The current trend of TV revivals has been somewhat annoying, with every network and studio falling over themselves to resurrect old things instead of creating new things, but let’s all shut up about that for a second because Hulu is trying to bring back Veronica Mars—a legitimately good show that totally should come…

In Expert Witness, The A.V. Club talks to industry insiders to shed some light on how the pop culture sausage gets made. In this installment, we talk to longtime TV director John T. Kretchmer to discuss all the unusual and unexpected ways directing for the small screen is different than directing for the big screen.

In an apparent effort to quickly make itself very popular with the sort of people who read The A.V. Club (and only those people), Verizon’s video streaming service Go90 will soon have all of Veronica Mars, Almost Human, Babylon 5, Believe, Fringe, Stalker, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles for free. This…

A show as genre-bending and generation-defining as Buffy The Vampire Slayer was bound to have some long-lasting implications. Creator Joss Whedon quickly moved on to new series like Firefly and Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., and brought his wisecrack to movies like The Avengers. Angel tried to pick up the slayer…

In what’s becoming a holiday tradition around these parts, The A.V. Club has once again combed the catalogs of the major streaming services to help guide your binge-watching over the Thanksgiving weekend. Unlike in years past, there’s a headline-grabbing Netflix premiere set for Black Friday—and while we’re plenty…

One week a month, Watch This offers staff recommendations inspired by a new show coming out that week. This week: The return of Amazon’s Red Oaks has us thinking about TV’s other exclusive clubs.

This week’s question comes from reader Jacqui Ronan:

Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.

There was little in Wet Hot American Summer to suggest it should be resurrected. Here was a self-contained movie from 14 years ago, a film without an expansive mythology to explore or complex themes to interrogate, or even dangling narrative threads to wrap up. But Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp …

Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.

We’ll see Jason Dohring in yet another CW show this fall—he’s joining the cast of The Originals for season three. The Veronica Mars alum will play Will Kinney, a canny New Orleans detective, on the Vampire Diaries spin-off.

Over the last few years, TV networks have decided that there’s nothing better than resurrecting canceled TV shows for limited revival runs. It’s hard to disagree with that strategy, though, when it means getting new episodes of Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Heroes, and Coach, all of which are beloved shows that ended too…

A.V. To Z is an alphabetical survey of a specific realm in pop culture.

We’re at the exact midpoint of what’s been a strong first season for iZombie, and with six episodes behind us and six episodes to go, the show has already settled into such a workable groove that even the just-okay episodes aren’t too disappointing. A typical iZombie (and it’s a measure of how assured the series has…

In 11 Questions, The A.V. Club asks interesting people 11 interesting questions—and then asks them to suggest one for our next interviewee.

We begin each new year on a hopeful note by cataloging our most anticipated pop culture of the next 12 months. But before we look ahead to 2015, it’s time to see how our most anticipated entertainment of 2014 panned out. Wes Anderson’s latest film kicked off our Inventory of hopes and dreams in January, and The Grand…
