Mark Young myoung@foghornnews.com @foghornmark   “Veep” may have outgrown its name, but it sure hasn’t outgrown its relevancy, even in a time when politics have reached a new level of crazy. Julia Louis-Dreyfus continues to be irreverent and unstoppable as Selena Meyer, who in Season 6 finds herself clawing for relevancy and attention. The new season picks up with Meyer trying to establish herself post-presidency. She was previously a vice president who took over after the president stepped down for personal issues, only to have her re-election end in a tie and subsequent loss. Now, Meyer is running a charity…

Azrael Montoya amontoya@foghornnews.com After the conclusion of the Mad City story arc we once again return to the city of Gotham with this new story arc called “Heroes Rise” in “How the Riddler Got His Name” in the mid Season 3 premiere on April 24.  After numerous references to the Killing Joke storyline in the comics and myriad head games in the battle of young Bruce (David Mazouz) vs. Jerome (who could be thought of as reflections of each other), the audience is plunged into Edward Nygma’s (Cory Micheal Smith) identity crisis. In this mid Season 3 premiere, I really enjoyed…

The first film, which starred Liam Neeson, has been considered one of the greatest action films of all time, but the sequels that came after fell flat and couldn’t match the charm of the first. Clive Standen fills the shoes of Neeson, portraying a young Mills, and has a lot to prove on the first few episodes. Early reactions to the show had people already dismissing it, but in the…

Jonathan Garcia jgarcia@foghornnews.com “Legion” is Marvel’s latest show on FX based off the X-Men character of the same name. Created by Noah Hawley, known for writing and making “Fargo” the television show, it takes a crack at this show that is in the same universe with the X-Men films. This show isn’t your typical superhero movie/show; it has been advertised as finding out what this show is exactly about and that’s what makes this show a breath of fresh air. David Haller (Dan Stevens) has been diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child and has been in and out of psychiatric…

Katie Babbitt kbabbitt@foghornnews.com “24” was an amazing show that has given “24: Legacy” big shoes to fill, and right now those shoes are oversized. It feels like this show is a son walking around in his father’s work boots and fumbling over. The plot of “24: Legacy” follows Eric Carter, played by Corey Hawkins, and his return to America as a war hero. Unfortunately, the trouble he faces overseas comes home with him. Carter has to ask the CTU for help saving him, all the while working to fight off a large-scale terrorist attack led by Muslims. Yes, while “24:…
