8. 24. 18 Hello everyone! I said I wanted to do a television series review. There are so many new shows that come out year after year, but only a few make it to green pastures. HBO’s The Deuce is one of those shows. I and my good friend, Elizabeth have watched the first season and we just finished watching it again before the second season starts early next month. So Lizzie is going to do the review of the series. Shelley and I have rewatched the first season of this series just to renew…OK, who are we kidding we liked the show.

Wednz Scene: Marvel’s Inhumans

Published by

August 16 / 17 Hey again….with new tv shows coming next month, I wanted to start off with Marvel’s Inhumans. This is based on a group of superhumans with superpowers of course. Let’s dive a little deeper….   The Inhumans are a fictional race of superhumans appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The comic book series has usually focused more specifically on the adventures of the Inhuman Royal Family, and many people associate the name “Inhumans” with this particular team of super-powered characters. – Wikipedia The Inhumans made their first debut in December 1965 in Fantastic Four#45.  The core members of the Inhumans: Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, Gorgan, Triton, Crystal, Maximus the Mad, The Unspoken, and Lockjaw. I’m sure some of you have seen the previews for the upcoming show, but for those of you who didn’t take a look at these….       The 8 part episode live-action series will premiere on ABC in September 2017. The first two episodes will be screened in IMAX theaters on September 1 for two weeks. Come back for Weekend Scene this Saturday.  Enjoy …
