Scorpion - Sharknerdo television review

Taking on a job on the high seas in search of sunken treasure leads to Walter (Elyes Gabel) and Paige (Katharine McPhee) becoming stranded on wreckage after their boat explodes leaving them at the mercy of the ocean. Oh, and then the sharks show up. With the help of Sylvester (Ari Stidham) and Happy (Jadyn Wong) working from home, Cabe (Robert Patrick) and Toby (Eddie Kaye Thomas) are able to find the stranded sailors, but with boat issues of their own and a frenzy of sharks attacking their stranded friends, the rescue just became far more complicated.

A Series of Unfortunate Events - The Miserable Mill television review

The two-part season finale offers a slight change to the proceedings but doesn’t stray too far from the formula we’ve seen in previous episodes. The only difference this time is that the Violet (Malina Weissman), Klaus (Louis Hynes), and baby Sunny choose their latest location as they are put to work in the Lucky Strikes Lumber Mill where they hope to learn information about their parents. And, once again Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris) shows up in yet another ridiculous disguise hoping to get his hands on the children and their fortune. In the show’s biggest twist, we also see the the fate of Will Arnett and Cobie Smulders who are revealed not to be the Baudelaire’s parents, but part of the same mysterious society and those of another group of unfortunate children who should cross the paths of the Baudelaires next season.

Emerald City - Beautiful Wickedness television review

“Beautiful Wickedness” begins to fill us in on the backstory of the Wizard (Vincent D’Onofrio) as current events push Oz closer to war. In flashbacks we see the events which brought the Wizard and the two scientists (Gina McKee, Gina Bellman) to Oz all those years ago. Through the help of West (Ana Ularu) we also learn more about Lucas (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and the wagon full of young witches he was transporting to Glinda (Joely Richardson), suggesting that the good witch is equally deceptive and tarnished in this morally ambiguous version of Oz.

Powerless - Wayne or Lose television review

I know what you’re going go say. Another super-hero show? Yes, but this one is more super-hero adjacent. With iZombie still on hiatus, our current run of super-hero TV has had a decidedly lacking in fun and whimsy in favor of darker storylines (with the exception of the almost always optimistic Supergirl). More office comedy than true super-hero fare, NBC taps into an unexplored part of the super-hero universe – the regular people. In a world beset with super-villains and their constant destruction, somebody has to look out for the average Joe. For the citizens of Charm City that company is Wayne Security (the less-known subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises).
