What have you been watching? Including Endeavour, Vikings, Hannibal, 19-2, Agents of SHIELD and Continuum

It’s “What have you been watching?”, my chance to tell you what movies and TV I’ve been watching recently that I haven’t already reviewed and your chance to recommend things to everyone else (and me) in case I’ve missed them.

The usual “TMINE recommends” page features links to reviews of all the shows I’ve ever recommended, and there’s also the Reviews A-Z, for when you want to check more or less anything I’ve reviewed ever. And if you want to know when any of these shows are on in your area, there’s Locate TV.

New shows I’ve already reviewed this week:

I’ve not watched Channel 4’s New Worlds yet – any good?

After the jump, the regulars, with reviews of Agents of SHIELD, Enlisted, Resurrection, W1A, 19-2, The Americans, Arrow, The Blacklist, Continuum, The Doctor Blake Mysteries, Endeavour, Hannibal, Suits and Vikings

Weekly Wonder Woman

Weekly Wonder Woman: Action Comics #30

4 April 2014 Rob Buckley 2 Comments

Action Comics #30

Only one comic is featuring the Amazon princess this week – boo! – and it’s Action Comics #30, which serves as a start to the ‘Superman Doomed’ crossover arc that’s going to be running through Action Comics, Superman/Wonder Woman, Superman et al over the coming month or so.

Unfortunately, DC’s timings are all a bit off, so Wondy only appears in one pane of the issue…

Wonder Woman flashback. Or flashforward

…in which Superman recalls that time when Harrow – the ghost soldier who can raises armies of the dead in a manner somewhat akin to Ares back in Wonder Woman – got her soldiers to try to kill Wonder Woman. You remember that, don’t you? You don’t? Oh, that’s because that’s happening next week in Superman/Wonder Woman #7. Not at all confusing, hey?

Oh well, that’s all folks!

What TV’s on at the BFI in May 2014

4 April 2014 Rob Buckley Post a comment

It’s time for our regular look at the TV that the BFI is showing, this time in May 2014. Edwardian drama is top of the bill this month – bet you didn’t see that coming? In fact, it’s the only thing on the bill, so savour it, since as well as a Q&A with Zoë Wanamaker, there are plays featuring Jeremy Brett, Sean Connery, Patrick Stewart, Ian Richardson, Jeremy Irons, André Morrell, Peter Vaughan, Annette Crosby, Timothy West, Anna Calder-Marshall and Colin Firth, to name but a few.
