But it turns out he was shot with riot shells meant to seriously slow you down in…
This week, CBS aired the pilot episode of its new show Zoo, titled “First Blood.” Reminiscent of disaster/apocalypse movies and the action/thriller genre of TV, this series nonetheless brings a fresh look to the theme of a changing world.

True Detective is quite a beast of a TV show. It teaches us what it takes to be a detective. Firstly, you must be an incredibly screwed up individual.
