The Boys Season 2 Debuts Hilariously Violent New Trailer

New DVD release, , , ,
Say what you will about Amazon Prime’s The Boys, but it knows how to give the people what they want. And in the case of season 2’s first full trailer, that means breathtaking, near cartoonish levels of violence. Give the two-minute clip a look below to see what we mean. That is…uh, a lot of brains crushed by super-powered fists. Scoring the whole thing to Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” was a shrewd choice as well but it kind of works.  The Boys season 2 is set to premiere on September 4, 2020. As evidenced by that teaser,…

Dead to Me Season 3 Confirmed

New DVD release,
In a world craving consistency it’s nice to know that some things will never change. That’s right: Netflix has gone “three and out” with another one of its original series. Netflix has ordered Dead to Me for season 3. And sure enough, season 3 will be the final go-around for the star-studded dark comedy. Dead to Me season 3 won’t mark the conclusion of Netflix’s relationship with creator and showrunner Liz Feldman, however. As part of the announcement, the streamer revealed that it has formed a multi-year partnership with Feldman to develop original series and other projects.  “Liz Feldman is…

Stargirl Season 2 Confirmed, Leaving DC Universe for CW

New DVD release, , , ,
Well, this is certainly a weird caveat to have to accompany a renewal announcement. DC’s Stargirl season 2 is officially a go. This is great news. But the other piece of this news may not land as well for fans of the DC Universe streaming service, as the show will leave DC Universe to air exclusively on the CW beginning with its second season. Under the current model, new episodes of Stargirl premiere on DC Universe on Mondays before airing (in lightly edited form) on The CW on Tuesday nights. Variety reports that Stargirl’s ratings on Tuesday nights are consistent…

NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 3 Review: The Night Road

New DVD release, , , ,
This NOS4A2 review contains spoilers. NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 3 One thing that NOS4A2 did between seasons is tinker with its special effects. For whatever reason, Charlie Manx as an old man looks a little better than he did the previous season (and the exaggerated widow’s peak he had when he was young Charlie has been eliminated, too). All across the board, it seems, the special effects seem to be coming across the screen better, from the blood and guts of previous episodes to things like the scarred-up ghost living in the Manx house on the outskirts of the Manx…

Cassidy Diamond is Search Party Season 3’s Vocal Fry Queen

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The following contains spoilers for Search Party season 3.  Search Party season 3 finds its core characters in a place they probably expected to be ever since the violent events of the show’s first season finale: on trial for their lives. Yes, after a tragic case of mistaken intentions winds up with Keith (Ron Livingston) dead, Dory Sief (Alia Shawkat) and Drew Gardner (John Reynolds) finally end up in court on murder charges. Dory, Drew, and their friends Elliott Goss (John Early) and Portia Davenport (Meredeith Hagner) need a legal savior. They need…Cassidy Diamond. As portrayed by Shalita Grant (Santa…

Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 4 Review: Sex Patrol

New DVD release, , ,
This Doom Patrol review contains spoilers. Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 4 The theme of families is a constant one in Doom Patrol, but this week the show leans heavily into the notion that our loved ones, especially parents, are the reason we’re all so screwed up. In a 1960s flashback, we see Danny The Street (and not yet a brick) and Niles trying to protect Dorothy by keeping her separated from the world. But they effectively treat her like a prisoner, a choice that is certain to haunt them as Candlemaker appears to be growing in strength. Meanwhile, Rita’s…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 6 Trailer and Release Date

New DVD release, , , , ,
Although its future was often in doubt season to season, Agents of SHIELD season 7 was a sure thing right from the start as ABC renewed the series for two shortened seasons shortly after the end of season five. With the introduction of another time travel storyline — this time to past — the fact that season 7 will be the show’s final run introduces interesting possibilities for coming full circle with the origins of the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. Here’s what’s going on with Agents of SHIELD season 7 so far… Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 7 Trailer & Release Date…

Hanna Season 2 Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This Hanna article contains MAJOR spoilers for the end of Season 2. There’s nothing quite like Amazon spy drama Hanna on TV right now. It is reminiscent of great spy shows of yesteryear—The CW’s vastly underrated Nikita, comes to mind—but with a budget and sense of cinematic style that sets it apart from similarly-themed series that have come before. Season 2 is arguably a stronger season than the first outing of this feature-to-series adaptation, widening the scope of the world by making protagonist Hanna one of an ensemble rather than so closely hewing to her coming-of-age perspective. But, like its…

Hanna Season 3: What Happens Next?

New DVD release, ,
While we may not have any official word yet on if Hanna, Amazon’s stellar spy series, will be getting a third season, we think it deserves one. This show started good and has only gotten better, expanding its sense of scope in Season 2 to make it more of an ensemble thriller than it was in its first season, while still giving us the next chapter of Hanna’s story. Den of Geek had the chance to talk to some of the Hanna cast members ahead of the Season 2 release to see what they would like to see for their…

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 10 Review: You Might Also Like

New DVD release, , , ,
This The Twilight Zone review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 10 The Twilight Zone was always a little bit hokey and that is a part of its charm. It was often stylized, sometimes funny, frequently heightened and not always realistic. We can’t criticize it for that. But season 2 episode 10 ‘You Might Also Like’ is a melee of all of the above in ways that largely speaking don’t work at all; the humor doesn’t land, the story requires Bond-villain-style exposition for it to even make sense and the satire is heavy handed and mean spirited. A…

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 8 Review: A Small Town

New DVD release, , , ,
This THE TWILIGHT ZONE review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 8 In my spoiler-free review of Season 2 of the new Twilight Zone, I touched upon how the new iteration of the show struggles with delivering lessons. The original Twilight Zone stories were frequently morality plays, with deep themes that commented on current or evergreen societal issues, often in unexpected ways that packed a punch. The 2020 version of the series still attempts to warn viewers against the evils of being shallow or being careful what you wish for, but it never quite says anything deeper about our current…

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 9 Review: Try, Try

New DVD release, , ,
This The Twilight Zone review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 9 Time loops are awesome. Time loops are usually your favorite episode of any given sci-fi show, or, in the case of Russian Doll, the premise of a great sci-fi show. That said, because of the circular nature of time loops, it’s hard to do something new with time loops. In the penultimate episode of season 2 of the new Twilight Zone,  writer Alex Rubens tries—and mostly succeeds—in giving a new edge to a time loop story. In “Try, Try” the Zone presents a spin on the…

The 100 Season 7: How is Clarke The Key?

New DVD release,
This THE 100 article contains major spoilers for Season 7, Episode 7. While Clarke was only in this week’s episode of The 100 for an emotionally-devastating minute at the end, her presence strongly bookended the portion of “The Queen’s Gambit” that was set on Bardo. At the start of the episode, Gabriel—who panicked and turned in himself and his fellow jailbreakers Echo and Hope, plus Octavia and Diyoza—decides to take Anders’ deal and work for Bardo’s Disciples in trying to decipher the secrets of the Anomaly Stone. While much of the Stone is a mystery, they do know about the existence of…

The 100 Season 7: Bill Cadogan & Second Dawn Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This The 100 article contains major spoilers for Season 7, Episode 7. How the hell is Bill Cadogan on Bardo, you and Clarke (in the promo for next week’s The 100 prequel series backdoor pilot) may ask? Well, it’s no doubt a long story that we shall be told in next week’s episode, but it seems to involve a cryopod, the Disciples, and a trip through the Anomaly. But before we launch into theories around that, a quick recap: Who is William “Bill” Cadogan again? Who is Bill Cadogan? “From the ashes, through the Bridge, the shepherd will rise.” Bill…

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 7 Review: A Human Face

New DVD release, , , ,
This TWILIGHT ZONE review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 7 It may be the fact that 2020 is a better episode of The Twilight Zone than any writer could ever conceive of, or that we’re living in an actual dystopian nightmare, or that we’ve seen enough real-life monsters to be desensitized to them when we see them on our screens, that makes “A Human Face” feel so aggressively meh. Sure, we haven’t had a cosmic event and alien visitors chewing on our furniture —yet— but certainly, if it were to occur, it wouldn’t be the weirdest thing…

The Crown Season 5: Lesley Manville Cast as Princess Margaret

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
Casting news for Netflix’s The Crown feels as though it should be heralded by a ceremonial trumpet flourish, or at the very least handwritten in expensive ink on thick card sitting on a silver tray borne aloft by a white gloved hand. Instead they just do it on Twitter: Lesley Manville will play Princess Margaret in the fifth season of The Crown. pic.twitter.com/R5aZEBOW0t— The Crown (@TheCrownNetflix) July 2, 2020 More efficient, yes, but it does lack pomp. However delivered, the news is good. The so-far impeccable casting of the Princess Margaret role in The Crown, previously played by Vanessa Kirby…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 6 Review: Adapt or Die

New DVD release, , , , ,
This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 6 Failure is such a powerful narrative tool, mostly because viewers don’t expect things to go so spectacularly wrong even when the heroes are technically winning. Such is the case with this week’s Agents of SHIELD which has Daisy barely escaping with her life and Coulson sacrificing himself, achieving measures of success indirectly despite heavy losses. Even Mack foiling the Chronicom’s infiltration by jettisoning his fake parents is a victory of sorts even though the supposed rescue mission itself was an obvious bust. Such stories make…

The 100 Season 7 Episode 7 Review: The Queen’s Gambit

New DVD release, , , ,
This THE 100 review contains spoilers The 100 Season 7 Episode 7 Lindsey Morgan (who plays Raven Rayes) directed a crackling episode of The 100 that treats us to a heaping pile of wonderful character moments and more mysteries than you can shake a stick at. Sheidheda continues to prove why he had a reputation as a master strategist and Emori comes into her own as a leader on Sanctum while Murphy struggles with the opposite impulse. Meanwhile, some of the most formidable women on the show found themselves imprisoned on Bardo, and Jackson helped Madi lay down her burden as Commander…

The 100 Season 7 Sneak Peek: Anders Offers Gabriel A Job

New DVD release, , , ,
The final season of The 100 has been a smorgasbord of science fiction storytelling centered around the exploration of an interplanetary transit system known as The Anomaly (or The Bridge). A group of planet Bardo-based people called The Disciples organize their society around The Anomaly, and don’t take kindly to anyone who gets in their way. In tonight’s episode, “The Queen’s Gambit,” we learn a bit more about The Disciples’ relationship to The Anomaly and to the Anomaly Stones that act as gateways to it. Den of Geek has an exclusive sneak peek into the episode… “We don’t believe in…
