Downton Abbey Preview: “Season 6, Episode 6”
I can’t be the only one who was a bit horrified by the violent turn that dinner took last week. I mean, it seemed a tad dramatic — Robert spitting blood over Cora, himself, the table, the floor and everyone who tried to help him. But he’d been ignoring his...
Downton Abbey “Season 5, Episode 3”
I thought Charles Blake was truly out of the game when it came to the competition for Mary’s hand (and heart). The last time they saw each other, Blake warned Mary that Tony wasn’t clever enough for her. I’m not sure if Mary chose to discount that statement as vindictive...
Tuned In Tuesday: Sherlock’s Emmy Award-Winning Composer Michael Price [Exclusive Interview]
Need a Sherlock hiatus helper as much as I do? At least we know the series isn’t going to take another two-year break (I’m honestly not sure when I’m going to be able to let that go). I spoke exclusively to composer Michael Price, who just won an Emmy for...
We Need to Know: Why Is Downton Abbey’s Lady Mary Crawley So Indecisive?
I’ll admit it. The season 4 finale of Downton Abbey underwhelmed me. I had been enjoying a number of aspects of the storyline this season, particularly Michelle Dockery‘s portrayal of Mary’s grief. It was so tough to watch her in those first few episodes of the season. She seemed so...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes From Sherlock “The Sign of Three”
Title: “The Sign of Three” Writer: Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss Mrs. Hudson: “Your mother has a lot to answer for.” Sherlock: “I know. I have a list. Mycroft has a file.” Sherlock: “Aren’t there usually biscuits?” Mrs. Hudson: “I’ve run out.” Sherlock: “Have the shops?” David: “They’re right about...
Sherlock “The Empty Hearse”
I love me a good conspiracy theory and the ones we heard in this episode were outrageous and creative. I hope we never find out how Sherlock faked his death. I like a bit of mystery. We had some great Mycroft/Sherlock development in this episode. Not only did Mycroft go...
Moment of Heartbreak: Sybil Dies, Downton Abbey “Season III, Episode 4″
Although I really like Downton Abbey (and would prefer to watch it at the same time as the UK does – do you hear me PBS?), I don’t always love all of the storylines. I loved Sybil and her storyline until she got together with Tom. It just felt forced...
Moment of Goodness: Matthew Proposes to Mary, Downton Abbey II
We had to wait until the very last scene of Season 2 of Masterpiece’s Downton Abbey to get the most satisfyingly romantic moment of the entire series so far. Matthew finally proposes to Mary. Matthew and Mary had been through so much: her stubbornness and sordid past; his engagement to...
Moment of Goodness: Matthew Returns Alive and Well to Downton Abbey, Downton Abbey II Part 3
There are so many great couples on PBS’ Downton Abbey but my favorite (next to Mr. Bates and Anna) has to be the seriously star-crossed pair of Matthew and Lady Mary. They want to be together. They should be together. But circumstances — and lots of pride — have prevented...

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 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...
What They Said: Three Revealing Conversations from Survivor’s Remorse “Closure”
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...
Diamond Dan, The Mindy Project “We’re a Couple Now, Haters!”
