The 6th and final season of FX’s Cold War era spy drama series The Americans continues with episode 4. Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) continues to train her daughter Paige (Holly Taylor) in the ways of her parents, while also running dangerous solo ops.  Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) lost his personal battle to stay out of the […]

We keep saying it but Legion remains a high point of episodic television.  It’s trippy, very psychedelic, and strangely addictive. The story of mutants and mental powers being told in the rich visceral era the original Chris Claremont X-Men stories were placed in was a genius move, and one that sets the show appart on FX from any […]

Much as we said last week, Legion remains a high point of episodic television.  It’s trippy, very psychedelic, and strangely addictive. The story of mutants and mental powers being told in the rich visceral era the original Chris Claremont X-Men stories were placed in was a genius move, and one that sets the show appart on FX from […]

FX series The Americans returned last week for the premiere of their 6th and final season, and it delivered with grandeur that’s made the series a highlight of television drama. Seamlessly blending emotionally charged scenes with songs, reveals of newfound skills, and the ultimate protective mother move made s6e1 a highlight of the series, for me […]

One of the surprise series to come with the superhero swarm of shows on tv is Legion. I say surprise because let’s be honest here, the majority of us had no idea it was going to be as amazingly trippy as it was (and is). The story of mutants and mental powers being told in the […]

Jeff Russo is a prolific composer.  I can say this because his current slate of shows across traditional television and streaming services is impressive- Altered Carbon and Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix, Legion and Fargo on FX, Lucifer on FOX, Counterpart, Bull, Powers– you get the idea. At WonderCon 2018, Jeff spoke about his influences, keeping his series(eseses) in their own universes, and how the Legion […]

FX’s cold war spy thriller series The Americans returns tonight for the premiere of their 6th and final season (*sobs). It’s been a hell of a ride for the Russian couple- raising two children, balancing their relationship and missions, and trying to change their world by preventing the Americans from launching numerous deadly attacks back home. […]

Maybe I’m slightly biased because of how much I LOVED Ex Machina, but I’ll see anything Alex Garland makes.  Annihilation was pretty great, minus the final 10 minutes, and Karl Urban has now gone on record to say that Alex “directed Dredd” (which was AMAZING), so that puts more positive tally marks in Garland’s collum. It appears his next project will […]

FX really struck gold with their Cold War spy drama The Americans. After five incredible seasons, the series was picked up for a 6th, which the cable network announced would be the final one.  Few shows are given such a grand opportunity to plan out the end, the exit, and I’m so glad this one did. […]

One of the most delightful TV surprises of 2017 was FX’s Legion, a wonderfully trippy and more Lynchian than Twin Peaks: The Return show featuring a stylish horror surrealist twist on the comic book genre. We’ve been anxiously awaiting the full trailer drop after several small teaser trailers have been scattered across the last month, and this morning […]
