We have witnessed the phenomenon of movie stars coming to the small screen, proving that there is no replacement for talent.
UPDATED APR 1, 2019

Three months in, in 2019 and we are assured it's a great year for TV.  Not only because breakthrough TV series are dropping this year, from 'Game of Thrones' season finale to 'Stranger Things 3', but also because we have witnessed a phenomenon of movie stars coming to the small screen, proving that there is no replacement for talent. Earlier this month, Kate Beckinsale returned to TV after a decade with a binge-worthy and thrilling drama series called 'The Widow,' on Amazon Prime Originals. Recently this month, we witnessed Mark Hamill trade his 'Star Wars' lightsaber for a medieval sword in 'Knightfall.'
