Previewing Lisey’s Story
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] As an 80s kid, I cut my teeth on Stephen King miniseries from Salem’s Lot to the OG It and The Stand. Apple TV Plus dips a toe into that ouevre this Friday with an eight-episode TV adaptation of his novel, Lisey’s Story, headlined by Julianne…
Emmy-Nominated Production Designer Howard Cummings Talks The Knick [Exclusive]
The Knick is such a great TV show and I love that it’s getting the attention of Emmy voters. While I’m fully invested in following the stories of these characters, sometimes I have to look away from the action onscreen. If you’re a fan, you know how intense and realistic those…
The Knick Preview: “The Golden Lotus” [VIDEO and PHOTOS]
Warning: Spoilers Ahead The potential for disaster in this episode is huge and we can’t wait to see how a number of things play out. We’ve got Thackery, who doesn’t seem to want to have sex with Lucy unless he’s high. Bertie told his father he’s in love with Lucy,…
The Knick Preview: “Working Late a Lot” [VIDEO and PHOTOS]
Warning: Spoilers Ahead Well, if the image above is anything to go by it looks like things are progressing between Thackery and Lucy. We don’t want to see that blow up, but we hope Thackery’s extracurricular activities don’t get in the way of wherever those two want to take this…
The Knick “Get the Rope”
Well, that escalated quickly. I’m not only talking about the riot. Phinny Sears approaches a black woman he thinks is a prostitute. He wants to convince her to become one of Bunky’s girls so he can get his cut, but both she and her man take offense to Phinny’s proposition….
The Knick Preview: “Get the Rope” [VIDEO and PHOTOS]
Warning: Spoilers Ahead Things are definitely changing at The Knick. We are so curious to see how everyone will react to Thackery officially (and finally)Â accepting Edwards as his number 2. We predict big problems with Gallinger. Not only is he still going to be mourning the loss of his child,…
The Knick “Start Calling Me Dad”
It was only a matter of time before someone learned what Edwards was doing in the basement. It makes sense that a person as dedicated and stubborn as Edwards (and maybe the fact that it’s Thackery is poetic as well), is the one to discover him. It’s interesting that Thack…
The Knick Preview: “Start Calling Me Dad” [VIDEO and PHOTOS + “They Capture the Heat” Recap]
Warning: Spoilers Ahead Let’s talk a little about last week’s episode before we look forward to what’s to come, shall we? I just don’t know what to think about Thackery and Lucy. I enjoyed seeing her teach him to ride a bicycle, but I honestly believe any romantic relationship between…
The Knick “Where’s the Dignityâ€
Algernon Edwards is a very smart man. Not only is he the first “negro†doctor at The Knickerbocker, but he may be the only black doctor in all of New York in 1900. There are some who seem to genuinely admire and/or respect Algernon, but he also has to deal…
The Knick Preview: “Where’s the Dignity” [VIDEO and PHOTOS]
Warning: Spoilers Ahead We’re morbidly curious, but also genuinely interested to see how Abigail’s surgery turns out. If we learn anything else about Thackery’s past from or because of her, it will be a bonus. Since Cleary’s so good at making deals, we wonder what kind of arrangement he and…

For All Mankind Season 2: Talking with Wrenn Schmidt, Krys Marshall, Jodi Balfour, and Sonya Walger [Exclusive]
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] One of the hooks of For All Mankind is that it’s very much a story about the women of NASA. In Season 2, we explore the journeys of the women in the program, either through their own service or through their family affiliations. Four of those…
Rosy McEwen Talks The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Season Finale [Exclusive]
[Warning: Spoilers for the season finale episodes.] How’s everyone after that finale? I will freely admit I got a little misty in episode eight as John told Sara why he loved her, and later that he wanted her despite what he might forfeit, and then at the end when he…
Rosy McEwen Talks The Alienist: Angel of Darkness [Exclusive]
Hands down, one of the best surprises of The Alienist: Angel of Darkness is that the serial killer this season has been front and center alongside the cast as a fully-formed character. We’ve watched Libby Hatch devolve from a prim, mild-mannered nurse to a woman in a rage hell-bent on…
The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Relationship Recap: John and Sara
[Warning: Spoilers for “Belly of the Beast” and “Memento Mori”] If you’ve read me for a while (thank you!), you know two things — I lean way, way in on the characters I adore and I loathe love geometry arcs. So, I’m torn about where we are and where we…
Louriza Tronco Talks The Order Season 2 [Exclusive]
[Warning: Spoilers ahead for Season 2.] The Order’s second season is dark yet delightful entertainment on many levels, and one of its biggest sources of joy and snark is the sassy Gabrielle Dupres. Last season, she was assertive and deadly and fairly annoyed with the world. This season, she’s been…
Previewing Netflix’s Virgin River
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] Full disclosure: I have a Netflix account for my Mom, but I’m not a regular viewer. If I get a heads up on something, I’ll go look for it, but I don’t have a wander across its offerings, which, as I understand it, is how most…
Final Thoughts From the Killjoys Team [Exclusive]

Michelle Lovretta Talks Wrapping Up Killjoys [Exclusive]
[Warning: Spoilers for the series finale.] To quote Miss Jackson, “That’s the end?” Yes, friends, it is. And like I promised you, everything would be, was, and is alright. I went to the Killjoys source, series creator Michelle Lovretta, who wrote the last episode, to break down that delicious finale….
Luke Macfarlane Talks Killjoys Season 5 [Exclusive]
As Killjoys winds down its run, I’ve been extremely fortunate to chat this summer with our onscreen and offscreen faves. I’ve said here a few times that Luke Macfarlane was my introduction into the show, and in the intervening five years, he’s been very kind to chat with me for…

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”
Who can you trust? If this episode of The Catch was any indication, the answer is just about nobody. Betrayal was running rampant as Felicity (Shivani Ghai) arose from the dead to seduce-con Margot, Gretchen (Maria Thayer, Gotham, The Mindy Project) played gold-hearted Alice 2.0 before swindling Ethan, Tessa jumped…

Oh, Supergirl. That ending was cold. But I can’t hate on you because the latest episode has quickly become one of my favorites.
What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
Supernatural episodes are almost always funny but thanks to the dialogue and a certain man speaking said dialogue, I laughed a lot during “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” You know, when I wasn’t busy fearing for Sam’s life or wondering what in the world was going on with Dean and…
What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”
Two nights of Arrow + The Flash = what more could we ask for?! I don’t know what it is about blending these shows, but I can’t help but feel that every time they come together, they somehow become greater than the sum of their parts. And that’s saying a lot…
What they Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Graceland “Little Bo Bleep”
Shoot outs. Fake outs. And long-awaited revelations. “Little Bo Bleep” was a jam-packed episode that wrapped up some loose ends and totally frayed others. Â It finally gave us one Sarkissian in jail and pulled back the curtain on Briggs’ master plan, but it also set up Jakes for a world…
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Poldark “Part 4”
“What have I told you, I don’t require my wife to crochet and sip tea, but I do require her to remember she’s not a beast of burden.†No, I’m not talking about The Rolling Stones! I have to admit though, just for a second, the lyrics popped into my…
