    Man, based on the first episode, this series is fantastic, and I still don’t quite get what it’s doing airing on the USA network (not the place I’d expect to find quality shows). It’s about hacking, and doesn’t feel hokey, and the main character is a revelation – this guy is fantastic to watch. Really…

    This is not a good series. My wife and I did have fun watching it last year, although by the end of season 2 we were pretty much finding it too ridiculous (that egg is so silly) and just kinda lame. But with the 3rd season starting last week, we did decide to check in…

    I don’t think I can add anything to the universal praise this movie has gotten already, so I’ll just say that it is indeed glorious, and I loved the fuck out of it. More like this please.

    Even though I was very much interested in playing this game, I hadn’t picked it up upon release, mostly because I don’t really play games on my Mac much (I’m truly a console/portables/iPad gamer). But seeing this announcement from Tale of Tales today, about the poor sales of Sunset and how it has made them…

    Another game I’m buying for the second time thanks to that PSN E3 sale is Rayman Legends on PS4 (I had previously bought it for Vita). I absolutely loved this game on Vita (and loved Rayman Origins too) and so I figured that at the price they had it for ($16), it was worth revisiting…

    Another game I picked up in the PSN E3 sale is Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. I played through and loved this game when it came out on PS3 (although I did get annoyed at some of the overlong shooting sequences) and seeing the gameplay for the next one got me excited for the series again,…

    I bought a few games through the PSN E3 sale, including Dragon Age: Inquisition, which I’ve been patiently waiting to play. I’m a big fan of the series, having played through the first two and enjoying both (yes, even the second one, despite its many flaws), and so far (4-6 hours in) this entry is…

    Another series I’ve been enjoying – and yup, it’s also in the sci-fi genre – is Sense8, the series that the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski created for Netflix. I’ve still only had the chance to watch the first 2-3 episodes, but I’ve been enjoying it so far. The characters are all quite interesting, and I’m…

  • Wayward Pines

    A series I can now say I am truly enjoying (we’re 5-6 episodes in now) is Wayward Pines. Interestingly, I wasn’t expecting it to be a sci-fi show, but that’s pretty much what we’ve got here, and the big reveal in the 4th or 5th episode really was cool, and not something I was expecting…

  • Dark Matter

    Another new sci-fi series that just started is Dark Matter, and it’s apparently based on a comic series I haven’t read (from Dark Horse comics). Nice to get a new “ship in space” series, and although from the first episode alone I can’t yet say if it’ll be something I’ll really enjoy – the characters in…
