Ash vs Evil Dead Episode 1 recap: “El Jefe”

October 31, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Happy Halloween, and welcome to our first Ash vs Evil Dead recap. Ash is back, baby! Director Sam Raimi kicked off the series Ash vs Evil Dead in fine form, with his legendary manic camerawork, some references to the Evil Dead films, and plenty of the humor (particularly from Bruce Campbell’s performance) and gore that we’ve come to know and love from the cult classic films. When I talked with Campbell earlier this summer on the set of Ash vs Evil Dead, he told me that the decision to make the series a half-hour one was “in order to keep […]

“A big jolly splatterfest” — Talking “Ash vs Evil Dead” with Bruce Campbell and Lucy Lawless

October 30, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

It was just past the first day of winter in New Zealand when I arrived at a location called Riverhead, just outside of Auckland, to begin watching the filming of the new Starz series Ash vs Evil Dead, which airs Saturdays beginning Oct. 31. Coming from the northern U.S., I didn’t find the weather to be quite what I was used to as “winter.” It was very pleasant: sunny, temps in the high 50s, low 60s Fahrenheit. The nice climate added to the loveliness of the filming location, a scenic pine forest. As a fan of the original Evil Dead […]

Recap: Fargo Season 2, Episode 3 – Tie-ing Up Loose Ends

October 26, 2015 Rachel Cericola

Last week on Fargo, we got a better peek at the Kansas City mafia, Hank ruffled the Kitchen Brothers, Peggy showed her “bad girl” side and Ed made mincemeat out of Rye — literally. This week, the body count is stacking up and things are getting sort of tense. Well, Dodd (Jeffrey Donovan, Burn Notice) is getting tense. I don’t think he has the capability to not be tense. But I digress. Ready to jump right into Season 2’s third episode? Okay then! The episode starts with a shot of Hanzee (Zahn McClarnon, Longmire) in the middle of the snowy […]

The City of Angels Is Hardly Angelic in ABC’s Wicked City

October 22, 2015 StayTuned Staff

L.A.’s Sunset Strip was where people went to see and be seen in the early 1980s — but the glitz and glamour had a dark side, which is the backdrop for the first season of ABC’s gritty new crime anthology, Wicked City. The series will focus on a new case in a different era each season, but will remain in L.A., “a place where people are slightly blinded by their own ambition [which] makes for an easier world for nefarious characters to operate within,” explains Jeremy Sisto (Suburgatory), who plays detective Jack Roth on the series. Season 1 revolves around […]

Supergirl on CBS — Melissa Benoist soars as Greg Berlanti’s latest TV superhero

October 17, 2015 Lori Acken

Arguably, I’m too old and much too fond of PBS to even notice the new CBS dramedy Supergirl. I like Supergirl anyway. I like it a lot. Much of the credit goes to series star Melissa Benoist, who calls upon the same sweet-meets-steely spunk she displayed as Glee’s cheerleader target Marley Rose to play Superman’s equally gifted cousin Kara Zor-El. Yeah, I was probably too old for Glee, too, but I love a good tale about “odd women out” who find their own power — be it in a high-school auditorium or on another planet. And I love that co-executive producer Greg Berlanti (also the […]

Recap: Blindspot Season 1, Episode 4 – Love is in the Airborne

October 12, 2015 Rachel Cericola

If you were confused by last week’s episode of Blindspot, get ready. Everything you thought you knew about this show just got a serious shake-up. However, we do get a pair of villains that can cause damage way beyond just a few city blocks. • Blindspot Season 1 Recaps: Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3 The focus of episode 4, “Bone May Rot,” is the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The show kicks off with a scene inside the lab from two years back, where a guy named Walter ends both up infected and dead. Of course, his […]

Recap: Fargo Season 2, Episode 1 – Back in Time

October 12, 2015 Rachel Cericola

After a nail-biting, must-see debut season, Fargo is back on FX. Unlike True Detective, Fargo fans shouldn’t fret about this new installment. Season 2 is looking to be equally as addictive, don’t cha know. The first episode, “Waiting for Dutch,” opens with a snippet of the black-and-white film Massacre at Sioux Falls, starring Ronald Reagan (who should be showing up at some point looking a lot like Bruce Campbell). He’s not in the clip, though. Instead, it’s a conversation between an actor and maybe the director. It doesn’t really matter who they are because the landscape is way more interesting. […]

The Knick Season 2 — Steven Soderbergh’s medical marvel returns to Cinemax

October 9, 2015 Lori Acken

If you’re a fan of director Steven Soderbergh’s beautifully rendered, Emmy-nominated period drama The Knick (and if you’re not, trust me, you should be), you know that no one was faring well when we left them at the end of Season 1. • RELATED: The Knick: Cinemax presents a lively look at race, sex and medicine in 1900s New York A cocaine-addled and guilt-ridden Dr. John Thackery (Golden Globe nominee Clive Owen) checked himself into a sort of turn-of-the-century rehab where the treatment du jour is the Bayer Company’s newest wonder drug — heroin. Embittered by his daughter’s death, the mortifying […]
