The year 2020 has seen lots of changes, and Dancing With the Stars Season 29 has not been immune. Longtime favorite hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews are gone, replaced by Tyra Banks of America’s Next Top Model fame. Judge Len Goodman is out, stuck in the UK thanks to quarantine rules, and dancer Derek

The couples are at their most entertaining when they interact with one another. And that’s what made Married at First Sight Season 11 Episode 14 a fun hour. It’s one thing to experience each couple getting familiar with one another, but the group dynamics and respective friendships that come about from this process are illuminating too.

If Shea was still on the fence about believing Paul’s claims, neXt Season 1 Episode 2 helped her realize there was more to the tale than she first thought.  First, her files were stolen, upending her case, but Ethan being targeted by the person on the other side of Iliza was the straw that broke the camel’s

TV shows adapted from books are known for deviating from the original storyline. Sometimes, the changes are small, but other times, they are significant. Shows will change characters, plots, settings, and even relationships to suit their vision.  In fact, there are a lot of couples in books that do not end up together in their

Oh, what a complicated web of deceit! On We Are Who We Are Season 1 Episode 5, battle lines were drawn between characters, while relationships imploded, and it was a banner hour of this HBO drama series.  We’ll start with Maggie and Jenny because their sexual encounter came out of left field.  They were forming a

TV shows are prone to being cut short when they are not performing as well as their networks hoped.  In recent months, however, well-rated TV series are being canceled to the pandemic that has been present in our lives for over six months.  Now, a new report from The Hollywood Reporter predicts that cancellations will

Call me cynical and unromantic, but the best thing Pandora Season 2 Episode 2 had to offer was the possibility of the Jax and Xander relationship actually going kaputs. I know it won’t last, but a reprieve from the bad pillow-talk and worse sitcom-esque lovemaking is welcome. Meanwhile, I’m rooting for the Zatarians and actually

Allie accused Tripp of rape, the rivalry between Xander and Philip heated up, Eli took drastic measures to save Lani, while Gwen and the Dimera mansion were blessedly offscreen!

Autumn is the best. The crisp scent of changing leaves that crunch under your feet make way for candy, pumpkin pie, and ALL KINDS OF SCARY PROGRAMMING! Horror is right at the top of my favorites list year around, so this month with movies and series premiereing left and right to scare us silly is

HBO Max will welcome another superhero to its ranks.  Months after being announced as in development, Green Lantern has landed a series order at the relatively new streamer.

Let’s get this out of the way early. I have never seen (or at least I don’t remember seeing) The Right Stuff, the movie, nor have I read the book. So don’t expect comparisons. From what I understand, the film (and the book on which it is based) is perfection. That’s hard to match let

After killing a captain and starting a war, Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 Episode 3 takes a six-month leap in time after the events of the Star Trek: Discovery Premiere. At that time, destiny throws the court-martialed Star Fleet officer Michael Burnham immediately into new and mysterious circumstances. But first, we get a peek into the life of Prisoner

Finally, Patrick Dempsey has made a triumphant return to series TV in this stylish thriller. Those accustomed to Grey’s Anatomy’s McDreamy were in for a shock at Dempsey’s very different role on Devils Season 1 Episode 1. Dempsey’s character, Dominic Morgan, the CEO at investment bank NYL, circa 2011, could most kindly be described as cunning.
