Downton Abbey was such a resounding hit for PBS — a second movie spinoff debuts in theaters later this year — that it’s understandable TV networks would try to recreate that magic. So now we get The Gilded Age, a new HBO historical drama from Downton creator Julian Fellowes that’s also rich with luxurious interiors and finely

Dr. Choi returned for a heartbreaking episode all around.  Usually, you can find a silver lining amidst all the grief thrown our way throughout the hour, but that wasn’t the case on Chicago Med Season 7 Episode 12.  Instead, all the storylines were a stark reminder that sometimes, life is cruel and unforgiving and it’s

Tonight’s brand new episode brought an electric rescue, a radio contest, and a visit from home. A call of a crashed car into an electric pole brought Firehouse 37 joining 51 to the rescue. With a lot of live electrical wires covering the ground, the two teams had to work together to make sure no

That almost seemed too easy, didn’t it?  On Chicago PD Season 9 Episode 9, the conflict between Halstead, Upton, and Voight surrounding the murder of Roy Walton was resolved, and they may as well have slapped on a big, red holiday bow on top.  I’m not upset with the fact that Halstead, Upton, and Voight

While that may have been one of the most awkward epsiodes of This Is Us, it was also the most pure.  And for a show that delivers stellar episodes on a weekly basis that are infused with raw emotion and connection, that’s saying a lot. The Big Three stepped aside and made way for —

After getting rid of Morgan Edge, you’d think that Smallville would catch a breather, but the premiere of Superman & Lois Season 2 proves that where the Kent family goes, trouble is sure to follow. The small town did get a teeny, tiny three-month break where they capitalized on Superman’s glory and boosted the economy

Love blossomed on the 4400 Season 1 Episode 7. Three ships made it official official much to the delight of fans all around.  Andre and Shanice explored their feelings for each other, after he apologized for using Mariah as a getaway car during the Ypsi Med heist, Soraya and Keisha got together after a few

It was bittersweet saying goodbye to plenty of shows in 2021, but the plus side is that it made room for a handful of new shows that are gearing up for their highly-anticipated premieres.  There are plenty of shows that we’re excited about, but since it’s too much for anyone person to take in, we’ve

That was one heightened episode of Nancy Drew.  And it was all thanks to Bess’s truth spell. I love Bess, but I honestly don’t know why she thought that she could outsmart an original sister in white with one of the new spells she picked up. It was obvious that she was out of her

It’s a good thing Sam didn’t listen to Jay when he discouraged her from inviting Pete’s wife over to the mansion.  Ghosts Season 1 Episode 6 gave us backstory into how Pete died, and well, it was kind of like we imagined: he was teaching his Girl Scout troop archery when he was accidentally shot

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas on Walker Season 2 Episode 6.  The series got into the festive spirit, well, for the most part. There were lights, sure, Christmas tree, yes, and even snow, but the underlying tone of the episode was far from jolly.  Let’s start with the biggest kicker — Micki

The producers of Hulu’s How I Met Your Father would really like you to not call it a reboot. Instead, they say, it’s a sequel to CBS’ long-running sitcom How I Met Your Mother — and of course, they’d like it to run for nine seasons, too. But having seen the first four episodes (premiering

Another wild day at Gaffney Medical!  Ethan’s return to Chicago Med was short-lived. Upon returning to work, he re-injured himself, which caused him another few months of healing.  His dedication to the job, and his patients, has always been admirable, but Ethan should’ve heeded Marcel’s advice and let this one go.  He managed to help

Wheel of Fortune has seen its fair share of interesting and unique characters throughout its 39 seasons, but the latest contestant had Twitter divided. Tuesday, January 11ths episode of Wheel welcomed a very energized character named Heidi. While some people on Twitter were really vibing with her energy, others made it clear that she was entirely

If The Cleaning Lady keeps this up, FOX may have a bonafide hit on their hands.  Based on Argentina’s La Chica Que Limpia, the series premiere was peak anxiety but in the best possible way as it threw you right into the action. A mother’s love knows no bounds, and Elodie Yung, who plays the

Harry Potter fans were in for a real treat when the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2022.  In celebration of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’s 20th anniversary, HBO Max released the highly-anticipated and overly nostalgic special titled Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts. This is the first time since the end of

This is what nightmares are made of.  Every single episode of Nancy Drew is chilling, but Nancy Drew Season 3 Episode 4 was the perfect kickoff to Halloween weekend!  There’s a handful of iconic villains and monsters in this universe — Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees, and the Sandman. While the Sandman is oftentimes

Are network sitcoms making a comeback? Not too long ago, things looked dire for the genre — NBC didn’t even bother to put a single comedy on its fall primetime lineup — but CBS’ Ghosts, ABC’s Abbott Elementary and NBC’s Grand Crew have proven to be reliable sources of laughs already this season. And that hot

Herrmann and Mouch played detective, as the tension between Gallo and new firehouse lieutenant Pelham escalated to new highs in tonight’s newest episode. With Pelham taking Casey’s spot, and Boden taking a liking to him, his job security is almost solidified. But his mysterious past of constantly moving firehouses made Herrmann and Mouch suspicious. What

I wasn’t quite expecting this, and you probably were not either. But HBO Max’s Peacemaker series is a bit of a blast, considering how polarizing its title character proved to be in 2021’s The Suicide Squad, of which it is spun off. Premiering Thursday, Jan. 13 with the first three of eight episodes (I previewed
