Days of Our Lives loves repeating itself, but this time it’s ridiculous. Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 9-28-26 have all the veterans accidentally getting high on pot donuts—including Julie, who already made this mistake in 2013. This silly storyline distracts from more interesting things, and it isn’t even original. (Peacock/Screenshot) The

This week gave us characters who could have easily been reduced to familiar genre archetypes but instead surprised us with layers, vulnerability, and emotional depth. From a lost Jason Dessen finally building a life of his own to Neagley confronting the demons she’s spent years outrunning and Hondo finding himself at one of his lowest

Every Big Brother season, in the days leading up to the finale, fans debate which of the three remaining houseguests deserves to win the most. They tally competition wins, game moves, and social capital to crown one person the winner over the other two, while fans on the other side argue for someone else. Virtually

A celebrity’s self-parody always tries to pass itself off as vandalism. The star rips down the positive image built up around them, shows how vain it all was, and proves they can take a joke. Usually, however, self-parody is renovation. In Apple TV’s Brothers, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson play exaggerated versions of themselves, whose

Excuse me, Anna Pigeon, why are you so rude to us? Most of Anna Pigeon Season 1 Episode 8 was a depressing, tragic ride, but in the last minute or so, the series goes for the jugular by harming Anna Pigeon’s very own human version of a Golden Retriever. Fine, we’ll ride at dawn for

By now we know that Neagley has dethroned Reacher; long may she reign — and it’s not surprising, as the series has emerged as one of the year’s most unexpected, quiet triumphs. It’s an unexpected assertion to make given that, on the surface, it’s not the type of series people would assume would have as

We never saw what happened to the Jasons after Jason, Daniela, and Charlie left their world, hoping to find somewhere safe and still. But Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 5 gave us a deeper understanding of how painful those events were for them. Much of the show has focused on our foundational family unit, but

There are so many great things to say about The Traitors: New Blood, but the most important praise has to go to the casting team. After The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 3 and The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 4, it’s obvious that this cast came to play. They’re not going to

Netflix School is back in session at Hillman College. Nearly 40 years after Jasmine Guy’s Whitley Gilbert and Kadeem Hardison’s Dwayne Wayne graced our screens as the leads of the 1987 sitcom “A Different World,” the characters are back with a sequel series (all 10 episodes are

It’s a different world from where you come from. Welcome back to Hillman University, where some things have changed, and others have stayed the same. No matter what expectations you may have coming into this revival, some 30-plus years in the making, I think we can all admit it feels good to be back. (Daniel

Many were likely apprehensive about S.W.A.T. Exiles when it was first announced. Many questions came up about the show and its vibe, especially given how quietly and quickly the spinoff happened as S.W.A.T. ended. It’s okay to be apprehensive and nervous, but it’s also important to go into the new series with an open mind.

Everyone has their Netflix pet peeve. Binge drops, short seasons, delayed seasons, abrupt cancellations — those are all legitimate complaints, but they’re external problems that might not affect storytelling. I think Netflix has found another way to ruin storytelling. (Eric Zachanowich/Netflix) The Second-Screen Problem People often claim its shows are written for viewers who aren’t

Random thought: What was Jackson Lamb’s family like? As in the one he grew up with? One doesn’t get to be the way he is without some sort of foundational basis. Something gave him a love for the misfit. Under all that filth and foul language, he harbors a real affection for his Joes, and

The past most certainly isn’t done with Amy just yet. Doc’s highly anticipated return brings us back to Amy’s Westside world on Doc Season 3 Episode 1, and with it, we have some hints at what the season can have in store for us. A flashback-heavy hour brings new insight and clarity, plus new faces

Once upon a time… Star Trek fans tuned in for the craziest adventures, wackiest costumes, and most creative narratives the galaxy had to offer. Only recently has it become harder for audience members to remember how fun Star Trek can be. The Elysian Kingdom holds the key to bringing balance to La’an as she tries

We finally got a football game. ​All American Season 8 has had its highs and lows, and the lack of football has been noted. ​The writers continued giving each main character a special episode, and All American Season 8 Episode 12 focused on KJ and the pressure he felt to make the showcase succeed. (Kevin

The Gang has indulged in their fair share of conspiracy theories over the years, but this one might be their most outlandish one yet. The latest episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia asks audiences to cast their minds back to the ’60s by parodying the sitcom Gilligan’s Island. I was initially a skeptic of

NBC We’ve watched enough TV drama pilots by now that we can almost feel it coming: the big, shocking plot twist at the very end of the pilot that Changes Everything and leaves us dying to see the next episode to find out what happens next. (Well,

Some true stories make you wonder why anyone bothered dramatizing them, and then there are stories like Tony Kiritsis and his infamous dead man’s line that get the treatment again and again. I’d already watched the independent film. That sent me to the documentary.  That sent me down the internet rabbit hole, because once you

After the explosive events of Lanterns Season 1 Episode 5, I wondered where we go from here. Part of me expected the beginning of a showdown between John Stewart and the Guardians, but what happens in this hour is just as interesting. The show jumps ahead ten years and catches us in the present timeline

For an episode clocking in at 70 minutes, Lioness Season 3 Episode 8 sure made the most of every minute, leaving us with a tantalizing tease for a potential fourth season. And the actual hell? Aaliyah is back, and she’s out for blood. Aaliyah was a massive part of Lioness Season 1, and after Cruz

It’s way beyond time for Johnny to stand up to his father. Johnny’s willingness to help EJ cover up his crimes for “the good of the family” is incredibly disappointing and out of character. Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 9-21-26 say that Johnny and EJ will have an intense confrontation, but

With five people still playing, Big Brother Season 28 is winding down. But there’s still plenty of game left to play. Thursday night’s double eviction saw Barrett and Yash leave the game and become the third and fourth members of the jury. (CBS/Screenshot) In the aftermath, Pharaoh’s Curse was unleashed on the game. Based on

Lioness Season 3 Episode 7 had me distrusting almost everyone before they even opened their mouths. Every phone call looked suspicious, every pause felt loaded, and every new arrival had me bracing for another betrayal. Joe survived her kidnapping, which should have offered some relief. (Paramount+/Ryan Green) Bobby drove Joe home, where Neal and the

Can the real Mark Skweikis please stand up? Okay, obviously, he can’t. RIP, good sir, but you get the joke. For those of us who find Frederick Stanton and his dynamic with Anna compelling, Anna Pigeon Season 1 Episode 7 was a fun and interesting watch. But boy does our girl land in some sticky,

It’s time to swing those hips, kick those legs, and glide across the dance floor. That’s right, a record-breaking Dancing with the Stars Season 35 has begun. This has been one of the best casts in recent years, since I recognized more than half of the stars, and many of them attempted entertaining first routines.

For much of Lioness Season 3, Neal has been completely in the dark. While Joe has been pulled deeper and deeper into danger, Neal has been left to worry about his wife and children without really knowing what’s happening or when Joe will be coming home. That uncertainty has taken its toll. (Ryan Green/Paramount+) Following

We have reached the point in the story where the adrenaline that fueled everyone for the last year of their lives begins to wane. And they’re left in the aftermath, spent and lost.  It’s particularly rough since they are literally lost. Not just to themselves, but to their worlds. Every character feels it to a

I’ve been yearning for civilians on the stateside iteration of The Traitors for years, and NBC has finally answered my calls with The Traitors: New Blood. One thing that’s always set the celebrity-filled Peacock edition apart from its international counterparts is that every star is there to put on a show. Whether they’re playing up

I have a bad habit. Every year I watch the Emmys knowing I’m going to get frustrated with the awards, and every year I end up feeling the exact same way. While the ceremony itself was surprisingly bearable this year (last year’s charity countdown timer was a total disaster), I was shocked by the overwhelming
