The television landscape is littered with procedural cop shows, so it takes something a little extra to stand out. The series set up in The Irrational 1×01 “Pilot” isn’t groundbreaking in terms of plot. It isn’t terribly noteworthy in the…
New ‘Return of the Jedi’ Poster Released Ahead Of 40th Anniversary Theatrical Run
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Which, yep, makes us feel pretty darn old. But while we sit back and tell ourselves “we’re not old, we’re vintage,” we can also celebrate this anniversary…
Daisy Ridley Will Return As Rey Skywalker, And We’re Conflicted
I loved Daisy Ridley as Rey in the most recent Star Wars trilogy. That said, what started off as excitement and enthusiasm for the trilogy itself turned into disappointment (and maybe even a touch of anger at some decisions made)…
‘True Lies’ 1×06 Review: “Working Vacation”
Harry (Steve Howey) and Helen (Ginger Gonzaga) have been straddling the line between marriage and spy life for a while now, and these two worlds intersect more than ever in True Lies 1×06 “Working Vacation.” It turns out, even spies…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×18 Review: “Judgment Day”
Strap in, folks, because I’ve got a lot to say about Quantum Leap 1×18 “Judgment Day.” It may not be the season finale I expected, but it turned out to be exactly the season finale I didn’t know I wanted.…
Why The True Crime Community Needs To Clean House
Like many people, I watch a lot of true crime. I don’t know why the genre is so popular. I’ve heard a theory that many women, at least, tend to be drawn to true crime because it gives us a…
‘Up Here’ 1×08 Review: “Y2K”
What happens when two messes finally figure themselves out enough to make their relationship work? We find out in Up Here 1×08 “Y2K.” Well…to an extent. After the ill-considered kiss in the previous episode, Lindsay (Mae Whitman) and Miguel (Carlos…
‘Up Here’ 1×07 Review: “Baggage”
Everyone carries some kind of relationship baggage, but Up Here’s Miguel and Lindsay seem to carry more than most.
‘So Help Me Todd’ 1×16 Review: “Twelve Worried Persons”
I don’t know that So Help Me Todd 1×16 “Twelve Worried Persons” is the best episode of the season, though it has to be in the running. It is certainly one of the most fun episodes of the show thus…
‘True Lies’ 1×05 Review: “Unrelated Parents”
True Lies 1×05 “Unrelated Parents” might have been titled “Boy, teenagers sure are brats, aren’t they?” If one obnoxious teen wasn’t enough, this episode gave us another. No need to be so generous next time, show. Really. I insist. Parenting…
‘Up Here’ 1×06 Review: “Armor”
If “Labels” was Lindsay’s (Mae Whitman) chance to indulge her inner dumpster fire, Up Here 1×06 “Armor” gives Miguel (Carlos Valdes) his chance to shine. Burn? Whatever. He might be in the limelight, but Lindsay isn’t left out of the…
‘Up Here’ 1×05 Review: “Labels”
In Up Here 1×05 “Labels,” Lindsay (Mae Whitman) finally gives in to the voices in her head, listening to them more than she should. Well, one voice, at least. In her efforts to find herself in New York, she’s never…
‘Up Here’ 1×04 Review: “Special”
Up Here 1×04 “Special” is all about honesty. It’s the most important thing in any relationship – whether it’s a committed relationship or a “friends with benefits” situation. Honesty not just with your partner, but with yourself. If you can’t…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×17 Review: “Friendly Skies”
It’s hard to believe that Quantum Leap 1×17 “Friendly Skies” is the penultimate episode of the season. As I struggle to come to terms with that fact, Ben (Raymond Lee) has struggles of his own. Following Martinez’s (Walter Perez) betrayal…
‘Up Here’ 1×03 Review: “Signs”
Up Here 1×03 “Signs” is all about…well…signs. Signs two people are meant to be together. Signs they’re meant to be apart. Signs that maybe they should clean out their oven every once in a while. (Or at least look in…
‘Up Here’ 1×02 Review: “Miguel”
As expected, Up Here 1×02 “Miguel” was all about the other half of the couple in Hulu’s new rom-com series. In the premiere, the titular character, played by Carlos Valdes, appeared confident and smooth. Even if certain aspects of his…
‘Up Here’ 1×01 Review: “Lindsay”
Hulu’s Up Here is about finding yourself, in all your quirky oddity. It seems fitting, therefore, that Up Here 1×01 “Lindsay” feels like the series is trying to find itself. It isn’t a bad episode, but it feels like things…
‘True Lies’ 1×04 Review: “Rival Companions”
It isn’t easy to make new friends as an adult. In True Lies 1×04 “Rival Companions,” Helen (Ginger Gonzaga) goes looking for friendship where she perhaps shouldn’t. Putting her husband Harry (Steve Howey) on edge. And possibly in the line…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×16 Review: “Ben, Interrupted”
When I tell you this show is making me stressed. I went into Quantum Leap 1×16 “Ben, Interrupted” expecting…well, maybe not lighthearted fun, given the episode description. But I didn’t expect to be so tense. It’s only been a couple…
Hulu’s ‘Up Here’ May Fill The Void Left By ‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’
For those fans still mourning the loss of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Hulu is offering a new show that may take away some of the sting. Its upcoming rom-com series Up Here, releasing March 24, isn’t exactly a successor to the…
Fans Mourn The Passing of Actor Lance Reddick
Fans were shocked on Friday at the news that Lance Reddick passed away from natural causes at the age of 60. The actor, whose work spanned over two decades, appeared in such popular series as The Wire, The West Wing,…
