I don’t think there’s a show that I enjoyed more in its first season, than The Flash. Well, maybe Farscape, but that show is ancient history.

Tuesday night saw the debut of Marvel’s latest small-screen endeavour, the Hayley Atwell led Agent Carter, which was met by massive critical praise (and you can add my name to that pile of glowing reviews as well).

Well, it looks like today is your lucky day then, as the Gecko brothers are making a return to prime …

And it looks like that trend won’t stop any time soon, as network exectuives have their eyes set on bringing back a certain famed whodunnit-solver. Ladies and gentlemen of a different generation, prepare for the return of …
