Previewing The Little Girl Who Lived
Back in ye olden days, Lifetime programmed my beloved women-led thrillers on the regular, even adapting several Nora Roberts titles (which unfortunately aren’t streaming but are on DVD). While the network’s current lineup leans more toward the ripped from the headlines fare, which aren’t my jam unless one of my...
Previewing Home Turf

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 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...

What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supernatural “Angel Heart”

What They Said: Favorite Quotes from The Vampire Diaries “I’ll Remember”
