Matt Infante/Peacock In the 1980 slasher “Friday the 13th,” we learned that “his name was Jason.” But in Peacock’s prequel series “Crystal Lake,” it’s all about Pamela. In the forthcoming horror series (which releases all eight episodes Thursday, October 15; watch the full trailer here), Linda Cardellini

Apple TV Watching TV is not typically a physically demanding activity, but you might get a decent cardiovascular workout watching “Lucky,” Apple TV’s new crime thriller starring Anya Taylor-Joy. Following a young woman on the lam who’s desperately trying to outrun both cops and criminals, “Lucky” —

CBS Since you’re probably reading this review on your phone or on your laptop, you’re well aware of how deeply technology has permeated our everyday lives. (Unless you printed this out to read on paper, in which case: Respect!) Robert and Michelle King’s new CBS drama “Cupertino”

October brings chills, sweater weather, and gorgeous fall leaves. But more importantly, Halloween’s only a few weeks away. Spooky season is upon us, TV Fanatics. Halloween is my favorite time of the year! Between the fun-size candy and endless horror movies, plenty of ghoulish treats top the list. (Eric Liebowitz/FX) Horror and spooky-themed TV shows,

Don’t you just love it when your favorite show is back on time and is still as good as you remember? That’s what I feel about Marshals, and the season premiere doesn’t disappoint.  There are so many good things packed in here as the Tom Weaver arc comes to an end, and the story progresses.

We’re back in Tracker land, where everything mostly stays the same. Colter is still in the airstream, living off coffee, eggs, and early morning runs, and someone needs rescuing. There’s something nice about the predictability of it all, like meeting up with an old friend you haven’t seen in a while, but the minute you

Silo Season 4 is coming, although Apple has decided we must all practice patience until July 9, 2027. I know it’s rude, but at least the final season has a date. We now have plenty of time to obsess over Juliette Nichols theories like people who desperately need another hobby. And thankfully, dark sci-fi has

The Great British Baking Show is known for being the most positive food competition around. With cozy bakes, endearing contestants, and hosts who come across as gentle & friendly, The Great British Baking Show is like a blanket on a cold night: comforting. However, as the years passed, viewers have increasingly taken issue with a

Just once, could a dead character stay dead? Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 10-05-26 promise that Kristen will have an eerie run-in at a random diner somewhere — with the young woman she supposedly killed. What are the odds of that? (Peacock/Screenshot) Maybe This Unlikely Story Will Lead To Justice The

Are you locked in and loaded, ready to see which characters got our attention this week? We have quite the list of them, and if you want to see more of what our TV Fanatics have to say or how they feel about these characters, then click around the site and find those reviews and

Welcome to Coven Academy: the most spellbinding supernatural drama in over ten years. The new series highlights why Briar’s Coven is the most addictive magic circle on television since 2011. While the show embodies the fierce, ride-or-die sisterhood of Charmed, it strips away the cozy, monster-of-the-week mystery. Instead, it leans heavily into the dark, seductive,

The Pigeon sisters are everything I could’ve possibly wanted, and I need more! We may have gone into Anna Pigeon Season 1 Episode 9 ready to riot over sweet Jesse, but a girl was quickly distracted when we finally got that in-person Pigeon sister reunion. And a busy hour answered the question of who shot

When it comes to movies, I play favorites.  No genre do I return to more than the romcom. I long for its golden era — the late ’80s through the early 2000s — when the writing was sharp, the romance dazzled, and the outfits defined an era of fashion.  We didn’t know how good we

Dark Matter is firing on all cylinders. The Sophomore Slump is a real phenomenon, and often, shows slide around aimlessly as they try to recapture the success of their first season while expanding it. Dark Matter isn’t suffering from anything close. (Courtesy of Apple TV) You would have thought that the possibility was genuine here,

I expected to dislike the people in HBO’s War, since that is basically a given in shows like this. I wasn’t expecting to be this indifferent to what happens to them. War Season 1 Episode 1 gives us a nasty celebrity divorce without making the marriage, or the people fighting over it, particularly interesting. There

Spoiler warning: This review discusses the entire series and the novel’s ending. East of Eden broke my heart more often through its supposedly good father than its murderous mother. That’s where this uneven adaptation finds its strongest drama. Zoe Kazan’s departure from John Steinbeck’s treatment of Cathy is welcome, but the series spends too much

I’m thrilled that Scrubs is back… but what was with the opening scenes? Scrubs Season 11 offered back-to-back episodes that raised the stakes for Dr. Cox — and his former interns turned senior doctors. They were brilliant, but I almost lost faith in the series during the first few minutes. (Disney/Sergei Bachlakov) JD Having Sex

The Ark explores whether clones are human, a debate you’ll find in many works of fiction. Are people genetically engineered for something and built rather than born, really human, or are they a machine that has no rights? While The Ark Season 3 Episode 10 doesn’t delve further into that debate — and it doesn’t

There’s no denying that The Walking Dead is my favorite TV franchise. It may be well past its prime, but I’ll still watch every new episode of any show in that universe. The biggest issue I have with the state of The Walking Dead as a whole right now is that the franchise has been

Nothing illustrates why River Cartwright is Slough House through and through better than pairing him with a capable agent like Sid Baker. Even with a piece of a bullet named Poirot still lodged in her skull, she still runs circles around him and all his emotional baggage. Which only makes her faith in Diana Taverner

If I had to choose one hero of this hour of Doc, it wasn’t actually Ben Grant, TJ, or a mostly undefeated Amy, but rather rural medicine. Doc Season 3 Episode 2 was more case-heavy than ever, and it was probably all the better for it, giving us an interesting case with young Theo and

There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t want more of some of my favorite American Horror Story characters. When American Horror Story Season 8, “Apocalypse” premiered, I felt short-changed because the witches were nowhere to be seen. Then, they popped up a few episodes in and completely took over the story. I

Apparently, it’s never too early for the Gang to start preparing for Christmas.  In pursuit of the perfect Christmas card photo, Mac and Dennis butt heads with none other than poor Charlie, who gets stuck in the middle of their argument.  Meanwhile, Dee and Frank run around town, trying to figure out what Mac and

Every TV show goes all out for its pilot episode because that’s what sells it to interested parties. Line of Fire Season 1 Episode 1 was fast-paced, quick-witted, and intriguing. But an excellent series premiere doesn’t mean that the succeeding episodes will carry the same quality. (Spencer Pazer/NBC) After Line of Fire Season 1 Episode

I can’t be the only person who’s tired of reboots. No matter how desperate I am to find something new to watch, reboots are almost always my last option. Out of all shows, I never thought I’d live to see the day Glee got a reboot. (FOX/ Screenshot) There’s no denying that Glee is a

One of my biggest concerns after Lanterns Season 1 Episode 5 was that the story would peak midseason. The alien-and-manhunter mystery seemed like the show’s most exciting arc, and when it resolved so early, I wasn’t sure the narrative could keep up the energy. Lanterns is one of those shows where, even if an episode

Tony, it’s a hostage situation. Can the grown man you’ve kidnapped please have the last beer instead of you pouring it down the drain? You don’t give a potentially dying man a glass of milk. Puhlease. We’ve already attacked American Hostage from the serious side. Our premiere review and interviews go to the heart of

It’s that time of year again! The coziest time of year when you can grab a cup of tea, curl up on the couch, and watch The Great British Baking Show. This year, a new judge is replacing Prue Leith. The one and only Nigella Lawson has taken on the impressive role of Bake Off
