From Kayti Burt of Den of the Geek:

Link: Wynonna & Doc’s relationship status in Wynonna Earp Season 3
Wynonna and Doc’s relationship on Wynonna Earp has always been a complicated one, and the birth and departure of Baby Alice did little to simplify the dynamic. Heading into Season 3, what can we expect from the pair of sometimes-lovers? Den of Geek talked to the Wynonna Earp crew during last month’s ATX TV Festival to find out… Continue reading.

Link: A cult show’s recipe for success: Whiskey, Twitter and complex women

From Maureen Ryan of The New York Times:

Link: A cult show’s recipe for success: Whiskey, Twitter and complex women
A fan encounter at the first EarperCon UK in London last year brought up none of those things. Rather than discuss an obscure plot point, a young woman wanted to share how the show, which has a number of L.G.B.T. characters, had helped her come out to her father, who brought her to the convention.

From Kelly Townsend of The TV Junkies:

Link: Reboot: The Guardian Code stars on expanding the Reboot universe
Reboots and revivals are television’s new niche these days, resurrecting old fan favourites for new audiences. It’s only natural, then, that the creators behind the classic CGI series Reboot would pay homage to its own title with a reboot of its very own. Continue reading.

Comments and queries for the week of July 6

On Monday, July 2, Michael made a stuffed dessert with filo dough and he made them in half moon shape. I did not get the name but would like the recipe. Thanks. —Virginia

Hi Virginia. Here’s the link to the sweet half-moon pastries recipe Michael Bonacini made on a recent episode of Bonacini’s Italy. Enjoy!


I am a 76-year-old living in northern Canada. I have been watching Daily Planet since cable arrived at my residence many years ago and watching it at midnight as a “cool down” to the day. I am extremely disappointed that the show has been cancelled. I suspect not much in the way of financing has been provided to the show as of late. I thought that Bell and other TV providers were supposed to bring a percentage of Canadian perspective to channels. So what is to replace it to provide that? Enough of U.S. reality shows. Unfortunately, all my telecommunications are provided by Bell subsidiaries and difficult to abandon. —Richard

I agree with ALL! Bell has been nothing but a pain in my rear and this show was the perfect relaxing thing my family of six had at the PERFECT time of the evening. Great job Daily Planet cast, and—sarcastically—great job Bell and broadcasters. —Justin

Preview: Shade and Angie play house on Private Eyes

It’s been a few weeks since I previewed Private Eyes—a couple of curve balls in real-life coupled with a preemption last Sunday thanks to Canada Day—but I’m back on the case (see what I did there) with this Sunday’s new instalment.

Here’s what Global has released as the official synopsis for “The Hills Have Eyes,” written by Derek Schreyer and directed by Anne Wheeler:

Hired by a precocious young boy convinced his missing neighbour was murdered, thanks to suspicious footage from his new drone, Shade and Angie are forced to go undercover and play house in hopes of separating the truth from the gossip.

And, as always, a few further notes from me after watching a screener:

A great mystery
Kudos to Derek Schreyer for penning a great script. From the moment 12-year-old Tyler used a unique way of hiring Angie and Shade, I was all in. Actor Anton Gillis-Adelman has a great chemistry with his older co-stars. Speaking of the adults, a stakeout provides the backdrop for Shade and Angie’s heart-to-heart on who could live in suburbia. And a backyard picnic makes for some hilarious—and super-awkward—conversation.

And great visuals
A hearty bow to director Anne Wheeler, who captures some truly memorable and unique shots never seen on Private Eyes before.

There’s a new menu at the diner
And it’s making me hungry. Also? We get some tasty backstory regarding Shona’s personal life thanks to some detective work by Don.

Private Eyes airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Global.
