Hooten & the Lady - Rome TV review

British Museum curator Lady Alex Lindo-Parker (Ophelia Lovibond) crosses paths with treasure hunter Ulysses Hooten (Michael Landes) in Rome where she is attempting to excavate a site for the museum and spend some pre-wedding time with her mother (Jane Seymour) but soon becomes wrapped up in Hooten’s search for the prophetic long-lost Sibylline Book. As with the series first adventure, “Rome” is another B-movie adventure (although this time more of a knock-off of National Treasure or The DaVinci Code than Romancing the Stone). Finding the book will mean defacing the Sistine Chapel, fighting the Italian Mob, and very little wedding planning or working on the job Alex was sent to Rome to accomplish. Still, as with the first episode of the series, there is some fun to be had.

Killjoys - The Hullen Have Eyes TV review

“The Hullen Have Eyes” picks up the thread of the ships discovered by the RAC agents in the season premiere and explains what D’Avin (Luke Macfarlane) was doing we he piloted one of the ships (but not why no one noticed he was gone) as he, Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen), Johnny (Aaron Ashmore), and “new nerd” Zeph (Kelly McCormack) take the ship on a trip to a Hullen planet and meet their blinded worshipers.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - Back in Black TV review

“Back in Black” is notable for introducing Sam Alexander (Logan Miller) to the Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Reprising the Nova helmet seen in earlier episodes (which turns out to have belonged to Sam’s father), the Guardians go in search of the missing weapon only to discover the young teen has become Earth’s new Nova. The first-half of the episode is pretty straightforward as the heroes clash before the Guardians attempt to both train and dissuade Sam from life as a cosmic super-hero. The former is more successful than the later.

Shadowhunters - A Problem of Memory TV review

After discovering Clary (Katherine McNamara) still has feelings for Jace (Dominic Sherwood), Simon (Alberto Rosende) goes on a bender ending with a hangover, hazy memories, and everyone suspecting he is responsible for the death of a young woman drained by a vampire. The uncertainty doesn’t last all that long, and the storyline would have worked a bit better had events been drawn out rather over multiple weeks rather than immediately solved. Despite loosing control, and being a bloodthirsty creature of the night, Simon is no killer… at least not yet. In a related plot, Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) also struggles with recent events and the reawakening of his most painful memory.
