Game of Thrones “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”
When’s the last time in the history of Game of Thrones that we had two episodes in a row that were, I don’t want to say uneventful, but maybe the word is quiet? Relaxed? Sort of, chill? Just as in the season premiere “Winterfell,” “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”…
Top of the Lake: China Girl Preview + TCA Excerpts
Sundance TV’s Top of the Lake was one of my favorite series of 2013. When a second series was announced, we knew it would take a while for it come around because Elisabeth Moss was wrapping Mad Men and then attached to Hulu’s juggernaut The Handmaid’s Tale. Alongside her other…
Game of Thrones “The Spoils of War”
Now that was a battle scene. We knew Daenerys was approaching her breaking point. Cersei has been pushing and pushing, and Daenerys has been itching to actually fight; much to Tyrion’s chagrin. But we’ve all known Dany’s a ruler of the people. She prefers to be hands on. So it…
Sundance TV Drops the First Trailer for Top of the Lake: China Girl
If you’ve been a longtime reader here at TV Goodness (thank you!), y’all might recall that I had some mad love for the 2013 Sundance TV (then Channel) mini-series Top of the Lake, and it’s been a four-year wait for the follow-up mini-series as Elisabeth Moss wrapped up Mad Men…
Game of Thrones Preview: “No One”
Last week’s Game of Thrones ended with a major question. Namely, what’s going to happen with Arya? We weren’t convinced she was a goner, and there have been plenty of fan theories about what will happen (a personal favorite is that Arya figured out a way to give her face…
Game of Thrones Preview: “The Door”
This is such a good name for an episode, it’s causing us stress! “The Door†feels like it might be a major episode for this season of Game of Thrones. The show is introducing a brand new character, Kinvara, a red priestess just like Melissandre (with the a very similar…
Game of Thrones Preview: “Book of the Stranger”
Littlefinger is absent no more! Petyr Baelish makes his first appearance of the season in “Book of the Stranger,” making it clear that he knows that Sansa escaped from Winterfell. Consequently, the plan he had orchestrated is falling apart (or is it?) Littlefinger’s work is always more obvious in hindsight;…
3 Moments of Goodness from Game of Thrones “The Red Woman”
The season six premiere of Game of Thrones wasted no time giving status updates on virtually all of the cast of characters (except Bran. Eleven episodes with no mention of magical flame-throwing children.) But from all the flitting from North to South and East to West, there were three Moments…
Game of Thrones “High Sparrow”
Like a bad penny, Jorah Mormont shows up when you least expect him. Tyrion warns Varys that he’s losing his mind being cooped up during their travel to Meereen. Volantis seems like a good place to get a breath of fresh air. Even though Tyrion knows the danger, he’s willing to…
Game of Thrones Preview: “High Sparrow”
Warning: Spoilers Ahead Before I focus on tonight’s new episode, let’s spend a little time on what happened in “The House of Black and White.” I, for one, love that Jon Snow has been elected Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. But not everyone is happy with his new position…
Catching Up with Ted Lasso and Previewing Season 2

Rosy McEwen Talks The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Season Finale [Exclusive]

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…

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.

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?”

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…
