Preview: Welcome to the Tiny World of NatGeo’s “A Real Bug’s Life”
I was one of those kids who loved watching nature documentaries, I think because my family made a night out of it. We’d all sit down in front of the TV (I know, who does that anymore??) and be transported to another world. Maybe it was sub-Saharan Africa with a...
Mariana van Zeller previews a new season of NatGeo’s Trafficked
As a (generally) law-abiding citizen, there are people I’d never come into contact with and places I’d never be invited to go.

Finale Watch: The Killing “Orpheus Descending”
We weigh in on The Killing’s Season 1 finale. Heather M.’s Take Oh, hell no. It was about 15 minutes into the episode when I realized they were taking too long and it dawned on me that we were getting a cliffhanger. GAH. If it hadn’t been renewed, I’d have been...
2016 Was “The Most Dangerous Year” for Transgender People [EXCLUSIVE]
In 2016 as so called “bathroom bills” swept the nation, trans people found themselves more vulnerable than ever.

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...

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

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...

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”

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: 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 The Vampire Diaries “I’ll Remember”
