While Black Mirror is an anthology show, there are enough Easter eggs and recurring themes to place them on a timeline. “Striking Vipers” has the most connections to season 3’s “Playtest”, although the final narrative outcomes are much different for the main players involved. Black Mirror season 3’s “Playtest” focuses on a test gone wrong....

Director Chad Stahelski thinks his planned movie reboot of Highlander could morph into a TV show instead.

It’s come to this: the final mission in Hitman 2 sees Agent 47 heading to the Isle of Sgàil and looking to put an end to the Ark Society, an Illuminati-like cult.

Hogan’s Heroes is one of the most brilliant masterpieces of television to emerge from the 1960s. This show managed to make fun of Germans and make certain situations of wartime lighthearted, which is no easy feat. The setting is in a German POW camp during World War 2, featuring the sly and smart Colonel Hogan (Bob Crane), the incompetent camp commandant Klink (Werner Klemperer) and the sweet but misguided sergeant-of-the-guard Schultz (John Banner)....

A Hogan’s Heroes sequel series is in the works. While a revival of a show from the 1960s, set in a World War II German prisoner of war camp, might seem like an odd choice, reboots and re-imaginations are becoming as common on the small screen as they are across movie theaters. Debuting in 1965, and airing until 1971, Hogan’s Heroes was a CBS sitcom that centered around U.S. Colonel Robert Hogan....
