A great deal can happen in seven years. In its seven seasons on The CW, Arrow has seen a lot of villains, storylines, and themes come and go. Almost every major character on the show has either been pretend dead, presumed dead, almost dead, it-was-only-a-dream dead, actually dead and brought back to life, actually…

Not counting casting announcements, the only thing we’ve seen from HBO’s “alternative reality” version of Watchmen were some leaked set photos that featured references to the “squid” that destroys New York at the end of the comic and a newspaper headline about the death of Adrian Veidt (the original story’s secret…

Amazon’s celebrated Emmy-winner Transparent has been in flux for almost a year now, ever since multiple women involved in the show’s production accused star Jeffrey Tambor of sexual harassment. Tambor has since been fired and/or loudly quit the series, which has been forced to decide where to go in the absence of its…
Like an unemployed, daytime TV-addicted 25-year-old with a Joy Behar fetish, the American government has now expressed some uncomfortably strong opinions about The View. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders took aim at the long-running ABC chat show last night, when she expressed umbrage on Twitter at a comment…
Good news, Danny Rand fans! After years of trailing along sadly behind other, better, more interesting shows, Marvel’s Iron Fist has finally found a way to distinguish itself from its fellow Netflix Marvel entries: By being the first one to get kicked out of a window and straight into Cancellation Land.
Netflix released the first season of The Haunting Of Hill House today, Mike Flanagan’s family-focused (but absolutely not family-friendly) adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s horror novel classic. We’ve got lots of coverage of the series to help accompany your latest trip into the realm of streaming terror—including Katie…

In addition to being one of the best shows on TV, The Good Place is a dense knot of running jokes, visual humor, references to dense philosophy tomes, and breadcrumbs for later episodes. In order to help you keep it all straight, The A.V. Club will be annotating the show’s third season. Catch something that we didn’t?…
According to Variety, Hulu has given a straight-to-series order to Wu-Tang: An American Saga, a 10-episode drama about how a guy living in ‘90s New York named Bobby Diggs became RZA and formed the iconic Wu-Tang Clan rap group. The series will be written by both RZA and Alex Tse, the writer behind the recent SuperFly …
Few TV shows have served as a more reliable incubator of talent over the last few years than The Daily Show, whose alumni now show up all over the upper reaches of the pop culture pantheon, from hosting late-night shows, to hosting other late-night shows, to starring in Oscar-winning films. Now, the Comedy Central…
Rebecca Bunch is going to jail. This is the culmination of a turbulent period in the life of the musical-theater-loving lawyer who left New York City to start all over again in West Covina, California (but not because her ex-boyfriend Josh lived there): an aborted wedding, a brief Fatal Attraction phase, a retreat to…
The American adaptation of The Office only finished airing five years ago, but it feels firmly entrenched in the early to mid-’00s cultural moment it emerged from. Mostly, this is the result of the show’s choice in pop references, Jim’s shaggy haircuts, and the fact that its humor came from characters grappling with…
As reported by Deadline, HBO has just announced the premiere date for season three of True Detective, the spooky mystery show that was very good for one year and then very forgettable for another. Hopes are riding pretty high for this new season, which is going to center on Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff as…
Last night, South Park aired “The Problem With A Poo,” which which tried to tackle a whole host of issues but, as our review noted, lacked a “coherent message.” The episode concluded with an unusually pointed call to cancel The Simpsons, which was maybe serious ... or maybe sarcastic ... or ... who knows?
It’s easy to forget in the age of Rick And Morty, Too Many Cooks, and Family Guy reruns, but the original Adult Swim lineup was almost entirely based around plucking characters from Space Ghost: Coast To Coast or obscure Hanna-Barbera cartoons and dropping them into new TV genres. The Brak Show was a family sitcom, …

Few films captured America’s abiding interest in presidential exceptionalism, blood-sucking monsters, and watching those two concepts wail on each other with an axe more fully than 2012's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. And lest you think that said film’s legacy stops at depicting the battle of Gettysburg as a…
