‘Pearson’ Cancelled at USA And We’re Angry
The hits just keep on coming. This time, with Pearson. We’ll be the first to say the first season of Pearson was uneven – too much Bobby Novak at times, too much setup in general – but the show, like…
‘Suits’ Series Finale Review: That Was When I Ruled the World
One last con indeed. In the end, the most revolutionary thing Suits did, the most groundbreaking, and the most radical, was give us not just the ending we wanted, but the ending we deserved. Let’s call a spade a spade:…
