Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 No matter what situation they find themselves in, Maggie and Negan somehow prevail. The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 Episode 7 was no different, serving up a fascinating hour that delved deeper into their complicated dynamic. There’s always been this ambiguity about how they would react when they

Critic’s Rating: 4.1 / 5.0 4.1 If you’ve always wondered how this all began, today is your day. Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 2 gives us our first glimpse of the day Jason2 and pals discovered the box was reality.  We were there for the celebration and to discover that Blair volunteered to be the

We’re in the home stretch of Big Brother Season 28, so we thought we’d revamp our coverage of the eviction episodes. Truthfully, they’re difficult to cover live with the opinions we love to bring our readers, but we’re also aware that people can’t watch the episodes live and just want the answers to the most

Outer Banks fans know all too well that to buy into the show’s unhinged reality, a healthy suspension of disbelief is required. You think previous seasons pushed the limits of credulity? Outer Banks Season 5 turns the chaos dial up to 100, leaving me questioning not just the sanity of the characters and writers, but

Critic’s Rating: 2 / 5.0 2 Now would be a good time for me to admit that I’m not a fan of slashers. I find them to be the bottom of the barrel of horror because most don’t have anything solid to grasp onto. It’s just loud noises and blood. (FX) So I haven’t been

The last time we were with Kayce Dutton and his new Marshals team, they had just won a massive battle. However, the war is far from over. Someone had been creeping around East Camp and Broken Rock, and their final play came into focus in Marshals Season 1 Episode 13, leaving Kayce and Tate’s lives

If you thought you’ve been enjoying Anna Pigeon, I assure you that some of the faces behind USA Network’s latest hit series are just as entertaining offscreen as they are on. To set the groundwork, despite some technical difficulties on my end — an internet outage, a few cell phone bars, and crossed fingers mere

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 After four episodes of dropping breadcrumbs about its romantic subplots, Ted Lasso Season 4 Episode 5 is finally putting its relationships in the spotlight.  So far, Ted Lasso Season 4 has left us wondering about the future of Rebecca and Matthijs, Keeley and Roy, Ted and Michelle, and (for

The official teaser for Tulsa King Season 4 has arrived, and it’s full of strutting mobsters and violence, just like we want! The series will make its triumphant return to Paramount+ on October 14, and, as we have since the beginning, we’ll be dissecting every episode. Are we ready? Hell, yeah. We’re ready! (Steve Swisher/Paramount+)

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 All American has only a few episodes left before the series concludes. It ramped up the stakes when Olivia went into labor several weeks early, at the same time as the football showcase. Many fans predicted this weeks ago because that predicament would test Jordan, Cassius, and KJ in

It’s been a whirlwind of a few days inside the Big Brother House, but the icons should be very worried. Hayley fell victim to the Medieval twist, and her game came to an abrupt conclusion. Drew followed that up with a Head of Household win that found him putting LaTrice, Taylor, and Yash on the

Sometimes even a good movie leaves a lot on the table. It could be characters too interesting to let go of. Or plots with on-ramps to new adventures. It could even be concepts with so much potential that two hours cannot begin to capture them. So TV writers take the ball and run with it,

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 3.5 I’m always up for seeing ensemble characters have independent adventures. It’s smart to remind them and the audience that every character can succeed on their own if forced to. While Charlie doesn’t often get to solve magical dilemmas, it not improbable that when adventure calls, she answers. (Courtesy of

The Big Brother gods gave us a little treat this weekend. After the 1,000th-episode extravaganza, Julie Chen Moonves introduced an unprecedented twist, while also informing us that live feeds would be unavailable until after Sunday night’s episode. But that doesn’t seem to be the case because feeds are back, baby! And there’s a lot to

Critic’s Rating: 3.75 / 5.0 3.75 Okay, Lioness isn’t following any playbook for the dual timelines. I’ve come to terms with just buckling up and enjoying the ride, no matter what timeline we’re in, because it’s a lot of fun even when it’s difficult to follow. Lioness Season 3 Episode 5 delved into the inner

It’s hard to believe that the Big Brother Gods rewarded us patient fans with live feeds on Saturday evening, after host Julie Chen told us to go touch some grass and expect them back on Sunday evening. Her statement during Big Brother’s 1000th episode stirred up the fan base like never before because the very

Can we just a minute to appreciate women? Actually, we’ll take a few minutes. Oh, yeah, and their allies, too, because shout-out to the best man on Furious, thank you very much. If anything, our Characters of the Week prove that women can hold their own and be compelling to watch in the process, so

I’ve known for a while that Holly, Tate, Chanel, and Johnny are all leaving Days of Our Lives. I wish they weren’t — we have a shortage of interesting younger characters, and all of them have interesting storylines. Worse still, Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 8-31-26 suggest that these couples will

Critic’s Rating: 4.1 / 5.0 4.1 Do you know that discourse about whether women should choose the man or the bear? Well, switch “bear” out with “storm,” and the answer remains the same. One simple camping trip out with friends can turn into something out of a horror movie if your man-picker is broken. Sheesh!

The recipe for an unforgettable TV couple has a few essential ingredients. Take a heap of sizzling chemistry, add just the right dose of angst and slow burn (this is key: not too much, not too little), and throw in a scoop of authenticity, mutual respect and encouragement, and you’ve got a couple worth shipping. 

Critic’s Rating: 3.8 / 5.0 3.8 Gen Z may not be tuning into sitcoms like Friends anymore, but Adults Season 2 carries on the spirit of classic New York City friendship TV shows into the present.  The eight-episode sophomore season of this FX series is a bite-sized fun time. And now that you’ve had time to

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 We are entering new territory in the Blake Crouch-created worlds of Dark Matter. If you read the book, you know that it was left open when, at the end, Jason1, Daniela1, and Charlie1 stepped into the box and took their chances if it meant escaping an ever-growing crowd of

Apparently we can have great things! The critically acclaimed revenge-thriller that serves as a scintillating exploration of trauma, rape culture, and misogyny is blessedly getting the due it deserves. It’s also getting a second season, and I couldn’t be more enthused about it. (Disney/Sarah Shatz) LOLA PETTICREW, EMMY RO) What may have started as a

Is it really Big Brother without a pre-eviction Waffle Wednesday? And this week, the live feeds were filled with back-and-forth as the truth about Dee targeting Mallory came to light. The big surprise? Barrett grew a backbone and actually decided to go to a side of the house that didn’t involve the icons. (CBS/Screenshot) It

Critic’s Rating: 4.2 / 5.0 4.2 From the very beginning, Eva has refused to believe that Brice is dead on The Ark Season 3. Finally, people have been willing to listen to her. Of course, this time she had enough to back up her theories. As a small team headed back to Ross-128, Felix found

Bad Monkey Season 2 isn’t that far off, so Andrew Yancy’s next disaster is no longer just fan wishful thinking. Apple is bringing Vince Vaughn back as Yancy, the Miami detective turned Keys health inspector, and Season 1 left him with plenty to deal with. Nick Stripling died by Neville’s hand, Eve choked on a

With Thursday’s eviction on the horizon, the Big Brother house is getting prepared for several different scenarios. Dee has made her point by nominating Mallory after LaTrice came off the block, and she just has to stay true to her decision. Mallory has understandably been frustrated with Dee’s choice and has even opened up to

Critic’s Rating: 4.4 / 5.0 4.4 Things certainly got wild this week for the AFC Richmond women’s team, and I ate up every second of it.  When you take a pub quiz and turn it into an all-out brawl against a group of misogynistic men, landing the entire team (including Ted!) briefly in jail, you’d

How do you create a spinoff for a series 30 years later? That’s the first question that came to mind when I first heard about the Martin spinoff, which would focus exclusively on a notable character: Varnell Hill. And I can be the first to say I had my doubts, but then the trailer reveals

Dark Matter began with an irresistible nightmare: What if another version of you wanted your life badly enough to take it? But once you accept that countless versions of yourself may exist, an even more unsettling question emerges. What, exactly, makes you you? That was the question I most wanted to explore with Dark Matter
