So much for Sophia being alive, at least for now. Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 5-25-26 promise that Amy Choi will be devastated by what is found in the river, which can only mean one thing: Sophia’s body. Of course, this will lead to more ridiculous lashing out at Holly, but

Some characters entertain us. Others completely hijack an episode, leaving us unable to stop thinking about them. Our Characters of the Week delivered a little bit of everything: emotional revelations, undercover chaos, dangerous mind games, shocking truths, and even a reminder that joy can still exist amid everything. From Nick embracing time travel like the

Critic’s Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 2.5 That was surprisingly chill! It’s unlike Fire Country not to make drastic narrative decisions in the finale. As a result, Fire Country Season 4 Episode 20 “Try Not to Drown” is the calmest everything has ever been, considering the flooding, of course. (CBS/Screenshot) Part of the calmness comes from

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 Season finales are the hardest things to get right, but for the most part, Boston Blue nailed theirs. We had several interesting and exciting storylines, including Lena getting shot, Mae trying to protect her relationship from being used in dirty politics, and Jonah learning not to judge people with

To say that Grey’s Anatomy is one of the biggest TV shows ever would be a severe understatement. Earlier in its run, the show was hitting 30 million live viewers and dominating the conversation across social media. No matter where you looked, something Grey’s Anatomy-related was out there. (Disney/Anne Marie Fox) With the news that

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 The women in Coop’s life are experiencing repercussions and breaking free from the norm. Even while most of “I Feel Lost Without Me” revolves around those women, Coop is taking drastic measures to be the man he believes they need him to be. Yet even that desire doesn’t come

Critic’s Rating: 4.8 / 5.0 4.8 It’s a tradition now. Two years in a row, Elsbeth has wrapped up its season with an episode that centers around music. Elsbeth Season 3 Episode 20 wasn’t a musical episode (thankfully!) and didn’t have the ridiculous Elsbeth-in-jail drama, but it did feature an aging singer who was the

When Bravo announced In the City, an extension of the Summer House franchise, I remember thinking: Why? On paper, the spinoff had no right to exist because the mothership had been running on fumes for years, so how would throwing a new show into the mix help things? Then I watched In the City Season

By now, you’ve likely already seen ABC’s fall 2026 schedule and probably have a few thoughts about how it’s been structured. I know I do. On paper, ABC’s 2026 to 2027 lineup creates an odd contradiction. It somehow feels both crowded and underutilized at the same time. The thing that stands out to me is

Apple TV Tatiana Maslany gave such a titanic performance in “Orphan Black” — five titanic performances, actually, playing a host of genetic clones in BBC’s America’s twisty sci-fi favorite — that I’d pretty much watch her in anything after that. Since then, she’s starred in “She-Hulk” and

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 Before we get this party started, I have to ask: Have you noticed how many people are talking about Widow’s Bay? It’s everywhere! My sister called me to ask about it because someone she heard on a podcast was singing its praises. A DJ on SiriusXM called it the

Did anyone else anticipate a Grey’s Anatomy “spinoff” this late in the game? Truthfully, I did not. While it feels like the primary series has been on life support for a while, diehard fans and the network have been clinging to it, unwilling to pull the plug. And so much of the series lost its

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed has one of the more unexpected origin stories for a TV series title — and that’s entirely the point. The series comes from creator David J. Rosen, who revealed the idea began with something as random as a spam email. “Well, the very first spark came from a spam email that I

Critic’s Rating: 4.7 / 5.0 4.7 Whew. Thank goodness OA is okay. After his near miss with his new boss, he appeared forced to choose between his morals and his job after a traumatic confrontation. The series revealed what was really going on just before the credits rolled, making for one hell of a cliffhanger.

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 3.5 After finding out that Toni was alive at the end of CIA Season 1 Episode 11, it wasn’t surprising to find out we would get a flashback. It finally filled in some of the blanks about everything that happened a year earlier. However, the CIA Season 1 Finale delivered

Don’t be fooled by The Audacity’s brand as a show about power-hungry tech CEOs. This AMC series also spotlights mental health through several storylines. The most prominent is JoAnne’s. She is the main character, Duncan’s therapist, who has to balance her own desires with her obligations to her clients. (Ed Araquel/AMC) The Audacity also brings

Critic’s Rating: 4.8 / 5.0 4.8 The thing about FROM is that at any moment you can be lured into a bubble of exposition, only to be jump-scared out of your mind when the sun goes down. This season has been heavy on characters, and as we’re now officially halfway through, the tides may be

Critic’s Rating: 4.7 / 5.0 4.7 There is something in the water when Tracker brings Russell Shaw back to town. The sun shines a little brighter. The jokes are a little funnier. Russell always brings a little extra to the mix, and when you center an hour purely around the Shaw Family drama, with no

There’s been a lot of talk about the entire NCIS franchise these days. The flagship series has been making noise with shocking developments. NCIS: Origins is one of the best shows on primetime, devoted fans will never give up on NCIS: Hawai’i, and the NCIS: NY spinoff has been one of the most polarizing announcements

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 At the end of Sheriff Country’s last episode, we were left with an unsurprising cliffhanger. Thanks to her father’s involvement in the illegal weed co-op, Mickey was considered compromised, and why wouldn’t she be? I have no issue with the DEA looking into her ability to act as the

Who said happy couples kill soaps? Steve and Kayla haven’t always been happy, of course, but they are one of Salem’s longest-running, most popular couples for a reason, and they deserve the trip down memory lane they’re about to take. The happy couple stands in stark contrast to several others, as Days of Our Lives

Television was operating at an emotional high this week, giving us characters forced to confront impossible choices, painful truths, and years of unresolved trauma. Some found closure. Others spiraled deeper into chaos. But all of them delivered unforgettable performances and storylines that elevated their respective series. These are our Characters of the Week. Abe and

Critic’s Rating: 3 / 5.0 3 Fire Country’s season finale emergencies are legendary. The mudslide in Season 1, the helicopter crash in Season 2, and the Zabel Ridge fire in Season 3. All these emergencies make you feel an impending sense of doom from the first minute. (Courtesy of CBS) So it comes as no

Critic’s Rating: 4.8 / 5.0 4.8 That was an intense case, but it hurt in all the right ways. Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 19 is far from the first police drama to feature a case about a stalker who wants to kill as many cops as possible — but many shows make it more

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has long been the most lavish entry in Bravo’s long-in-the-tooth reality franchise. With sweeping mansions, wealthy cast members, and swanky parties, it was a massive success story for well over a decade. I was so invested in everything to do with the show in its initial form, back when

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 The biggest problem with this season of For All Mankind is that it has misaligned priorities. Politics has taken center stage while scientific feats have taken a back seat in the story. However, even the worst storylines can produce moments of brilliance when everything comes together.

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 3.5 I expected Richard Gadd’s project, after Baby Reindeer, to receive the same acclaim. But given that people sometimes like to cut down successful people, I ignored the critics who didn’t hate Half Man but didn’t love it either. But after spending four weeks with the show, I’m beginning to

Paramount+ “Yellowstone” patriarch John Dutton may be six feet under, but his legacy is very much alive (for better or worse) in the new Paramount+ spin-off “Dutton Ranch,” which relocates several of the original series’ most beloved characters to Texas for high-stakes adventures in a fresh frontier. 

Critic’s Rating: 3.25 / 5.0 3.25 For anyone hoping Dutton Ranch would simply recreate the Yellowstone formula with Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler at the center, the first four episodes make one thing abundantly clear: this is not that show. And it’s not trying to be. Created by Chad Feehan and built around characters originally

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 While Chicago Fire Season 14 struggled with inconsistent storytelling and the need to write out characters almost every episode, the season ended on a high note. We got a storyline told through two timelines: the fire Firehouse 51 attended and the lead-up to it. With all the reminders of
