Next - FILE #1 television review

The opening episode of Next brings together FBI Agent Shea Salazar (Fernanda Andrade) and brilliant but disgraced tech billionaire Paul LeBlanc (John Slattery). She’d rather be finishing a case her team has worked on for the past year. He’d rather be doing almost anything else. However, the suspicious death of Salazar’s mentor (John Billingsley) makes LeBlanc believe his former company has dusted off an Artificial Intelligence project he destroyed his reputation to keep under wraps. Branded as “Next,” LeBlanc believes it took deadly action in attempts to keep its existence a secret.

Carmen Sandiego - The Luchadora Tango Caper television review

After months of laying low and falling off the radar of both V.I.L.E. and A.C.M.E., Carmen (Gina Rodriguez) reappears looking for clues to her mother’s identity by breaking into her father’s safety deposit box in Buenos Aires. Her search leads her to Veracruz, Mexico, where she encounters a female luchador with the right name (and fighting spirit) but no familial connection. After the destruction of their facility, V.I.L.E. has relocated to the highlands of Scotland. News of Carmen resurfacing pushes Coach Brunt (Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) into the field – despite the objections of the others. Carmen also tangles with some of the academy’s latest graduates in Spin Kick (Dante Basco) and Fly Trap (Sarah-Nicole Robles). The luchador angle adds some goofy wrestling fun to the premiere that otherwise isn’t all that notable.

Utopia - Life Begins television review

The first episode of Utopia introduces us to an underground comic book that has become a bit of a cult classic to a small group. While some of comic’s champions love the art and character, those aren’t who this story is about. This story is about those that believe the comic hold some knowledge of the future, premonitions about the future, and predictions of death. Years after the comic disappeared the original artwork for the never released follow-up surfaces leading to trek to a local comic convention for our oddball group of intense fans Wilson Wilson (Desmin Borges), Ian (Dan Byrd), Becky (Ashleigh LaThrop), Samantha (Jessica Rothe), and Grant (Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton) who up until now have only met online. They aren’t the only ones after the comic, along with other fans there are a pair of fixers (Christopher Denham and Michael B. Woods) out to retrieve the comic and remove any trace of it, and a woman who may or may not be the comic’s main character (Sasha Lane).
