Tonight, part one of the season finale of Doctor Who, written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Jamie Magnus Stone, premieres on BBC America. Earlier in the season, the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) did exactly what Jack (John Barrowman) said not to. She gave the “Lone Cyberman (Patrick O'Kane)” what he wanted: Cyberium. Now she and her friends, Yaz (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole), and Graham (Bradley Walsh), must travel to the far future to the time of the CyberWar, where only a small group of human survivors remain. Can she protect them and her friends, or will she put everyone at risk?

After two years of fans waiting, the second season of Altered Carbon, based on a series of dystopian cyberpunk novels by Richard K. Morgan, drops February 27th on Netflix. The series takes place over three hundred years in the future, where people can extend their lives indefinitely, if they have the money. The human consciousness is stored in “stacks” that can be transferred between bodies which they call sleeves, but just because people can live forever, doesn’t mean they should. These elite “Meths” (short for Methuselah) hold all the power.

The series focuses on the character of Takeshi Kovacs, played by Joel Kinnaman in season one, a former soldier of the Protectorate (future police force) who joined the rebellion after meeting and falling in love with leader Quellcrist Falconer (Renée Elise Goldsberry). Quell, who originally created stacks so she could “see the stars” and help people, did not foresee the consequences to humanity.

In season one, Quell trained her followers, called Envoys, to become warriors and take down the Protectorate. In an attempt to upload a virus into stacks that would add a code to stop humans from living more than one hundred years, they were betrayed by Tak’s sister, Reileen (Dichan Lachman), and all of the Envoys were killed, except for Kovacs. All hope, however, was not lost for our hero, who was given reason to believe Quell could be alive.

Daryl and the others must find a safe escape route while not only dodging walkers, but also a potential cave in.

Meanwhile, in the second episode, “Stalker,” who’s side is Gamma (Thora Birch) really on? Can she convince Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) and Rosita (Christian Serratos) that she’s done with Alpha? Alexandria also faces another threat when they are infiltrated while the gates are left unguarded.

The plan is to spend some time with the literary greats on the night that Mary Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein. However, as they spin some scary tales the group ends up in the middle of a real ghost story. They must not only work together to escape, but the Doctor must make a choice that could affect all of humanity’s future.

In tonight’s all-new episode of Doctor Who on BBC America, written by Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall and directed by Nida Manzoor, the trigger-happy space police, the Judoon, come to Gloucester. The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her team must not only figure out who they are looking for, but stop them from destroying the city.

To say tonight’s episode is mind-blowing is an understatement. During the premiere episode, everyone was shocked with the return of the Master, but that is nothing compared to “Fugitive of the Judoon.” I don’t want to say anything to ruin the surprises and shocks, but they are one after the other. Chibnall is really doing his best to shake things up and change the mythology of the series.

Black and Blue, which is available now, is an action-thriller that follows rookie cop Alicia (Naomie Harris) after she witnesses a fellow cop kill a drug dealer, and it’s recorded on her body camera. Fearing for her life and wanting to do the right thing, Alicia runs, intent to take down the dirty cops. However, with no one wanting involved and not knowing who to trust, she teams up with the reluctant Mouse (Tyrese Gibson) to escape criminals looking for revenge for the drug dealer’s death, as well as the corrupt police who will stop at nothing to get the footage.
