Playing With Fire

Season 1, Ep. 683

When a mysterious caller threatens to expose Blake Alexander — illusionist, superhero, and secretly the Grim Reaper — the stage magician finds himself blackmailed into a deadly game. First forced to gamble under surveillance, then commanded to kill, Blake refuses to betray his oath as Judge of the Dead. But when the blackmailer pushes too far, Blake unleashes the fire within him — a power that could burn away his enemies, his secrets, and his soul. With the fate of his empire and the truth of his identity at stake, Blake must decide how far he’ll go to protect the living… and the dead.

  • 1170. The Emperor's Dilemma, Love and Peace

    16:26||Season 1, Ep. 1170
    In a Rococo paradise ruled by an Empress with two fatal weaknesses — beauty and the Emperor himself — Fred Sapphirus is sent on the most dangerous diplomatic mission of his undead life. Forced to seduce a ruler who adores him, trapped in a lie that betrays his secret wife, and haunted by the paradox that made him his own grandson, Fred must choose between peace for the galaxy and the love he’s forbidden to show. When the Empress’s obsession turns into a political catastrophe, one kiss shatters alliances, breaks hearts, and threatens to expose the King of Death behind the mask of an emperor. This is a story of duty, deception, and the price of peace — and nothing will ever be the same again.

    18:34||Season 1, Ep. 1169
    Gentleman John Faulkner never meant to fall in love — especially not with a masked highwaywoman whose identity could destroy them both. As rival outlaws, vengeful soldiers, and a furious magistrate close in, their secret romance becomes a race against fate. Stand and Deliver: The King’s Man is a story of honour, sacrifice, and the price of loving someone you were never meant to meet.
  • 1168. The Haunting of the Necromancer v4

    05:28||Season 1, Ep. 1168
    A ghost follows the Necromancer home — and instead of terrorising the family, he steals the best seat in the house and binge‑watches soap operas. With the Grand Reaper acting like a couch potato and the kids calling their dad “Mega Dork,” this haunting spirals into magical mischief. The Haunting of the Necromancer proves even the dead have terrible taste in TV.
