'Cloak & Dagger' Season 2 Trailer Tackles Fine Line Between Right and Wrong

What if the choice between right and wrong is not black and white? That’s the question that our heroes Tyrone and Tandy face in the trailer for season 2 of Freeform’s hit Cloak & Dagger. In the official trailer for the anticipated sophomore…

'Supergirl' 4×12 Review: ‘Menagerie’

Supergirl returned from a two-week hiatus just in time to celebrate Valentine’s Day in its own unique way. Heart-eating alien, anyone? I don’t know about you, but that just screams Valentine’s Day perfection. In “Menagerie,” Supergirl and co. dealt with…

'Roswell, New Mexico' 1×05 Review: Secrets, Secrets, Secrets (Are Revealed)

How far would you go to keep a secret? Would you keep up a false persona for your entire life to protect yourself and those you love? Would you lie to those you love the most in order to protect…

‘Roswell, New Mexico’: 8 Things We Can’t Stop Talking About In “So Much For The Afterglow”

While we’ve only been treated to two wonderful hours of Roswell, New Mexico, it’s already a show that is on my must-watch shows every week. Ships with the kind of chemistry that can ignite a fire, complex characters we’ve still…

‘Arrow’ 7×10 Review: 'My Name Is Emiko Queen'

Arrow has been a game-changer in my life that’s introduced me to some fantastic people and amazing opportunities. I remember the times where it felt like weeks would stretch between new episodes of Arrow. Where I could write 3,000-word reviews,…

Supergirl returned with a midseason premiere that forever changed the course of the season. One decision — an unnecessary one, if you ask me — set an unexpected course for the backhalf of season four where once again Kara’s emotional…
