One of NBC’s TV shows that premiered in 2023 and was greenlit for a second season is The Irrational. The Arika Mittman-created procedural crime drama premiered on NBC on September 25, 2023, and is still available for streaming on Peacock. Having stepped away from playing police detective Joe West in The Flash television series, Jesse L. Martin leads the cast of The Irrational as a behavioral scientist. The Irrational TV series is based on Dan Ariely’s 2008 non-fiction book Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions. So far, the 8-episode season 1 revolved around Jesse L. Martin’s character...

Jesse L. Martin isn’t taking time off between TV shows, taking on the lead role in NBC’s The Irrational while wrapping up a nine-season run as Joe West on The Flash. NBC’s new drama finds Martin playing a professor with a particular analytical skill set that makes him incredibly useful in solving problems.

Episode one is set to premiere on September 25, 2023, with new episodes airing on Mondays at 10pm Et/Pt.

For a show about why people make bad decisions, NBC has made the best one by bringing Jesse L. Martin back to the network. Having just wrapped his run as The Flash’s dutiful father figure Det. Joe West, the fan favorite who spent nine seasons as Law & Order’s NYPD detective Ed Green is returning to the procedural game, and the crafty new drama The Irrational finally lets Martin shine as a leading man. He “is such a talented actor and exudes an easy charm,” raves NBC’s president of scripted content Lisa Katz. “We have always wanted to bring Jesse back to NBC and were just waiting for the right vehicle and the right time.” “It feels really great to be back on NBC after all these years,” the chronically good-natured Martin said while filming behind-the-scenes content for the crime thriller, before the actors’ strike. “And the...

As we predicted, the emotional reunion with Og Arrowverse characters in the previous episode indeed turned out to be a glow-up for CW’s The Flash, which is pretty evident from the tenth episode of the final season of the series. This episode begins the long narrative of the four-parter “A New World: Part One,” which will end the final saga of the scarlet speedster on the small screen. The first chapter of the prolonged concluding arc explores the pivotal moment of Barry Allen’s life that shaped the course of his destiny and, in the process, provides a chance for him to make peace with his arch-enemy.

As the final season of CW’s “The Flash” slowly approaches its last lap, fan-favorite characters are brought back into the series to provide their arcs with the gratifying ends they so deserve. Nia Nal, aka the Dreamer, possibly makes her final appearance in the Arrowverse with the episode “Wildest Dreams,” which is the last part of the ongoing interlude chapter of the ninth season of “The Flash,” and the character gets a befitting send off as she realizes her true worth as the generational hero. Previously, viewers also found Mark to be in distress as he processed Frost’s demise and his willingness to turn Khione, a third personality of Caitlin Snow, into the image of his deceased partner. This episode also sheds some light on that storyline as well.

The following The Flash article contains spoilers through Season 7, Episode 17.
The Flash Season 7 Episode 17
Look, as much as it hurts my heart to admit it, The Flash Season 7 has frequently been a bumpy ride. Its storylines have run the gamut from the truly dreadful (anything involving the Forces of Nature) to the nonsensical (the inexplicable Joe West and Kristen Kramer team-up), with a few dollops of brilliance sprinkled throughout.
Therefore, it makes sense that some of us (read: me) were pretty nervous about what might happen in the show’s landmark 150th episode, which has been touted all season as a big, fanservice-filled deal, complete with the introduction of Jordan Fisher’s Bart Allen.
To be fair, “Heart of the Matter, Part 1” still struggles with some of the same problems that have plagued the rest of this season. No one would have noticed if such an important anniversary episode skipped...

After nearly a half-dozen fake-outs, The Flash will finally face off against a most formidable foe from the comics.
The CW’s No. 1 series first teased the introduction of the white-and-gold clad Godspeed during Season 5, when Barry and Iris’ daughter Nora, in the year 2049, bested the sinister speedster with a good amount of help from the imprisoned Eobard Thawne aka Reverse-Flash.

Having already treated us to a new trailer and promotional poster this month, it looks as though The CW aren’t through spoiling us with goodies pertaining to The Flash‘s fifth season. This time, they deliver with a heck of a lot of images taken from the premiere episode, which has been appropriately titled “Nora.”
Speaking of which, Barry and Iris’ daughter from the future features prominently in the gallery found below, proudly sporting her Xs costume in a variety of action shots. Personally, my favorite is the one where Jessica Parker Kennedy is seemingly recreating Jeff Goldblum’s infamous pose from the first Jurassic Park flick, but there’s a lot more to feast your eyes on as we wait for the saga to continue.
If we’re to learn any lesson from this slideshow, it’s that the story may pick up moments after last May’s finale,...

Despite obviously not being the first TV series introduced to us by the Arrowverse, The Flash has consistently proven itself as a fan favorite and a ratings success for The CW. With each passing year, the show introduces us to a healthy amount of DC heroes and villains – both well known and obscure – while never shying away from crazy sci-fi action. Really, I’m impressed with what the visual effects team are able to achieve week in and week out.
This time around, it was refreshing to see Barry Allen do battle with someone who wasn’t yet another evil speedster. Cool as the previous big bads were, Clifford DeVoe Aka the Thinker will go down as being a great foil for Team Flash, having taken them to the intellectual limit like never before.

As The Flash returned from a month-long break, Barry benched a boisterous Ralph, Cisco at least cured Breacher’s allergies and Marlize celebrated Groundhog Day.
As great as it was to have the scarlet speedster back on our screens this week, it required buying into the premise that Ralph — having been through such a rewarding redemption arc at midseason — was back to being an insufferable goof. Alas, that is where we were, forcing Barry to grow increasingly frustrated with the elastic sidekick’s joke-joke-jokiness, and during the worst of times.

Disclaimer: my local CW affiliate was having some ridiculous audio issues tonight, where chunks of the episode sounded like they were being broadcast from a very small and very busted Am radio in 1973. If I missed any details, this is why.
Anyway...
I...really don't know what to make of The Elongated Knight Rises. I wasn't a fan of The Trial Of The Flash and as long as Barry remains in prison, I feel like everything is a little bit tainted by the laziness of that particular episode. But this week was certainly, um, different.
I've run hot and cold on Hartley Sawyer's Ralph Dibny.

Late screenwriting guru Syd Field often wrote in his Bibles for wannabe film scribes that if the writer doesn’t grab the viewer in the first 10 minutes (or the first 10 pages), then there’s no reason to stay with the story. Often these introductory minutes indicate the kind of story we are about to see, and illuminate important aspects of the protagonist whose journey we will follow. If one judges Boychoir from its opening scenes, few would want to stick around to see how the rest of the story unfolds.
The film begins going steadily through a checklist of conventions for stories about a downtrodden young protagonist with prodigal talent. The first shot of the film is of Stet, played by newcomer Garrett Wareing, crouching behind a train as it rattles through a Texas town. (If one was looking for a more trite way to show that the main character...

Boyhood and Whiplash? That’s old news! This year, let’s combine them for Boychoir. The first trailer for the film, directed by François Girard, hit the web on Tuesday. It stars Dustin Hoffman, Kevin McHale, Kathy Bates, Eddie Izzard, Joe West, Josh Lucas, and Debra Winger. Wareing plays Stet (as in Stetson), an 11-year-old Texan who’s sent to “the premier boy choir school in the nation” after the death of his single mother. He immediately fails to fit in — he’s a poor kid with behavioral issues, in a fancy school full of fancy people — but his vocal talents capture the attention of the sour Carvelle (Hoffman).
Boychoir seems to be a more sedated version of Whiplash with Hoffman playing the teacher that will be pushing Stet past him limits to make him the best singer in the choir. Hoffman looks strong in the role, but the overall...
