“Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham” Composer Stefan L. Smith Draws out the Darkness

Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham submerges Bruce Wayne (David Giuntoli) in a world of magic, myths, and monsters. Set a century ago in the roaring 20s, the glamour and grandeur of Gotham glimmer beneath an evil awakening set to consume the city. The edgy animated style based on the 2000-2001 comic book miniseries by Mike Mignola and Richard Pace is appropriately avant-garde and calls for an epic, atmospheric score. Composer Stefan L.

Inside the “Succession” Season 4 Premiere & Logan Roy’s Bummer of a Birthday

It shouldn’t be all that surprising that Logan Roy (Brian Cox) would be a dour birthday boy. Succession’s fourth season premiere began with the big guy taking center stage in a birthday celebration at his house. He was less than cheerful. The reason why was clear, even if he’d never admit it.

A house party, however, is a perfect way for Succession creator Jesse Armstrong and director Mark Mylod to get a bunch of the show’s most important characters together in a single room as everyone tries to avoid Logan’s wrath and close a deal (of course Logan’s working on a deal during his birthday party) with a hated former rival.

After A Gripping Finale, “The Last of Us” Creators Tease Season 2 & Beyond

After the horror of “When We Are in Need,”  the eighth episode of The Last of Us, which found Ellie (Bella Ramsey) fighting off a sadistic cannibal preacher she’s forced to stab, repeatedly, in a fit of sorrow and rage, one hoped that the season finale, “Look for the Light,” would give the resilient but battered teenager a well-deserved break from carnage and horror. And, in a sense, that’s what Ellie got, but only because she’d been anesthetized into a deep sleep for an operation she was both unaware of and would never wake up from.

“The Last of Us” Finale Draws Huge Ratings as Season One Bests “House of the Dragon”

Now that the first season of The Last of Us has wrapped up, we can take a step back and marvel at not only the robust viewership numbers but what was the greatest video game adaptation (by a wide margin) and one of the most compelling new dramas on TV.
