Holiday TV viewing used to mean nostalgic animated specials like A Charlie Brown Christmas or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Now, ’tis the season of domination by round-the-clock Hallmark Christmas movies. This time of year can be frustrating for TV viewers who don’t get the appeal of these movies. If this describes you, never fear — we’re

While Gina Rodriguez is best known for leading The CW’s Jane the Virgin, she’s also acted in many other films and TV shows. Rodriguez began her acting career by guest starring on many procedurals, such as Law & Order, The Mentalist, and Rizzoli & Isles. She also had a short stint on the CBS soap

Are you still reeling from that Virgin River finale? There’s so much to unpack from the finale event, and the series left us with a couple of cliffhangers. What will Mel and Jack’s future look like after Marely’s proposal? What will be Brie’s response to Mike? And what the heck happened to Charmaine? Let’s hit

TV has a way of making us fall in love with the oddballs. They’re the ones who march to the beat of their own drum, sometimes driving their friends and coworkers crazy but always charming us in the process. These lovable misfits may not fit into society’s mold, but their quirks and imperfections make them

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 If you’re still laughing after this hilarious episode of Elsbeth, you’re in good company. Granted, we were always in good hands with a guest appearance from Laurie Metcalf. I’m just going to get this out of the way now: I would watch “Father Crime” and be enthralled with every

All American is returning to its origins –South Crenshaw and Beverly Hills high school football. After Spencer James (Daniel Ezra) exited the series, All American experienced a reboot. Season 7 will feature a new group of teenagers, including Alexis Chikaeze, who plays Preach’s (Kareem Grimes) teenage daughter. Jordan Baker (Michael Evans Behling), Layla Keating (Greta

Legal dramas have long been a staple of television, from the slick courtroom theatrics of Law & Order to the cutthroat maneuvers on The Good Wife. But before we had Jack McCoy or Alicia Florrick, there was The Defenders, a 1960s legal drama that broke new ground — and taboos. Unlike its contemporaries, The Defenders

We had to say goodbye to plenty of characters in 2024. Some of them we’ll miss terribly, while others we may not quite as much. The year saw plenty of characters depart series, some in thoughtful and meaningful ways, others with satisfying conclusions to their arcs, others tragically, and many downright puzzling. We’ve compiled a

In 2020, fans experienced the heartbreaking news that one of their top series, Criminal Minds, had been canceled after fifteen seasons. When the show received a reboot two years later, not all of the cast returned. Criminal Minds: Evolution brought back some of our favorite profilers, only one of whom had been with the show

Every now and then, a movie is so spectacularly, brilliantly, and gloriously bad that our brains catalog it in the “good” category anyway. It’s hard to define what makes a movie good or bad since it’s all subjective, but for me, a bad movie becomes good when it’s still enjoyable despite being a terrible film.

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 It looks like NCIS: Origins traded in its usual gunfire and life-or-death situations for a little emotional warfare instead. In all seriousness, this had to be the most emotionally charged episode of the season. Truth be told, I wasn’t sure why the series needed to backtrack to how Gibbs

The Sopranos is a TV landmark, celebrated for its mix of psychological depth, dark humor, and gritty mob drama. But behind the groundbreaking storytelling lies a patchwork of real-life inspirations that shaped its world, from North Jersey’s notorious mobsters to the eerie legends of the Pine Barrens. While the DeCavalcante Family is often cited as

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 3.5 The Yellowstone Ranch is gone, the cowboys are scattered everywhere, and Beth and Jamie fought to the death. There were some strong moments on Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 14, almost as if the ghosts of how brilliant this series used to be were rising up to remind us of

I hate the CEO war stories, and this last one between Philip and Xander is one of the silliest. I have to keep reminding myself that laws in Salem aren’t the same as in the real world to accept the idea that a letter (forged or not) saying that Victor was sorry he didn’t leave

It’s been over a week since Doug’s funeral on Days of Our Lives, and people are still talking about it. You wouldn’t think that a heartbreaking event like the death of a legacy character would be the most exciting news to hit the soap in a while, but I get it. Days of Our Lives‘

Every great Christmas movie needs a villain to shake things up. Whether they’re stealing presents, scaring kids, or just being plain greedy, these characters bring chaos to the holidays — and we love them for it. But are they really as bad as they seem? (20th Century Fox/Screenshot) Some of them might just be misunderstood,

Critic’s Rating: 4.8 / 5.0 4.8 Blue Bloods ended its fourteen-year run tonight, and it’s hard to believe that it’s not coming back next week or next year. Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 18 was an intense episode that somehow felt like every other story in this beautiful series. If it had to end, this

Not every holiday season feels like gingerbread and joy. Sometimes, you need a break from the twinkling lights and nonstop carols. Whether it’s a chaotic family gathering or just the stress of decking the halls, these Christmas movies offer a much-needed escape from the saccharine side of the season. From dark comedies to twisted tales,

Critic’s Rating: 5 / 5.0 5 Dexter: Original Sin has officially entered the scene, and it’s already giving NCIS: Origins a run for its money. While NCIS: Origins explores the backstory of our beloved Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Dexter: Original Sin takes us back to the twisted beginnings of one of TV’s most iconic anti-heroes —

Just when we thought the Prison Break franchise was over, it sounds like we’re getting another series. Deadline reported around this time last year that Hulu had put a “new incarnation” of the hit drama into development. Today, they reported that it has officially received a pilot order. Prison Break first aired on FOX in
