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). But when all is said and done, will the gung-ho teen’s biggest adversary be oh-so-serious supervillains? Brec Bassinger (of Hulu’s All Night) headlines the
Things took an unexpected turn on Roswell, New Mexico Season 2 Episode 6 and viewers were left more confused than ever. All alien-related issues were put on the back burner, and the relationships took center stage. However, that’s not too different from how Roswell, New Mexico Season 2 has been going, so far. Love triangles are hard
It would be wholly understandable if fans of Showtime’s original Penny Dreadful approached its “spiritual descendant” City of Angels with as much trepidation as excitement. How, we might wonder, could any offspring of John Logan’s beloved monster mash live up to the awful beauty of its parent? How could any new characters compare to the
How do we begin to say good-bye to someone who has been such a huge part of our lives and had such a profound effect? It was this question the firefighters of Station 19 found themselves grappling with this installment. And the results were commendable, as Station 19 Season 3 Episode 13 proved to be the show’s
RELATED STORIES They’re hot, they’re dumb and they’re about to become your new obsession. They’re the sexy singles of Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle, an eight-episode reality dating competition with a hands-free twist: For every sexual act committed between players — and that ranges from a peck on the lips to the whole shebang —
The questions we’ve all been asking was finally answered on Roswell, New Mexico Season 2 Episode 5. Will Liz be able to bring Max back from the dead? On one of the strongest installments to date, Liz and Kyle race against the clock to make it possible. There had to be another reason why Max didn’t
Did that just happen? Or are we also having bizarre hallucinations? On one of the most intense and horrifying installments to date, Nancy Drew Season 1 Episode 17 proved that anything can happen to anyone. Unless you’re a series regular. Then you’re probably fine. Owen’s death is hard to accept, but not unacceptable. Looking back on the
For the 100th episode, that was not good. Empire Season 6 Episode 16 brought Andre’s battle with his other personality to an end, and I only wish it were more satisfying. Kingsley taking over Andre’s body has been one of the most abysmal storylines to grace the screen, but it was finally headed in an interesting
Quibi has arrived, with a free trial period and everything. But what is worth watching, right out of the gate? (And what is Quibi again…?) Answer the second question first, Quibi is a streaming service that offers episodes as “quick bites” (ergo its name) of 10 minutes or less, displaying “full-screen” no matter how you
They’re trying to finish strong. It’s the new penultimate finale, but Grey’s Anatomy Season 16 Episode 20 did it justice with an hour jam-packed with drama and action. It was so much happening that it left your head spinning. It made for a sound hour, albeit once again structurally odd. Why odd? For now, it works given
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
