RELATED STORIES The fight about whether or not the Equal Rights Amendment should be added to the United States Constitution has been roiling since 1923 — and whether that statement intrigues or bores you is a good indicator of whether or not you’ll enjoy Mrs. America (debuting Wednesday, April 15). FX’s latest prestige drama covers

Ahh. Christian Kane, looking exasperated and kicking ass. There’s really nothing new on Almost Paradise Season 1 Episode 1. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. This new WGN American original series marked the third time that the charismatic Kane has collaborated with producer Dean Devlin, following The Librarians and Leverage. It’s shot on location in
Viewers were shocked and disgusted when Stefan took advantage of a mentally ill Abigail to have sex while she was in a dissociated state. A year later, that outrage seems to have been forgotten, at least by the writers. Days of Our Lives during the week of 3-23-20 featured a sham marriage between Stevano and
By now, in recent years, Grey’s Anatomy has become a fan of those bottle episodes. They tend to both add background information and flesh out a select couple of characters and be fraught with a plethora of feels, and Grey’s Anatomy Season 16 Episode 19 fit the bill. The hour was character-centric, focusing on Richard, Maggie,
The Good Doctor shook things up between Shaun and Lea. Literally. When several relationship storylines appear to have hit dead ends, what to do besides raise the stakes with a natural disaster? The Good Doctor Season 3 Episode 19 was the first of a two part season finale involving the aftermath of a huge earthquake. Couldn’t
This was more of Elizabeth and Raymond lying to each other about Katarina. This happened around a nifty art-theft caper on The Blacklist Season 7 Episode 11. What a timely episode with the OxyContin-peddling Sackler family and their love of art so regularly in the news. Imagine what would happen if one of those family members
For a show that takes place in Gotham, one of the darkest settings in the DC universe, Batwoman Season 1 Episode 15 manages to plumb new depths of the horrific with the introduction of Alice’s own Red Queen, Mabel Cartwright. Maybe there had been some strange wrong-headed belief that August’s captivity and psychologically abusive treatment was all
The soap opera lives on. So what did we get out of Grey’s Anatomy Season 16 Episode 17? We found out who Amelia’s baby daddy is after Link made a grand romantic gesture in the rain. Teddy continued to have an affair after getting everything she thought she wanted. Tom made a questionable choice after
It’s starting to feel like everything’s getting crammed in at the last minute. More items got marked off the series-ending checklist on Hawaii Five-0 Season 10 Episode 19. First off was Jimmy Buffett making one last appearance as chopper pilot Frank Bama. Last seen on Hawaii Five-0 Season 9 Episode 25, Frank wasn’t piloting anything this
You could easily watch a few scenes from Little Fires Everywhere, with Reese Witherspoon starring as a tightly wound mom ruling over a rich suburb, and get fooled into thinking you’re watching a new season of Big Little Lies. But trust me: You’re not. Hulu’s adaptation, which debuts Wednesday, March 18 (I’ve seen the first three episodes)
When it was announced that Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 were switching time slots, in part to facilitate more crossovers, I’ll admit I groaned. I even did it in print. Like many a Grey’s viewer, I felt like I wasn’t being invited or encouraged to tune in to its spinoff so much as I was being
Liam and Fallon had quite an eventful re-engagement party on Dynasty Season 3 Episode 14. What was supposed to be one of the happiest days of their lives was ruined by an explosion, a sex tape leak (a la Keeping Up With the Kardashians), and the unanticipated arrival of Liam’s 10-year-old estranged son, Connor, and his
When it first premiered, Altered Carbon was a high-budget cyberpunk drama that had a passable central plot. Unfortunately, the series never reached its full potential. Altered Carbon Season 1 was polarizing for many because instead of being logical, the narrative relied on tense battles between Kovacs and the many people who opposed him. Even the
Is it even possible to watch a Hillary Clinton documentary without bringing one’s preconceived political biases to it? Probably not, so let me be upfront about mine. I voted for Hillary in 2016… but I also voted for her opponent in that year’s primary and earlier in 2008. I was raised in a staunchly conservative
The Good Doctor depicts autism better than almost any show currently on TV. But when it gets it wrong, it gets it way wrong. The Good Doctor Season 3 Episode 16 was one of those times. For the second episode in a row, everyone tried to tell Shaun what he felt, and the implication that he
RELATED STORIES Apple TV+, which launched two months ago, has its first truly inspiring series in Little America, a lovely and emotive series about the lives of immigrants in America. Little America, debuting Jan. 17 with all eight episodes, is a scripted anthology in which each standalone episode is based on a true story that
When we catch up with Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Picard, nearly two decades after we last saw him at the helm of the Enterprise, the former starship captain is living an idyllic life, sipping wine on his French vineyard and enjoying the company of his loyal dog (delightfully named Number One). And for those
RELATED STORIES Even if you already know the story of the rigged McDonald’s Monopoly game (which was covered extensively by The Daily Beast in 2018), HBO’s McMillions documentary series is a fun, informative and highly entertaining look into one strange scam. The basic details are this: From 1989 to 2001, ex-cop Jerome “Jerry” Jacobson rigged the
Who would have thought Katy Keene Season 1 Episode 3 – a belated Valentine’s edition of the series — would conclude with Katy and K.O. ending their relationship? Not me. If you watch Katy Keene online, you know that Katy is bursting at the seams with optimism. Her aim has been to keep her and K.O. together despite
RELATED STORIES Locke & Key, the comic book series written by Joe Hill and illustrated by Gabriel Rodríguez for IDW, has been eyed for one live-action adaptation or another (…or another) for nearly a decade. In the end, Netflix is the one to bring it to life. Was it worth the wait? First developed for
I wanted to love Devs. I really did. I’m a huge fan of Alex Garland, the Ex Machina and Annihilation filmmaker who writes and directs all eight episodes of the FX sci-fi thriller (debuting Thursday, March 5 exclusively on Hulu), and I couldn’t wait to see what mind-blowing magic he might conjure up on his
Shaun choosing Carly was always too good to last, but this latest wrinkle is ridiculous. It was bad enough that Morgan spent all of The Good Doctor Season 3 Episode 15 planting seeds in both Shaun and Carly’s heads about how Carly needs to be jealous of Lea. All it took was Shaun and Lea
The fact that USA Network’s new murder-mystery Briarpatch is set in a steamy Texas border town known as Saint Disgrace is a big clue about what’s to follow. It’s a conspicuously quirky setting for a conspicuously quirky show: a funky neo-noir full of eccentric characters that has atmosphere to burn. There’s plenty to like about
RELATED STORIES With so much television to choose from, networks are struggling to find ways to make their series stand out. This is the case with CBS All Access’ Interrogation, a gimmicky procedural that allows viewers to watch episodes in any order they please. “When cold case detectives reopen an unsolved case, they abandon the
Well, that was one screwed-up Valentine’s Day. Several strange love stories played out on Hawaii Five-0 Season 10 Episode 16. Danny was still struggling over the love of his life being snatched away in just one day on Hawaii FIve-0 Season 10 Episode 14. That’s Danny’s luck for you. He can’t make it work with his
RELATED STORIES First things first: You would have to be one seriously hardhearted bastard not to love The Thing About Harry, Freeform’s belated gay Valentine (premiering Saturday, Feb. 15, at 8/7c). Its leads — Grey’s Anatomy’s Schmitt, Jake Borelli, and newcomer Niko Terho — have chemistry for days. The script, co-written by director and co-star Peter
At the risk of sounding like High Fidelity‘s main character: The perfect cover version of a song is tricky to pull off, right? It has to maintain the spirit of the original, while also putting a fresh spin on it that makes you hear it in a new way. Hulu’s new take on High Fidelity
