Arrow will be the only new primetime addition to TV2’s schedule in the first week of February. It will also be premiering the comedy, One Big Happy, but in a late-night slot (11.45 Wednesday). Where are the Wednesday sitcoms, the Monday night dramas, the Sunday entertainment shows? Don’t expect to see these return to the […]

“Surely there can be no doubt that recommitting to Heroes requires a leap of faith, considering how the show’s original run famously imploded after its first season — losing track of its characters and its story and plummeting through incoherence into irrelevance. Still, the buzz-generating energy of that first 2006 season lingers, enough to cause NBC and creator Tim […]

The Last Ship: The Complete First Season “This show’s 1.78:1 1080p picture quality is absolutely splendid. With a pretty effective mix of practical effects and CGI, detail rarely falters during the big ‘Wow!’ shots of the ship, or during tight quarters combat sequences. Colours are bright and beautiful – especially the colour blue considering the numerous […]
