STARZ Developing American Gods Series
After toiling away with HBO for some time and failing to materialize, it appears that STARZ has opted to develop Neil Gaiman’s American Gods into a series for the premium channel. If that’s not exciting enough, Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal,” “Pushing Daisies,” “Heroes”) has been tapped to pen the pilot script alongside Michael Green […]
Is Starz’s Black Sails Still Worth the Watch?
So, I’ll admit, I’ve been pretty sucked into Starz’s new show, Black Sails. But before you scoff at me, let me just preface this with the fact that I have only been waiting since Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl came out and then Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag […]
A First Look at Black Sails

I really liked the way that they did our favorite impaler, living somewhere between reality and fantasy, and doused in grim mythology. Sent to the count as […]
Da Vinci’s Demons: The Tower Recap
Sodomy might be allowed in High Garden, but sadly, in Renaissance Italy it’s a punishable offense. And as you will remember, Leonardo was arrested for sodomy last episode and in this one, was tried. I have something to say, which is, I don’t know much about court proceedings, but I […]
Da Vinci’s Demons: The Magician Recap
Alla Bataglia Firenze! So we’re back! Back in Florence and back to Leonardo and Lorenzo’s fight against Rome. I really love how this show combines the elements of the story, like the Sons of Mithras, with the Pope, and the Medicis. With the Roman forces coming and Giuliano’s accidental reveal […]
Da Vinci’s Demons: The Prisoner Recap
Leonardo, when you start licking paintings, I think it’s time to accept the devil is here. Can I just say, aside from the lack of Zoroaster, I loved this episode of Da Vinci’s Demons. Like, I really loved it. I was glad to see more of Giuliano, we finally got […]
