Spencer can’t stop being the hero, even to his detriment. That was just one thing that made prom night memorable on All American Season 4 Episode 7. Olivia and Spencer tried to keep a no-heroics pact for their big event. But they couldn’t help themselves. Spencer is still doing his best to sabotage his football career

Please tell me Henry’s kitchen faux pas was an isolated incident. On Blue Bloods Season 12 Episode 9, Jamie struggled with realizing his beloved grandfather was getting older after Henry accidentally left a burner on, causing a small fire in the kitchen. Henry seemed at peace with the possibility that someday his mind would fail

Warning: This review contains spoilers from Thursday’s And Just Like That… premiere. As a longtime Sex and the City fan — I even watch the butchered and bleeped reruns they air on E! — I was a little skeptical when HBO Max’s revival And Just Like That… was first announced. The movies weren’t great, the ladies are

A time of transition is coming for the teens of All American. That was the message reinforced on All American Season 4 Episode 6 by both the seniors enjoying Skip Day and the adults. There were moments of clarity for both young and old characters throughout the episode. It was an episode with blessedly little drama, a

Family drama, sibling rivalry, and not having your voice heard. Almost everyone can relate to these issues. Both Micki and Liam have been struggling with feeling like they’re not being heard, and in Walker Season 2 Episode 5, it all came to a head. The sibling rivalry between Liam and Cordell has built up all

It appears that Dark Passengers run in the family.  On Dexter: New Blood Season 1 Episode 4, Dexter confirms his suspicions that Harrison has violent tendencies, just like his dear old dad. Not only that, but now the identity of Iron Lake’s other serial killer is basically confirmed — as well as the people who might

Davis Calloway needs to face justice for his crimes. Gossip Girl (2021) Season 1 Episode 9 found Julien on a mission to help the survivors of her father’s crimes be heard, but by the end, the public were left with the feeling she was trying to silence them. It was a harrowing hour of this

A sobering message about the treatment of veterans was at the heart of this episode. The fact that this message was embedded in a hostage drama made it more effective on NCIS: Los Angeles Season 13 Episode 6. It was easy to feel for Gary DeMayo, the gunman who took a handful of bus riders hostage.

While the real Spike and Julia are being kept apart for narrative reasons, Cowboy Bebop Season 1 Episode 6 does a little end-run around that device by having the Londes AI root around in his brain. The production team had a helluva time with this Matrix-like adventure, I can tell. The visual effects as the

What matters more: evidence or perception? The debate over facts versus opinion raged on CSI: Vegas Season 1 Episode 7 both during the case of the week and the ongoing campaign against the Crime Lab. A bloody horse trotting up to a casino was a great jumping-off spot. Right off, we got to learn more about Josh

Rosamund Pike leads the charge in The Wheel of Time, Prime Video’s action-fantasy epic based on the long-running book series by Robert Jordan. With so much story to adapt in so little time, how does the potential Game of Thrones heir stack up? The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories

My, my, my. How Farr we have come! I know, I know, it’s terribly punny, but it’s the season finale! I won’t have another chance for MONTHS. By any measure, Doom Patrol Season 3 Episode 10 is a solid landing for a season that took us into the Afterlife, backward and forwards in time, and

Can Veronica Fuentes please slither back to the fiery pits of hell and reclaim her spot at Satan’s side where she belongs? Hopefully, this woman gets everything that she deserves and more. Her ongoing role as the harbinger of chaos, discord, and disruption continued on New Amsterdam Season 4 Episode 8, and now we’ve lost

With the names of comedy heavyweights Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd above the title, you’d probably expect Apple TV+’s The Shrink Next Door to be a silly laugh riot. But fair warning: It is not. The episode running times are actually a clue: The premiere is just 35 minutes, like a comedy, but later episodes

The desperate mission to find Mandy concluded on SEAL Team Season 5 Episode 6, and it was another pulse-pounding hour of this Paramount+ (!) drama. Mandy’s fate could really go either way because of Jessica Paré’s limited involvement with the show these days, but it didn’t make the search any less nail-biting. The moment the

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. That was never more obvious than on Blue Bloods Season 12 Episode 5, where both Danny and Anthony’s efforts to help someone led to more trouble. Meanwhile, Jamie’s mistrust of Eddie’s father also led to a dangerous situation, suggesting that sometimes there are no

That can’t be good. After Shaun spent most of The Good Doctor Season 5 Episode 5 obsessing over his patient feedback scores, Lea quietly omitted some negatives, and now he thinks he’s improved. The deception will come out sooner or later, and it won’t be good for Shaun’s career or his relationship with Lea. I

RELATED STORIES Judge Judy is still dispensing justice in reruns on daytime TV, but if you want new cases? You’ll have to head to IMDb TV, where the honorable Judith Sheindlin stars in a new courtroom show, Judy Justice, that made its streaming debut on Monday.

Shaun objected to a billboard that reduced him to “doctor with ASD,” only to change his mind when a child was inspired by it. The Good Doctor Season 5 Episode 4 focused on Shaun’s need to be less rigid and more open to other ideas. This realization was undoubtedly a good lesson, but was it

Working with the Albanian mob isn’t for the faint of heart. Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 2 Episode 6 featured a tongue removal so gruesome it was hard to watch and an assassination that might have been as much about getting revenge on Reggie as anything else. And with Lewis revealing that he knows

Things are heating up on The Rookie Season 4 Episode 4! The team found that everything was not what it seemed, from a call that went wrong to a hit and run turned into a kidnapping, which turned out to be connected to the suspect they’ve been hunting. It was entertaining to see them finally progressing

Thank goodness Vanessa’s crush wasn’t as big a deal as the spoiler video suggested. Chicago Med Season 7 Episode 4 was full of misdiagnosed patients, and Vanessa’s interactions with Marcel mostly centered around him insisting that she take breaks once in a while. This may not be over despite Vanessa’s embarrassment when Marcel didn’t return

Love and lies are in the air. With a new character to a different perspective, there’s suddenly an array of undiscovered possibilities. On Only Murders In the Building Season 1 Episode 9, we inch closer to the final revelations that will answer the question of the series — who killed Tim Kono? So, phew! Jan is

Not sure if The Rookie Season 4 Episode 3 was enjoyable or confusing! This episode left us a lot to think about, is there truly a serial killer on the loose? Lopez’s research near the end of the episode was undoubtedly enjoyable and was a good cliffhanger! However, the only critique is how you will

It’s an advantage-palooza on Survivor Season 41 Episode 3!  Tribe dynamics are settling and the castaways are starting to get a sense of who they want to play with.  One thing this season is already proving is just how eager everyone is to play — HARD. How did Brad suddenly find ALL the advantages? It seems

My first thought while watching the proudly weird, thoroughly charming new comedy Ghosts was: How is this on CBS? To be fair, the Eye network has moved past the days of “fat guy with a hot wife” sitcoms lately with a host of more thoughtful and bittersweet comedies like the recently departed Mom. But still,

Family in all its forms is complex, and so are the ties that bind us. We learn how tangled a web has been woven on Our Kind of People Season 1 Episode 2 as more secrets spill and dimension is added to many characters. Ms. Eve isn’t who we thought, and it seems everyone is keeping things

I, too, am feeling alright thanks to you, New Amsterdam! And with New Amsterdam Season 4 Episode 1, the best, most heartfelt medical drama on the air is back with a bang, quite literally. And I love that for us. We’re also diving all-in on Sharpwin, baby! New Amsterdam deserves all the credit in the
