    Set in Boston in the early 90s when the city was rife with violent criminals emboldened by local law enforcement agencies, in which corruption, tribalism and 'taking it to the street' was the norm, until it all suddenly changed. This is a fictional account of what was called the "Boston Miracle". The change agent is District Attorney Decourcy Ward (Aldis Hodge), who comes from Brooklyn and forms an unlikely alliance with Jackie Rhodes (Kevin Bacon), a corrupt yet venerated FBI veteran who is deeply invested in maintaining the status quo. Together they take on a family of armored car robbers from Charlestown (Jonathan Tucker), (Mark O'Brien) and (James Michael Cummings) in a case that grows to encompass and eventually upend Boston’s citywide criminal justice system.

    This series is set to premiere in 2019 on Showtime.

    Set in 1990-something, Schooled is a spinoff of The Goldbergs and follows the hilarious faculty of William Penn Academy, led by new music teacher and WP graduate Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka), Principal Glascott (Tim Meadows), Coach Mellor (Bryan Callen) and young, enthusiastic super-teacher Charlie Brown or CB for short (Brett Dier). Despite their eccentricities and crazy personal lives, these teachers are heroes to their students. 

    This series is scheduled to premiere on January 9, 2019 at 8:30PM EST on ABC.

    The series follows the story of a woman named Nicole Reese, who raises her son Dion after the death of her husband Mark (Jordan). The normal dramas of raising a son as a single mom are amplified when Dion starts to manifest several magical, superhero-like abilities. Nicole must now keep her son’s gifts secret with the help of Mark’s best friend Pat, and protect Dion from antagonists out to exploit him while figuring out the origin of his abilities.

    This series is currently slated to premiere in 2019 on Netflix.

    Inspired by true events, I AM THE NIGHT tells the gripping story of Fauna Hodel (India Eisley), a teenage girl who is given away at birth, and grows up outside of Reno, Nevada. Fauna lives more-or-less comfortably with the mysteries of her origin, until one day she makes a discovery that leads her to question everything. As Fauna begins to investigate the secrets of her past, she meets a ruined reporter (Chris Pine), haunted by the case that undid him.

    Together they follow a sinister trail that swirls ever closer to an infamous Los Angeles gynecologist, Dr. George Hodel (Jefferson Mays), a man involved in some of Hollywood’s darkest debauchery, and possibly, its most infamous unsolved crime.

    This series is scheduled to premiere on January 28, 2019, at 9PM EST on TNT.

  6. I enjoyed this movie, but there were several points during which I felt so strongly that I was watching a Fast & Furious movie (the last one I saw was Furious 7, but I’ve watched it a lot) that it was distracting. I’m sure that’s just a side-effect of having the same director using flourishes that I associate with a specific other movie. But there were things — lots of the camera shots during fight sequences, or the way the Sahara landscape was covered, etc. — that just hit me with the Fast & Furious vibe.

    But like I said, I really like the movie. I can do this level of popcorn flick. And while the writing (particularly the dialogue) could have been better, and the most of the flashbacks could have been cut for time, and Black Manta was disappointingly superfluous, Jason Momoa’s charisma really did carry the movie. Amber Heard was really good, as was Patrick Wilson (though I don’t think I’ve really watched either of them in anything else). I liked the progression of Arthur’s character over the course of the movie; overall it was interesting to make an origin story for him that’s in continuity with Justice League without being a prequel. I didn’t necessarily have much problem with the CGI, but there definitely was a lot of it. And I kinda struggled to care about the big battle at the end, between characters we’re not supposed to like snd characters we hadn’t even seen before that point, with so much CGI. Clearly it was just to showcase Arthur as OTK, so I didn’t need it. But the hand-to-hand combat scenes were good.
