While Matt Groening's involvement in the projects he's known for tends to be fairly limited after the initial concept, those concepts are routinely absolute bangers - everyone knows The Simpsons, most know Futurama (although Olive, The…

While Frank Miller and his incessant works about whores are often credited with the birth of the 'dark age' of comics, it was writing legend and chaos magician Alan Moore who did the real heavy lifting (whilst Miller was lifting something…

Last year saw Michael Palin - founding member of Monty Python and superlative travel journalist - star as bumbling Deputy Premier Vyacheslav Molotov in Armando Iannucci's hard-edged and hilarious The Death of Stalin. Now, Palin has returned…

When you have a story about stories – which is what, to some extent or another, Westworld has been since day one – it will always run the risk of getting a bit too meta, of having winks to the audience degenerate into frantic wide-eyed…

Guillermo del Toro - he of Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape Of Water, and cameoing as the terrifying Pappy McPoyle in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - is reportedly working on a horror anthology series for Netflix, tentatively titled…

With Brooklyn Nine-Nine having recently been spared the axe due to a mass fan outcry, fans of SyFy's The Expanse are hoping they can achieve something similar. A change.org petition imploring Amazon, or Netflix, or anyone else available to…

Little more than a month after the first season dropped, Netflix has renewed its rebooted version of space-family drama Lost In Space for a second season. Despite fairly polarised reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, the show's…

Fox had its very own night of the long knives on May 10th, which saw the cancellation of three critically acclaimed comedy series: The Mick, The Last Man On Earth, and, most controversially, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Brainchild of the creators…

"A hundred years Rick and Morty!" we heard Justin Roiland belch out in the pilot to what is quite possibly the most successful animated show of the decade. With the current episode count standing at 31, this recommission for 70 more…
