The BBC and wokeness killed the much-loved sci-fi TV series. The writer who last revived ‘Doctor Who’ is likely the only one who can save it now. “Doctor Who” is dead. Ratings haven’t been this low since the moribund 1980s. Fan interest is zilch, with little engagement on social media. The show just finished its 13th series, and the few who watched could only yawn. The doctor is on life support thanks to the BBC’s incessant diversity mandates, executive producer Chris Chibnall retcons, and the lazy pomposity of the first female doctor, Jodie Whittaker. But there is hope. A familiar...

In a miniseries relevant for our times, four remarkable children must tune out media propaganda and seek truth to solve what’s causing a society-wide panic. “There is a place where truth matters, even if most people don’t pay attention to it.”“The Mysterious Benedict Society,” a streaming TV series on Disney Plus faithfully adapted from the original novel by Trenton Lee Stewart, slowly unravels a surprising and even sophisticated mystery with a talented ensemble cast and charming Technicolor style.Set in a vaguely British seaside locale circa the mid-1970s, the plot hinges on news media anxiously hyping a threat called The Emergency....

As the protests condemning the tragic death of George Floyd continue and the opportunistic riots rage on, the media has turned against the entire concept of the police with a vengeance. As such, several media outlets have decided to attack a staple of the American television landscape – police procedurals. With recent unjust demonization of the police as a whole becoming a popular political stance from the woke crowd, their positive portrayal on television has come under fire. Some have argued that the issue with this sub-genre of shows is their focus on the perspectives of their police protagonists at...

After complaints of a "subtexual anti-Islam sentiment," as one news report described it, Netflix has decided not to renew the drama "Messiah" after one season. Series co-star Wil Traval broked the news on Instagram, calling it "a very sad day," Deadline reported. The series by Michael Petroni and "The Bible" producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey featured a CIA officer played by Michelle Monaghan investigating a mysterious messianic figure known as Al-Masih who had attracted international followers. The name Al-Masih, Arabic for messiah, prompted a change.org petition urging a boycott of the series. The Guardian newspaper of London explained that...

Conservative commentator Dan Bongino schooled producer Craig Mazin on the “failure of socialism” Thursday after the creator and writer of HBO’s “Chernobyl” praised a tweet by horror icon Stephen King that compared the Soviet-era disaster to Donald Trump’s presidency. The feud started early Thursday after Mr. King wrote that it’s “impossible” for him to watch “Chernobyl” without thinking of the current president. Stephen King @StephenKing: "It's impossible to watch HBO's CHERNOBYL without thinking of Donald Trump; like those in charge of the doomed Russian reactor, he's a man of mediocre intelligence in charge of great power--economic, global--that he does not...

Tim Tebow brings his competitive edge to “Million Dollar Mile,” the obstacle-course competition series he’s hosting on CBS. “Although I’ve never been an obstacle-course racer I know what it’s like to be able to try to handle the pressure and the lights and push yourself past limits you didn’t think were possible,” says Tebow, 31. The former Heisman Trophy winner, NFL quarterback (Jets, Broncos) and current Mets hopeful — he’ll start the season with the team’s Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse — taped his 10-episode “Million Dollar Mile” gig late last fall. In the series — premiering Wednesday, March 27 (9...

Just wondering if anyone here has seen 'The Detectorists', a gentle comedy series about metal detecting. It's written by Mackenzie Crook, who also stars in it.I think is was shown on a couple of channels over there. Here's a clip: https://youtu.be/C6gSYHJhuCw It also stars Diana Rigg's daughter Rachel Stirling, who's the spit of her mother.https://youtu.be/_8fBd0Um43o

There is a lot of crap on TV to be avoided but there is one series that I found supremely entertaining (and educational). It is "Red Mafia." It is a Russian production from 2011 but now available via Amazon Prime as you can see HERE. It is not to be confused with the Russian Mafia of current times. This series is about Party corruption during the Soviet Era. And there was quite a bit of corruption all the way to the top. What makes this series especially entertaining is that it has a lot of humor. For example, Brezhnev (in...

It is the moment Game Of Thrones fans have been patiently waiting six seasons for. The sensational new trailer released on Wednesday shows the moment Daenerys finally unleashes her dragons on Westeros. The enthralling 90-second teaser shows all of the main players gearing up for the final battle for the Seven Kingdoms.

Now, some of the critics watching "Homeland" have — there’s a big story at NewsBusters featuring an interview with the cast. What everybody thinks has happened in Homeland is that after six years of naming Islamofascists as the bad guys, that Americans have become the bad guys. And that’s only half the story. That’s only half of what they’ve done on Homeland. This is amazing. And I’ll get to it in due course.

Omaha-raised actor Zahn McClarnon has 30 years and 70 credits to his name, most notably scene-stealing roles on FX’s “Fargo” and Netflix’s “Longmire.” The 50-year-old actor has done a lot and seen a lot. But his latest project casts him in fresh new territory: playing Pierce Brosnan’s father. In AMC’s new epic Western series, “The Son” — which began its 10-episode season Saturday night — McClarnon plays Toshaway, the chief of a Comanche Tribe. During a raid, the tribe captures a Texas boy named Eli McCullough (Jacob Lofland, of “Mud” and “Justified”), whom Toshaway raises as his own. As Eli’s...

It’s no secret that This Is Us is one of TV’s best new shows. Between the unique way of presenting one family’s unfolding story and the deeply relevant and relatable characters, This Is Us has many of us laughing one minute and crying the next.It is an easy show to love.But there is something important taking place on Tuesday nights at 8:00 CST that must be addressed even if you haven’t seen one episode yet. TV has been waiting decades for Jack Pearson. Here’s why.For years, we’ve watched popular sitcoms and TV dramas depict husbands and fathers disengaged from their...

For those who are not, It's a Survivor meets "Lord of the Flies" show. It features a bunch of snowflakes, a gangster wannabe, a surprisingly hardy Bernie gal and a Gadsden flag waving Christian alpha male. I have found it quite interesting.

Have you been watching Showtime's Homeland? It's deep into jihad-supporting territory. That's nothing new by itself. It's taken a hard turn that way since this season began. Before that, too, but not quite as far as this. The question is, how far? The answer is given by checking who they hired to advise the show: Ramzi Kassem is a Muslim-activist, Gitmo lawyer and columnist for Al-Jazeera. Do you remember when President Obama promised to "close" Guantanamo? Ramzi Kassem opposed those plans because they weren't good enough for the jihadis. To be fair, Obama's plan was always a fraud. Moving Guantanamo...

The opening scene of War and Peace, the first two hours of which screened on A&E, Lifetime, and History Channel on Monday night, was specifically constructed with the purpose of allaying fears that the screen version would not be faithful to Leo Tolstoy’s 1800-page magnum opus.

After a battle-heavy first two episodes, it was pure, unadulterated romance that left viewers misty-eyed while watching War And Peace last night. An emotionally charged scene which saw dashing Prince Andrei (James Norton) whisk Natasha Rostova (Lily James) on to the dancefloor at the Tsar's New Year's Eve ball left the audience of the hit BBC One period drama reeling. Viewers took to social media to praise the romantic scene, which showed the couple falling in love - calling it 'this generation's Mr Darcy in the pond' - referring to Colin Firth in Pride And Prejudice.

Thanks to "Game of Thrones," television just can't get enough of the Middle Ages. Those flickering smoky interiors, enormous woolly coats and bloody, ax-heavy battles; the remarkable décolletage, the picaresque foliage and mud. Sometimes there's magic, sometimes there isn't, but, by gosh, there's always plenty of bloody hacking and mud. Certainly "The Last Kingdom," the BBC drama that premieres Saturday and is based on the first book of Bernard Cornwell's "Saxon Tales," checks all these boxes in short order. Don't let the exposition-heavy first episode fool you; this may be a sword 'n' longboat epic with a handsome hero at...
