Mini-Series of the Week Recommendation: The Hot Zone

May 23, 2019 by Rueben

The National Geographic 3-night event series The Hot Zone will debut on May 27 at 9 PM.

Based on the eponymous international best-seller by Richard Preston, the 3-part series recounts the terrifying true story of the origins of the Ebola virus, a highly infectious deadly virus from the central African rain forest, and its first arrival on U.S. soil.

In 1989, when this killer suddenly appeared in chimpanzees in a scientific lab in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., there was no known cure. A heroic U.S. Army veterinarian working with a secret military SWAT team put herself in mortal peril when she tried to head off the outbreak before it spread to the human population.

The cast includes Julianna Margulies, Nick Searcy, Robert Sean Leonard, Topher Grace, James D’Arcy, Liam Cunningham, Noah Emmerich and Robert Wisdom.

NOTE: The show will air its second and third episodes at 9 PM on May 28 and May 29.

Here is a trailer for The Hot Zone:

New Show Introduction: Doom Patrol

May 20, 2019 by Rueben

On May 24, the new DC Universe series Doom Patrol will debut online.

This is a re-imagining of one of DC’s most beloved groups of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman (Brendan Fraser), Negative Man (Matt Bomer), Elasti-Girl (April Bowlby) and Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero) led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder aka The Chief (Timothy Dalton). The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities – but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence – and to protect Earth from what they find.

Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of Titans, the show will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.

The cast includes Alan Tudyk and Joivan Wade.

Here is an extended trailer for Doom Patrol:
