Doctor Who’s multi-platform event, “Doom’s Day”, is off to an uneven start; an intriguing premise with uneven execution.

Daniel Kraus’ “Whalefall” offers a tense, thrilling, and emotional exploration of grief and survival – all inside the belly of a whale.

“Jules” delivers an otherworldly look at loneliness, hope, and a second chance at connection. It’s funny, heartbreaking, and unforgettable.

Good Omens returns with a second season that’s packed with romance, comedy, and an amnesiac angel with a supernatural mystery to unravel.

Emily Jane’s “On Earth as It Is on Television” offers a wholly unique, absurd, and emotional take on the well-worn First Contact genre.

Christopher Paolini’s “Fractal Noise” offers a rumination on overcoming grief with a tense, paranoid sci-fi thriller wrapping.

Big Finish Production’s celebration of Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary begins with a story that’s equal parts promising and disappointing.

T.J. Klune’s “In the Lives of Puppets” delivers a warm, cozy retelling of a familiar story with a surprisingly dark undercurrent.

Howard Berger and Marshall Julius’ “Masters of Make-Up Effects” offers a love letter to practical effects and the artists that create them.

“Schmigadoon” returns with a new season lambasting the musicals of the 1960s and 1970s. It’s campy, it’s heartfelt, and it’s so much fun.
