I have to hand it to the writers here: they really surprised me. Repeatedly. Fantasy Island Season 2 Episode 2 does an excellent bait-and-switch, subverting expectations and hitting us with not one but two significant developments for central characters. From what could’ve been a hackneyed Mamma Mia premise, the Island works its usual magic and

Before a brief hiatus, 1923 Season 1 Episode 4 shows us how the second half of the season will unfold. The story at the Yellowstone and the story in Africa have not been in the same time frame. The past of the Yellowstone and the present in Africa have finally converged. Maybe. There’s no doubt
Almost every character was in the middle of a crisis on the shocking season finale. On Ginny & Georgia Season 2 Episode 10, Gil threatened Georgia, so she swallowed her courage and confessed her past to Paul. Almost all of the teens also dealt with identity crises too. That was part of the problem on
The holidays always bring drama. Ginny & Georgia Season 2 Episode 6 was no exception, as Paul and Zion’s families clashed at Georgia’s holiday dinner, and Georgia learned two secrets that affected both of her children. While Georgia may have retreated from the insults towards her, she’s a fierce mama bear and will protect her
Three battles come to their respective climaxes on The Witcher: Blood Origin Season 1 Episode 4. There is a mage battle, a monster battle, and… well, Merwyn. And while the good guys win, nothing is ever simple when the stakes are this high. Seanchai leaves Jaskier with directions to spread the Song of the Seven.
The Horton family Christmas is always a fan favorite. Traditionally, the characters put aside the high drama for one day, instead spending time with friends and family, hanging ornaments, and experiencing miracles. In recent years, Christmas has stopped becoming the big deal it once was for our favorite Salemites, and that’s a shame. Family is
As has become customary, the strength of the Dutton women is on full display on 1923 Season 1 Episode 1. Cara Dutton promises to be the character to watch on this new series, with Helen Mirren standing firmly in her shoes. This new era of Duttons shows that although it’s been 40 years since the
Note: Deadline presents the 44th episode of its video series Take Two, in which Pete Hammond and Todd McCarthy tackle the artistry of films just opening in theaters every weekend. Each has reviewed and written about the craft for decades and built a remarkable breadth of knowledge of films past and present. What we hoped for when
Emily Prentiss has been on the periphery of the action so far, largely controlling things when it comes to Deputy Director Bailey. On Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 1 Episode 5, she did a fair amount of controlling and also eased back into the field. It’s great seeing her in action again. When Bailey wanted to
It’s the midseason finale of The Winchesters, directed by Supernatural alum Richard Speight Jr., and John and Mary are both in for a surprise. On The Winchesters Season 1 Episode 7, as the gang closes in on the Akrida, Mary finds a clue that brings her closer to finding her dad, while John must decipher
Trauma changes people’s lives. It becomes an invisible force that shapes decisions and makes its presence known at inconvenient times. TV often doesn’t get it right, but The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 8 did a beautiful job. Not only did Morgan push a patient to get a rape kit because of Morgan’s own trauma,
Chenford has risen! It’s been a long path toward Tim and Lucy finding their way to one another, and it couldn’t have ended on a better note for both The Rookie Season 5 Episode 8 and The Rookie Season 5 Episode 9 that this relationship between the pairing has taken such a significant yet natural
It was fascinating to see my good colleague Valerie Complex describe, in her review of the Antoine Fuqua/Will Smith slavery drama Emancipation, having almost walked out of the film, not because it was unworthy, but because she found the depiction of Black suffering and death almost too much to watch. In the end, Complex stuck
We finally break free from the campsite, with everyone settling back into life away from the great outdoors. And things are just as messy as they ever were. While Sunny tries to plot her next move, Cassie sets her sights on getting to the bottom of what happened in the woods during Big Sky Season
Offbeat fantasy doesn’t get much better than Ron Howard’s Willow. The 1988 film may have played out like a by-the-numbers epic about plucky heroes overcoming despotic evils, but its reputation as an all-ages adventure outweighs its triteness. Now, with a sequel series on Disney+ (premiering today), Willow Ufgood (again played by Warwick Davis) and the
It’s never good news when intelligence agencies work together. Each works like an independent body and always looks out for its interests. Events of five years prior come to haunt Garza on The Rookie: Feds Season 1 Episode 9. He is pulled into a conspiracy to set him up, but lucky for him, he has a
Thony and Nadia both made deals and played games with the enemy. Did they get in over their heads? Thony turned to Robert when she needed help getting expensive medication for Luca on The Cleaning Lady Season 2 Episode 9. Nadia also played a dangerous game with Robert’s feelings to help Arman. So far, both
There’s no going back now. We have arrived at the kinky underground sex club episode. Dangerous Liaisons Season 1 Episode 4 is filled with erotically-charged scenes, but most of it is deeply unsettling. There are so many more secrets and revelations here, as well as hints of what’s to come and how it will all unravel.
It’s a little late for Halloween, but Netflix’s new spin on the Addams Family franchise, Wednesday, is still a welcome sight. Armed with the backing of Tim Burton and a killer trailer, Wednesday — premiering, when else, next Wednesday, Nov. 23 on the streamer — looks like a worthy extension of the classic creepy family. But based

As a title, Criminal Minds: Evolution refers not just to how a new UnSub upped his game during the pandemic, but also the changes that the series itself has undergone for its rebirth on Paramount+. Reporting thus far on Criminal Minds: Evolution has regularly labeled it a “revival,” but having screened the first two episodes

UPDATE: Last season’s Tony-winning Broadway production of Richard Greenberg’s Take Me Out proved so popular that producers made the unusual decision to bring the show back, its cast largely in tact, for some extra innings. Take Me Out begins a 14-week Broadway run today, playing through January 29, 2023. The original cast remains except for
HBO’s The White Lotus took us by surprise last summer… but it shouldn’t have. After all, Mike White crafted another uncomfortably hilarious series a few years back with Enlightened, and here, with a sparkling cast populating his acid-tongued comedy of manners, Lotus ended up garnering more buzz and awards attention than Enlightened ever did. Now
Callie Thorne was back, and this time her character was less flighty. Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 3 dealt with Danny and Baez’s investigation after Maggie was stabbed. Maggie bonded with Baez and the baby and helped catch her would-be killer without becoming annoying. While I love Callie Thorne, I’ve never been a huge Maggie
In the not-so-distant future, technology has an even greater hold on humanity than it does now. Audiences were introduced to Flynne and Burton Fisher, a brother, and sister trying to survive in a world against them on The Peripheral Season 1 Episode 1. The concept of VR games taking someone to another world isn’t new,
Prime Video’s new series The Peripheral is some seriously dark and mind-bending science fiction — and it’s bending my mind a little trying to figure out what to say about it. On one hand, it’s a visually stunning, smartly realized story that kicks off with an exceptional pilot (premiering this Friday). On the other hand, the
The teens were right. It’s always the white guy. It was an incredibly dark, painful, and riveting hour with Chicago PD Season 10 Episode 5 presenting us with its first ongoing case of the season. The addition of Yellowstone‘s Jefferson White as a recurring character was exciting news, but did anyone envision this? Sean O’Neal
New Amsterdam attempted a ripped-from-the-headlines storyline inspired by RaDonda Vaught. The primary story of New Amsterdam Season 5 Episode 5 consisted of a chaotic and tense hospital environment after a nurse’s arrest for negligent homicide. We also got some personal arcs teased throughout the hour. It’s a pity that the series doesn’t spend much time
While Shaun spent his workday trying to save a woman’s life, Lim spent hers trying to prove he was to blame for her paralysis. The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 3 is still stuck on this ridiculous conflict. And to make matters worse, Lim not only ended her friendship with Shaun but implied that she’d
