Character Development: Raylan Finds His Swagger, Justified “Kin”
Raylan Givens is one of my all-time favorite TV characters but he’s been off his game this season, settled into a casual relationship with Lindsey, distracted by impending fatherhood and trying to amass a baby fund for Winona, and unrooted from a fixed agenda against Arlo or Boyd. If I didn’t know better,...
The Vampire Diaries “Into the Wild”
This week the gang convenes on witch island to get to Silas and the cure while back home Klaus is tested and fails (or wins, you decide). No Liz, Matt, April, Hayley, or Rudy.
What We Learned from Scandal “Nobody Likes Babies”
[WARNING: Major spoilers for this week’s episode] I am so grateful that season 2 isn’t over. Last night’s Scandal was supposed to be the finale. ABC originally ordered 13 episodes. Thankfully, the alphabet network had the supreme intelligence to give the series its back nine. Having said that, if the...
Relationships Recap: Nikita
Back in November, I did a piece on Sean telling Alex he loved her seemingly out of nowhere, and then that’s about the last time we saw him, until last week. We’ll get to them. Then we have Nikita and Michael at a crossroads because she severed his hand to...
Castle “Recoil”: Beckett’s Dilemma
Photo Credit: Colleen Hayes/ABC Well, Beckett had quite the dilemma in the latest episode. Should she let the man who murdered her mother die? Or should she protect him from someone trying to kill him?
Get With the Program: AMC’s Hell on Wheels
This was one I fully meant to watch last fall and then that got blown straight to hell (pun intended). Thanks to my friendly corner Redbox kiosk, I immersed myself in the first five episodes over two days and then the next five over three days and a) it’s about...
We Need to Know: Is True Blood’s Jason Stackhouse Starting to Grow Up?
I’m not usually someone who ends up singling out something that has to do with a Jason storyline on True Blood. I like Jason Stackhouse. Yet, I’m never invested in what’s going on with him for some reason or another. However, in the latest episode, “Whatever I am, You Made...
Pete (Finally) Gets the Beat Down He Deserves, Mad Men “Signal 30”
I know I’m not the only one who enjoyed seeing Pete get his clock cleaned. I was surprised that it was Lane who called him out, and I have to say I’ve got a whole new appreciation for him. Jared Harris can do no wrong in my opinion (I love him...
The War Between The Kings and Damien Fontleroy Heats Up, Breakout Kings “I Smell Emmy”
Damien’s back. He’s causing trouble and he’s making Lloyd put his considerable deductive skills to work. But, before I get to that, can I just say that the open to this episode was one of the grossest ever? What Emmy did to escape from jail was utterly disgusting. I can’t...
Joan (Finally) Kicks Greg to the Curb, Mad Men “Mystery Date”
It’s about time. I have been waiting for Joan to come to her senses and throw that man out for years. I know it was a different time. I know she married him and that meant something to her. But he raped her and I couldn’t forgive him. Every time...

Let’s Talk About Will Trent
[Spoilers for “The Blank Expanse of Nothing”] It’s been a minute since I’ve had a good, old-fashioned rant about a TV series, so I’m overdue. If you’ve followed me on IG the last few years (hi!), you know that I yell often and loud about my love for Will Trent....
Tim Rozon Looks Back on SurrealEstate
[Warning: All the spoilers ahead.] To close out our SurrealEstate coverage (for now), I chatted with Tim Rozon about Season 3 and getting the band back together. For the third season, production moved from Newfoundland to Ottawa, and Rozon was ready to dive back in. “We were in a...
George R. Olson Unpacks SurrealEstate Season 3

George R. Olson and Tim Rozon Share Their Gratitude for SurrealEstate’s Run
Since SurrealEstate wrapped its third season six months ago, I’ve checked about once a week to see whether there was any news on cancelled or renewed. As long as there was no decision, there was still hope for a fourth season. This week, series creator George R. Olson let the...
Hulu’s Paradise S1 Weaves Past and Present to Unravel a Murder
One of the nice things about the symbiosis of the entertainment conglomerates is that sometimes streaming shows make their way over to linear outlets. Case in point: ABC has given Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building a primetime slot (after of course tweaking the language for FCC regs) during its...
Scott McCord Talks About Victor’s Expanding World in From Season 3
Closing out our From Season 3 coverage (which you can find here), in the second part of my conversation with Scott McCord, we talk about Victor’s new friendship with Sara, reconnecting with Tabitha, and what might be next for Victor when Season 4 returns in 2026. As we’ve talked about...
Dennis Heaton Talks Murder in a Small Town
Murder in a Small Town wraps its first season Tuesday night on FOX in the US and Wednesday night on Global TV in Canada. For US viewers, it’s been a neat addition to the usual FOX fare to have a slower-paced, small-town murder mystery with a parade of CdnTV peeps...
Harold Perrineau Talks From Season 3
[Warning: Includes spoilers for the Season 3 finale.] How are you doing, FROMily? That finale was A LOT. Thankfully we know we’re going to get more of this story, and you have a year and change to work on your Venn diagram deciphering the OMG WTFery of it all. Last...
Scott McCord Talks From Season 3
From the jump (pun intended), I’ve been a staunch advocate of Victor (and Scott McCord, who plays him), and this season, he’s been put through it. On the heels of sending Tabitha off into the unknown and having her return with his father, he unearths the long-suppressed memory that as...
Corteon Moore Talks From Season 3
From has always been really good about delighting us with mix-and-match character pairings, and this season, we’ve seen Jade and Tabitha, Sara and Victor, Henry and Victor, and Kenny and Acosta team up. As Ellis, Corteon Moore has spent a chunk of time this season paired up with Pegah Ghafoori...

WARNING: Spoilers for Survivor’s Remorse “Closure” The latest episode of Starz’s Survivor’s Remorse featured conversations that showed characters really digging deep into their thoughts, emotions and motivations.
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...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supergirl “Worlds Finest”
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 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...
3 Moments of Goodness from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Johnny and Dora”
The most satisfying part of this season’s finale has to the Jake and Amy kiss. Well, they kiss three times but the last one is the best one — and it means something. The Charles and Rosa dynamic was also great. I love how she’s convinced he doesn’t know anything...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supernatural “Angel Heart”
Okay, that was my favorite of all the Claire episodes. In the beginning I think this arc was a bit shaky, to be honest. But I think it ended strong and that’s thanks to the chemistry between the actors as well as the strength of the writing, courtesy of Robbie...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from New Girl “Landline”
Jess has a ladyboner for a new teacher, with a pretty inappropriate last name. I approve. Coach, ever the player, gets in trouble at school for dating (I’m using the term euphemistically here) two school employees at the same time. And Nick imagines himself a sort of secretary when they...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from The Vampire Diaries “I’ll Remember”
Season 5 Episode 1: “I’ll Remember” Writer: Caroline Dries This is odd. It’s an episode of The Vampire Diaries and there’s only one favorite quote from Damon. Of course, he was only in one scene. There are a few Hallucination!Damon quotes included though. What were some of your favorite quotes...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Undercover”
Before we get to my favorite quotes from the episode – and there are kind of a lot, so prepare yourself, let’s take a quick look at what when down in this season 2 premiere. Jake’s back from his undercover assignment and apparently he didn’t miss that much while he...
