X-Men: The Animated Series
The movie X-Men has been considered the validation that proved something like the MCU could exist, but this cartoon, I believe, was a front runner for that movie. More than most other cartoons, it brought the actual look, feel, and storytelling of comics to animated life!

During its original run, DC’s Watchmen famously proposed the idea that the people behind the mask were far from heroes. True to its text, HBO’s Watchmen masterfully explores that very same theme.

Believe it or not I’m walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free.
DetailsCastle Rock
Set in the Steven King multiverse, Castle Rock follows the community of Castle Rock, Maine. A mystical and evil force enters the town of Castle Rock, killing off the villagers. Is the series a chilling and deserving addition to the Steven King multiverse or an embarrassment that is best left forgotten? Let’s find out.
DetailsWatchmen
At this point, anyone who’s keeping up with Watchmen knows how good it is. Anyone who isn’t watching knows that they need to.

The following is a list of genre shows that have been canceled since January 1, 2019. No doubt you will already be aware of some but you might also find some surprises! Also…some interesting new series premiering between now and the end of the first quarter of 2020.
DetailsPenny Dreadful
“Penny Dreadful” is somehow as good, or greater, than the sum of its parts – even though those parts include several of the greatest works of fiction ever written – aided by a killer cast, tonnes of moody atmosphere, and John Logan’s Sorkin-esque approach to scripting (with sole writing credit throughout most of the series), bringing everything together into a cohesive whole with its own unique voice and perspective. “Penny Dreadful” is one of the greatest (most underrated) shows of the 21st century.
DetailsCrisis on Infinite Earths Crossover
The CW’s 2019-20 crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths delivers dozens of wonderful fan service moments but are these moments enough to carry the narrative? With two chapters to go, questions arise regarding the actual significance of the event as opposed to the perceived significance.
DetailsAmerican Horror Story
After having endured the Apocalypse in American Horror Story Apocalypse, Ryan Murphy felt a lighter tone was needed for season 9. Something where the stakes weren’t as high as the end of the world, something with a little more humor. Something a little less bloody — wait, scratch that last one. Bring on the blood bath!
DetailsWatchmen
Everything about this episode is angled towards increasing empathetic viewership and driving emotional understanding. And it absolutely pays off.
DetailsTitans
The second season of Titans proved to be an action-packed extravaganza in addition to a continuance of the high-level characterization of each team member that began in season 1. Great battle scenes with often disastrous repercussions brings up a troubling issue with the show not often seen in comic book related properties, though. There are a lot of Titans characters, heroes and villains alike, but you can’t kill them all off and keep a show long term.
DetailsWAR OF THE WORLDS
War of The Worlds Episode 2: (Wells, Harness, Viveiros, Spall, Carlyle, Tomlimson) the more things change the more they stay the same. As we bring the story closer to its end we see some familiar events, but spoken in an unfamiliar voice.
