Romancing the Bro in 12 Monkeys “Year of the Monkey”
One of the things that’s hard about PR/marketing is gauging the timing of the reveal. I do that in my day job, so I totally get it, but when it comes to fandom, I sort of wish there was a way to table reveals while still building interest. Case in…
Bates Motel Preview: Lights of Winter
Well, last week we had an honest to goodness quickie wedding and then our bride and groom surprisingly sealed the deal. I’m very curious what that morning after is going to look like. We also had Chick show up out of the blue–startling Dylan and scaring the crap out of…
Ryan And Mike Admit Their Faults, The Following “The Edge” and “A Simple Truth”
While this 2-hour penultimate episode was filled with lots of twists, torture, blood and betrayal, I can’t help but feel like this episode didn’t actually achieve anything until the final two scenes. Don’t get me wrong, bad guys were killed, moles were outed and plots were uncovered throughout, but with…
Joe Meets His Maker, The Following “Evermore”
Whoa! Did they seriously just do that?! Did they actually just kill Joe?! Normally, when a TV show kills a major character, I’m suspicious unless I see a body, but this time, there was no doubt. We literally watched as the poison pumped through Joe’s veins and he took his last…
Moment of Goodness: Joe Becomes Ryan’s Disease, The Following “Kill The Messenger”

A Tale Of Two Villains, The Following “Reunion”
So I was planning to write this article all about my beloved Ryan-Joe bromance, because while there was only one scene between them, it was still EXQUISITE and exactly what I’d been waiting for. But then in true Following fashion, the show threw me a major villain curveball that I would…
The Following “Home” and “A Hostile Witness”
Finally!! I never thought I’d say this, but Joe Carroll literally took the words right out of my mouth. Ryan, what took you so long?! Don’t get wrong, I get it, the build up was vital but I’m uber excited that Ryan has finally been to the edge, the brink, the…
Ryan Advocates Justice Over Revenge, The Following “Exposed”
After last week’s brutal death of Agent Clarke, it seemed appropriate that this week was almost entirely devoted to taking down his killer, Neil. And while I found the juxtaposition between his role as a cool, calm, collected murderer and that of a concerned, frazzled, error-prone son intriguing, it was what his death…
We Find Out What’s in the Box in The Following, “Boxed In”
Thanks to the season 3 promos that have been airing the past few months, we’ve all been asking ourselves one question. Well, now we know what’s in the box and I kind of wish I didn’t. After tonight’s episode, I’ll never look at a metal box the same again. That being…

Catching Up with Ted Lasso and Previewing Season 2

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…

[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?”
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: 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…
