Look, let’s put this in words easy to understand. We just want to have nice things. And sometimes, nice things come from couples we root for on TV. Yes, we’re looking Mickey and Travis on Sheriff Country. (Darren Goldstein/CBS) Just as Mickey and Travis got back together on Sheriff Country, they broke up again. During

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 6-08-26 suggest there may be a tragedy in store for one character, and it’s not one that’s terribly surprising. Ever since Stephanie insisted on getting a gun, it was only a matter of time before she shot the wrong person with it. The only question is

This week delivered some of TV’s most compelling and unforgettable characters and moments. Whether it was Euphoria and Your Friends & Neighbors or Off Campus, these characters reminded us why we become so emotionally invested in fictional lives. From heartbreaking losses and hard-won triumphs to raw vulnerability and messy humanity, these are the TV characters

There is no doubt that Grey’s Anatomy has struggled with its storylines, especially those involving the new interns. Over the last two seasons, there has been a lot of focus on Lucas and Jules, and it’s meant very little development for both Blue and Simone.  I’ve already said that if Grey’s Anatomy can’t figure out

Ending Euphoria after Season 3 was the right call because there was nowhere honest left for this show to go after Rue Bennett’s death. I know that sounds harsh, and believe me, I didn’t enjoy watching a series built around Zendaya’s bruising, brilliant performance choose such a bleak goodbye. But Euphoria was never designed to

Happy Pride Month, TV Fanatics! In recent years, more and more queer shows have been popping up. After all, Heated Rivalry has completely taken over the internet, and Heartstopper has become an instant classic among LGBTQ+ young adults. (Sabrina Lantos/Crave) But before the recent boom in LGBTQ+ representation, there had been a long struggle to

Apple TV We’ve seen the story of “Cape Fear” on screen several times by now: in the original 1962 film starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum; in the 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro; and even in the brilliant “Simpsons” parody that

In many ways, Donna is the glue that keeps FROMville together. She and Boyd have been the town’s leaders, helping guide and protect its residents while inexplicable horrors pop up seemingly every day, hellbent on breaking their spirits and capturing their souls. She’s an essential piece of that town. (Chris Reardon/MGM+) When Donna suffered a

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 Brilliant Minds Season 2 Episode 16 did one of the best jobs of standing against the stigma and shame that is so often associated with needing mental health treatment. Nichols’ speech to the board was everything that needed to be said, and then some — and we don’t get

It’s never easy when your favorite TV show gets canceled. After spending years watching networks pull the plug on promising series far too soon, The Hunting Party ending after two seasons didn’t come as a huge surprise. Despite landing a stronger lead-in from Law & Order: SVU, the drama never drew the audience NBC hoped

Critic’s Rating: 4.25 / 5.0 4.25 So many shows nowadays are made for people who spend their time scrolling through Instagram or TikTok while watching. Thankfully, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed isn’t one of those shows. Seriously, I’m stunned that we’re four episodes in and the twists and turns keep getting better. Maybe it’s the half-hour runtime,

Look, we all hated Battalion Chief Andre Hopkins on Chicago Fire Season 14. He immediately came in with a grudge against Severide, creating tension within the firehouse. However, Hopkins’ arc could have been a potentially amazing one, touching on a very real problem, and it’s something Chicago Fire Season 15 needs to revisit. (Peter Gordon/NBC)

Marshals just gave Kayce Dutton the fuller, heavier, and more meaningful story Yellowstone had been hinting at for years. And I think a lot of us can feel the difference right away. If you have followed Kayce from the beginning, you know he was never just John Dutton’s quiet son who stood in the background

We know character deaths have to happen, but that doesn’t make them any easier to deal with. In some cases, the deaths break our hearts because we’re so attached to the characters; in others, it’s about how the others on the show are feeling. Deaths can be a beautiful end to a bigger story, or

The start of Love Island is the unofficial summer kickoff. Or at least it should be treated that way. The sudsy, drama-filled reality TV staple returns to Peacock ready to unleash another group of single people in bikinis and colorful swim trunks as they search for connections under the blazing Fiji sun for our enjoyment.

All season long, there have been questions about whether Euphoria Season 3 would conclude the HBO hit. Truthfully, I figured the show would remain alive for another season with a new generation of characters, allowing it to return to high school. But now that I’ve watched Euphoria Season 3 Episode 8 and had some time

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 Casey or KC (take your pick) returns on The Way Home Season 4 Episode 7, finally laying to rest our speculation about Sam in the process. And it brings to light one of my most significant questions of the series so far, which I don’t believe will be resolved

Critic’s Rating: 4.2 / 5.0 4.2 As we enter the second half of FROM Season 4, you can start to see where it’s headed. It’s been slow-moving at times, as the show has been over the years, with the scares slowing down and giving way to more character-heavy hours focused on people’s emotions while dropping

For a show that has turned into a shock value spectacle, Euphoria Season 3 fumbled one of its biggest character deaths. Nate’s death surprised me only because I felt nothing at all while watching it. And that feeling of emptiness is indicative of this series’ most prominent issue. (Eddy Chen/HBO) Euphoria Season 3 has given

Critic’s Rating: 4.3 / 5.0 4.3 Beth and Rip are people persons. They know how other people operate, and once they figure someone out, it becomes easier to secure a win. But life presents some problems that charisma, intimidation, and sheer bullishness can’t solve. This lesson applies to everyone. (Emerson Miller/Paramount+) Following the outbreak of

This is going to hurt. Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 6-01-26 suggest the beginning of the end of a miraculous resurrection. I’m not surprised, but I’m bracing myself for Abe and Theo’s heartbreak, although this ending also feels like a cop-out. (Peacock/Screenshot) Lexie Pressures Abe Just Before Bad News Hits Days

This week delivered a remarkable collection of character-driven moments, with familiar favorites revealing new layers of themselves and scene-stealers reminding us why we love them in the first place. From fierce loyalty and heartbreaking vulnerability to impossible decisions and unforgettable performances, these are the TV characters who stood out from the pack this week. Dive

For better or worse, Baywatch is one of the buzziest shows of the 2026-27 season. Reboots have been the bane of my existence in this industry because I immediately have my guard up, as they rarely hold a candle to their predecessors. But FOX was quick to announce that this new series would actually have

Lifetime’s Where the Heart Lands delivers everything audiences love about comfort romance films: sweeping scenery, emotional sincerity, humor, heart, and a meaningful journey of self-discovery. And that’s what star Tyler Johnson brings to the role of Nick. But ultimately, what resonated most with the star, and what he hopes people connect with most, wasn’t just

Cameo appearances can be a lot of fun, and both NCIS and The Testaments recently opted for them. NCIS brought back Sam Hanna for two episodes, and his appearance quickly took over the story — and definitely not in the right way. Meanwhile, The Testaments brought back both June and Rita, and the two characters

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 I wasn’t sure Star City was a good idea. We saw the crushing defeat the Americans suffered in For All Mankind. It was loud and traumatizing. Revisiting the space race from behind the Iron Curtain initially felt like a cynical, franchise-stretching cash grab from Apple TV.  (Courtesy of Apple

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 Now that the entire thing is out there in the open, I have no idea how to feel about it. Half Man finally comes to an end after six intense weeks, and I don’t mean intense just for the characters, because this show has made me work. Somewhere between

Seeing your favorite actors in different roles is always entertaining. Sometimes, it’s fun to see a fan favorite reprise a role and shake up the dynamics on a beloved show. Other times, it’s both entertaining and challenging to see a talented actor take on a new killer role. (Fred Hayes, Greg Gayne/CBS, Darko Sikman/CBS) These

For much of Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2, Ali has quietly become one of the show’s most emotionally revealing characters. While Coop’s life spirals into increasingly dangerous territory, Ali’s journey has been quieter, sadder, and, in many ways, more relatable: trying to reclaim ownership of herself after everyone around her has decided she is

Every TV show goes through creative resets at times, but Euphoria Season 3 kicked things off with so many changes that it might as well have been a brand-new show. The characters had the same names, but they didn’t feel like the people we left behind at the end of Euphoria Season 2. Of course,
