[General spoilers ahead.] Apple TV+ formally launches tomorrow, and their tentpole premiere, The Morning Show, reunites Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon in an hourlong drama set against the backdrop of a morning TV talk show in the aftermath of a Me Too scandal. Aniston is Alex Levy, the longtime host […]
[Warning: Spoilers for the series finale.] Bates Motel closed up shop tonight after five seasons, and while Season 5 as a whole was just really, really hard to watch because Norman was self-aware of his insanity, I wanted to at least mark the finale because I did love Season 3 in […]
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] Bates Motel begins its swan song Monday night with an episode that picks up several months after the Christmastime events of the season finale. If a store receipt is to be trusted, we are beginning the following October/November-ish. Y’all know that I had some feels about […]

[Warning: General spoilers ahead] We’re back! Bates Motel returns Monday night with a taut premiere that picks up right where the finale left off, which I am very glad about. I didn’t want any sort of time jump at all.
