Revisiting Iconic TV: Struggle Between Creator and Fandom

Returning to a classic universe and beloved characters is a complex investment. Revisiting a popular fictional scenario sounds great. A ready-made fanbase means guaranteed high ratings and positive reviews, right? The answer is a complicated yes and no.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

The first season of the new Star Trek series reminds us the heart and intelligence that personifies the best of the franchise, is still beating. In a United States that appears to arguably be experiencing an existential crisis, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a beacon of hope in a too-often bleak and reductive American television landscape.

Why Hellbound is the Standout Series for 2021

An intelligent scripted TV series that holds a mirror to modern culture was never going to be widely embraced. Hellbound is a South Korean 6 episode series that sees random members of the community receiving messages warning of their time of upcoming death. Bizarre creatures appear, brutally killing the condemned, before disappearing again, seemingly into thin air.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay: K-dramas, the Emmys, and Mental Health Onscreen

The 2020 K-drama It's Okay to Not Be Okay (marketed version of the title translation) initially met with a mixed response in South Korea. But the drama's unique blend of fairy tale elements and mental health issues has proven an international hit.

Watching Pandemic TV Series The Rain During A Pandemic

A virulent virus is a classic science fiction trope. Turns out the reality is not what television predicted. Humanity has a deep fear of illness. In modern times, that fear seems amplified. Science empowers us-until we get sick. Most people exist in a frenzy of healthy practices that are almost religious, attempting to stave off any and every ailment.

Science Fiction TV Turns Toward Biology

Rather than the coldness of computers, imaginative organic science has been popular in scifi TV recently, the prevalence of machinery giving way to a more biological interpretation of the mysteries of the universe. To put it bluntly, spores, trees and fungi infect our perception of the future.

A dozen reasons why a Star Trek medical drama would make for great TV

Doctors are a staple of the Star Trek universe. But how great would a series focused entirely on medical characters be? Imagine the possibilities... The one hour scripted medical series has produced a lot of successful television: House, Grey's Anatomy, ER for starters, not forgetting heartwarming and humorous classics like MASH and Scrubs.

Bullying And Storytelling On Television

Bullying can have long-term, complex psychological impact. Watching a teen show recently, I wondered at the use of bullying in the plot. On television bullies are an easy source of conflict because most viewers can relate. But if the writer isn't careful, the subtext becomes twisted.

The Future of Scripted TV

Scripted television is in the process of adapting to survive an ever changing entertainment arena. The gap between the viewer and the product is shrinking, and to remain financially viable television needs to keep audiences engaged. But how?

TV and the Changing Face of Political Dramas

"Sir, you are now the President of the United States." That's from the opener of Designated Survivor, the latest in a long line of TV shows about fictional American leaders. The key to writing great presidential dramas is fusing a reflection of reality, with elements of fantasy.

Scifi TV: Where Science Meets Spirit.

If I had to describe a recurring theme across a number of current science fiction TV shows in three words, it would be: ALONE, TOO ALONE. Questions and issues facing humanity (and hence, the screenwriter) are at the core of a lot of science fiction television.

Are Socially Conscious TV Shows Above Reproach In 2016?

Dissing elements of your favourite scripted television shows is part and parcel of the viewing experience: lamenting the casting of a new character, or questioning a farfetched plot twist. But with television beginning to offer increased diversity and progressive content, a new form of self-censorship has emerged.

Female Characters and Interpretations of Empowerment on TV

Casual use of the term empowerment has come under scrutiny in recent times; female empowerment especially is a bit of a minefield, and on television everyone has different ideas as to what constitutes empowered female characters. The clone club also includes gay clone Cosima and transgender clone Tony, and the idea the clones have different sexual orientations along with varying personalities is intriguing.

Netflix This

Everyone knows the big names like Orange is the New Black, House of Cards and Making A Murderer, but what else is hidden in the hub?

The Shannara Chronicles

An episode-by-episode recap of MTV series The Shannara Chronicles.

The Expanse

In the last few years many small screen outings marketed under umbrella term "sci-fi" have seen the genre's reputation take a hit-or should I say laser. Quality has ranged from the meh to the atrocious, with stunning exceptions being 12 Monkeys and Continuum.

10 Ways To Make A Teen TV Show Hella Awesome

Just like the Colonel's secret recipe, it takes a special mix of herbs and spices aka storylines and plot devices, to create a memorable teen show.

UnREAL Makes For Mighty Compelling Television

The show's creators are Marti Noxon (she cut her teeth on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel) and Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, who worked on The Bachelor in a variety of producing roles from 2002-2004. And here is the crux of the matter.

Not Just A Flash In The Pan

If Danielle Panabaker's face seems familiar that's not surprising; her CV's mighty fine.

The Game aka The Trials And Tribulations Of Joe

What better show to blog about on Valentines Day than The Game, a miniseries that sees the lives of spies shaped, changed, even destroyed by love. Possibly taking the covert theme too far, this fantastic miniseries about an MI5 operative during the Cold War almost slipped under my radar.

Why 12 Monkeys Is The Surprise Sci-fi Gem Of The Season

If you haven't checked out the tv adaption of 12 Monkeys, be sure to make the time (pun intended). My love of time travel material on the big and small screen took a bit of a battering after the disappointment of Looper.

Slayer Returned From The Dark Side

Interview with actress Eliza Dushku from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Dollhouse.

Dr's In Good Time

Interview with actress Karen Gillan regarding the Dr Who: A Christmas Carol special.

Scifi TV Moms aka The Future Of Motherhood

For me, the presence of motherhood in the narrative worked wonderfully in this series. Since this is a beautifully written, thematically complex offering that's probably not surprising. Unlike many other scifi shows that have a grand concept they never explore properly, or characters that lack a certain psychological subtlety, Continuum delivers on all fronts.

Bye, Bye Bill

A look back at iconic British soap The Bill.

Is Netflix Changing The Structure of Scripted Television?

After watching Daredevil, I couldn't shake the feeling there was something unusual about the series. I thought the casting was fabulous, stylistically it was beautiful, but it was.... different. Then I realized it was the unusual narrative structure that had caught my attention.

Watching Comic-Based TV Shows When You Haven't Read The Comics

Writers of a television show adapted from a comic are writing for two very different audiences: avid fans of an already existing narrative, and those who've never read the comics and therefore need to be introduced to each element of the story.

Through A Lens, Darkly

Interview with filmmaker David Bradbury regarding his documentary My Asian Heart, focusing on photojournalist Philip Blenkinsop.

Gladiator From Hell

It took Dustin Clare long hours of hard work to play the gladiator no mother would love.

Yuzuru Hanyu: The Art, the Athlete, the Brand, the GOAT

Competing as a figure skater for Japan, Yuzuru Hanyu's fans span the globe at a level rarely seen in any sport. Despite announcing his competitive retirement, Yuzuru Hanyu continues to trend.

From Squid Game to Hellbound, new era K-dramas

K-dramas have had a unique entertainment journey that continues to unfold expansively with increased globalisation. To understand the success of recent Netflix K-dramas with more violent content, it is necessary to first understand the long-term arc that shaped South Korea's high quality entertainment exports. What is Hallyu?

Cancel culture, branding, cultural divides, and Kim Seon Ho

The Power & Pitfalls of Brand Ambassadors in China | Dao Insights

Brand ambassadors and KOLs can bring lucrative returns, but international companies need to understand the relationship between brand and celebrity has evolved uniquely in the Chinese market. No such thing as bad publicity? Arguably untrue in the context of KOL brand associations in China, where negative press evokes a strong consumer response.

Circle: Two Worlds Connected Is Must-See Sci-Fi

The best science fiction marries emotion with speculation. South Korean TV series Circle: Two Worlds Connected taps into one of humanity's basic fears; that science will tamper with the parameters of personality. An uncomfortable relationship between tech, emotions, and memory is a popular trope in science fiction.
