There you have it guys, the list of what is happening in the TV world for 2016-17.
H.G. Wells (Freddie Stroma) & Jack the Ripper (Josh Bowman)
Time After Time is an upcoming American drama set to air on the ABC network sometime in 2016, created by Kevin Williamson ( The Following, Scream, The Vampire Diaries and I Know What You Did Last Summer) and directed by Marcos Siega (Blindspot, The Following, Dexter and The Vampire Diaries) is based on the book and film of the same name. The series is set to star Freddie Stroma (UnREAL, Pitch Perfect, Harry Potter) as H.G. Wells, Josh Bowman (Revenge, Make it or Break it) as John Stevenson/Jack the Ripper, Genesis Rodriguez (Entourage, Identify Thief) as Jane, Regina Taylor (DIG, The Unit) as Vanessa Anders.
The series is set in London, 1893, H.G. Wells destined to become a famed science fiction author, however on this evening he is just a little known writer struggling to get his work published. Wells invites his intellectual friends to show off his new invention – a time machine, but never suspects his late arriving guest, surgeon and good friend John Stevenson, is the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper. When the police arrive looking for him, John sneaks into the time machine and flees to modern-day Manhattan with Wells in hot pursuit. It’s there Wells meets Jane Walker, a charming museum curator, who’s about to die in the hands of John if Wells doesn’t stop him in time.
Wells has a fascinating point of view on today’s society but in order to fit in he needs to be able play the game, as a dreamer and a huge believer in utopia, Wells is terribly disappointed to find out that the world in 2016 is in fact nothing like he had imagined in his novels.
I have always had a keen interest in all things Jack the Ripper and have seen many documentaries on him but there has never really been a tv drama about him so it has really peaked my interest and H.G Well is a great added bonus. For me its a must watch even before I had seen the trailer and having watched the trailer it has only heighten my interest, if you’re a fan of H.G Wells and/or fascinated with Jack the Ripper then I think this will be a must watch show for you.
Here is a little teaser for you all.
ABC’s fall line-up revealed that their seminal Marvel-show Agents of SHIELD, will move to a later time slot at in an effort to be in lieu with Netflix‘s darker comic-book offerings.
Speaking with the press, ABC President Channing Dungey explained the move in order “to go a little bit edgier, go a little darker and take some risks.“
Although Agents of SHIELD has found its audience. The show has never been the ratings success that ABC hoped for back in 2013. Debuting with an 8pm time slot, the show was soon moved to 9 before ultimately finding itself at 10pm for season 4, effectively losing the kids market.
The channel is in no doubt seeking a new audience in leaning towards the dark side. But a change in tone would put Agents of SHIELD in step with Netflix’s already mature superhero shows like Daredevil, Jessica Jones and their upcoming Luke Cage and Iron Fist ventures.
With regards to future of Marvel television on ABC, Dungey revealed that “We are in extensive conversations with Marvel. I had a really long talk with Dan Buckley from Marvel last week. We’re very excited about a few things we have in development. We think there’s a long future ahead and excited to explore it together.”
Specifics aren’t clear as to what exactly ABC have planned. But even with the throughly popular Agent Carter receiving its marching orders last week, it seems that the network are still committed to producing Marvel centric shows on their programming for the foreseeable future.

SN5E22: Only You
Written By: Andrew Chambliss & David H. Goodman
Directed By: Romeo Tirone
SN5E23: An Untold Story
Written By: Adam Horowitz & Edward Kitsis
Directed By: Dean Wright
I’m combining the two episodes into one review. It seems only fair since ABC combined both episodes into one finale.
I was really relieved to be able to watch this finale. You see, when it looked like they were going to kill off Hook, I said I’d never watch the show again if they didn’t figure out a way to get him out of the Underworld. I’m so glad they did, otherwise I’m just stubborn enough to quit watching.
After the miraculous appearance of Hook in the cemetery, I must admit that I spent this whole two hours waiting for Robin to appear out of nowhere. Sadly, I was disappointed. Hook was no sooner back and in Emma’s arms though, before (thanks to Gold) he was jerked from her arms and sent to the Land of Untold Stories… along with The Charmings and Zelena.
The build up was slow going. In fact, it took them two hours to kick us in the head with an enormous OMG moment… even if I saw it coming. When they decided to give Regina the Dr. Jekyll antidote, I knew things were gonna go South. It’s Psych 101 that you need all three (the Id, the Ego, and the Superego) to be in balance so that you stay… well … balanced. Now, obviously I’m a writer not Sigmund Freud so I don’t know which one the Evil Queen is, but if I had to hazard a guess, I’d go with the Superego. But, all psycho-babble aside, I knew this was gonna go bad for Charmings & Company. I mean, didn’t you all see it going bad when Regina and Emma had to work with Gold?
Henry was such a big part of the show in earlier seasons, but he’s been on the shelf (so to speak) for a while now. So, it was nice to see a Henry-centric episode for the first half of the finale. After all, he’s the “reason” we have the show to begin with, right? He’s our starry eyed dreamer that keeps us all believing in fairy tales. And, in this episode he got a few jaded New Yorkers to believe too.
In these episodes, we were introduced to some new characters that will obviously play a big part in Season 6… or at least the first part of it. The whole Untold Stories arc should be interesting. Maybe we’ll see a lot of those stories that aren’t quite fairy tales, but still legend – wait for it – dary. Oh, and it looks like next season we’re going to get a DRAGON! *fingers crossed*.
Call me a dreamer, but I’m still holding out hope we’ll see Robin again.
Shut up, it can happen!
