The Boys is what happens when you live in a world where superheroes have become depraved celebrities. And it's finally making a super-leap from printed page to TV screens.

Preacher is finally getting a small-screen debut this year, as Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s adaptation of the blasphemously fantastic cult hit comic book series found a home on the AMC channel. But it looks like comic book writer Garth Ennis has taken a shine to the pair, as another of his infamous creations is gearing up be let loose by …

Today I learned two things. Firstly, fans, like myself, of Cinemax’s brilliantly balls-to-the-wall cops and robbers (pretending to be cops) drama Banshee are colloquially referred to as “fanshees”. This rather silly name makes me smile. And what immediately wipes that smile off my face is the second thing I learned: The fourth and final season of Banshee has been delayed …

I’m not a fan of gratuitous violence and sex in movies and TV series. Sure, my reptilian brain gets all excited over a splash of crimson or a flash of some naughty bits, but in the end my reasonable side realizes the immaturity of it all.
