after he gets done playing around in DC's superhero sandbox.
Can anyone on a superhero show stay dead? Not if The CW has anything to say about it, apparently. Although this is a bit of a stretch, a few pics posted on Instagram by actors Ciara Renee and Falk Hentschel -- who play Hawkgirl and Hawkman on DC's Legends of Tomorrow -- seem to be teasing the possibility of Hentschel's return to the time-traveling show.
The future isn't looking too bright for Peggy and her pals at the SSR. Following last night's season finale, "Hollywood Ending," Marvel's Agent Carter saw 2.37 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating overnight for the episode. That doesn't yet factor in DVR playback, but it does tie with the series' lowest ratings yet.
We have reached peak Game of Thrones secrecy. Earlier today, HBO confirmed that it will not be sending out any advanced screeners of the much-talked-about sixth season of Game of Thrones to anyone, "anywhere in the world." The company -- and co-creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss -- are trying to avoid an incident last year where screeners leaked online and got traction on various blogging sites.
Those craving even more Fuller-Tanner-Gibbler action have a lot to celebrate today, since Netflix just confirmed the Full House sequel series Fuller House will be coming back for more in a second season. The company didn't say much, only confirming the news in a 10-second Twitter video that concludes with a vague "coming soon" launch date.
I like bad TV. It goes back to the sweltering summers of my childhood where my sister and I were relegated to indoor activities due to parental fear of child-onset, hyperactive spontaneous combustion (and, I guess, a harsh overexposure to the Louisiana sun). We’d marathon TLC’s Trading Spaces and, during commercials, check in on whatever the hell the Zoogs were doing on The Disney Channel. I was barely out of the single digit age bracket, so I had a pretty good excuse for believing that Paige Davis was the cornerstone of television comedy.
Some of the mysteries behind The Family pique interest, but the overarching story mostly drags and befuddles due to the show's clinical, generic execution, something that detaches you from the Warren's drama when it should be sucking you in.
