‘Suits’ 9×04 Review: Kiss Our Ass, Or Kiss Our Asses Goodbye

If you’d asked me last year what was going on, why Suits wasn’t taking the plunge with Darvey, I would have probably gone on a rant about male showrunners, but in the end, I would have probably landed on: they…

‘Pearson’ 1×03 Review: This Could be the Beginning

…of a beautiful show. During the first two episodes, Pearson did a lot right, especially in setting up Jessica Pearson, as, well… Jessica Pearson, someone we should continue to care about. It didn’t give us many more people to care…

‘Suits’ 9×03 Review: The Faye of All Problems

Look, I haven’t wanted to go deep with the Faye of it all, because honestly, is Faye the most important thing in this show right now? Not by a longshot. She might be the most disruptive force, and she’s certainly…

Gloria Calderón Kellet Talks the Impact of ‘One Day at A Time’ and being the One Latina in a Room

Interviewing Latina show-runner and all-together amazing woman Gloria Calderón Kellet was a dream come true. And I’m talking the good kind of dream, the one where you wake up and you’re still wondering if what you saw could actually be…

‘Riverdale’ SDCC Interview: Lili Reinhart Talks Bughead

Lili Reinhart threw shippers a bone. Well, she did that, and then, of course, she threw a conditional there, because she still has a show to promote, and it seems like absolutely everyone is convinced happiness doesn’t sell and we…

Riverdale SDCC Interviews: KJ Apa Talks Archie’s Grief

KJ Apa is, in many ways, Archie Andrews. And he’s in the position of feeling what Archie is feeling in regards to the loss of his father, Fred. This wasn’t a subject we tried to broach – in fact, we…

‘Riverdale’ SDCC Interviews: Cole Sprouse Talks Jughead

Cole Sprouse is a really funny guy. We gotta start there, because that’s the main thing we always take away from every interview with Cole. The guy’s got charisma oozing out of every pore, and it’s incredibly easy to see…

Riverdale SDCC Interviews: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa Teases a Return to Season One Vibes

Next up: Veronica Lodge herself, Camila Mendes. If there’s one thing almost all of us are in agreement when it comes to Riverdale is this: we miss the friendships. Okay, we probably also agree that the show is intense and…

‘Carnival Row’ promises A Fantastical View of Current Issues

A show that deals with the issues of our time, including racism and xenophobia, while bringing in the fantastical elements we all know and love? Sounds not just attractive, it sounds just like our thing. But our first look at…

‘Pearson’ 1×02 Review: Now We’re Talking

Now, that’s more like it. “The Superintendent” isn’t necessarily a brilliant hour of television – no more so than the first episode, at least – but it does a whole lot better than the pilot about making us care about…

‘Suits’ 9×02 Review: Team Darvey and The Rest

You can say that Suits has changed after, you know, all the banging Harvey and Donna have now done, which hey, they were making up for lost time. But the fact of the matter is, the show hasn’t really changed,…

‘Grand Hotel’ 1×06 Review: Temporary Love Triangles

It almost took too long. As a general rule, I’m not a fan of love triangles. They rarely make sense, you always know which side you’re on, and the other person is almost always just there to be an obstacle,…

‘Pearson’ 1×01 Review: It’s All About Gina

I have maintained a love/hate relationship with Suits for many, many years. I loved it at first, loved the characters, felt very connected to the environment. I hated it at times, too, hated how I felt like the plot was…

‘Suits’ 9×01 Review: Here We Go Again

Look, you know why I’m here again. I ain’t even gonna pretend there’s another reason. You wouldn’t want me to, anyway. I have waited, and waited, and then stopped waiting, and then survived just based on that one friend who…

‘Grand Hotel’ 1×05 Review: Twisty twist twist

It’s not hard to explain why Grand Hotel is the perfect summer show, though honestly, to call it a “summer show” would be to imply that one is only allowed to have light, fun and diverse TV in shows that…

There are no ACTUAL spoilers here, but there are teases, so if you want to go into the Suits season premiere with no expectations or pre-conceived notions, better hit that back button. You’ve been warned. Ah, Suits. It’s been a…
