From exclusive interviews with The Wheel of Time cast members to breakdowns of The Expanse and The Witcher, there was a lot happening this week on WiC.
There a ton of genre TV to watch right now. Too much? Not with us covering it.
First up, we get an exclusive interview with Michael McElhatton, who went from playing one of the worst fathers in fantasy to one of the best:
