By late 2000, reality television was considered must-see entertainment by millions. Whether it was the drama and backstabbing tribal exploits of Survivor or Regis Philbin asking for the “final answer” on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, this boob tube subgenre was all the rage worldwide. Meanwhile, Japan has always been known for their off the wall, physically demanding gameshows like Takeshi’s Castle and Kunoichi.

Writer-director Maurice Devereaux (End of the Line) rode the wave of reality TV in an ocean of Japanese game show craziness on a surfboard crafted from The Running Man to bring the world $la$hers in 2001. And thanks to Terror Vision, who have been on a roll with their releases lately, we have a chance to revisit this Canadian direct-to-video flick. Despite how the title sounds, it is not supposed to be a straight-on horror film, but a satire in a horror film’s clothing, so to speak.

Network: Wgn America.

Episodes: Six (hour).

Seasons: One.

TV show dates: July 9, 2019 — August 3, 2019.

Series status: Ended.

Performers include: Peter Coyote, Camille Sullivan, Aden Young, Joanne Kelly, Micheline Lanctôt, Michael Riendeau, Kevin Parent, and Neil Napier.

Wgn America has been running TV series which first ran in other countries, in lieu of programming developed for the cable network. The newest entry in that category is The Disappearance TV show, which originally ran on CTV. Even if it is a success on Wgn America though, it is unlikely to be picked up for another season, since it wound up being a miniseries in Canada. While we don't have to spend much time wondering if The Disappearance will be cancelled or renewed for season two, we're still keeping an eye on the ratings to give us comparisons for other Wgn TV series, so stay tuned.

Can the Sullivan family stick together during the first season of the The Disappearance TV show on Wgn America? As we know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like The Disappearance is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because of that, many viewers are frustrated their viewing habits and opinions weren't considered before the decision was made to end The Disappearance with one season. We care what you think, so we invite you to rate all of The Disappearance episodes for us here.

If you're looking for light summer entertainment on broadcast television, look no further than Blood & Treasure.

The Indiana Jones-esque series is fun, adventurous, pretty to look at, and features witty repartee between the leads that sells very well.

The series follows Danny McNamara (Matt Barr) as a former FBI agent turned antiquities hunter who gets reined by his mentor to hunt down a friend and fellow treasure hunter who goes missing in Egypt shortly after discovering the tomb of Antony and Cleopatra.

If that's doesn't sound exciting enough for you, Danny requests the aid of his former girlfriend and art thief, Lexi (Sofia Pernas) who is the yin to his yang.

While Danny is level headed and works within the lines (such that they are in his line of work), Lexi works with a lot more flash and brute force.

Syfy's Arctic-set, pandemic-themed, sci-fi/horror series "Helix" became infamous last year for it's sheer craziness. Character and plot curveballs were thrown fast left and right to the point that it didn't make a whole lot of sense - especially towards the end.

The network has now released a new trailer for the show's second season which moves the action to a mysterious tropical island where a science-based cult is falling victim to a disease which Dr. Alan Farragut (Billy Campbell) and his team investigates.

Steven Weber looks to be essentially taking on the Hiroyuki Sanada role this time of the scientist in charge of the isolated locale who isn't letting on as to the extent of his involvement.

How the Ilaria group and the events of the finale tie into this is unknown at this point, but Julia (Kyra Zagorsky), Sarah (Jordan Hayes) and Peter (Neil Napier) are all returning.

By the time Season 1 ended, we were pretty disappointed in Syfy's "Helix," but some casting news for Season 2 has come in along with a few more details of what's ahead for the members of the Cdc so we thought we'd pass it on.

From the Press Release:

Syfy has announced that Steven Weber (pictured; "Wings," "Murder in the First") and Matt Long ("Mad Men," "Jack and Bobby") have joined the cast of its mysterious viral thriller "Helix."

The second season of "Helix" finds the doctors of the Centers for Disease Control, still haunted by the Narvik outbreak and the events that took place in Arctic Biosystems, investigating a deadly outbreak of a new disease on a Windjammer cruise ship. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious island inhabited by a cult with the hope of creating a utopian society.

Filming for the series’ 13-episode second season is currently under way in Montreal,...

Stars: Billy Campbell, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kyra Zagorsky, Mark Ghanimé, Jordan Hayes, Meegwun Fairbrother, Neil Napier, Luciana Carro, Chimwemwe Miller | Created by Cameron Porsandeh | Produced by Ronald D. Moore

Helix, the latest series from Ronald D. Moore (creator of Battlestar Galactica), follows a team of scientists from the Centres for Disease Control who travel to a research facility in the Arctic to investigate a potential outbreak of disease. While there, they find themselves stuck in a life-or-death situation that could decide the fate of the future of mankind.

I’ll be honest, I never really got Ronald Moore’s version of Battlestar Galactica – for me the show was all about the huge adventure of space, not the small arguments between the humans exploring the cast galaxies. I was obviously in the minority as the show had, and still has, a very vocal following amongst fans. I was hoping that this latest sci-fi show,...

To mark the release of Helix Season 1 on 30th June, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on DVD.

Helix is an intense thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that holds the key to mankind’s salvation or total annihilation.

Executive produced by Ronald D. Moore (TV’s “Battlestar Galactica”), Steven Maeda (TV’s “Lost,” “CSI: Miami,” “The X-Files”), who also serves as showrunner, and Lynda Obst (Contact), Helix was created by co-executive producer Cameron Porsandeh and stars an ensemble cast, including Billy Campbell (TV’s “The Killing”), Hiroyuki Sanada (The Wolverine), Kyra Zagorsky (TV’s “Motive”), Mark Ghanimé (TV’s “The Hunters”), Jordan Hayes (House at the End of the Street), Cat Lemieux (White House Down...

A team of scientists in the Arctic find themselves face-to-face with an adversary that, if unleashed on the world, could destroy life as we know it. Though it may sound similar to John Carpenter’s The Thing, Syfy’s original series Helix is its own creature… and a mutated, infectious one at that. With all thirteen of its first season episodes having aired earlier this year, Helix is now headed to Blu-ray and DVD, with a generous amount of bonus features for fans to enjoy.

According to Blu-ray.com, Helix: The Complete First Season will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on July 1st via Syfy and Sony Pictures Television. In addition to showcasing all the high-tension carnage in beautiful high-definition, the Blu-ray & DVD release of Helix comes with bonus features galore:

Airs Fridays at 10 Pm on Syfy

Since the Cdc’s arrival at Arctic Biosystems 13 days ago, a lot has happened, starting from Dr. Walker’s infection and Dr. Boyle’s death to Dr. Jordan gaining immortality and Sergio changing sides. Throughout it all, the members of the facility have been in constant danger, whether from the vectors, Dr. Hatake, or the Ilaria corporation. The situation comes to a head in the season finale as the survivors try to escape from The Scythe and his associates, in a jam-packed conclusion to the season that leaves the show with a lot of promise.

The reveal of Peter as an Ilaria mole adds a very interesting wrinkle to the situation. Given what we have learned of the contentious relationship between Dr.

The explosive "Helix" Season 1 finale that aired last night left many unanswered questions. Fortunately, if you're curious about the answers to said questions, you already know Season 2 is on its way in 2015. Here's a quick teaser to further whet your appetite for what happens next.

The series is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Kaji Productions, and Lynda Obst Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television.

Helix, Season 1, Episode 11: “Black Rain”

Written by Tiffany Greshler and Javier Grillo-Marxuach

Directed by Jeremiah Chechik

Airs Fridays at 10 Pm on Syfy

While Dr. Hatake’s murder of Constance Sutton worked in bringing Dr. Walker out of danger, it seemed unlikely at the time that the Ilaria Corporation would let something like this go. This idea only deepened with the revelation that the company’s ex-coo was part of an elite group of Immortals running the company. This week sees Arctic Biosystems suffer the consequences of Sutton’s death, in an exciting episode that adds a new dynamic to the inhabitants of the base while reducing a major threat.

The ability to seemingly transfer immortality is a fascinating development this week. This is significant particularly in relation to the vectors, all of whom were also dosed with Rna proteins that appear to be...

Just two episodes remain in Season 1 of "Helix," and things are getting really tense up in the Arctic. This batch of stills and a sneak peek of Episode 1.12, "The Reaping," hold a few clues of how things are going to work out for our folks from the Cdc.

Day 10! Tonight we get to see Day 10 of Syfy‘s absolutely exceptional and addicting Helix. Only four more episodes this season. If you haven’t been watching, get on it! Considering all the twists and turns this show has taken in nine episodes, so far the only non-surprise reveal was last week’s reveal at the end. Of course maybe it was only meant to be a reveal to Julia. I can’t wait to see if that obnoxious scientist guy will try to get away with the virus in a shaving cream can. Need. More. Now.

Here’s a little something to tide us over until tonight:

Helix, Season 1, Episode 09: “Level X”

Written by Sean Crouch

Directed by Bradley Walsh

Airs Fridays at 10 Pm on Syfy

Despite the threat of Constance Sutton and the Illaria corporation overshadowing proceedings at the facility over the past two days, the threat of the Narvik virus continues to be a pressing concern, with a cure still nowhere in sight. With Dr. Walker now back with the rest of the team, this week’s episode sees the non-infected inhabitants of the facility make their first strike against the infected group, in a tense episode that sees unlikely characters form alliances in pursuit of a larger goal.

The apparent ascension of Peter to leadership role among the infected is a fascinating development. Not much is known about those infected by the Narvik virus so far, but their discovery and descent into Level X this week, as well as the display of a clear hierarchical structure,...

With "Helix" Season 1 winding down, viewers are gonna want some answers, and that seems to be what's in store for us in Episode 1.10, "Fushigi." Per usual the photos provided by Syfy don't reveal much, but we also have the first five minutes and a preview of the ep.

Noooooo not Day 9 already! I mean, of course, Yay, Day 9! 5 more episodes of this completely addictive, creepy, smart, twisty, so mysterious, excellent season of Helix. I say “season” because Syfy simply must renew this show. Must. I just wish they’d stop making us wait so long to celebrate.

And by the way, when I wrote “get a head start” in last week’s post, I had no idea it would end up being a pun. This week I’m calling the “ahead” reference an “homage.” Thanks for the absolutely excellent work, Jeri Ryan.

We're kind of surprised more of our readers aren't talking about Syfy's "Helix" since it's a great mix of horror, sci-fi, and mystery. If you're still watching along with us, here's a fresh batch of stills from Episode 1.09, "Level X."

Day 8. How did we get to Day 8 of Helix already? This series has been flying along, even after multiple watches. Friday nights can never come fast enough. And ohhh how I cannot wait to binge watch the whole series again, once it’s over. But for now, let’s get a head start on tonight’s new developments with this TV spot and the first almost-five minutes:

That Julia is quite a scamp. But come on, what happens next?!

Helix, starring Billy Campbell, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kyra Zagorsky, Mark Ghanimé, Jordan Hayes, Meegwun Fairbrother, Jeri Ryan, and Neil Napier, airs Fridays at 10/9c on Syfy.

As you may know, we here at SciFi Mafia are major, elemental, over-the-top, gushing fans of the smart, creepy, completely addictive Helix. After last week’s addition of Jeri Ryan as the teeth-filing Constance Sutton, we all have even more questions.

Ms. Ryan and showrunner Steven Maeda spoke with media outlets last week about the character and the show, and to start, I asked her what drew her to the role:

Jeri Ryan: You know, it was fun – well the concept of the show to begin with was sort of intriguing to me. I hadn’t seen any of it at that point because it was just being shot. I loved the people that were involved in it. So that was all really cool. And then when I sort of was hearing a little bit more about the character and I was seeing how she was written, then it was fun…...

Syfy hosted a Q&A with "Helix" guest star Jeri Ryan and exec producer/showrunner Steve Maeda last week, and they revealed quite a bit about what's ahead now that Constance Sutton (Ryan) has arrived in the Arctic.

Things kick off with some discussion about Sutton, who she really is and her motives, and then we hear about topics ranging from the likelihood of a second season, Jeri's love of gore, how long they can keep up the series' intensity, Hatake’s obsession with Walker, the current state of genre TV, and much, much more.

If you're a fan of the show and/or Ryan (whose appearance as Ilaria's corporate "face" first occurred this past Friday night in Episode 1.07, "Survivor Zero," and will continue in future eps), you'll want to grab your morning coffee or tea and settle in for a bit.

It's President's Day; you don't have to work anyway,...

Jeri Ryan's guest stint on "Helix" continues next week, but this almost 5-minute clip from Episode 1.08, "Bloodline," focuses on Alan, Sarah, and Julia.. ending with a startling confession by the latter.

However, the mysterious Constance Sutton (whom Ryan describes as "kind of a ball-buster") does figure prominently in several of the photos from the ep provided by Syfy.

"Helix" is executive produced by Ron Moore, creator of “Battlestar Galactica."

The 13-episode series stars Billy Campbell, Kyra Zagorsky, Jordan Hayes, Catherine Lemieux, Hiroyuki Sanada, Meegwun Fairbrother, Mark Ghanimé, and Neil Napier.

"Helix" Episode 1.08 - "Bloodline" (airs 2/21/14)

The vectors attack and take Peter's (Napier) body; Walker (Zagorsky) is held prisoner by Sutton (Ryan) after the true nature of Sutton's relationship with Hatake (Sanada) is revealed.

Meanwhile, Daniel (Fairbrother) gets closer to the truth about his past.

When you love a show it can sometimes be nerve wracking when a big name guest star shows up. You hate to have the balance disrupted, or feel like the guest is just there to boost ratings. But just wait until you see Jeri Ryan in tonight’s Helix. She is an absolute powerhouse, and a perfect fit for this absolutely-’A'-list show. And oh kids, tonight’s episode is everything you want in a Helix episode and more.

You don’t have to wait until tonight to see what I mean; check out the first four minutes of the episode in the clip below, just after the TV spot:

And if you, like me, have loved Do You Know the Way to San Jose and the totally kitchy elevator music, you’re gonna love the song they use tonight. It just cannot get better than this.

"Helix" is moving right along on Syfy, and this Friday we'll be up to Day 7, or Episode 1.07, "Survivor Zero." But first let's hear a little about the show from stars Billy Campbell and Kyra Zagorsky.

In this video interview with Kyra and Billy, they discuss what kind of research went into their characters, whether their roles have made them germaphobes, and a bit more.

"Helix" is executive produced by Ron Moore, creator of “Battlestar Galactica," and stars Billy Campbell, Kyra Zagorsky, Jordan Hayes, Catherine Lemieux, Hiroyuki Sanada, Meegwun Fairbrother, Mark Ghanimé, and Neil Napier.

We're halfway through Season 1 of "Helix," and next week guest star Jeri Ryan ("Star Trek: Voyager") arrives in the Arctic to help. Here's a four-minute sneak peek of Episode 1.07, "Survivor Zero," in which she first appears, along with a few photos of our weary Cdc crew.

Shockers abound in this clip from tonight’s new episode of Helix – and it’s only the opening four minutes. The only reason to avoid watching it now is that it will make you yell at your computer screen in frustration that you can’t see more, instantly. Sorry. It’s what I did.

The accompanying TV spot is equally “What?!”-worthy, so check that out as well. If you, sadly, still haven’t started watching this show, then get on over to syfy.com/now/helix or to Syfy On Demand on your TV to watch the 5 that have already aired. Seriously, just don’t put it off, or you’re likely to get spoiled on the constantly churning events of this massively addictive show.

Don’t forget to check out the Helix: Access Granted site for even more excellent intrigue.

If you are one of the few cool people who have not been watching Helix, or if you are amongst the millions who have watched it and know you need to rewatch to pick up the clues you missed the first or fourth time around, here is great news: Syfy will be airing every episode (that’s five so far) tomorrow (Thursday) night starting at 6/5c.

Seriously, if you have only seen each episode once, make sure to watch this marathon; you’ll be surprised at how much you missed the first time around. Plus, as with all serialized shows, you’ll notice things in earlier episodes that you know have been expanded in later episodes. Just trust me on this and rewatch.

The plot thickens in next week's Episode 1.06 of Syfy's record-shattering new series "Helix." Here's a sneak peek of the opening moments of "Aniqatiga" along with a few photos to prepare you for the intense thrills to come.

The area in which the show is breaking records is "Live +7," which adds 7 days of DVR viewing to its ratings. "Helix" leaped 82% among Adults 18-49 (1.34 million), 74% in Adults 25-54 (1.55 million), and 64% in total viewers (3.0 million) for the January 10th premiere.

Those are the largest increases ever for a Syfy scripted series in L+7 viewing compared to Syfy’s scripted original series premieres since L+7 ratings started being recorded by Nielsen. "Helix" also rose 102% in Adults 18-34 (454K), while posting strong gains among women viewers, up 85% in Women 18-49 (541K), 73% in Women 25-54 (649K), and 232% in Women 18-34 (166K). The series also grew 81% among Men 18-49 (797K) and 75% in Men 25-54 (903K).

"Helix" is executive produced by Ron Moore,...

Congratulations to everyone involved in the production of my current favorite show Helix; the “plus 7″ (DVR-watching) ratings for the show have reportedly shattered all previous viewing records for Syfy. That means congratulations are also in order for all those smart viewers, who have likely learned that this show is definitely one to watch at least twice every week.

In case you missed it, click here to read (or re-read) what series creator Cameron Porsandeh told SciFi Mafia about the series structure, and the fact that it was created with rewatches in mind, for those who are so inclined.

I have to say, it makes me a little sad to see other good shows subjected to the kind of analysis and scrutiny that Helix encourages. Sorry, clue-seeking American Horror Story: Coven fans, but that brooch was just a brooch. If you want to analyze a show, watch (and rewatch) Helix, and...
