Some Good TV Shows Are Coming Back!
The finale of X-Men ’97 dropped today, but I can’t watch it until my viewing buddy gets online later tonight. So expect my season review List of Six tomorrow! Today, I’ll busy myself with some trailers for some TV shows I like.
For example, turns out they’re making a second season of The Rings of Power! Not everybody enjoyed that show, but I definitely did, and I’m looking forward to a second season!
I enjoyed the first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, despite the clunky name. It had plenty of great LoTR elements, and I really enjoyed the mysterious figure and the proto-hobbits. This trailer leans far far more into the death, evil and destruction side of things, which is fine. But hopefully the whimsy isn’t gone forever.
The Rings of Power returns to Amazon Prime on Aug. 29.
Also, did you see that LEGO has announced an Eye of Sauron/Barad-dur set? Holy crap!
Moving on, there’s going to be a fourth season of Only Murders in the Building!
I enjoy this show as well! Though a lot of people do, so it’s definitely not Rings of Power. The three leads have great chemistry and are super fun together. And I enjoy the mystery element as well. I actually guessed the killer right in one of the seasons! Then guessed wrong in the other two seasons. Oh well. This looks like a lot of fun and can’t wait to return to the show!
Only Murders in the Building season 4 returns to Hulu on Aug. 27.

New Season of The Boys is Gonna Be Gnarly
The Boys is a pretty great show. I enjoyed the comic, but the show has definitely deviated a ton from the comics and is its own thing. And that thing is hugely entertaining! We got a trailer yesterday for the upcoming fourth season!
I don’t remember if the fourth season will be the last or not…probably not? But it looks awesome, looks to be more goodness, and the students from Gen V are mixed in there as well. That should be a hoot! The whole thing should be a ton of fun to watch and I can’t wait.
Oh, also, happy Star Wars Day! I don’t have anything Star Warsy to share…definitely gonna watch Tales of the Sith this weekend.
The Boys new season comes to Amazon Prime on June 13.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Fallout
Like many people, I had my doubts about a Fallout TV show. Video game adaptations have a bad reputation, even though I still have faith in most of them. And I love Fallout as much as the next gamer. So could they pull it off? Could they make it work? Apparently, they can knock it out of the goddam park!
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
I was a little worried after seeing the first teaser trailer for the Fallout show, but the second trailer was awesome and I was fully on board. I don’t think Amazon Prime should have released the whole show in one day, I think Fallout could have benefited from a weekly release, but those choices aren’t mine to make. I managed to finally watch all the episodes this week so it’s now review time!
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review on the first season of Fallout. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show! And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

We got a new trailer yesterday for the upcoming Fallout TV show, and I like this trailer a lot better than the first one. This trailer really shows off the world and plot of Fallout, from the Vault Dweller stuff to the Brotherhood of Steel to so much more. This is a great-looking trailer for a great-looking show!
I love the look of this. All of the iconography is perfect. The mood is perfect. Walter Goggins is going to really bring it! I really like the transition of the Vault Dweller from beginning to end. Everything looks solid!
And awesome news: every single episode of Fallout will be available on the same day, when it launches on Amazon Prime on April 11!

Cartoon Trailer Monday!
Last week was a great week for cartoon trailers. And if I was more on my game, I should have posted about these last week. That’s on me. I’m sure everybody’s already seen these trailers, but you haven’t heard my thoughts on them yet!
First up is the big one, X-Men ’97. Everybody’s been talking about this all weekend, and of course I’m excited for this show. I lived off of the original X-Men animated series, so I am here for this!
Looks wonky but manageable. Not sure bringing back the same voice cast was the best idea. Not sure whatever they’re doing with the animation was the best idea. But their heart seems to be in the right place. Seems like they’ve got some solid stories lined up, and that Daily Bugle flapping in the breeze at the start of the trailer showed Maggott and Stacy X, and if those two characters appear for real in this show, then I’m going to automatically consider it a success.
Also, I am 110% behind everything they’re doing with Morph. Making them nonbinary is a great idea. And I love their new blank face/AoA Morph look. The Morph serialized story from the original show was always really impressive to me, and I’m excited to see them as a solid member of the team now.
X-Men ’97 comes to Disney+ on March 20.
Next up is the trailer for the second half of season two of Invincible. Loved everything so far, love the comic series, so bring it on!
Looks great! I recognize some of the storylines and characters from the comics, and then there’s stuff I’ve forgotten about. I’m confident that the people behind Invincible know exactly what they’re doing and they’re going to pull it off splendidly. So everybody just keep up the good work and get it done!
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on March 14.
Lastly, our first look at Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I loved Mutant Mayhem as much as the next person, so I’m on board with those show.
Looks fun. Looks a little cheaply animated, but I can live with that. I don’t actually know if I’ll watch this show. I haven’t watched an ongoing Ninja Turtles cartoon in a very long time. They’re mostly for kids for real. And that’s how it should be! Let kids enjoy the Ninja Turtles. But if it’s as good as the movie, I might try this out.
Tales of the TMNT comes to Paramount+ this summer.
