Monday TV Watch: Critics Pick ‘Defiance’
The critics at USA Today and The New York Times seem to be in agreement, ‘Defiance‘ is worth a watch tonight on the Syfy channel. The show premieres at 9 p.m. tonight and features a companion video game that launched two weeks in advance of the show. The ambitious venture is said to have a $100-million budget, ambitiously looking to break new ground in multi-screen transmedia experiences.
