This week on Good Bye to All That, The Pop Break’s TV Editor Alex Marcus is joined by Marvel News Desk co-host Adam Barnhardt (Comicbook.com) to discuss the first season of Hulu’s Helstrom.
Together, they consider how well this adaptation of one of Marvel’s lesser known antiheroes Daimon Helstrom (played by Tom Austen of The Royals) and his younger sister Satana (Sydney Lemmon, Fear the Walking Dead) fair compared to past Marvel TV offerings.
Topics discussed include:
-Thoughts on Hellstrom comic books
-Relationship with the darker/more serious Marvel TV series like Daredevil & Jessica Jones
-Elizabeth Marvel’s (Homeland, House of Cards) performance
-How well executed the horror elements were
-The love lives of our leads
-Chris’ Keeper storyline
-The role of The Bloods and the aborted Marvel Hulu hub of horror series
