Sometimes, less is more. But sometimes, there’s delirious pleasure in heaping more upon more. Like, for example, when you take a perfectly wonderful candy bar—a symphony itself of caramel, nougat, peanuts, and chocolate—and freeze it onto a stick, then dip the thing in batter and deep-fry it. On paper, even to a lover of sweets,…
Ever since BBC America started advertising its “Mugshot Yourself” app on Copper, I’ve been meaning to go over and do it. Well, I finally got around to it. What do you think? Back in the 1800s, as we can see from Buzzfeed, mugshots were way cooler. So why not share yours? Go over to the…
Back to school means the return of many of our favorite TV shows. Major Crimes, Copper, and Grimm have already started, and we’ll have to wait until 2013 for BBC’s Sherlock, but plenty more premieres await in the golden months ahead. Will Castle and Beckett’s relationship grow or disintegrate as a result of their tryst?…
Last week, in the debut episode of BBC America’s Copper, we found out who murdered poor, innocent little Kate Reilly. (It couldn’t have been telegraphed more clearly if Samuel F.B. Morse himself had been at the controls.) So this week, our hero Kevin “Corky” Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones), Metropolitan Police detective, is out to avenge Kate’s…
Full disclosure: I had low expectations for Copper, the BBC America original series that debuted last night. The hype surrounding its premiere made me wonder just who the network believed was the audience for this historical police procedural set in Civil War-era New York City. (I mean, honestly, they had the cast ringing the closing…
You know how excited we are about the forthcoming BBC America series Copper. In fact, we’re so excited we are even going to share this promo we found over on Spoiler TV, despite the fact that it has ads attached that we cannot remove. So we apologize for that, but isn’t it cool?? UPDATE: Thank…
As a licensed New York City tour guide, whenever I waxed rhapsodic about my particular area of interest, nineteenth century New York City, tourists assumed everything about New York City then—and even now—was summed up in the film Gangs of New York. Well. . . no. The storylines presented in Gangs of New York only…
Our pals at Omnimystery News, who brought this funny teaser to our attention, note wryly that it’s “really really brief.” That’s one way to put it! Mostly big words and names spelled in red letters, as for actual footage of the look and feel of the show, don’t blink or you’ll miss four whole seconds…
It seems like forever ago when we heard about BBC America’s first original series Copper, set in New York City’s Five Points neighborhood in the late 1860’s, just after the Civil War. Well, it’s currently in production on a giant soundstage in Toronto—Martin Scorcese built his version for Gangs of New York at an Italian…
We mentioned when it was first announced that BBC America would be diving headlong into the police drama fray with its first original series ever, Copper. Now that the final casting is set, and the release date (summer), I’ve already begun to salivate. Especially given the intriguing description of the series over at the BBCA…
