![]() Can logic or the supernatural prevail more? Therein lies the issue.Ĭast: Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, Morena Baccarin, David Harewood, Diego Klattenhoff, Jamey Sheridan, and Mandy Patinkin In the process, the show glides through exorcisms, hauntings, and miracles. A priest-in-training dives into unexplained mysteries in the Catholic Church with the help of a skeptical female mental health professional. M-O-O-N: that spells pandemic horror.Ĭast: Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, Maddy Crocco, Skylar GrayĪ dynamic that’s not unlike the central pair in the The X-Files surfaces in this series that questions where evil originates, and if that’s more from science or from religion. ![]() As with the seminal ’90s mini-series starring Gary Sinise, this version follows a group of survivors of a humanmade plague as they’re drawn either to a Godlike figure or the Devil himself, setting up the dominoes for an epic battle of good against evil for the soul of humanity. After almost a year of Covid, it hit a little too close to home, and maybe it does still, but for those brave enough, it’s an excellent version of the story. It’s just bad luck that this new adaptation of Stephen King‘s magnum opus doomsday novel landed in 2020. Genre: Post-Apocalyptic, Horror, Disaster, Fantasy Drama ![]() With all the other self-serious spy thrillers out there, it’s refreshing to see one that knows how to have fun.Ĭast: James Marsden, Whoopi Goldberg, Alexander Skarsgard, Greg Kinnear, Amber Heard, Jovan Adepo, Odessa Young, Owen Teague, Henrique Zaga, Brad William Henke, Nat Wolff, and Irene Bedard Sutherland is magic in the role, pulling together the competing tones of Very Serious Action and Super Silly Plot Complications with veteran skill. It’s a bit like 24 if Jack Bauer were having a good time instead of grousing about still being at work. In Rabbit/Hole, he plays a corporate spy who’s framed for murder and tumbles into a dizzyingly twist conspiracy. ![]() Rabbit/HoleĬast: Kiefer Sutherland, Meta Golding, Enid Graham, Rob Yang, Charles Dance, Walt Klink, and Wendy Makkenaįor fans of spy thrillers or those simply trying to reconnect with their dads, Kiefer Sutherland has got the show for you. From a far right conspiracy theorist to an ex-Mossad anti-terrorism expert, you could understand why he probably wanted interview subjects to push back on his wild character’s plan to arm children for “safety” but they didn’t, so we’re left to laugh while weeping. Returning after a long hiatus to the ambush comedy that launched his career, the characters he crafted for this series seem almost designed to be disbelieved, trying to get caught in the lie by his targets and being disappointed every time that they don’t see through his mask. It makes the most of familiar Gothic favorites, and Eva Green might be having the most fun of her career.Īrriving in 2018 for only one season, it’s easy to see Who Is America? as Sacha Baron Cohen‘s hyper-specific response to the United States electing Donald Trump as president. Set in 1891 London, it features an American showman gunslinger who is hired by an enigmatic woman and a wealthy adventurer to rescue his daughter from a dark creature. A dark warning masquerading as an invitation, the series was exquisite in both its look and its storytelling, leaning a bit into horror but mostly growling with a smile on its face. Jekyll and Frankenstein (the doctor and the monster!) seems a little stale, but Logan found the sweet spot for bringing them to modern life. Genre: Gothic Horror, Drama, Dark Fantasy Penny DreadfulĬast: Eva Green, Reeve Carney, Timothy Dalton, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper, Harry Treadway, Helen McCrory, and Josh Hartnett The series from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan starts in the pressure cooker and refuses to leave, featuring some of Renner’s finest work as the unflappably tough figure with the dubious honor of running the town. McLusky and his family stand in the middle of the street gangs, prisoners, guards, and the cops, attempting to keep all hell from breaking loose. Luckily, the “Mayor” Mike McLusky knows this, but that doesn’t mean that bending the rules or keeping the peace is simple in a town where the most popular occupation is prison guard. What’s more important: rules or peace? You can’t have both in Kingstown. Cast: Jeremy Renner, Dianne Wiest, Hugh Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley, Aidan Gillen, and Kyle Chandler
