With an episode title like “The Pirate Queen,” I was genuinely intrigued, though admittedly, I did not have Midge getting arrested in international waters for piracy and assault on my bingo card.  But am I surprised? Not entirely. Midge Maisel is capable of everything and anything—and this episode was proof, as it was chock full

Good storytelling can make you laugh and cry all in the same breath—and the final handful of Firefly Lane episodes did just that.  The series gave a raw and powerful look at Kate’s cancer diagnosis, digging deep to reveal how it affected everyone—from the patient to the loved ones in her orbit. What started as

Fatal Attraction was a huge box office hit back in 1987, but it didn’t age all that well, with Glenn Close’s spurned mistress turning into a crazed horror movie villain intent on hacking her former lover to bits. Paramount+’s new series adaptation — debuting this Sunday; I’ve seen the first four episodes — aims to

Each and every single episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has thus far given us a glimpse into the future—and each development is more surprising than the next. There’s never a dull moment, even in the flash-forwards.  In the first, we got a look into adult Esther’s therapy session as she prepares to complete medical

Ok, I binged the entire second part of Lupin, so we have a lot to discuss! In Part 1, we were left with Assane’s son Raoul kidnapped by Leonard in Normandy. Him and Claire searching for him, and Youssef Guedira spotting Assane. We pick up right where we left off, thrust into a car chase

I know the focus of Abbott Elementary Season 2 Episode 21 was supposed to be Janine’s mom, but it only further emphasized just how incredibly fantastic Barbara is.  There’s no doubt about it, Janine’s work mom trumps her real-life mom, who has always been a bit of a disappointment in Janine’s life, and her recent

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was a lesson in sex education! I think at this point in time, Riverdale’s writers are just having fun and seeing how far they can push the ships while blaming it on teen hormones and curiosity.  Riverdale is the only town where someone’s parents can get murdered and everything goes

2022 was a good year for TV, but there’s always the hope that a new year will bring even better programming. As a handful of shows gear up for their swan song, they’re making room for a new crop of shows—and seasons—to take the spotlight and shine. Here are the 2023 shows we’re most excited

Chicago PD Season 10 Episode 18 delivered momentum on Ruzek’s undercover case, and I’ve got to say, this is the first time we’ve ever seen that man this terrified and questioning if he should stick it out.  When the episode kicks off, he tells Burgess that he’s been undercover a month, and as we see

Jack Dayton turning out to be the (expected) villain of Chicago Med Season 8.  And after George’s bombshell about what Jack plans to introduce in the impromptu board meeting—turning Gaffney into a for-profit hospital—it’s a fight that everyone is gearing up for, not just Sharon Goodwin and the doctors.  Dayton’s interest in the hospital was

We’re only three episodes in, but Superman & Lois Season 3 is hands down the best one yet.  Truthfully, I was skeptical about Lois’ cancer storyline at first, but the creative forces have tackled it with such grace, and it has added life to the narrative, deepened my love for these characters, and grounded the series.

‘Tis the season for Christmas movies, but Something From Tiffany’s has the makings of a classic romantic film that just so happens to take place around the holidays.  In fact, it shouldn’t even fall under the category of Christmas movies as the protagonist, Rachel (Zoey Deutch,  is Jewish, and thus, the film falls under the Chrismukkah

It’s the beginning of the end for Riverdale. After an 8 months hiatus, The CW series kicked off transporting the Riverdaleans (Cheryl said it!) smack dab into the middle of 1955.  Jughead was seemingly the only one from the group to remember that they were actually from the future, but his attempts at jogging everyone’s

The Company You Keep is proving to be a delightful new addition to Sunday nights, hooking in audiences with a heaping dose of chemistry and cons.  The chemistry between Emma and Charlie has been palpable since day one, but the cons are the glue that holds it all together, providing an intense and thrilling hour

I think all of the Burzek fandom can sleep well tonight because FINALLY! Fina-frickin-ly!  The Burgess and Ruzek hookup/reunion/romance—call it what you will—has been a long time coming, but the wait only made the moment that much sweeter.  Adam Ruzek has gone to great lengths for Burgess. His love for her has been clear for
