In four different times (Victorian, WWII, Present Day, Future) the same body appears in a London alley. Detectives in each time period investigate. As viewers, we can see the threads that link the mysteries, but the detectives have a harder time figuring out what is going on. It was interesting and fun while it lasted, …
This show has every batshit crazy thing anyone could think of – motorcycle chases, Excalibur, doughnuts, Jesus, AI that basically runs the world, a quest for the Holy Grail, Margo Martindale . . . whatever you can imagine – it’s probably in here. Funny and exciting, this show follows a nun in her fight against …
At first I thought, “not another zombie show,” but this one is different. Twenty years after a pandemic that turns the infected into zombie-like creatures, smuggler Joel is given the task of delivering teenage Ellie (who is immune to the infection) to people who may be able to use her immunity to devise a cure …
When the first season of this show ended I immediately went back to the beginning and watched the entire season again, it was that good.

What would happen if one day 2% of the population just disappeared? What would people do to search for meaning, to try to explain the inexplicable? By the same creator as Watchmen, it is possible to see how the storytelling skills that resulted in the perfect Watchmen were honed in The Leftovers. Often painful – …
Julia Roberts stars in season one of this smart, stylish drama about a center that assists returning servicemembers in the transition to civilian life. Janelle Monae takes the lead in season two, as a woman who wakes up in a rowboat with no memory of who she is. The show switches back and forth between …
Impossible to categorize – a young woman (Natasha Lynonne) re-lives the same night over and over again, starting at a party where she is the guest of honor, but she always dies within hours or days – living the same loop a little differently each time as she tries to figure out what is happening …
Our entry to this story is Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany), a punk chic who witnesses someone step in front of a train – but that person looks exactly like Sarah.
