If We Controlled Your Remote… 1/26/17

Posted on January 26, 2017 by

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Kyle’s Choice

Tonight, the new series Riverdale premieres on The CW. This live-action series is based on the characters from Archie Comics, but it looks like this version will be a much darker take on the material – kind of a Dawson’s Creek meets Twin Peaks. As the series opens, summer is coming to a close when the town of Riverdale experiences the tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom. As the investigation into the mysterious death is underway, the new school year begins for aspiring musician Archie Andrews (KJ Apa, Shortland Street); budding writer Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse, The Suite Life on Deck); soon-to-be-famous singer Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray); girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart, Surviving Jack), who has a crush on Archie; new student from New York Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes); and Riverdale’s Queen Bee Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch), who is the twin sister of the deceased. Some of the other main/recurring characters include Riverdale’s young music teacher, Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel, Rush); Archie’s father Fred (Luke Perry, Beverly Hills, 90210); Veronica’s mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols, Teen Wolf, 24); and Betty’s overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick, Witches of East End).

What mysteries, dangers, and secrets lurk in the shadows of this seemingly quiet, sleepy little town? I’m really looking forward to finding out! I read a bunch of the Archie comics growing up, and this looks like an interesting, more modern approach to the material. At the same time, based on the trailers, it kind of reminds me of the type of shows I enjoyed on The WB in the 90s.

On tonight’s premiere, “Chapter One: The River’s Edge,” Riverdale reels from the tragic death of Jason Blossom, a high school student; new student Veronica Lodge arrives in town; Cheryl Blossom stirs up trouble among the others while keeping a few secrets of her own.

Meet the gang from Riverdale tonight on The CW at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Grey’s Anatomy, My Kitchen Rules, Top Chef, and Colony.

Recap/Review – This Is Us – 1/24/17

Posted on January 25, 2017 by

This week’s episode of This Is Us (titled: “Three Sentences”) revealed a particularly life-changing birthday party for the Pearson gang while revelations were made in the present timeline for the Big Three.

Recap:

The Pearson’s Birthday
Showing through the lens of home movies, the Big Three have celebrated their birthdays together, complete with a three-layered cake and pin the tail on the donkey. When the kids come to Jack and Rebecca and want separate birthdays one year (they will be turning ten), the parents are less than thrilled but comply with their kids’ wishes. Kate wants a Madonna theme, Kevin wants a Princess Bride theme, while Randall just wants a magician.

While Jack is Bedazzling a pair of gloves for Kate, he mentions to Rebecca that he wants to have another kid. He feels the Big Three are growing up so quickly and they won’t need him anymore. Rebecca understands what he’s saying, but she tells him she’s done having kids.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 1/25/17

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Kyle’s Choice

Tonight, Syfy’s fantasy series The Magicians returns for its second season. This series was a pleasant surprise for me last year. When I saw that the premise was about a bunch of people in magic school, I jumped to the incorrect conclusion that it was just going to be Harry Potter in college. However, the show has a very unique style and more of an adult tone, and halfway through the first season the series took a very creepy, dark turn that had me hooked.

When the series left off, the group had made their way from Brakebills College to the magical land of Fillory, a place they thought only existed in a series of novels. Eliot discovered that he was next in line to become High King of Fillory and agreed to get married, meaning he could never leave this land. Meanwhile, the others sought a magical blade that would help them defeat the Beast, who had been threatening the lives of those back at Brakebills. However, the confrontation with the Beast didn’t go as planned. Alice, who had swallowed the magical “elixir,” froze under pressure and the group was badly injured. Penny got the worst of it, losing both his hands. Meanwhile, Julia, who was still reeling over her revelation that she had been violated by a trickster, snatched the blade and appeared to make some kind of deal with the Beast, helping him to get away.

The second season picks up right where we left off as the gang must regroup, tend to their wounds, and figure out their next move. Can they forgive Julia’s betrayal? What deal did she make with the Beast? How will the group prepare to face the Beast again? I really enjoyed tonight’s premiere – it is a lot lighter and funnier than I would have expected, given the extremely dark direction the first season headed. The premiere has some really funny moments and sets up some interesting quests/journeys for each of the characters, kicking off what looks to be another thoroughly entertaining season.

I got a chance to speak with the cast about the new season at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. You can check out my videos at NoReruns.net.

On tonight’s premiere, “Knight of Crowns,” in the aftermath of their clash with the Beast, Quentin and his friends scramble for a new plan. Meanwhile, Julia and the Beast strike a dangerous deal.

Learn what deal Julia made tonight on Syfy at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Hunted, Arrow, Frequency, Workaholics, Jeff & Some Aliens, Man Seeking Woman, Incorporated, Suits, and The Young Pope.
