January is up for grabs - and laughs ¬– as Sony Channel livens up your ROFLing* Sundays in the new year. Enjoy a primetime combination that raises comedy to a whole new level of fun and laughter with the returning season of the workplace comedy, Superstore, and the premiere of the brand new sitcom, The Carmichael Show.

SUPERSTORE Season 2

It’s back to work for the retail employees of Cloud 9 after their protest which they thought would paralyze the store’s operations.

In the new season, things appear to get better for Amy (America Ferrera), Jonah (Ben Feldman), Dina (Lauren Ash), Garrett (Colton Dunn) Mateo (Nico Santos), Cheyenne (Nichole Bloom) and Glenn (Mark McKinney). They return to their workplaces and try to keep their acts together as a team as they haggle through corporate politics, seasonal sales, lost and found items, storage theft, another protest, and more.

Superstore Season 2 premieres on January 22, Sunday at 7:30pm.

THE CARMICHAEL SHOW Seasons 1 & 2

Standup comedian Jerrod Carmichael navigates through life with his liberal girlfriend Maxine (Amber West), and his opinionated family - his admirable brother Bobby (Lil Rey Howery) and his old-fashioned parents, the outspoken Joe (David Alan Grier) and the deeply religious Cynthia (Loretta Devine). Spirited conversations dominate their daily routine as they discuss social issues of the day in humorous fashion.

Each argument tests the ties that bind Jerrod’s relationships with his girlfriend and family, and the values they learn from every verbal tussle they get into. In the end, they forgive and find each other in more heartwarming ways than one.

The Carmichael Show Seasons 1 & 2 premieres on January 22, Sunday at 8:00pm with 2 episodes back-to-back.

Everyone is really excited for the GMA-7's 2017 opening salvo, "Meant To Be." This is their newest primetime teleserye set to premiere next week, January 9, 2017. And it is lead by Barbie Forteza with four leading men namely Ken Chan, Jak Roberto, Ivan Dorschner, and Addy Rej.

The newest teleserye is a light romance drama or rom-com. It's a new feel-good TV series that will spread good vibes on Primetime.

Since the main casts are composed of four men and one lady, many assumed that this new GMA Telebabad series is Kapuso's version of Korea's "Boys Over Flower" and Taiwan's "Meteor Garden" - two of Asianovelas which took the country by storm!

Philippines'"Meant To Be"

Korea's "Boys Over Flowers"

Taiwan's "Meteor Garden"

Watching the teasers of the new show, though it has the casts ingredients of the said Asianovelas, we can say that it's totally different! The four leading men are of four different nationalities - Ken a Chinese, Jak a Filipino, Ivan an American, and Addy an Indian!

Though it's also a rom-com like the said Asianovelas, the story flow is also different.

Definitely, this is an exciting story that will make you laugh and love at the same time! The four leading men will not only capture the heart of Barbie but the viewers and netizens as well! "Teaser pa lang nakakakilig na!"What more in the actual show?!

"Meant To Be" has the same premiere date with ABS-CBN's "A Love to Last" which stars Bea Alonzo, Ian Veneracion, and Iza Calzado. Good vibes rom-com with fresh new faces versus the usual family drama tackling mistress again, my vote will be for "Meant to Be"this January 9. And everyone is really can't wait and see this new combination on TV! Good job GMA! (TV Series Craze)

SIX, the much-anticipated Navy SEAL drama on History, is set to premiere 19 January, Thursdays at 10:00 pm.

The series depicts the personal and professional lives of the men of Navy SEAL Team Six, America’s elite special operations unit, as they embark on a dangerous mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in Afghanistan, which goes awry when they uncover a U.S. citizen working as a jihadist fighter with the terrorists.

The eight-episode first season, inspired by real-life combat missions of Navy SEAL Team Six, the special forces unit famous for killing Osama bin Laden, authentically portrays the world of these brave and gallant men, how they react when faced with grave danger, how they cope with life-and-death situations, and how they deal with their complicated personal lives.

In the season premiere, team leader Richard “RIP” Taggart (Walton Goggins) makes a questionable decision while on a mission. Two years later, he is captured by the West African terrorist group, Boko Haram.

Now, his former Seal Team Six brothers – led by Joe “Bear” Graves (Barry Sloan), Alex Caulder (Kyle Schmid), and Ricky “Buddha” Ortiz (Juan Pablo Raba) – have to do everything in their power to locate their former leader and attempt a daring rescue mission in the heart of enemy territory – before it’s too late.

The internet has undoubtedly become an all-too-familiar facet of everyday life, but when people like 41-year-old Sydney man Liam Gordon Murphy makes headlines, it seems the digital realm still has plenty of hidden things not for the faint of heart.

In 2015, Liam Gordon Murphy, the online bondage, domination, sadism, and masochism (BDSM) star nicknamed “The Wolf” got acquainted with a 21-year-old woman through a fetish website. A year after they met at a hotel in Kings Cross, Murphy was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault. He pleaded not guilty to the charges at court.

Murphy has thousands of followers on FetLife, a website catering to the BDSM, kink, and fetish community. Though it has more than five million users who remain anonymous, the profiles give out the age, gender, and the role members want to play, that is, whether they want to be submissive or dominant in a BDSM relationship.

Just like any website requiring membership, this social network has terms for its users. Those who choose to be slaves must agree to the invasion of their privacy while their masters must promise to avoid abusing their power.

Such relationships may sound bizarre, but they are surprisingly common place for those who know their way around the underground world of the internet—where possibilities are just as exciting as they are dangerous.

Digital unknown

Murphy’s arrest calls attention to only one of many sexual niches that thrive in the web, from sugar baby-sugar daddy/mommy relationships to erotic “furries” that involve anthropomorphic animal costumes. Outside conventional networks like Facebook, these websites enable what the public would call deviants to form their own communities under their own rules, free from judgment.

But these communities are still somewhat accessible to the public with the right keywords. Delving deeper, a vast portion of the web—like the underwater part of an iceberg—are websites that are unreachable via Google Chrome or Firefox.

In what is called the Deep Web, unindexed digital content such as medical records and government databases lie beyond ordinary search engines; entry would require a specific type of software called Tor, which originally started out as an intelligence project by the US Navy. With this tool, users can explore the net while remaining anonymous.

Because Tor provides anonymity, the Deep Web has become a haven for drug transactions, hackers, and even assassins, creating a shadier section of the online world aptly named the Dark Net. Pirated libraries and political activism have also made their home here.

These activities in the Dark Net do not go unnoticed by the authorities. One such case was the 2014 arrest of Ross Ulbricht, owner of the famed online drug market called Silk Road. This did not stop drug dealers, however, from finding other ways to trade narcotics free of censorship.

Going mainstream?

In a TED Talk exploring this digital underbelly, Jamie Bartlett, author of the book The Dark Net, explained that while these sites are always at risk of being shut down, their creation is a staggering and phenomenal achievement.

According to Bartlett, the Dark Net is the future of the internet because of increasing concerns on privacy. There are now about two to three million Tor users who use the browser for legitimate purposes. This growing number will further push the Dark Net into the mainstream, Bartlett said.

Soon, more social media companies, news outlets, and ordinary internet users will be on the Dark Net, Bartlett predicted—a development that gives triumph to freedom fighters and drug dealers alike. This will make the internet more exciting, but perhaps not without consequences.

This complex world of the internet comes to light in the TV series Dark Net, an eight-part documentary that tells the stories of people caught in bio-hacking, digital warfare, online romances, and cyber crimes among others. Dark Net premieres on January 8, 9:35PM first and exclusive on RTL CBS Extreme. (TV Series Craze)
