Summer is weird. As we await the September coming of the latest in big commercial “must-see TV”, our airwaves fill with guilty pleasure reality (Big Brother, Bachelor in Paradise), niche prestige fare (Hannibal) and strange new stuff the executives aren’t quite sure about (did anyone watch Wayward Pines? What was that?). And also the burn pile. […]
So it turns out, this Stephanie Savage ABC drama was commissioned as a limited series, scheduled to wrap up in the span of its 10 episode run, making Thursday’s finale the end of the road for the Mercury Seven. While I think the limited timeline rushed the story far more than was helpful (nearly 10 […]
Canada’s best mainstream TV drama is yet to be renewed for a 7th season as it concludes its 6th (11 episodes that were originally ordered as part of a 22-episode fifth season but were later separated to air a year).

Six years in the making, the moment we have all been waiting for is finally less than a week away. The big A reveal on Pretty Little Liars will finally happen on Tuesday August 11th.

Case in point: the all-girls alliance of DaVonne, Shelli, and Audrey. Second […]
Friday’s episode of the newly Emmy-nominated Disney channel appropriation of my formative childhood series was one of the show’s best thus far.

OK. I just finished season three of Orange Is The New Black (“Don’t Make Me Come Back There” and “Trust No Bitch.”) and I have so many feelings. Will Stella come back? How could they do that to Sophia? So, first of all, Daya finally went into labor in “Don’t Make Me Come Back There.” […]
Episodes 8 through 11 of Orange is the New Black (“Fear, and Other Smells,” “Where my Dreidel At,” “A Tittin’ and a Hairin,’” and “We Can Be Heroes”) got intense. We saw backstories from Alex, Leanne, Pennsatucky, and Caputo. Leanne’s backstory was particularly interesting. We’ve seen her become more and more aggressive in the Norma […]
