The Boys - Cherry television review

The second episode of The Boys deals with the fallout of the previous episodes as Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Butcher (Karl Urban) are left with an invisible and indestructible hero (Alex Hassell) on their hands. Enlisting the help of an old friend (Tomer Capon) the duo becomes a trio and looks for ways to properly dispose of the hero before he can escape or one of his friends comes looking for him. The culmination of this plot thread firmly establishes Hughie on a new path. A bit more focused than the first episode (other than a questionable subplot involving the blackmail of a senator), the show continue to revel in its depravity as Hughie’s fall to the level of Butcher and the heroes he blames for his girlfriend’s death is complete.

Batman - The Bookworm Turns / While Gotham City Burns TV review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the 1966 Batman TV-series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. Roddy McDowall guest-stars as the Bookworm who enjoys running the Dynamic Duo ragged with odd clues, misdirection (including faking the death of Commissioner Gordon), and literary references while his true goal is to get his hands on the Batmobile in order to steal priceless books from the library vault. While an odd villain, with some pretty lame henchmen, McDowall is obviously enjoying his time with the role and Francine York steals a scene or two as the member of the gang left to try and misdirect Batman. (Although the plan fails, it does allow for the capture of the Boy Wonder.)

Street Hawk - A Second Self television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back in time to when a motorcycle cop turned vigilante helped keep the streets of Los Angeles safe on an experimental bike known as Street Hawk. The show’s second episode guest-stars George Clooney as Jesse’s (Rex Smith) old racing buddy Kevin Stark. While Norman Tuttle (Joe Regalbuto) can see the obvious bond between the former racers, he’s not too happy with the competitive nature Stark brings out in Jesse (or the reckless abandon Stark takes to win a private race between the pair). At the same time the head of auto theft ring (Robert Lipton) who blames Street Hawk for the death of his brother, reaches outside the state for a driver capable of helping take down the vigilante once and for all.
