Pack your digital bags and grab your calculators, if you still own one because the Earth’s most resilient pre-teens are headed back to the virtual frontier. Cyberchase Season 16 is officially slated to premiere on April 18, 2026 , proving that not even a megalomaniacal green cyborg named The Hacker can stop the PBS KIDS juggernaut. At The TV Cave , we’ve seen plenty of reboots and revivals come and go, but Cyberchase remains; it simply refuses to die. Since 2002, Matt, Jackie and Inez have been trapped in Motherboard’s mainframe and yet, we find ourselves genuinely excited for another round of geometric hijinks. The Math Adds Up (Even If We Can’t Do It) While the official Cyberchase Season 16 premiere will air on PBS KIDS, the buzz around Cyberspace is a bit bittersweet this year. Following the passing of Philip Williams, fans are bracing for a potential recasting of Buzz, the bumbling henchman who made being "bad" look like a full-time slapstick routine. Rumors suggest the new episodes, including titles like "The Hacker is Nice?" and "Digit's New Home," will double down on the show’s pivot toward environmental math . It’s a smart move, if you’re going to teach kids about fractions, you might as well show them how to calculate the shrinking polar ice caps while you're at it. Why This Premiere Actually Matters In an era where most kids' TV is just brightly colored noise designed to sell plastic toys, Cyberchase remains a bastion of actual intelligence. Is it slightly snarky that these kids have been eleven years old for twenty-four years? Absolutely. Is Gilbert Gottfried’s legacy as Digit still the gold standard for bird-based voice acting? Obviously. This season is expected to lean heavily into STEM literacy , focusing on solar power and waste reduction. For those who prefer their television with a side of streaming, check the Cyberchase YouTube Channel or the PBS KIDS Video App for the latest clips and full episodes after the broadcast. The Verdict Cyberchase Season 16 isn't just a nostalgia trip for millennial parents; it’s a necessary tool for the next generation of problem solvers. Despite the aging interface of Cyberspace, the heart of the show remains as solid as a well-constructed isosceles triangle. Are you ready to see if The Hacker finally succeeds, or are you just here for the Birdies? Head over to The TV Cave 's social media and let us know your favorite Cyberchase memory.

In the fickle world of network television, one day you’re the medical wunderkind solving rare neurological mysteries, and the next, you’re being unceremoniously shoved into a storage closet to make room for more karaoke. Fans of Zachary Quinto’s Dr. Oliver Wolf received a cold diagnosis this week: Brilliant Minds is being removed from the NBC schedule , effective immediately. While the Peacock network insists the show isn’t dead, the decision to yank the back half of Season 2 in favor of more reality TV has viewers wondering if the series is on life support. The Voice Sucking the Oxygen Out of the Room The primary culprit behind the Brilliant Minds schedule change isn’t a lack of medical drama; it’s the behemoth that is The Voice . Starting February 23, 2026, NBC is expanding its flagship singing competition to two-hour blocks on Monday nights. Why the sudden shift? It’s a classic case of network chess. By stretching The Voice from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET, NBC ensures it isn't handing over the 10:00 PM hour to the competition. Unfortunately, that means Dr. Wolf’s unconventional treatments have been displaced by chair-turns and vocal runs. For a show that relies on momentum and high-stakes character development, being sidelined mid-season is rarely a sign of confidence from the executives in the high-rise offices. Checking the Vitals: Ratings and Renewals If we’re being honest and here at The TV Cave , we prefer our truth with a side of side eye, the numbers for Brilliant Minds haven’t exactly been "brilliant" lately. After a respectable debut, Season 2 has seen a significant dip, averaging around 1.9 million viewers . When you compare that to the nearly 3 million who tuned in during the freshman run, it’s clear the pulse is weakening. Network suits generally don’t bench a hit. They bench shows they aren't sure how to sell anymore. While the official word is that the remaining six episodes will air "later this season or in the summer," that’s often TV-speak for "we’re fulfilling our contract before we send this to the Great Streaming Library in the Sky." A Cliffhanger Left Dangling The timing of the removal is particularly cruel given the events of the February 2 episode. We finally got some movement on the Dr. Wolf and Sofia front, only to be told we might have to wait until the humidity hits 90% in July to see the resolution. Zachary Quinto has delivered a nuanced, quirky performance that deserved a more stable home. Brilliant Minds tried to do something different with the medical procedural format, focusing on the brain’s fragility rather than just "patient of the week" tropes. But in the battle of Grey Matter vs. Glam Reels, the glitter of The Voice won out. Whether Brilliant Minds returns for a Season 3 or joins the long list of "one-and-done" (or in this case, "two-and-done") dramas remains to be seen. For now, fans are left with a massive gap in their Monday nights and a lot of unanswered questions. Keep your eyes on this space for updates on the official return date. In the meantime, we’ll be here, mourning the loss of actual scripted television while we watch a group of coaches fight over a teenager who sang a slightly better version of a Whitney Houston song. What do you think of NBC’s move? Is 'Brilliant Minds' worth saving, or has the show run its course? Sound off in the comments below!

It’s time to dust off your vintage Dawson’s Creek DVDs and try to forget that Fatal Attraction reboot happened, because Joshua Jackson is officially returning to the Greg Berlanti fold. The man who taught an entire generation how to pine properly as Pacey Witter is set to headline the new Max (formerly HBO Max ) pilot, How to Survive Without Me . This isn't just another family drama; it’s a high-stakes reunion that has TV insiders and nostalgic millennials buzzing about whether lightning can strike twice for this iconic actor-producer duo. A De Angelis Family Crisis The premise of How to Survive Without Me sounds like the kind of emotional gauntlet Max excels at, think Succession but with more feelings and fewer private jets. Written and executive produced by Berlanti and Bathsheba “Bash” Doran ( Beef , Boardwalk Empire ), the series centers on the De Angelis family in the wake of losing their matriarch, Beverly. In a move that feels equal parts heartwarming and slightly creepy, Beverly has left behind a roadmap for her family to function from beyond the grave. It’s a "mother knows best" digital haunting that forces her five adult children and her widower to actually, you know, talk to each other. Jackson Steps into the Kitchen Joshua Jackson is slated to play Cooper , the eldest De Angelis sibling. Cooper is a high-achieving Los Angeles chef on the verge of launching an exclusive, members-only dining club. On paper, he’s the success story of the family. In reality? He’s harboring a secret massive enough to burn his Michelin-star dreams to a crisp. Jackson has spent the last few years leaning into darker, more complex roles, from the chilling Dr. Death to the messy husband in The Affair . Seeing him play a man teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown while whisking a reduction sauce feels like a natural, if stressful, evolution. The Ray Romano Factor If Jackson wasn’t enough of a draw, the pilot also stars the legendary Ray Romano as Leo, the grieving patriarch. Romano has perfected the "sad but lovable dad" trope in his post-sitcom career, and his chemistry with Jackson is expected to be the emotional anchor of the show. Watching these two navigate a house full of adult children while following instructions from a dead woman is the kind of prestige dramedy we’ve been craving. Why This Matters for Max With Greg Berlanti moving away from his "Arrowverse" empire and toward more character-driven storytelling, How to Survive Without Me represents a pivot back to his roots in grounded, emotional drama. For Max, securing a talent like Jackson who remains one of the most reliable leading men in television is a clear signal that they aren't slowing down on star-powered originals. While we wait for the pilot to (hopefully) get a full series order, one thing is certain: any project that puts Joshua Jackson back in a Berlanti-penned script is mandatory viewing. Whether Cooper manages to save his restaurant or the family implodes under the weight of Beverly’s ghost, we’ll be there with the popcorn. Stay tuned to The TV Cave for more updates, casting news and eventual recaps of the De Angelis family circus. Do you think Joshua Jackson works better in gritty thrillers or family dramas ? Reach out and let us know your favorite Pacey—err, Joshua—era!

Pack your bags and grab your favorite talisman, because MGM+ just decided to ruin our sleep schedules again . Aft er months of theories involving everything from government experiments to purgatory, the first FROM Season 4 teaser has officially landed. If you thought the Season 3 finale was a brain-scrambler, the new footage confirms one thing: the residents of Fromville are about to pay a massive tax on all those answers they’ve been digging for. April is for Agony: The Premiere Date First things first: mark your calendars for Sunday, April 19, 2026 . The 10-episode season will reclaim its 9:00 pm ET slot on MGM+. While we’ve spent the hiatus debating if Tabitha actually escaped or just leveled up to a different circle of hell, the teaser makes it clear that the "knowledge" gained in the previous finale is a double-edged sword. As the tagline ominously warns: "Knowledge comes at a cost." The Man in Yellow Wants a Front Row Seat The biggest takeaway from the FROM Season 4 teaser isn't just Boyd looking stressed (though Harold Perrineau has truly mastered the 'I'm tired of this town' squint). It’s the return of the Man in the Yellow Suit . Played with skin-crawling charisma by Douglas E. Hughes, he closes out the teaser with a line that should haunt your group chats: "What happens next is my favorite part." If the guy responsible for the town’s misery is excited, we should probably be terrified. Rumors from the set suggest that the "slow-walking" monsters are about to get a speed upgrade, turning the psychological horror into a full-blown sprint for survival. New Faces and Old Feuds While we see the core survivors, Victor, Donna, and a very haunted-looking Julie, the teaser also hints at the arrival of Sophia (Julia Doyle). Described as a sheltered pastor’s daughter, she’s the "new arrival" destined to have her worldview shattered by a tea-party-obsessed ghoul. Word on the street (and from Perrineau himself) is that Season 4 will see a massive rift among the survivors . With Tabitha and Jade’s discoveries coming to light, the community is splitting between those who want to fight the town and those who just want to survive another night without being disemboweled. The Verdict This teaser doesn't give away the farm, but it sets a tone of impending doom that feels earned. After three seasons of slow-burn mystery, FROM Season 4 looks ready to stop playing with its food and finally start biting back. Between the Man in Yellow’s cryptic threats and the promise of faster, meaner monsters, the residents of Fromville are in for a very long spring. Keep your talismans hanging straight and your windows locked. We’ll be tracking every frame of the FROM Season 4 rollout as we get closer to that April premiere. Do you think Tabitha's "escape" was real, or should we be looking for her name on a headstone in the Season 4 premiere?

NBC is officially betting big with the newly released official trailer for The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins  which makes that crystal clear. Fronted by Tracy Morgan in full larger-than-life mode and boosted by a headline-grabbing guest appearance from Megan Thee Stallion , the upcoming comedy looks determined to elbow its way into the pop-culture conversation before it even premieres. The trailer introduces Reggie Dinkins, a once-beloved public figure whose spectacular fall from grace has left him scrambling for relevance in an industry that has very much moved on. Morgan plays the character exactly how you’d expect: loud, shameless, and blissfully unaware of how far the world has passed him by. The setup leans hard into celebrity satire, with jokes that feel tailor-made for a media ecosystem obsessed with comebacks, rebrands, and selective amnesia. But the real trailer buzz comes courtesy of Megan Thee Stallion , who guest stars as Denise, a recently divorced mom who strikes up a flirtation with Arthur Tobin, played by Daniel Radcliffe. Daniel Radcliffe who is still committed to choosing the weirdest, funniest possible post-franchise roles. The pairing is intentionally unexpected and NBC doesn’t bury the lead here; Megan’s presence is framed as an event, not a footnote, gesturing that Reggie Dinkins  plans to rely heavily on pop-culture firepower. Still, the official trailer for The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins  makes one thing clear: NBC wants this show to feel current, not nostalgic. Between Megan Thee Stallion’s guest spot, Radcliffe’s continued streak of anti-typecasting and a premise built around fame’s cyclical cruelty, the series is clearly aiming for relevance beyond its network-TV trappings. Whether Reggie Dinkins  can balance stunt casting with actual staying power remains to be seen. But as trailers go, this one understands the assignment: get people talking, spark a few memes, and remind viewers that even the most unlikely comebacks deserve at least one curious click.

If there is one thing Hulu knows how to do, it’s capitalize on our collective obsession with watching wealthy people behave badly while someone ends up face-down in a high-end infinity pool. Hot on the heels of the Only Murders in the Building phenomenon, the streamer is dipping its toes back into the blood-stained waters of the "cozy mystery with an edge" genre. Enter: If It’s Tuesday, It’s Murder . Based on the upcoming novel by Vivian Chien , this project is already generating the kind of buzz usually reserved for a limited-edition Stanley cup drop. Here at The TV Cave , we’ve done the digging so you don’t have to. Put on your detective hat (the chic one, please) and let’s dive into everything we know about your next TV obsession. The Premise: Death at the Country Club The series follows a woman whose life is, frankly, a bit of a disaster until she finds herself thrust into the middle of a homicide investigation at her local country club. The title itself suggests a "Murder of the Week" vibe, but with the serialized depth that modern audiences crave. Imagine the sass of The White Lotus married to the puzzle-box mechanics of a classic Agatha Christie novel, then give it a stiff martini and a membership at an overpriced golf course. Hulu is leaning hard into the "suburban noir" aesthetic. Expect sharp dialogue, even sharper outfits, and a cast of characters who all have something to hide behind their perfectly veneered smiles. Cast and Creative Pedigree While the full call sheet is still being guarded more closely than the recipe for Chick-fil-A sauce, we do know that the production is looking for a lead who can balance comedic timing with genuine vulnerability. The project is reportedly being developed by some of the sharpest minds in the mystery-comedy space, ensuring the tone stays biting and avoid falling into the "Hallmark Channel" trap of being too precious. Why You’ll Be Obsessed Let’s be real: we are living in a Golden Age of the "Whodunnit." But If It’s Tuesday, It’s Murder promises to differentiate itself by leaning into the absurdity of high-society expectations. It’s not just about who killed the club president; it’s about why the secretary’s pearls are fake and why the tennis pro is hiding a burner phone. It’s the kind of show that rewards you for being a judgmental observer of human nature which, let's face it, is a skill we've all mastered by now. Key Details at a Glance Feature Details Streaming Platform Hulu Source Material Based on the novel by Vivian Chien Genre Dark Comedy / Murder Mystery Vibe Only Murders meets Knives Out Target Audience People who enjoy tea, gossip, and forensic science The Verdict Hulu announced a release date of March 31 also dropping on Disney+. It’s the perfect addition to a lineup that thrives on witty, character-driven mysteries. If the show stays true to the sharp, satirical tone of the source material, it’s bound to be a "must-watch" for anyone who prefers their crime stories with a side of snark and a very expensive glass of Chardonnay. The stakes are high, the secrets are dirty, and we’re ready to RSVP. Keep your eyes locked on The TV Cave for more updates, casting leaks, and eventual recaps of every bloody Tuesday.

Animal Masks, Safety Deposit Boxes and A Murder for $40 A murder investigation headed by Angie and Ormewood takes place at a local bank. They watch a video from the security cameras and see a customer angry over being shorted money at the ATM. He sees some people inside the bank and yells to them he wants his money, $40.00. Those were the last words he uttered.  The people who shot him were dressed in animal masks, and just finished robbing the bank. They did not need any witnesses as they made a clean getaway. Mr. Price, the bank branch manager, is having a meltdown and no help to the investigation. Angie and Ormewood begin checking the safety deposit boxes room. They immediately see that one of the safety deposit boxes was tampered with, and ask for the owner’s identity. Price says it’s against policy to reveal that information. Angie and Ormewood don’t have time to waste, and go get a warrant. They know these bank robbers are pros. Jennings Luxury Matchmaking In the morgue, Amanda, Will and Faith meet with Pete over the latest GBI murder case, Sawyer Jennings. Amanda says a lot of powerful Atlanta people use the Jennings Luxury Matchmaking Services. That’s why they were called in to investigate. She can’t understand why people stopped just meeting people on their own, chance encounters. Pete adds that he’s involved with a hermit movement. He’s happy to be a part of the new trend and offers to get information to everyone. Will, Faith and Amanda simultaneously adamantly say they don't want to know anything about that. Pete returns his attention to their murder victim who was shot with his back turned. It happened outside the victim’s home. Will suggests it could have been a disgruntled client. Faith looks through the women posted on the services website. They have identical backgrounds, ages and are event planners. Will says whatever they do, the description is vague enough no follow-up questions are asked. Faith gives them some information about her dating experiences, and what happens when she tells her date she works for the GBI. Amanda is shocked when she tells her date her government name and that she works for the government. Faith gets a text and runs away. Nice to Meet You, Malcolm Faith goes to interview the Jennings Luxury Matchmaking Services’ CEO’s business partner,  Ms. Somerman. They were good friends.  There was no animosity or disagreements, and they talked all the time. Ms. Somerman had a legitimate alibi. There was an odd fee amount charged to their male and female clients. Men were charged $50,000 for a membership and women only $5,000. Faith questioned this, and asked if she charged women, it would seem like prostitution. Ms. Somerman said the services they provide have a steep price. They bring people together and help them find joy.  Faith asked for the client list contact information. Ms. Somerman offered to help Faith find her joy and gave her their company’s business card.  Faith tears up the card. Later that night, she dumps her date without meeting him after he asks if she can help him beat his parking ticket. Meanwhile, a great looking guy approaches her at the bar, and tells her how stunning she is. She destroys his introductory line and asks him to sit. Faith introduces herself, but doesn’t give her real name and job. They get to know each other. He invites her to his hotel room. Faith is happy to meet Malcolm.  The morning after is very, very Good. Faith gets to work still wearing yesterday’s outfit. Will is upset because she’s late and puts her on the spot. Amanda and Will both notice she’s still wearing yesterday’s outfit. Will notices some of her underwear hanging out of her purse. Faith tells him to be quiet, and proudly tells Amanda she didn’t use her government name and tells her date she worked for the government. Amanda and Will stop teasing Faith and refocus everyone on the Sawyer case. Jennings was with a woman, Anna Martello. She was angry-crying.  Real Detective Work-Investigating, Deducing and Tech Solves Cases A show walking the viewer through actual police investigation and detective work, step-by-step is rare, and this show did just that with this episode. It was intriguing to watch the detectives brainstorm, then fill-in the missing pieces that were obvious and not found at the crime scenes. It’s like the old, fictitious Sherlock Holmes or Charlie Chan movies. Will in his detective trademark attire,and Faith go to interview a witness. Angie and Ormewood do exceptional reworking of all their factual crime scene details, and lots of deductive reasoning. They review all the digital evidence and find something that was overlooked. They find a very important clue that helps them quickly close in on the perpetrators and solve the case. They search the crime cases database and find something.  All cases followed the clues, information from witness interviews and data retrieved guided the detectives in the right direction. One witness interviewed gave Faith and Will valued information to help bring down untouchable murderers. A tattoo and an interview with the tattoo artist provided more information that led Angie and Ormewood to their murderer, and also saved a life. It was good seeing the behind-the-scenes investigative work and camaraderie of all the detectives.  Scenes that Add Depth, Cuteness and Develop Characters A cute scene occurred between Captain Heller and Franklin putting together multiple pieces of a baby stroller for Angie. It was nice to see their efforts and pride rewarded with a smile and thank you from Angie. Was the baby stroller functional? Another cute scene was seeing Faith fall in love. This was great to finally see. Did it last? The GBI Elevator scene was by far the cutest and showed fun character interaction. Will and Faith’s partnership is hilarious enough when Will teases her about her personal life, and is on full display in the GBI elevator. Angie and Ormewood later get on that same elevator, and Ormewood spills some more information about Faith’s private business. Franklin gets on the same elevator strapped with a drill ready to work. Faith asks Angie if she can rub her tummy, and gives it a rub telling Angie’s future baby she’s her Auntie Faith. Will doesn’t like it, and quickly leaves the elevator. Cute seeing Will on a scooter, and enjoying it. It was awesome to see that helped Will and Faith solve their case.   I enjoyed how this episode worked to join both the police force detectives and GBI together to solve the robbery case. It was so cool seeing Will and Ormewood doing surveillance together. What they discovered was a surprising way to end this episode. I was yelling “NO!” What a disaster. It was so sad for one of their own, a real gut punch, but Faith handled it well. I am very anxious to see what happens next. This was a great show. It was well-written and had excellent performances. It showed good character development and depth. This was one of their best episodes this season. I give this episode 4.9 Stars out 5 .

In the heartfelt follow up to the Season 3 opener of Apple TV’s wonder hit, “Shrinking,” the ensemble comedy-drama series’ writers continue to artfully weave themes of loss, healing, and relationships into a mosaic of irreverent humor and emotional warmth. Set against the backdrop of the quirky dynamics and charming chaos of a decidedly diverse friend group brought together by death, the story brilliantly showcases each week how this band of perfectly imperfect neighbors, friends, and family redefine what it means to show up for each other. Such is the premise of “Happiness Mission,” Episode 2 of this third season of the series,  starring Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, and Jessica Williams. As Jimmy Laird (Segel) and friends confront each other’s issues each week (and there are many for people whose lives are mired in mental health), we see the characters wrestling with the sense of being "stuck" in their lives. The portrayal of this struggle resonates, especially through Jimmy, whose made incredible strides to move through the loss of his beloved wife, Tia, but admittedly, not ready to take that next step to open himself to someone new, which comes in the form of his quirky neighbor, Sofi, played by Colbie Smolders.  Best known for her portrayal of high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Maria Hill in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Smolders plays the self-doubting Sofi, with her own anxiety lurking beneath her bubbly exterior, reminding us that our middle school selves are not often left that far in the past. While we find ourselves rooting for these two, there could be some co-dependency in this potential situationship.  The episode opens with the characters planning how they will help Dr. Paul Rhoades (Ford), senior therapist and everyone’s mentor, adjust his life schedule as his Parkinson’s disease progresses. With little direct input, himself, Paul stands by as his friends and fiancé coordinate the comings and goings of his daily life. Each member of his self-appointed entourage  – from the overly enthusiastic fellow therapist, Dr. Gabi (Williams), to the no-nonsense neighbor, Liz, played by Christa Miller, and her goofy, but lovable husband, Derek (Ted McGinley) — step in to help Paul face his ever-growing challenges.  Once only limited by his physical capacity, the disease has since graduated to his mental proficiency, most notably through hallucinations. Through clever writing and well-timed comedic beats, the narrative cleverly balances the heavy themes with lighthearted moments, ensuring a fast-paced 35 minutes that remains engaging and even uplifting. Much of the episode centers around the supportive friends and compadres’ concerted efforts to help Paul navigate his daily life. Made all the more complicated when Liz is tasked with being the keeper of Paul’s calendar — a role she relishes in — less for the pomp and circumstance and more for the infinite power to tell the often controlled Yoda-like Paul what to do next. Yeah, I went there.  The tables are turned when Paul counsels Liz and Derek on coddling their adult son — to the point said son has boomeranged back home, yet again, after another job loss. As the quintessential lawn mower parents, plowing down every problem Matthew has had well into his young adult life, Liz and Derek’s well-intentioned efforts to help their son has kept him forever tethered to them (and their couch). When Paul later helps Derek understand how his actions in the present might actually have their roots in his own parental past, Derek pulls on his big boy pants to find the courage to take a tough love step with his son. Paul is not without his own win here, as he finds the fire remains for the work he does. Parkinson’s has not yet extinguished that desire.  One of the standout plot-lines of the episode revolves around the theme of forgiveness. Williams’ Dr. Gabi, who often preaches the “let them” philosophy so readily to her friends and patients, appears to be the one who has the most difficult time moving passed the loss of her best friend, Tia. The feeling comes to a head when she repeatedly sees Jimmy (Segel) and his daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell) allowing Louis to find a comfortable room in their lives — the very man who was behind the wheel of the car that took her BFF’s life. To see Jimmy and Alice consciously help Louis work through his own feelings of loss surrounding his former girlfriend, finding a measure of peace and acceptance, and even forgiveness, in the face of the man who upended all of their lives, gives the episode, dare I say, the series, its most powerful scene, to date. Through a tear-stained monologue, Gabi confronts Louis in the home that once carried Tia’s light, laying out in painful detail why his presence in her life and that her family of friends has further been insulted by his wallow in self-pity and refusal to accept his second chance at living his life. With a face and demeanor anchored by the weight of that fateful night, Brett Goldstein’s portrayal of the reserved and reflective Louis is quite the departure from his character of the brash, intense, and intimidating Roy Kent of Ted Lasso fame. And, like that previous Apple streaming series, Goldstein also serves a co-executive producer for Shrinking. The show’s backdrop—a community of friends who embrace each other's quirks—acts as a character in its own right, accentuating the importance of support systems in the healing journey. The ensemble cast vividly plays off each other’s strengths, providing comic relief while also prompting deeper reflections on their struggles. Underlying this humor is a gentle reminder that mental health is a collective issue that requires understanding, patience, and love."Happiness Mission” is a beautifully crafted episode that resonates with anyone who has ever felt lost or bogged down by life's curveballs. While healing can be a messy, winding road, moving forward is always possible, especially with a supportive tribe at your side — those no-judgement people who show up at any hour just as they are, even if its in barely-there gym shorts. Yeah, we see you Brian! Also starring Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, and Wendy Malik, Shrinking drops new episodes each Wednesday on Apple TV+ through April 8.

And just like that we’re back with another great episode of The Rookie . Last night’s episode was still a storyline whiplash, however, this time it was executed beautifully.  Aaron Thorsen Has Returned Along with Another Friendly Face It was a smart move to keep Aaron’s leave open-ended because it made for a wonderful surprise visit in this episode. His energy in this episode was everything . From the moment he walked up to everyone in the parking lot, it was like a breath of fresh air. Aaron was there for an important reason though; he was assisting the FBI task force with infiltrating someone they’ve had their eye on but was unable to get an in with the target, until Aaron. It turns out Aaron spent time with him while he was incarcerated which means he was the FBI’s best bet. It was nice seeing him back in action with the Mid-Wilshire gang.  “The Network” - THE ROOKIE, Pictured: Michelle Núñez as Elena Flores, Felix Solis as Matthew Garza, Tru Valentino as Aaron Thorsen, and Richard T. Jones as Wade Grey. Photo: (Disney/Mike Taing). All Rights Reserved.  Not only did we get Aaron back, but this episode also brought back a friendly face from The Rookie:Feds ; Elena Flores. Being that this was an operation that required technical hacking skills, of course they’d call on Elena. Elena, along with Aaron, John, and a couple officers, the FBI was successful in their operation, but not before they nearly got themselves blown up.  It was great seeing how confident Aaron has gotten. When we last saw him, he was spiraling bad after not being able to come to terms with his ptsd after being attacked. I hope we get to see him back again soon. Both he and Elena made this episode enjoyable.  I’m Ready for Bailey’s Exit I’m honestly not understanding what’s happening with Bailey and John right now. I thought it was clear that John has established roots for himself in Los Angeles. He bought a run down home and did his own renovations making his home even that more special. Why would Bailey think that he’d easily walk away from that? If that wasn’t enough of a reason, how about the fact that she’s asking someone who was already one of the oldest rookies to join the LAPD to start over again . John entertained the idea, even going as far as asking Grey for advice. Even in this episode, he spoke with Garza about potentially joining the FBI to which he said the cut off age is thirty-five which we all know John is well past.  “The Network” - THE ROOKIE, Pictured: Nathan Fillion as John Nolan and Jenna Dewan as Bailey Nune. Photo: (Disney/Mike Taing). All Rights Reserved.  What really bugged me about how Bailey went about this was that she sent him links to apartments to look at before she even knew where John’s head was with everything. She even went ahead and reached out to people on his behalf to see how he’d get a job with the FBI. I understand wanting to explore this opportunity, but John made a point; she is always chasing something. This is why she has so many hobbies.  This feels like the beginning of the end for that and I am truly looking forward to when that time comes. Marriage is about compromise and it’s obvious Bailey has forgotten that. What I wonder is, does she believe this marriage is worth fighting for? The way she easily walked away makes me think she doesn’t.  Let’s Wrap These Monica Storylines Up She’s back… again. The FBI just can’t seem to get enough of Monica, but unfortunately, I have. When she first came on to the scene, it was interesting. She is clearly a lawyer, sorry disbarred lawyer, who plays dirty to win big. Knowing this, the FBI continually involves her in these cases and always  grants her immunity. Are they ever going to learn? “The Network” - THE ROOKIE, Pictured: Bridget Regan as Monica Stevens. Photo: (Disney/Mike Taing). All Rights Reserved. After assisting them with getting access to a very expensive phone, she’s then seen at the end of the episode spoiling the hard work the FBI did to get this tap in place. We have no idea who she’s talking to, but clearly it’s someone who now knows the FBI will be listening in. So, again, will the FBI ever learn? These storylines involving Monica have felt like “wash, rinse, and repeat” lately. They’re not engaging, it’s no longer surprising when she turns on them, and I think it’s time we wrap this up.  Lucy and Celina = Dynamic Duo  Lucy has great observational skills, which is why it always bothered me that she wasn’t further along in her career. This episode only proved my point at how great she is.  While TID worked on the scene where two LAPD officers were shot, something felt off to Lucy. The two officers, Ian Coleman and Eileen White, were found with gunshot wounds and when asked what happened, they both claimed they were ambushed. The person they claimed was responsible was a CI they worked with.  “The Network” - THE ROOKIE, Pictured: Lisseth Chavez as Celina Juarez and Melissa O’Neil as Lucy Chen. Photo: (Disney/Mike Taing). All Rights Reserved Lucy, at the scene, felt like the way the officers described what happened doesn’t align with what she was seeing. Asking Celina to hear her out, Celina agreed that the blood splatters at the scene are inconsistent to the story which means these officers were lying about what happened.  I was hoping for something a little more devious going on, but it turns out that two officers were having an affair and they got into a fight that turned into, well, a shoot out between the two. Great catch, Lucy.  This week’s episode was better than last week’s for sure, but I wish they’d stop with the storyline whiplash. I could say a lot more about this episode, but we’d be here all night. I want to hear from you. Share your thoughts!

After years of "will-he-won-he" drama that made Succession look like a low-stakes preschool play, the Walt Disney Company has finally stopped playing musical chairs. Josh D’Amaro has been officially crowned the successor to Bob Iger, and the Disney fandom not to mention Wall Street is currently vibrating at a frequency usually reserved for the opening of a new Star Wars ride. The Smile That Launched a Thousand Cruises Let’s be real: D’Amaro isn't your typical suit. While previous executives seemed to view the theme parks as giant vending machines that occasionally broke down, D’Amaro has spent the last few years as the Chairman of Disney Experiences , effectively acting as the company’s "Main Street Mayor." He’s the guy who actually shows up to the parks, takes selfies with guests, and somehow manages to look like he stepped out of a catalog even in 90-degree Orlando humidity. But don’t let the charismatic grin fool you. This isn’t just a PR move. By choosing D’Amaro, Disney is doubling down on the one part of the empire that actually prints money: the parks, the cruises, and the merch. In a world where streaming is a financial headache and linear TV is on life support, the $60 billion "turbocharge" expansion D’Amaro is spearheading is Disney’s real North Star. The Power Couple: D’Amaro and Walden The most interesting wrinkle in this succession saga isn't just D’Amaro’s promotion; it’s the arrival of a "Co-Pilot." Dana Walden , the powerhouse behind Disney’s creative engines, has been elevated to President and Chief Creative Officer . This is a strategic masterstroke (or a very expensive safety net). While D’Amaro handles the $18 churros and the cruise ship logistics, Walden will be the one making sure the actual stories don’t fall off a cliff. If D’Amaro is the landlord of the Magic Kingdom, Walden is the architect. It’s a "Brains and Beauty" approach to corporate governance that aims to soothe investors who were worried D’Amaro lacked the "Hollywood" DNA required to manage Marvel and Lucasfilm. Can He Fix the Glitch? D’Amaro officially takes the wheel on March 18, 2026 , but the honeymoon period is already ticking away. He inherits a kingdom that is currently trying to figure out how to make Disney+ profitable without charging us for the air we breathe, all while fighting off the creeping exhaustion of "franchise fatigue." The take? D’Amaro is the ultimate "Vibe Shift" for Disney. He’s younger, he’s faster, and he’s arguably the first CEO since Walt who actually looks like he enjoys being in a theme park. Whether he can navigate the choppy waters of AI integration and the death of cable TV remains to be seen, but at least the company finally has a plan that doesn't involve Bob Iger un-retiring for the fifth time. Why This Matters for Your Remote For us at The TV Cave , this move signals a massive shift in how Disney views content. With Walden reporting to D’Amaro, expect more synergy than a corporate retreat in the Hamptons. We’re looking at a future where the shows you stream on Tuesday are the rides you board on Saturday for better or worse. Disney has finally stopped looking backward at its legacy and started looking at its ledger. Josh D’Amaro is the man with the keys to the castle, and we’re all just living in his Magic Kingdom now. What do you think of the D'Amaro era? Is he the savior the Mouse needs, or just a very polished face for a massive corporate machine?
