Certain ingredients go into almost every recipe for a successful procedural series, whether it deals with cops, hospitals, or firefighting. The one cliche and trope that never seems to go out of style is the classic “Will They, Won’t They.” It’s an overused storytelling tool for a reason, but it may not be as welcomed

Money really is the root of all evil.  Because of money, Chicago PD Season 12 Episode 9 concludes with two sweet little babies without their parents and Kiana more fractured from one half of her family than ever.  If the hour didn’t prove anything else, Kiana Cook is the best thing to happen to Chicago

Few individuals in Hollywood wear as many hats as Eriq La Salle.

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 3.5 We’re seven seasons in, and The Rookie still knows how to start with a bang.  Following the disjointed and cumbersome nature of The Rookie Season 6, it’s too early to determine this season’s vibes.  However, the show leaned heavily into what makes it exciting and fun during The Rookie

When the Brilliant Minds Season 1 finale aired, there were some generous cliffhangers. Oliver learned his dad was alive, which shook up his world.

Before that, let’s discuss what happened in Brilliant Minds Season 1 Episode 12 and how the apartment collapsed, changing many characters’ lives. This was the

Christmas and New Year are over, and that can only mean one thing:  Fresh episodes of Chicago Fire are on the way!

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 3.5 Times are changing in Hope Valley, Hearties.

Critic’s Rating: 4.05 / 5.0 4.05 What’s it all for? That’s the question at the center of Landman Season 1 Episode 9, and like every issue on this show, there’s not an easy answer. But at least one person may no longer have the chance to find it. (Ryan Green/Paramount+) Is It Too Late For

One of Days of Our Lives’ worst habits is having characters constantly jump from one relationship to another. Holly’s young, so she can be forgiven somewhat, but it happens too much.  At least Holly has the sense not to jump into bed (yes, I’m looking at all of you New Years couples), but Days of

It’s a new year, and we’re celebrating it with an all-new installment of Chicago PD, which will center Intelligence’s newest member.  If you’ve been following our coverage thus far, you already know how much we love Kiana Cook.  She’s breathed new life into the series as Chicago PD has felt like a welcomed soft reboot

Critic’s Rating: 4.25 / 5.0 4.25 Things got pretty hairy between The Way Home Seasons 2 and 3 when Hallmark announced that the beloved series would be moving to Hallmark+.

NBC is diving into the murderous world of a suburban garden club with Grosse Pointe Garden Society. Based on the trailer alone, we’re already invested.  It’s hard to get a read on a show from a 60-second trailer, but the hook is compelling, and the cast is an embarrassment of riches, meaning we should be

Will Trent return on Tuesday, January 7, for Season 3. That’s less than a week away! Gina Rodriguez joins the cast as ADA Marion Alba and will interact with Will Trent in the season premiere. She’s been rumored to have a run-in with the special agent, and then they’re forced to work together to bring

Family stories have been a television staple for as long as there’s been TV. They tug at our heartstrings, make us laugh, and remind us that, no matter how chaotic things get, family — whether by blood or by choice — is at the core of the human experience. But what exactly constitutes “family” has

It’s been a long wait, but Hearties got their holiday wish. When Calls the Heart returns earlier this year and premieres in January instead of the spring. When Calls the Heart Season 12 Episode 1 promises our Hope Valley residents many new changes. Elizabeth and Nathan deal with the news Superintendent Hargraves delivers and their

January begins the very best time of the year for TV. All of the shows that hid in fear of the juggernaut that is the NFL come out to play, and this January, we are inundated with many new shows and returns. As it turns out, 2025 begins with a wealth of riches you do
