After completing Fire Country Season 1, all I can say is that it’s very clear that the one rule the writers have is that Bode must always be, even if secretly, a hero by the end of every episode. Tell me I’m wrong.  After multiple catastrophic situations and one bad guy after another, it seems

Critic’s Rating: 2.8 / 5.0 2.8 I don’t know if any show that premiered this television season has been harder to figure out than Rescue: HI-Surf. There’s a decent show in there, and we get flashes of it when they lean into the action and even when they choose the right moments to focus on

NCIS has been one of the biggest success stories in TV history, but like the countless other long-running shows still on the air, it’s showing its age.  The CBS procedural has slumped to around 5.2 million viewers and a 0.36 rating among adults 18-49 this season. That number means it ranks seventh out of the

Critic’s Rating: 3.8 / 5.0 3.8 Some mysteries and secrets keep the romance alive, but other times, it can drive your partner insane. That type of secret was the case in When Calls the Heart Season 12 Episode 3, as Rosemary grew more worried about what Lee was hiding. Rosemary seemed annoying while she snooped,

After hitting Fire Country Season 1 Episode 10, it’s safe to say that my prediction skills will be useless with a series as unpredictable as this one.  As an audience member who is quick to point out where a story is going, nothing gives me more joy than having my expectations not only exceeded but

I know what some of you may be thinking.  Every time I mention FBI: Most Wanted, it’s likely in a critical fashion, which may beg the question, why do I even still watch? What can I say? I’m a creature of habit, and for the most part, I like to see things through.  (Mark Schafer/CBS)

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 1-20-25 promise movement on a very obvious love triangle. From the moment Brady declared he was done with Kristen forever, I knew it was a matter of time before he reversed course. Sure enough, his daughter’s disappearance will push him into Kristen’s arms… but also into

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 If you are one of the fans who dislikes a faster pace, then The Way Home Season 3 Episode 3 might not have been for you. But if you’re like thousands of others whose spirits soar at the idea of time travel and where this immersive human puzzle might

Can I let you all in on a little secret?  I watched the entirety of XO, Kitty Season 2, and by the time the credits rolled, I had forgotten everything important that had happened.  It genuinely sucks when that happens, but it’s worse when it’s something that happens with a show that genuinely has great

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 This can’t be the end of Carisi’s problems, can it?  Law & Order: SVU Season 26 Episode 9 depicted his PTSD almost perfectly until the end. After one pep talk from Benson, Carisi seemed to snap out of it, but that’s not realistic. Is another breakdown coming? (Scott Gries/NBC)

Tragic news out of the TV world on Thursday as it has been revealed that prolific director David Lynch has died.  He was 78.  The sad news was broken by Lynch’s camp in a Facebook post on his official account.  (@DAVIDLYNCHTHEATER/Screenshot) “It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the

When Calls the Heart has taken notes and continues incorporating character-rich stories, romance, and modern mysteries into this season. The spoilers for When Calls the Heart Season 12 Episode 3 tease a mystery surrounding an old coin, and Rosemary and Elizabeth snoop to discover what Lee has been hiding. This one will be a treat

We all know the concept of adapting or dying.  Television as a medium has been forced to do that for decades, and with the introduction of streaming and its subsequent upswing since then, it’s been a difficult path for network television.  The irony isn’t lost when you consider that most of a streamer’s content isn’t

Critic’s Rating: 4.1 / 5.0 4.1 Celina Juarez, the woman that you are!  It was a solid hour for Celina as she participated in “Plain Clothes Day” during The Rookie Season 7 Episode 2 and proved her abilities as an officer.  We’ve watched her evolve from the crystal-loving, horoscope-reading rookie who barely made it past

My last article about genre shows got me thinking: what were the best TV shows about witches? I’m not talking about shows containing witches but those where witches are the focus. After all, witches have always cast a spell on TV fans, bringing magic, mystery, and mayhem to our screens. Whether it’s the charming chaos

When it comes to a show like Elsbeth, audiences have come to love the unexpected plots and unique characters that keep the series fresh and interesting.  So, it didn’t come as much of a surprise when Michael Emerson made quite the splash on the show. The actor is no stranger to a television set and

There are so many pivotal elements that go into nailing a successful show, and one of those is having likable characters. Luckily, NCIS: Origins has plenty to work with in Mike Franks.   Don’t get me wrong, because I am the unofficial leader of the “Mary Jo Fan Club,” but Mike Franks is something else.   Since

Critic’s Rating: 4.2 / 5.0 4.2 When Calls the Heart has returned to basics this season, focusing on integrating the younger generation into stories and character-rich story arcs. The children’s obsession with comics was central to When Calls the Heart Season 12 Episode 2, as Elizabeth tried to find other lessons to excite her students.

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 Eighty minutes?? Landman Season 1 Episode 10 was a feature-length finale, and oh boy, did it deliver. The near future of the show has changed significantly, giving us a better picture of what to expect from the second season. The biggest stunner here is that despite the popularity of
