The harsh reality of life is that sometimes it doesn’t go the way you plan it. Events happen that you may or may not like, and important decisions have to be made. Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) voices over in the beginning of this episode that “You can either embrace the change and move forward, or fight it and be...
The second season of CW’s “The Flash” opened up with a bang and introduced many new possibilities for the show and its universe. But with that said, the thrilling narrative of Jay Garrick, Zoom and the multiverse came to a halt in the third episode, “Family of Rogues.”
Instead of continuing the exciting story arc of the aforementioned, this episode...
“The Flash” came back with its season two premiere with solid footing while introducing a new threat, the evil speedster Zoom, for Team Flash. Now episode two, “Flash of Two Worlds” promises to bring a whole new concept to the universe “The Flash” is building.
As seen in the ending of its premiere episode, a stranger known as Jay Garrick...
Audiences got their first look at a modern, live adaptation of DC Comics’ own scarlet speedster last year with CW’s “The Flash.” With superheroes dominating movie screens in recent years from both Marvel and DC Comics, “The Flash” broke out of the vast array of superheroes to bring us one of the best live-action adaptations of a comic book...
The CW network has been on a streak of new and emerging hit shows that have brought new audiences to its television network with the emergence of action-oriented superhero-themed shows. The superhero genre that has been dominating films for the past decade or so has now made its way to the medium of television through the unfolding stories of...
Netflix has solidified itself as one of the best generators of original programming, rivalling the likes of modern powerhouses like AMC and HBO. No longer must cord-cutters leave their rooms to join their family around the hearth and watch shows together, but now we are allowed to be cooped up in our rooms and binge-watch whole shows, getting jaundiced...
Honestly, I had trouble figuring out what to say in this review. “Payback” is a low-key episode of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” one that I doubt I’ll remember in the months to come. While “Beach House” didn’t have a lot of plot, it was memorable because of its attention to character. “Payback” doesn’t have a lot of plot either, and on...
At some point in time, all TV shows feature an episode that takes the characters out of their normal environment — for example, “Mixology Certification” in the second season of “Community” and “Hunting Trip” in the second season of “Parks and Recreation.” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has attempted changing up the formula several times this season and in varying ways, but...
Before we get started dissecting “Stakeout,” it’s imperative we talk about the cold open. As the episode starts, Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) is excited to receive his medal for the Giggle Pig bust, but he’s even more excited that Madeline Wuntch (Kyra Sedwick) has to give it to him. I’m not sure how far in advance they filmed the...
“The Road Trip” is a strange episode of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” in large part because the main plot isn’t about police work. While this has happened before on the show, the non-police episodes were generally about the ensemble, and many of them were holiday-centric. “The Road Trip” takes Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy (Melissa Fumero) out of their usual environment...
