Denis Kimathi

Denis is a staff writer for TV Fanatic. He’s combined his love for creative writing and television into one neat package covering television shows and occasionally films. His mood greatly influences his viewing habits, ranging from bubbly laugh-track sitcoms to twisted serial killers and apocalypse dramas.

He does not like to play favorites, but 9-1-1 brings him unadulterated joy, and DVDs of Chicago P.D. would make his deserted island list. Denis has watched The Wire, Shameless, Euphoria, and Heartstopper more than once and will probably do it again. He prefers eating on the couch with a sitcom playing instead of YouTube. Find him on Twitter sharing something random that occurred to him that may or may not be related to television.

Apart from his dynamic coverage on TV Fanatic, Denis is a writer for Collider, regularly covering television and film news. He is known for his vast knowledge of and prowess in covering broadcast television. He has also written for sites such as Fansided's One Chicago Center, Fiction Horizon, and Cultured Vultures. Fun fact: Denis has logged over 500 days of watched TV shows across hundreds of TV shows and thousands of episodes.
