Oh, Courtney. Who else wanted to just give her a big hug after everything she went through on Stargirl Season 1 Episode 11? It was just so heartbreaking to watch Courtney go through the process of learning Starman wasn’t her father, being let down by Sam again, and then thinking the staff had forsaken her because

It was an explosive hour! Deavan went off on Jihoon and told him she was headed home, leaving him shattered. Brittany and Yazan cannot stop fighting, and even Yazan’s mother got in on the action. And Ari and her mother Janice do not mince words with Biniyam on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 2
It’s early yet so of course Hanna’s mission was FUBAR. Maybe Hanna and/or Marissa should have asked Clara if she wanted to be rescued on Hanna Season 2 Episode 3 and Hanna Season 2 Episode 4. Then maybe they could have avoided the world of hurt that they are looking at in the second half of Hanna Season
Betty did much better defending herself on Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story Season 1 Episode 6 than I thought she would. But much like we feared, Betty was an utter fool for thinking that she could get the better of Dan while he was on the stand. What she got for efforts was her
Ugly people keep getting uglier. How did anyone survive the Broderick vs. Broderick divorce? After watching Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story Season 1 Episode 5, it’s hard to imagine the kids haven’t continued to suffer well into their adulthood. Every member of the family was put through the wringer, and Dan and Betty almost
A dark, gritty reboot of the golden oldie Perry Mason? At first, it sounds like a joke, or like a Jack Donaghy idea from 30 Rock. The classic legal drama debuted way back in 1957, which leaves quite a thick layer of dust to brush away, but HBO’s reboot — premiering this Sunday at 9/8c;
If I were to make a religious comparison, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels Season 1 Episode 8 would be a moment of redemption in what has been a sinfully sordid mess of a narrative. Despite being titled “Hide and Seek,” many characters come out in the open here, clarifying their motivations and airing some long-held
RELATED STORIES It’s been just over two years since the theatrical release of Love, Simon, the 2018 rom-com that broke new ground as the first major studio film to center on a gay teen romance. The movie is a charming and inoffensive coming-of-age flick — and your opinion of the film will likely dictate how
If that was the total of the “good” years that Betty and Dan Broderick shared, Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story Season 1 Episode 3 didn’t have much to say for their marriage. And if we were supposed to get some perspective on Dan outside of Betty’s experience with him, well, that failed. It’s still
“Act of God” was one of the stronger installments of the season. It was also one of the most heartbreaking as 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 1 Episode 4 gave us our first tragic death of someone while the team was on a call. The use of a tornado provided us with some great shots and
Beginning Sunday, May 31, AMC will air Quiz, a three-part drama from writer James Graham and director Stephen Frears detailing the meteoric rise of Britain’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and the stunning cheating scandal that threatened to tear it down. With clever writing, an excellent cast, and inspired direction, Quiz propels you through
Weller and company have got to put together the pieces faster before they all crack up. The stress of being on the run was getting to them all on Blindspot Season 5 Episode 3, except maybe Rich. And if Rich is the most stable member of a team, that squad is in big trouble. They certainly
Everything came to a hilt on Mrs. America Season 1 Episode 9. While the episode was not as epic as a finale usually is, “Reagan,” was still satisfying, and gave us some closure. Particularly with Alice’s arc, although there were a few storylines that left us with unanswered questions. Alice’s character revolutionized when she finally stood
I have to admit that I probably wouldn’t have predicted any of the significant developments on Penny Dreadful: City of Angels Season 1 Episode 5 but probably should’ve. In a script that seemed to throw a hodge-podge of elements together, the theme seems to be a fracturing of strong bonds. The Vega family is splintering
Gabi finally got some comeuppance. It wasn’t so much that she’d been arrested for attacking Jake with a syringe — she’s used to that and doesn’t get why what she did was wrong. But on Days of Our Lives during the week of 5-18-20, Rolf double-crossed her, made fun of her, and possibly tricked her
The stakes were higher than ever on Mrs. America Season 1 Episode 8, but it was not so evident at first. The first half of “Houston” was pretty mundane. Nothing exciting happened, despite Alice and Pamela bunking with Republican feminist Audrey. But that quickly changed as soon as Alice went out for drinks. Alice had to
The latest series from Starz is coming to the premium cable network on Sunday, May 17. The premiere introduces us to Monica Raymund’s Jackie Quinones, a national marine fishing services agent, who is unlike any other female TV lead in recent memory. She’s unapologetic, fun-loving, and battling some demons for good measure. These demons come
Liz isn’t dark. She’s just drawn that way. That appeared to be the point of The Blacklist Season 7 Episode 19. This finale was an innovative way to make the best of a difficult situation. The coronavirus pandemic forced a production shutdown of The Blacklist, with only about half of this episode shot. It was great
The honeymoon phase didn’t last too long for Daniel and Noa. On The Baker and the Beauty Season 1 Episode 5, the couple had their first real fight as Daniel got a taste of the “celebrity lifestyle.” There are plenty of perks that come with being in the public eye including a free Corvette that Daniel
RELATED STORIES Snowpiercer‘s four-and-a-half year journey to the small screen ends on Sunday, May 17, when it pulls into the proverbial station at TNT. When all is said and done, was it the little engine that could? Or not quite? What you get out of TV’s Snowpiercer largely depends on what you expect from it.
Talk about an action-packed season finale! On Charmed (2018) Season 2 Episode 19, the Charmed Ones attempt to bring back Jimmy to help them learn more about the Faction. It’s evident that the writers scrambled to put together the finale episode. There was so much happening at the same time that it was hard to follow
What will theater look like after the pandemic? How will stage artists address the societal upheavals wreaked by COVID-19? Everyone’s asking, no one knows, but Tony Award-winning playwright Richard Nelson and New York’s Public Theater offered up a much-needed and beautifully executed bit of hope last night with the era-suiting livestreamed world premiere of What
Um, was that the way you saw this story going? Sam Keating’s backstory was explored during How to Get Away with Murder Season 6 Episode 13, but it was mainly through exposition. And if we’re honest, it felt like a few years too late. Sam has always been the evil specter looming over the show since the
I’ll say this about Ryan Murphy’s new Netflix drama Hollywood: The costumes are fantastic. With its characters decked out in fedoras, three-piece suits and bejeweled ball gowns, the 1940s period piece co-created by Murphy and his Glee co-writer Ian Brennan — debuting this Friday, May 1; I’ve seen all seven episodes — gives us a
If a series is based in the Philippines, why not throw a typhoon into the mix? Alex discovered it’s not always sunny on Cebu on Almost Paradise Season 1 Episode 5. He even belatedly learned a new word in Tagalog, “bagyo,” which means typhoon, one that he never wanted to hear again afterward. Too bad. Things
RELATED STORIES Warning: This post contains spoilers for all eight episodes of Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle. Let me state this upfront: I am a certified dating show junkie. I watch The Bachelor — and The Bachelorette. I enjoyed Love Is Blind. I even watch trashier fare like Temptation Island. (Speaking of which: Where is
The Eddy feels like the kind of series that only Netflix would shell out the money to make these days: an artsy, atmospheric slice of life set at a Parisian jazz club and shot largely in French that lingers over its characters like stubborn cigarette smoke. Shot in shaky-cam, cinéma vérité style by Oscar winner
It’s not often that Danny’s sensitive side takes center stage. He’s often a hothead who browbeats confessions out of criminals or butts heads with his siblings. But on Blue Bloods Season 10 Episode 18, Danny took it hard when a perp commited suicide, and his reaction was far more compelling than his usual story. Danny’s case
Welcome to the family, Mac! It’s no surprise that Jake wanted to name his child after John McClane from Diehard, but I still can’t believe Amy let him. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7 Episode 13, Amy and Jake’s journey to the birth of their child unfolded in typical Brooklyn Nine-Nine fashion. There were insane twists and
RELATED STORIES DC’s Stargirl is here to brighten up the sometimes-brooding superhero scene with a weekly, multiplatform rollout on DC Universe (starting May 18) and The CW (premiering Tuesday, May 19).
