From the dawn of television, there has always been a vast divide separating the TV critics from the TV viewers. Critics tend to love TV shows with deep themes, that are intellectually stimulating, and best of all, offer insider-jokes. But such high-brow fare rarely connects with the mass viewing audience.

Diving Into Starz New Drama Series DA VINCI’S DEMONS
Offering a swashbuckling approach to telling the tale of Leonardo da Vinci, inventor and scientist extraordinaire as well as a visionary long before his time, the new Starz drama series DA VINCI’S DEMONS has the look and feel of a pirate-adventure tale. Da Vinci is not just a hero that romances the ladies and dashes about with eternal optimism and cheeky confidence, he is an unwilling pawn in a very nasty game of politics between the Roman church and the royal powerbrokers looking to upset the political balance in their favor. Politics, religion and science – it is the makings of a cataclysmic collision of conflicting interests. Yet that makes for rich storytelling and drama. [Read more…]

TV NOW: Is the Era of the Big 5 Networks Officially Over?
For the past decade we have been hearing how the television industry is becoming increasingly outdated. But that was more a reflection on its slowness to embrace new technology – whether it was digital media, social media or just recognizing that cord-cutters are growing by leaps and bounds.

At the century mark, television was still dominated by the Big 5 of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the CW. [Read more…]
