Creating a horror television show is a tricky feat. It requires balancing the right amount of shock-and-gore along with compelling characters to keep fans clamoring for more – and Netflix’s HEMLOCK GROVE delivers on both. Helmed by horror master Eli Roth and based on the terrifying world created in Brian McGreevly’s book, HEMLOCK GROVE weaves together characters that raise the hair on the back of your neck yet draw you in deeper and deeper into a supernatural mystery story.
When a young teenage girl is found mauled to death, fear and suspicions abound as a gypsy boy (Landon Liboiron) is rumored to be a werewolf. Peter and his mother (Lili Taylor) had recently moved to Hemlock Grove in hopes of settling there after his uncle’s death; but their heritage makes them unwelcome in a community that seeks to keep its deep, dark secrets buried. Reigning over the town is the ultra rich Godfrey family, who prey on the unsuspecting populace. Everyone feels a slight unease with the Godfrey family, who despite their glamor remain aloof; not to mention they own a medical facility that is thought to house untold scientific experiments.
Just who or what is stalking their youth, and how do the Godfreys and the gypsies figure into the lurking sense of unnaturalness surrounding them, those are the mysteries that slowly unfold throughout the 13-episode horror series.
During press interviews at WonderCon in Anaheim, executive producers Eli Roth, Mark Verheiden, Lee Shipman, along with director Deran Sarafian and author Brian McGreevy provided some insight into murder, mystery and intrigue that layer HEMLOCK GROVE. [Read more…]

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. Less acknowledged is the reality that the Big 5 networks of television are also falling by the wayside due to their dinosaurian programming slates.
