Link Tank: 10 Shows to Watch For Fans of The Expanse

New DVD release, ,
From Altered Carbon to Fortitude, here are some shows fans of The Expanse should check out. “The Expanse Season 5 recently made its debut, after an excruciating series hiatus. Unfortunately, fans were also met with the bittersweet news that The Expanse will come to an end with season six. The fascinating blend of sci-fi noir, space opera, and political thriller will hopefully get the ending it deserves.” Read more at The Portalist. A lot of what we know about the Roman Empire tend to get lost in translation when adapted for popular culture. Check out some of the most prevalent…

Bridgerton: Best Shows to Watch After the Netflix Series

New DVD release, , , , ,
Netflix’s Bridgerton has swept viewers off their feet with its lush blend of romance tropes—fake relationship, forbidden love, “we could be together if only we could stop misunderstanding each other”—anchored by the soapy, searing gossip of one Lady Whistledown. Those eight episodes went down like tea sandwiches, doubtless leaving viewers hungry for more Regency romance and timeless drama. Thankfully, you can sate your appetites with these nine TV series. A mix of adaptations and original series, they reimagine famous figures as compelling heroines and transplant viewers into immersive towns and households, with new scandals and love stories to get obsessed…

Are You Afraid of the Dark? Season 2 Trailer Shows a Scary Expanded Scope

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Midnight Society’s campfire was restoked—figuratively and literally—for the 2019 Halloween season by Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? three-episode miniseries, which enticed audiences old and new for more chilling exploits from a new generation of the classic kid coterie of scare-chasers. Thus, the network subsequently greenlit Season 2, this time for six episodes, which begin their weekly run in February. Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows is the title of Season 2, indicating that the series will again eschew its classic single-episode story format to utilize the entirety of a season to tell one…

Link Tank: The Best Original TV Shows on Netflix in 2020

New DVD release, ,
Netflix has been an original content powerhouse in recent years. Here are the best TV shows the streaming service offered up in 2020. “Netflix cranks out a lot of original content. Every year, the streaming giant invests billions of dollars to roll out dozens of new original series and movies, but not every release can be a bona fide hit like Stranger Things or have the star power of a show like Ozark. There may be a lot of nonsense in the mix, but there’s a lot of good stuff, too.” Read more at Thrillist. HBO reportedly saw their subscribers…

Best Returning British TV Shows from 2020

New DVD release, ,
2020 brought many things with it. Brexit. Another iPhone. The 30th anniversary of Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. A Crackerjack revival, the increasingly critical state of our burning planet, the inauguration of a Gangsta Granny rollercoaster at Thorpe Park, and a global pandemic that shut down life as we know it. A mixed bag, all told. One thing you can largely rely on in worrying times is television, and below are the top returning British shows that fought their way through the Covid-19 lockdown to come back in 2020. After Life series 2 Release date: Friday 24th of April, Netflix…

Coming 2 America Trailer Shows a 2020 That Looks Like 1988

New DVD release, , , ,
Amazon has started to lay down the proverbial rose petals on which its high-profile pandemic-era theatrical refugee, Coming 2 America, will eventually walk; namely the first trailer for the 30+ years-awaited sequel to Eddie Murphy’s 1988 comedy classic. The Paramount-produced film, once scheduled to hit theaters in August 2020, met a fate typical of the year 2020 this past October when the studio sold distribution rights to Amazon, which, after a recent delay, has scheduled the film to stream in March. Interestingly, the just-dropped trailer seems to indicate that the America to which Murphy’s Prince Akeem Joffer will once again…

The Best TV Shows of 2020

New DVD release
Some year, eh?  We’re often poetic about TV around these parts. It’s no secret that we like to sing its praises as a powerful, restorative, and maybe sometimes therapeutic medium. But during a dangerous, confusing year, delving into the many ways that TV “kept us sane” or whatever feels reductive.  What we can say, however, is this: TV was around this year. And that’s no small feat as not every other medium was so lucky. Concerts and other live performances were canceled. The movie-going experience was upended (perhaps permanently), and even curling up with a nice book at a coffee…

Black Widow Sticking with Movie Theaters Shows Flaws in HBO Max Model

New DVD release, , , , , ,
You could practically hear the gasps of disappointment last night. Marvel fans around the world were so sure Disney’s call to investors would confirm what they wanted to hear—that Marvel Studios’ Black Widow is coming straight to Disney+. Instead they were forced to face Disney’s cold reality: It still doesn’t make much economic sense to release a potentially massive blockbuster like Black Widow on streaming without some type of theatrical window. At least not yet. To be sure, Disney is not against experimenting with putting major films on their streaming service. This year alone they have (or will soon) release…

Batwoman Season 2 Trailer Shows Ryan Wilder Taking on “The Batman Rule”

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Batwoman season 2 trailer is out, and while it’s only about a minute long, it’s chock full of new information to tease us until the premiere in January. There’s always a build-up before a new season, but with the longer time gap and Javicia Leslie coming in to play a new Batwoman, this feels like an extra juicy hiatus. We’ve seen some stills and behind the scenes footage, but this is our first proper introduction to Javicia’s Batwoman – and our first peek at how the Batwoman writers will handle Kate Kane’s absence. Let’s dive in. Check it out…

31 Best Horror TV Shows on Streaming Services

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
Horror and television have always been a bit of an awkward fit. What’s scary and what’s bingeable sometimes seem mutually exclusive.

Still, in the modern streaming era, there are plenty of horror TV shows that get the spooky job done. Gathered on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and HBO Max are some truly great bingeable options to elevate the heart rate. Here we’ve compiled the very best of the best.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising Hands-on Preview Shows How the Game Is Inspired by Zelda: Breath of the Wild

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In October, Den of Geek got four hours of hands-on playtime with Ubisoft’s upcoming action-adventure fantasy title Immortals: Fenyx Rising. In the online demo, which was guided by a Ubisoft demoist, we got to see a bit of the game’s open-world setting, the Golden Isle, which is heavily inspired by the milieu of Greek mythology. The game is vast, epic-looking, and from what I’ve played so far, has engaging combat and gameplay loops that should fill out its open world nicely. The story revolves around a dark titan named Typhon, who was banished to the underworld of Tartaros by Zeus…

How Helstrom Became One of Marvel Television’s Last Shows Standing

New DVD release, , , , ,
Hell hasn’t quite frozen over on the Vancouver set of Marvel’s Helstrom but it’s close. A chill can be felt even inside the fabricated walls of St. Teresa’s Church as Tom Austen, who plays the titular Daimon Helstrom, sits down to talk with the press. It’s February and the show is months from its release date but Austen is already wearing the classic “Marvel leading man undercover” look, with a logo-less black hat atop his head. He’s prepared to discuss many aspects of Marvel’s first horror series, chief among them: just how much fun it is to set things on…

Belushi Trailer Shows an Icon at the Top of His Game

New DVD release, ,
What would the world look like if Animal House alumni John “Bluto” Blutarsky were in the Senate now? The actor who played him, John Belushi, maintains he’d rather be an anarchist than a professional in the trailer for upcoming Belushi. Never quite ready for prime time, the performer had already urged lemmings in their final jump for National Lampoon. Showtime’s documentary feature shows how he made the leap himself to comic icon. Belushi was in the original cast of Saturday Night Live, which goes into season 46 on Oct. 3, and his influence on comedy is felt as strongly today…

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Gameplay Demo Shows off the PS5’s Power

New DVD release, , , , ,
Insomniac Games released a new gameplay demo for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart during Gamescom’s opening night ceremony, and it featured possibly our best look yet at the potential of PS5’s power potential. While the demo was described as seamless gameplay footage captured from a PS5, it should be noted that the sequence it showcased looked fairly scripted. Our best guess is that it’s taken from a segment early in the game that is meant to serve as a kind of preview for what’s to come. As such, it’s still a little hard to tell whether or not the game…

Death on the Nile Trailer Shows Gal Gadot in Egypt

New DVD release, , , ,
“The romance of the desert has the power to seduce,” we hear in the first Death on the Nile trailer. Thus director Kenneth Branagh continues his loving obsession with mystery writer Agatha Christie, gathering as much star power as his 2017 adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express. The opening shot lingers on the sun-drenched pyramids and entombed pharaohs with fetishistic delight. Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer also do a slow burn into the camera lens. These are killer shots, and the Death of the Nile release date, Oct. 23, brings a welcome relief but still leaves questions. The 20th…

Link Tank: Absurdist TV Shows You Should Watch to Cope With Reality

New DVD release, , , ,
Real life isn’t too great right now. Here are some over-the-top shows on TV and streaming services to help you cope. “Absurdism, as a philosophy and artistic movement, is about humanity’s inability to find meaning in our strange, chaotic universe. Instead, we seek to embrace the bizarre, finding comfort in the things that exist outside of our reality. Given the state of the world right now, is it any wonder we might need that?” Read more at Gizmodo. Twenty-four classic female authors, who previously published under male pseudonyms, will finally have their books published under their real names. “To celebrate…

Deathstroke: Knights and Dragons Shows off Lady Shiva and Ravager Fight

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Slade Wilson has a complicated family life. He’s the premier assassin in the DC Universe, with super powers and a big beefy sword and a butler with wit sharper than Slade’s sword. He’s would seem to be the ideal Batman foil, but instead he’s the primary villain of the Teen Titans, and especially Robins in all their varying incarnations. And most of that rivalry comes from Slade’s dysfunctional family, which you can get a glimpse of in this exclusive clip from the upcoming DC animated feature, Deathstroke: Knights and Dragons. The movie looks to be a little bit about Deathstroke’s…
