It’s been quite a ride. And I don’t just say that in the metaphorical way, because boy, has Grand Hotel managed to surprise us week, after week, after week, with “A Perfect Storm” being no different, something I didn’t even…
‘Pearson’ 1×08 Review: Why Representation Matters
I’ve talked about this subject plenty of times before. Some of you might say I’ve talked about this subject too many times, that I need to find a new soapbox, and if you’re one of those, then I’m sorry, because…
‘Suits’ 9×07 Review: Who We Are
Suits goes deep into the question of who exactly Harvey, Samantha and even Louis are, as “Scenic Route” moves the show along the path to a conclusion we’re not exactly sure we want anymore. But then again, they always say…
‘Grand Hotel’ 1×12 Review: “Dear Santiago”
I said it before, and I’ll say it again: if there’s one thing that can be said about this show is that it’s entertaining. But then again, I came in expecting that. The original always was, even if the setting…
#FemaleFilmmakerFriday: 5 Reasons You Should Know Catherine Hardwicke
You might think you know Catherine Hardwicke, and chances are, you both do and you don’t. Sure, Hardwicke directed the first Twilight movie, which makes her a more well-known name than most other female directors in this industry. But Hardwicke…
‘Falling Inn Love’ is the Rom Com I Wanted, and Needed
It isn’t actually hard to fall in love with romantic comedies. We are, after all, wired to…well, love. All we really need is a couple of people with good chemistry, a beautiful setting and we’re set. We promise. It’s easy.…
‘Outlander’ Season 5 Gets a Premiere Date
We finally know when Droughtlander will end! That’s right, we got a date: February 16th, 2020. That’s when we can expect to see the Frasers again. We got a date for more than that, though, as Starz also announced the…
‘Pearson’ 1×07 Review: The Biggest, Baddest Operator Around
Pearson turns a definite corner in “The Immigration Lawyer,” not in regards to Jessica – the only part of the show that’s always worked – or even in regards to other characters, who sometimes work by themselves, but almost always…
EXCLUSIVE: Tamzin Merchant, David Gyasi and Andrew Gower Talk ‘Carnival Row’
Whatever you’re expecting from Carnival Row, it probably is that and a lot more you couldn’t see coming. Take, for example, the storyline involving Imogen (Tamzin Merchant), Agreus (David Gyasi) and Ezra (Andrew Gower). At first, I thought, well, I…
‘Carnival Row’ is A Heartfelt Fantasy Take on A Real Problem
Well, color me shocked. There’s what I expected from Carnival Row based on their SDCC panel and press conference: good fantasy, beautiful settings, clichés and tone-deafness in the message, and then there’s what I got from the show: good fantasy,…
Disney+: Here’s What’s Coming From Marvel
The news out of D23 yesterday is almost too much to process. What’s coming? When? How to keep track? But, no worries, we’re here to keep track for you. Starting with …Marvel. So let’s talk the shows we already new…
‘Pearson’ 1×06 Review: Same old, Same old
At some point, Pearson is going to have to make a choice. For me, right now, after “The Donor,” that choice is clear: Dump Bobby Novak. And I don’t even mean dump him completely as in fire the actor, he…
‘Suits’ 9×06 Review: Whatever it Takes, like the Avengers
Family is… well, complicated. You love your family, after all. And your love isn’t conditioned to what they do or how they behave. You just love them. Even when they’re being stupid, even when they’re deliberately obtuse. Even when they…

96 Thoughts We Had While Watching ‘Grand Hotel’s “Suite Little Lies”
We have a lot of fun watching Grand Hotel, and sometimes the best way to show how much fun we’re having is give you access to our unfiltered thoughts, as they happen. So this week, I though I’d take a…
#FemaleFilmmakerFriday: 5 Reasons You Should Know Jen McGowan
Jen McGowan is the kind of woman that inspires others, no matter how you look at her career. She not only has written and directed her own short films, and now moved to feature films, she also has developed a…
‘Pearson’ 1×05 Review: The Bobby Problem
Pearson has a Bobby problem, and though “The Former City Attorney” tries valiantly to face that problem head on, at the end of the day, we are left in the same place we were when we started watching the show…
‘Suits’ 9×05 Review: Welcome back, Mike Ross
We’ve really, really missed you. Of course, the entirety of the firm whose name I can’t even remember at this point could somehow be considered part of the proverbial we, though it’s obvious that the one person who’s missed you…
New ‘Little Women’ Adaptation Releases First Trailer
Like many of you, I grew up with Little Women, and like many of you, I wanted to be Jo March when I grew up – a writer, a thinker, a free woman. So, of course, the new trailer for…
‘Grand Hotel’ 1×09 Review: The Boss Is In
When Grand Hotel announced Katey Sagal was joining the cast, I thought …well, I’m not sure what I thought, but I can promise you I didn’t think we’d get this. Probably because, back when the casting was announced, I still…
‘Pearson’ 1×04 Review: Building on Something Good
For three episodes, we’ve sorta dangled on the edge of a precipice, ready to fall in love with Pearson completely and irrevocably. “The Deputy Mayor” does nothing to push us off the cliff, but it doesn’t exactly drag us back,…
