An early instance of using what was at the time state-of-the-art computerized graphic images (CGI) to illustrate scientific discoveries, Walking with Dinosaurs was derided as trash and the

The Wheel of Time turns... etc., etc. etc., and with every turn, the Season 3 premiere draws closer. The high-fantasy series based on the legendary 14 tome epic by the late Robert Jordan technically isn't British at all; Jordan was from South Carolina, Prime Video is based in

It hasn't even been a whole month since the start of 2025, and already, there are streaming services that are desperately trying not to be the next to collapse in the face of a changing entertainment landscape. January kicked off with two of the most vulnerable companies still

We are a full quarter of the way into the 21st century. However, not everyone is quick to embrace the future, not even in television, even though most would assume those who work with filming tech would be the first to adopt any new technology bandwagon. Murdoch Mysteries is a

When Netflix transitioned to streaming originals in 2013, it made the move to " disrupt" the entertainment industry.

It is not actually the case that Steven Knight has at least one dark'n'gritty historical drama streaming somewhere in the TV landscape at any given time; it just feels like it. The TV writer/producer rose to prominence with his Peaky Blinders series in 2013, which
