Introduction

Every week, we are treated to a wide variety of new TV shows, movies, and series. As a pop culture enthusiast, I thrive on the hype and excitement that comes with each new release. This week, we will be reviewing a few shows that have garnered a lot of attention recently: Community, Battlestar Galactic: Blood and Chrom, and Side Effect.

Community: Dan Harmon’s departure and what to expect from the new season

Community is a smart and funny sitcom that has gained a cult following over the years. The show was created by Dan Harmon and ran for five seasons before it was canceled. Despite its low ratings, fans rallied for its return, and now the show is back for a fourth season.

However, Dan Harmon is no longer the showrunner, and two of the executive producers have left as well. Despite this, the first episode of the new season is as “community-ish” as ever, featuring structural and satirical elements that have become the show’s trademark.

The characters are still dealing with the fallout from last season’s events, and we see Troy and Britta still together while Abed is facing his own problems. Community is set to air on Friday nights, and while it may not have the highest ratings, fans are sure to DVR it regardless.

Battlestar Galactic: Blood and Chrom – a prequel on TV movie

Battlestar Galactica is a beloved show, and fans were excited when they heard about Blood and Chrom, a prequel TV movie set in the same universe. The show follows a young Bill Adama as he becomes a Viper pilot.

Originally released in ten installments on Machinima, the show is now airing as a two-hour TV movie, and fans are hopeful that it will become a series if enough people tune in. While it may not reach the heights of the original show, Blood and Chrom is sure to satisfy fans of the franchise.

Side Effect: Steven Soderbergh’s last movie before his filmmaking hiatus

Steven Soderbergh has been on a productive streak lately, releasing an impressive number of films. His latest movie is Side Effect, a psychological thriller that uses the pharmaceutical industry as its backdrop.

Featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Channing Tatum, Side Effect is a gripping and intense film that is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. This may be Soderbergh’s last film before he takes a filmmaking hiatus, so be sure to catch it while you can.
