Well, at least we’re getting somewhere now. Roswell, New Mexico Season 4 Episode 10 FINALLY saw the breakthrough we’ve all been waiting for when the portal between the underground dimension opened up. And it ended on a great cliffhanger that puts the urgency back into the storyline, as Michael is one step closer to reuniting

Wait just one minute. Are you telling me that nobody knows Leland was behind Monsignor’s murder? Evil Season 3 Episode 10 closed the book on the season of Demons, but it looks like there are more than ever hanging around. It’s impossible not to come back to the idea that no logical adult can see

The 1992 movie A League of Their Own shed light on an untold piece of American history, highlighting the women who played professional baseball in the 1940s while the nation’s men were fighting in World War II. (It still holds up, too.) Amazon’s new series adaptation — premiering this Friday; I’ve seen the first four episodes

The first teaser for NBC’s Password did this revival zero favors, edited as it was to make a game about the quiet, considered exchange of clues and guesses seem amped up, madcap and rife with Jimmy Fallon antics. But having now screened multiple installments of the eight-episode summertime revival (which kicks off tonight at 10/9c,

Roughly 45 minutes of that installment felt like a waste of time. For the Murphy and Max shippers who weren’t put off by their love story over the past two seasons, In The Dark Season 4 Episode 9 was memorable and an installment to cherish since we got an engagement. And for the rest of

Reality flies out the window whenever Days of Our Lives’ Dr. Rolf is around. Rolf gives people surgery to change their identities, creates magic masks that turn someone into a replica of their target — regardless of differences in height, weight, or build — and has a magical serum that brings people back to life…

They came out swinging, and it feels like we’re warding an empire burn to ash around us. Essentially, Animal Kingdom Season 6 Episode 9 was a game-changer of an installment that seemingly marks the beginning of the end. And the remaining installments, we’ll learn the fate of Codys as we know them. They’ve done a

Neil Patrick Harris spent nine seasons playing charming womanizer Barney Stinson on CBS’ How I Met Your Mother, and in his new Netflix comedy Uncoupled, his character Michael also wears nice suits and lives in New York City. But in other ways, Michael is the complete opposite of Barney: a mild-mannered gay man who has

It’s not easy being a mother. That was the message that shined throughout P-Valley Season 2 Episode 7. Providing their perspectives on motherhood were Mercedes, Autumn, Keyshawn, and even Uncle Clifford, in her own way. It’s becoming more and more apparent that Clifford is coming to a crossroads as she anticipates two significant losses in

Jack and Mel can’t win for losing! Only these two lovebirds would attempt a simple outing together for a bit of romance and end up stuck in a plane with a pilot having a heart attack. It wasn’t the only drama to happen on Virgin River Season 4 Episode 4, but it was the most

Rivervale is back, and it’s just as supernatural as ever. A trip to Riverdale’s “Upside Down” on Riverdale Season 6 Episode 20 was more a fact-finding mission than a spooky road trip adventure. Finding information on Riverdale’s current Big Bad was the name of the game, especially with the brewing war coming. But with only

OK. I’m convinced. I didn’t think I could possibly enjoy the last-minute twist that utilized an algorithm to choose the players. The Challenge: USA Season 1 Episode 2 showcased the full extent of the twist while filling in the blanks about the finer details of it, and ultimately, it really sets this spinoff apart from

Nathan Fielder’s brand of comedy is not for everyone. From his breakout Comedy Central show Nathan For You to HBO’s tiny gem How To With John Wilson (which he executive-produces), Fielder has perfected a very specific style of awkward, deadpan cringe comedy based on unscripted encounters with unsuspecting real people. Fans of his comedy (including

That was some murder trial. New twists and evidence kept turning up on All Rise Season 3 Episode 5, making the jury and viewers wonder if Carl Brewer was guilty or innocent. Even with the verdict in, that’s still the million-dollar question, and it will linger in the back of Luke’s and Mark’s minds in

Boy, are the young witches of the Bellweather Unit in over their heads! That became even more apparent on Motherland: Fort Salem Season 3 Episode 2. The problem is that when they were attending Fort Salem, there was a command structure, and they were given orders, which they followed at least a good portion of the

Early on in Prime Video’s The Terminal List, Chris Pratt’s Navy SEAL character James Reece is described as someone who’s “built to take a kick to the head.” Those words could easily describe this series, too — although maybe it’s taken a few too many kicks to the head already. A brutally violent and deadly

This season is so good! Even so, after Evil Season 3 Episode 3, I’m not entirely sure where we’re going next. The crux of this hour focused on how demonic activity infiltrates our daily life. Of course, it’s metaphorical. It’s a TV show. But it does lead to questioning what, exactly, is meant by demonic

If anyone can get us to sympathize with a clueless billionaire, it’s Maya Rudolph, right? The SNL alum has been a reliable source of laughs for two solid decades now, and it’s nice to see her get a well-deserved turn in the spotlight with the new Apple TV+ comedy Loot, premiering this Friday (I’ve seen

Life in Roswell post-Alex disappearing into the sand is pretty much the same. If you were hoping Alex’s mysterious kidnapping would be dealt with swiftly, then you were in for a shock on Roswell, New Mexico Season 4 Episode 3 because news of Alex evaporating into the sand hasn’t made its way to the alien/human

Things are changing at The Pynk and for those connected to it. If P-Valley Season 2 Episode 3 is any indication, it will be a wild ride. Let’s start with those who have escaped Chucalissa, at least for a time. The Dirty Dozen Tour, featuring Lil Murda and Miss Mississippi, appeared to be a huge success. People

Our girl is free at last! Felix was the MVP of In The Dark Season 4 Episode 2 by coming through with Murphy’s bail and springing her from the hell hole that was her living conditions at the correctional facility. Of course, everything comes with a price, and more trouble follows. If there is one

Yet another Salemite has been found lying in a pool of blood. On Days of Our Lives during the week of  6-05-22, Chad returned from watching a movie with the kids to find Abigail bleeding out on the bed, hours after they’d tried for a third baby. Tragic? Yes. But is it a compelling story?

Saying goodbye to Legacies is not going to be easy. Legacies Season 4 Episode 19 perfectly highlighted that there’s still a lot of life left in the series. It’s just unfortunate that we’ve been waiting all this time to see any form of stakes. The Vampire Diaries and The Originals killed off characters as the

Talk about a breath of fresh air! Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 16 was a return to form for the series. Thankfully, everyone has evaded nuclear-ravaged Texas, and it sounds like it will be the much-needed jolt in the right direction the series needs to make a watchable show again. Madison’s return was

Preparing for war is no easy task, and every single character on the show is at their most vulnerable. There was an ambivalent quality to Legacies Season 4 Episode 18 because many of the characters struggled to keep it together as they pondered the future. How do you decide what’s next when you don’t even

Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow are two of our greatest living actors, so it’s exciting to see them paired up as the stars of the new FX thriller The Old Man (debuting Thursday, June 16 at 10/9c). In fact, the promise of Bridges and Lithgow sharing the screen is almost enough on its own to

Fate keeps bringing Billy back to the wrong places. Billy reconnected with a pair of old friends and made a new ally on Billy the Kid Season 1 Episode 6. Most significant among these is that new friend, Pat Garrett, who will turn on Billy in a big way in the future. After this episode, Billy

We waited over 1000 days for fresh Stranger Things content, and if  Stranger Things Season 4 Episode 1 is the shape of things to come, then the Duffer Brothers have another winning season on their hands. I wasn’t sold initially on the characters being pulled apart because it felt like a forced development to tell

Everything went up in smoke. LIterally. Chicago Med Season 7 Episode 22 offered one of its trademark big cliffhangers s the season drew to a close. Unfortunately, this one means that we’re stuck with this stupid Milena/Scott plotline a while longer once Med returns in the fall. Med always goes for these huge season-ending cliffhangers.

By the time Part 1 of Stranger Things’ Season 4 drops on Friday, May 27, 1,058 days will have gone by. And that is one long-ass time between seasons of any show, however bitchin’ it may be. But I come bearing good, even awesome, news: Pandemic delays be damned, the seven super-sized episodes that we
