Tv News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

While this week may feel like a bit of a slog after the long holiday weekend, luckily the new TV this week does not. Take Obliterated, for example, Netflix’s latest bawdy comedy about an elite special forces team having to go through their own The Hangover-esque recovery as they try to track down a nuclear bomb. It’s a comedy that is often raunchy but even more frequently funny, and the show is smarter than it has to be.

Writer Megan McDonnell, who has worked on Marvel projects WandaVision and The Marvels, has joined the team working on Amazon's Tomb Raider TV series.

It’s today, and fans are curious about how to stream this Premier League showdown. Liverpool, with their aggressive attacking play under Jürgen Klopp, are determined to challenge Manchester City’s dominance. Manchester City, led by the tactical genius of Pep Guardiola, are looking to solidify their top position. The game is expected to be a thrilling display of strategic play and world-class talent, with both teams eager to prove their superiority in the league.

The release date and time have been revealed. The episode will air on Apple TV Plus. This series centers on a team of MI5 agents who are led by Jackson Lamb, their miserable boss. These agents are also known as the ‘slow horses’ and are usually tasked with miscellaneous paper-pushing tasks. However, after a series of events they get involved in investigating schemes that endanger Britain.

As Shakespeare might have put it (but probably didn’t): Motion smoothing is known by many names, yet it’s just as much of a scourge no matter what you call it.

LG C3 OLED | 42-inch | 4K | Smart TV | 120Hz | $1,296.99 $896.99 at B&H (save $400)LG makes some mean TVs, but they're actually pretty excellent for gaming on, too. Not only do you get the benefits of the awesome OLED panel technology (incredible contrast and rich colours) but it'll run up to 120Hz and supports HDMI 2.1 for all your gaming needs. This smaller panel is more of a size we like for a smaller space, though it's still a bit large for a desktop.

It’s (American) Thanksgiving this week, which means you might watch a lot of TV, but it might not be strictly new releases. But that doesn’t mean television stops; amid all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathons and parade fare there’s plenty of new offerings to catch up on. That might be from the year writ large — is it finally time to catch up on Silo or make space for Fionna and Cake in full? Or maybe you’re looking to keep the autumnal season alive with a classic like Over the Garden Wallor a gone-too-soon hit like Marianne.

TCL Q6 | 55-inch | 4K | Smart TV | 60Hz | $449.99 $349.99 at BestBuy (save $100)OK. Alright. It's only 60Hz. But it's a 55-inch QLED HDR 4K TV. For $349. As it happens, it will actually do 120Hz with variable refresh, but only at 1440p. And it's good for 500 nits peak brightness. It ain't half bad for the money.

Starting on November 23, viewers can stream the critically acclaimed supernatural horror film Evil Dead Rise directed by Lee Cronin, who is best known for his work on the 2019 supernatural horror film The Hole in the Ground.

The film’s cast includes Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davies, Mark Mitchinson, Gabrielle Echols, Nell Fisher, Noah Paul and Richard Crouchley.

A new video game based on AMC’s The Walking Dead TV series gives players the power to change how the show’s biggest moments play out.

A mystery has been brewing since viewers visited the monster-filled lands of Legendary’s 2017 film, Kong: Skull Island. The movie revealed a shady organization called Monarch with special interests in the growing presence of titanic monsters like King Kong and Godzilla. We’ve seen these behemoths crush and clash on the big screen, along with a breadcrumb trail of clues around Monarch’s machinations. That trail continues today as Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premieres on Apple TV+, continuing the Monsterverse story from exciting new perspectives of its nuanced human protagonists.

Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is the first original game based on the comic books series written by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, and it does an excellent job at presenting a compelling tale centered around one of the most interesting characters of the series, Atom Eve.

The first trailer for Masters of the Air, Tom Hanks’ spiritual successor to Band of Brothers and The Pacific, debuted last week. In it, we get our first look at an absolutely stacked cast in action, which includes Austin Butler, Callum Turner, and Barry Keoghan, among others. But we also get our first taste of the particularly brutal style of aerial combat, which defines the ambitious nine-episode streaming series debuting on Apple TV Plus in January.

This week’s TV premieres are all heavy hitters — some more literally than others (Godzilla is pretty much always at fighting weight, and a total knockout at that). But suffice it to say that while everything else might be looking ahead to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, television is bringing its A game.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s embrace of multiverse shenanigans took the franchise into a new phase, one where in theory, fans no longer need to argue about whether a given Marvel TV show is canon to the MCU. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has implied that now, they’re all canon, sorta — any story taking place under the Marvel brand can in theory be considered a multiverse story happening somewhere in the realm of possibility.

Just days before its release, Emma Stone's new TV series The Curse has been met with divisive critic reviews online and on Rotten Tomatoes despite its current 83% score.

Spooky season is “over,” but spooky season is also a state of mind. Which is all to say that there are still horror TV offerings for those who seek them and want to keep the spirit alive. Like Netflix’s latest horror anime, Akuma Kun, or Showtime’s The Curse, starring Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone. It’s hard to tell if either of these will be playing their horrors particularly straight, but it’s the thought (and the appropriate amount of dread) that counts.

For now, this hike has only gone into effect in the US and select international regions like the UK, where new subscribers will be immediately treated to the new prices.

Kingdom opens ominously, with two attendants walking across a Joseon-era Korean palace’s courtyard to bring the king his meal. Once inside, the older attendant warns his young companion not to look into the king’s bedchambers while passing the food underneath the curtain. The young attendant can’t resist, and when he opens his eyes he’s dragged under the curtain by a snarling beast. It’s a dread-filled scene that grabs your attention, but Kingdom also uses that moment to set itself apart. Most zombie shows are centered around characters thrust into survival mode without knowing what caused the outbreak in the first place. In Kingdom, the original zombie is not just a known entity, he’s also being tended to by a royal staff.

The LG OLED C2 is one of my favorite gaming screens, and I'm thrilled to say that a Prime Day TV deal has brought it back down to its lowest price. For just over a grand, you can currently grab a display that'll let your PS5 and Xbox Series X strut its 4K 120Hz stuff, not to mention it'll transform games and movies with its exceptional contrast capabilities.

We’ve all imagined ourselves as the stars (or the villains) of a reality show, right? What could we say, how could we act, or who could we woo to bag the ultimate prize? Everyman Trevor Hills - with his office getup, dad-sized ‘tache, and lanky build - isn’t quite so lucky in the upcoming American Arcadia.

See below!
