Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.

And Then There Were None Review. Great Pretenders.

<i>And Then There Were None</i> Review. Great Pretenders. 2

And Then There Were None is a brilliantly orchestrated and superbly acted cinematic adventure. Based on Agatha Christie’s novel of the same name, her tale comes to vivid life on the small screen. The hauntingly beautiful score humming in the background lends an eerie vibe throughout the series. And Then There Were None is a must see for anyone who loves a great mystery.

“Ladies and gentleman, silence please. You are charged with the following indictments…” As the voice continues, each person is called out by name and charged with murder. Are they all stone cold killers? The plot thickens.

London, 1997; the British music industry is on a winning streak. Britpop bands Blur, Oasis, Radiohead rule the airwaves and Cool Britannia is in full swing. 27-year-old hit chasing A&R man Steven Stelfox is slashing and burning his way through the music business, a world where careers are made and broken by chance and the fickle tastes of the general public.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Star Crossed” Recap. Ancient Rituals and the Kool-Aid Fountain. 9

“Star-Crossed” examines an ancient Wesen ritual practiced long ago during periods of drought but when people are found staked on a cross in modern day Portland, it looks like someone is bringing tradition back. “Star-Crossed” is an engaging episode that sheds light on more Wesen folklore while delving deeper into the group known as “Black Claw” that is trying to bring about a Wesen uprising. Can Nick (David Guintoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby), and Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) find the clues to stop the final “ritualistic killing” before it’s too late?

Grimm – “A Reptile Dysfunction” Review. Feeling Waterlogged.

<i>Grimm</i> – “A Reptile Dysfunction” Review. Feeling Waterlogged. 13

“A Reptile Dysfunction” sort of lives up to its moniker; like erectile dysfunction, this episode doesn’t quite get going like it should. I was excited for the prospect of a Loch Ness type Wesen but this scaly amphibian known as a “Wasser Zahne” leaves a lot to be desired. While the whole “lake monster of Diamond Lake” plot point doesn’t float my boat, there are other aspects of “A Reptile Dysfunction” that do.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Eve of Destruction” Review. Who’s That Girl? 16

After more than a month hiatus, Grimm returns with an all new episode “Eve of Destruction.” Originally titled “The Return,” and also set to air last week on January 22, Grimm writers and producers seem to have taken their time with the reintroduction of Bitsie Tulloch back into the series. I never believed Juliette (Tulloch) had died but what transpired in “Wesen Nacht,” coupled with her surprise “Eve of Destruction,” sets the stage for an all too intriguing episode.

Lucifer Series Premiere – “Pilot” Review. Being Bad Can Be So Good.

<i>Lucifer</i> Series Premiere – “Pilot” Review. Being Bad Can Be So Good. 21

Having a sexy bad boy as the star of a new series can either be a success or complete disaster if he can’t carry off the role convincingly. Thankfully, Fox doesn’t have that problem with Lucifer’s lead Tom Ellis who plays the deliciously devious Lucifer Morningstar. Lucifer is a naughty, entertaining series you will want to tune in to each week. Ellis balances playing Lucifer as the fiendishly handsome master of Hell with just a hint of morality. My only concern is Lucifer’s humanity. The only way this show can succeed is if Lucifer continues to remain unscrupulous in his endeavors. He can still be a duplicitous manipulator who helps humans as long as he punishes the guilty as only the Devil can.

The X-Files – “My Struggle” and “Founder’s Mutation” Review. Always Believe.

<i>The X-Files</i> – “My Struggle” and “Founder’s Mutation” Review. Always Believe. 22

The use of flashbacks to Roswell circa 1947 gives viewers clues to the bigger puzzle being presented in “My Struggle.” The reemergence of a key character raises some eyebrows as to how deep the so-called alien colonization conspiracy goes. If you aren’t familiar with the history of The X-Files, it’s too complex to sum up in just a few words. “Founder’s Mutation” gives The X-Files’ fans the dynamic and sarcasm they’ve come to love and appreciate about Mulder and Scully. It dives into what I love about The X-Files —strange and wondrous cases about peculiar oddities and unexplainable phenomena. Be warned, if you are sensitive to sounds like high-pitched tones and screeching, you may have some difficulty watching parts of this episode. Also, the mutations of some of the children are quite jarring.

The 100 returns with some ferocious story lines and even more vicious opponents in the third season. “Wanheda: Part 1” provides a great introduction of what is to come this season (or at least in the next few episodes). “Wanheda: Part 1” is set three months after the terrible disaster at Mount Weather in the season two finale. Things are not so copasetic on the home front. The ark survivors have built their own camp called “Arkadia” and they continue to search for the other drop ship and possible survivors.
