Silk Stalkings - Men Seeking Women television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the unsolved crimes of passion in the wealthy playground of Palm Beach, Florida. The death of a young woman connects to other unsolved cases and alerts Chris (Rob Estes) and Rita (Mitzi Kapture) to a sexual predator and serial killer in their midst. Comparing the lives of the victim alerts the detectives to one commonality which informs them how the killer is choosing his victims – through a local magazine’s personal ads. Along with the return of Kim Morgan Greene as psychiatrist Melissa Cassidy who helps Chris on a profile for their killer, “Men Seeking Women” also introduces Kelly Garrison as an old flame, and potential love interest, for Chris (who is very interested in picking up where they left off… but just can’t come to terms with her new part-time job as a stripper.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan - Pilot television review

In Amazon’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, John Krasinski becomes the latest actor to step into the shoes of Tom Clancy’s most famous character. The show’s pilot episode introduces us to CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Krasinski) who follows several overseas bank transfers back to who he believes to be a terrorist on the rise known as Suleiman. The show’s first episode takes awhile to get going spending too much time in Ryan’s office and featuring the character getting off on the wrong foot with his new boss (Wendell Pierce) who, when Ryan’s hunch pays off, decides to take him into the field to help question a pair of suspects who they believe may be tied to the terrorist network.

Angel #1

Angel #1 comic reviewThe first issue of Angel (discounting the zero issue, which was more of a tease about Angel‘s time before heading to Sunnydale) feels a bit disconnected with the new Buffyverse, making it hard to judge where exactly it fits in the greater scheme of things. Despite the character’s first appearance being in the current BOOM! Studios Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic, the storyline here follows a completely different path.

Hanna - Forest television review

There’s a double-edge sword to consider when elongated a two-hour movie into an eight-hour series. On one hand you are able to expand and go into more depth than the original film could ever hope to have done. On the other, events can feel drawn-out longer than necessary by those who remember the pacing of the (far shorter) story. Although I like the idea of Hanna, the Amazon series adapted from the film of the same name, the first episode is mostly uneventful focusing on Hanna’s (Esme Creed-Miles) life in the wilderness and one reckless choice which changes her world forever and alerts the outside world to her existence. Pretty much all set-up, “Forest” focuses on glimpses of Hanna’s training by her father (Joel Kinnaman) far away from the prying eyes of the world after he and his wife (Joanna Kulig) stole Hanna before fleeing into the woods on a journey only Erik and his daughter would survive.
