“The apocalypse was the best thing that ever happened,” is what Josh Wheeler (Colin Ford), an average and unremarkable 17-year-old LA transplant, says to kick off Daybreak. One of the best genre entries of the year, Netflix’s post-apocalyptic dramedy about teenagers living through the end of the world starts with an invitation to have a

A show like The 100 is truly all about the characters that steal your heart before you even know to expect it. The way a character becomes beloved to fandom is a rare but valuable experience, especially on a show that revolves around nothing ever staying the same. Jordan Bolger’s introduction on The 100 as
The moment we’ve been waiting for all year (and some people have been waiting eight years for) finally arrived in Monday’s episode of this year’s Arrowverse crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths. While some members of the team journeyed to the Lazarus Pit to attempt to resurrect Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), who died in the first
It’s almost time to say one last goodbye to The Ranch. Netflix has announced the final season — dubbed Part 8 — will launch Friday, January 24. Ten episodes remain, and the show will conclude with an ending that was planned, meaning there won’t be any cliffhangers — unless the producers opt to end the
The Golden Globes are always the most eclectic and least predictable of the major awards shows, and this year is no exception. The nominees for the 77th Golden Globe Awards contain plenty of the expected nominees, like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Irishman, but there are many missing names (where’s When They See Us?)
The 2019 Arrowverse crossover is finally upon us! Supergirl Season 5 Episode 9 served as the first part of the Crisis On Infinite Earths. The series had 1.7 million followers and a 0.6 rating in the demo, achieving season highs as well as the show’s best numbers in one year (since the last crossover aired).
[Warning: The following contains spoilers for the latest episode of Watchmen, “A God Walks Into a Bar.” Read at your own risk!] Watchmen‘s latest episode took fans on another journey through time and space, often simultaneously, as we got a closer look at Doctor Manhattan (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and learned how he came to be
Everything has been leading up to this. We have finally arrived at Crisis Arrowverse Fans, and, oh man, did it live up to the hype. Supergirl Season 5 Episode 9 was part one out of five and while it had plenty of pure Supergirl moments, it was a true meeting of heroes that threatened to
Ron Leibman, best known for his Tony Award-winning performance as Roy Cohn in Broadway’s Angels in America, has died. He was 82. A spokeswoman for Leibman’s wife, Emmy-winning actress Jessica Walter, confirmed to The New York Times that the cause of death was pneumonia. Born in New York in 1937, Leibman graduated from Ohio Wesleyan
Eric tried to cut Xander out of MacKenzie’s life, Gabi and Chad went to war over Dimera Enterprises, and JJ hunted Kristen as he left Salem for Italy. Our TV Fanatics Jack Ori and Christine Orlando are joined by Soaps4ever from MyHourglass a Days of Our Lives fan forum to debate if Eric has baby
[embedded content] It’s been a long hiatus for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina fans, but the wait for the new season is nearly at an end! Netflix announced Saturday that Season 3 will drop Friday, Jan. 24, so get ready to start the new year with a whole new season of witchery. The creepy teaser announcing
We need more movies like this, and hopefully, the existence of Mistletoe & Menorahs means we’ll get more of them in the future. The only downside to this movie was it didn’t get the coveted timeslot that all the other movies receive. It’s a true disservice since the film was perfectly lovely and heartwarming. It
The Blacklist is back, and still teasing. Or perhaps it’s just trolling. The pre-Thanksgiving episode of the show built to a pair of semi-cliffhangers suggesting that both the characters and the audience were about to learn significant truths. Frustrated with Frank/Iyla’s (Brett Cullen) lack of cooperation, Katarina (Laila Robins) vowed to take her torture plan
It’s finally time for Crisis on Infinite Earths to begin, and that means a bit of a schedule shuffle for The CW, so be sure to set your records appropriately. Christmas programming reigns with a lot of familiar faces. You’ll even find three stars from one of my favorite series from the past decade in
[embedded content] We live in a world with people who believe the Earth is a frisbee, the moon landing was shot on a soundstage, and that chemtrails are turning amphibians gay. The proliferation of the internet was supposed to be a boon of factual information available at everyone’s fingertips, but it’s proving just as useful
Adam just can’t win. After being largely mishandled since he joined Five-0 three years ago, he’s now caught up in a real mess after Hawaii Five-0 Season 10 Episode 10. Still, I guess that’s better than being the guy in the background every time. Since the team can’t go down another member, what with Danny gone
[embedded content] In the post-Tarantino ’90s and ’00s, there were a lot of movies like Reprisal: violent, stylized thrillers that riffed on genre tropes and provided entertainment that was clever enough but didn’t require too much thought. But now, the market for that kind of mid-budget, non-reboot or adaptation movie has bottomed out, and the
If Jersey Shore: Family Vacation returns for a fourth season, it will be without one of its most iconic stars. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has revealed she is “retiring” from the MTV reality series. “I have to do what’s best for me at the moment, and I am retiring from Jersey Shore,” she said on the
[embedded content] Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) had a choice to make on this week’s episode of Legacies, and we can’t say we’re jealous of a guy who had to decide whether he wanted to be with Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) or Josie Saltzman (Kaylee Bryant). It’s kind of a win-win and a lose-lose at the
The Pruitts aren’t an entirely likeable bunch. And as it turns out, the people they choose to associate with aren’t exactly upstanding citizens, either. We learn at least that much during Tell Me A Story Season 2 Episode 1. Can an entire get built around people for whom you initially care so little? It’s happened before,

Lost in Space focuses on the aftermath of an impact event that threatens the survival of humanity, with the Robinson family being selected
The Masked Singer came back after Thanksgiving ready to stuff everyone will fabulous performances and, of course, the potent glamour of Nick Cannon — as delicious as sweet potato pie with a little bit of whipped cream on top. It’s a small travesty that The Masked Singer doesn’t have Nick debut an original ensemble every
Thank you, Mrs. Burble! You are a treasure who should make another return to Riverdale in the future. The unthinkable happened on Riverdale Season 4 Episode 8: the core characters went to therapy. (Seriously, they did!) The one thing they desperately needed to do has finally happened, especially after all the cult, serial killers, and
As with an actual marriage, don’t enter into Marriage Story without thinking it through. You may love Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson (and if you are a sentient Earthling, you probably do, as they are two of our best working actors right now) but don’t hit “play” on Netflix before clocking the commitment. The movie
It’s almost time to say goodbye to Empire for 2019. As a result, the series is amping up the tension for its fall finale. Empire Season 6 Episode 10 focuses on Cookie trying to get Lucious to sign divorce papers so that she can be free of him for good. However, Lucious sees this opportunity
Early on in Season 3 of Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Midge meets a tour musician played by Gilmore Girls alum Liza Weil, another mom who left her kids at home to pursue her artistic dreams. “What else are we gonna do, stay home and dust?” she asks Midge. “F—k dust.” It’s a nice summation
The wave of excitement over all things Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian is undeniable. The force is so strong in the little green guy from Disney+, otherwise known as The Child, that when Baby Yoda merchandise hit sites and shelves last month, fans were jumping for joy and buying up everything their all-too-eager hands could
Can Lucious and Cookie sign those divorce papers and be done with each other already? Empire Season 6 Episode 9 laid the groundwork for the once ride-or-die couple to sever ties with each other once and for all, but will they actually take the leap? Their relationship is toxic. Lucious gets off on making Cookie squirm
All men must die, but it appears all women must die as well. A new deleted scene from Game of Thrones Season 8 has finally answered yet another lingering question from the Battle of Winterfell: What happened to Alys Karstark (Megan Parkinson)? It was already safe to assume that Alys didn’t make it out of
