THE HUB

Apparently, we are celebrating America’s birthday in April now. Patriotism doesn't follow a calendar on reality TV, and this week’s Next Level Chef proved that nothing says "freedom" like high-stakes anxiety and an appetizer tray. Season 5, Episode 13, titled "A Toast to America's 250th," tasked our final six chefs with honoring the American spirit through the medium of small bites. Because if there is one thing this country loves more than liberty, it’s finger food. The Powe

After weeks of side-eyeing every man in this series and let’s be honest, most of the women too, the Imperfect Women season finale finally delivered the closure we were gasping for. Titled "The Bridge," the episode stopped playing coy and finally answered the question that’s been haunting our group chats: Who actually killed Nancy? If you had "the seemingly stable husband with a terrifying control streak" on your bingo card, congratulations, you’ve watched television before. T

The emotional fallout from Amanda Wagner’s death takes center stage in Will Trent Season 4, Episode 17, “Where’d You Come From, Little Angel,” as Will is forced to confront both his grief and a complex murder case that pushes him to the brink. The episode opens with a flashback to 2005. A young Wilbur Trent runs through the streets with stolen food hidden under his jacket while a farmer chases after him. He collides with someone crossing the street, hits the ground, scrambles

Last night’s episode of The Rookie was the best “I’m sorry we did that” to make up for the documentary episode - I’m convinced. I usually can’t stand the storyline whiplash, but this time around it flowed seamlessly. From a visit by a familiar face to a death we didn’t see coming, this episode was one of the best all season. The Glasser Case Continues Before we get into this case, I’d like to just ask one thing: why is Bailey always tagging along police investigations? John

If you bet your life savings that R.J. Decker would end its freshman run with a tidy bow and a group hug, I hope you kept the receipt. The Season 1 finale, "Even Walls Fall Down," just wrapped on ABC, and it delivered exactly what we’ve come to expect from this show: high-stakes photography, questionable legal ethics, and a body count that makes South Beach look like a retirement community. For ten episodes, we’ve watched R.J. (Scott Speedman) try to prove that his prison sti

Jules’ New Reality Jules (Hunter Schafer) is shown immersed in painting as we learn how she becomes a sugar baby. Her roommate Vivian (Cailyn Rice) encourages her to go on dates while attending art school. Jules gives it a try, initially seeing multiple men before eventually settling into an arrangement with a plastic surgeon, who becomes her primary partner. During one of their conversations, he asks when she transitioned, and she shares that it was at 14. Soon after, Jules

Parenthood, medical emergencies, and a ticking clock because apparently one crisis per episode is beneath this show now. Lauren and Adam finally arrive at the hospital, ready to meet their triplets after what feels like an eternity of waiting. Their OB-GYN, Dr. Tabitha Malena, walks them through the cesarean procedure, reassuring them everything will go smoothly. They’re nervous, understandably, but cautiously optimistic. Watson backs up Dr. Malena’s credibility before gettin

If you thought your Monday morning commute was a disaster, wait until you see what the staff at Boston Memorial had to deal with last week. In the latest installment of Boston Blue, titled "Anatomy of a Bomb," the writers decided that a standard cop drama wasn't enough. No, they needed 60 kilograms of dynamite and a father with a very justifiable grudge to really spice up the hospital cafeteria menu. A Clerical Error with Explosive Consequences The episode kicks off with the

We’ve finally made it to the Season 2 Finale of Matlock and wow, this was an amazing Season Finale that sets up Season 3 really well. We pick up with Matty settling into the idea that she is going to have to let go of her Matty Matlock persona and go back to being Madeline Kingston. It’s clear that this is something that she is wrestling with because although she wants this to be over to feel a sense of justice for Ellie’s death, she also doesn’t want to lose Olympia, or her

The doors of Woodstone Mansion have seen their fair share of historical drama, but nothing quite prepares a homeowner for the specific headache of a potential buyout. In the latest installment of CBS’s hit supernatural sitcom, Ghosts Season 5 Episode 17, titled “The Investor,” Sam and Jay Arondekar find themselves navigating the treacherous waters of high finance while their resident spectral roommates engage in a power struggle that would make a corporate boardroom look like

Colonel Quinn returns to his old quarters to retrieve a few belongings, only to be greeted by his replacement, General Martin. She welcomes him in and wastes no time establishing her authority, highlighting her impressive résumé as the first Canadian woman to see combat and to lead NATO. The space has already been updated with her aesthetic choices, signaling a clear shift in control. Quinn attempts to charm her over a drink, but Martin quickly shuts down his maneuvering, war

The air in Edgewater is getting colder, but the local criminal element is just warming up. This week’s installment of Sheriff Country, Season 1, Episode 16, titled “Twenty Four Candles,” gives us a birthday celebration wrapped in a federal-sized land-grab conspiracy. Between illegal weed co-ops, predatory real estate developers, and a daughter trying to fly the coop, Mickey is juggling enough drama to fill a fire station. Here is the full recap and breakdown of the madness th

If you thought the stress levels in Gordon Ramsay’s three-story culinary skyscraper couldn't get any higher, "Use Your Noodle" proved that all it takes to break a professional chef is a 30-minute timer and a literal pile of pasta. As the final seven contestants entered the arena for Season 5, Episode 12, the stakes shifted from "don't embarrass your mentor" to "every chef for themselves." The Noodle Grab: A Lesson in Sabotage The challenge was simple on paper: create a world-

This week on Abbott Elementary, Ava Fest is underway, Janine and Gregory are still circling their breakup, Dominic learns that adapting to teaching is not the same as adapting to Abbott culture, and Melissa finds a way to turn fake hall passes into personal quiet time. Ava and Jacob are trying to get Janine and Gregory back together, but it is not working. Ava is ready to give up because Ava Fest is the next day, and Barbara and Melissa tell them to mind their business. Natur

After years of Kevin Atwater being the moral compass of the 21st District and usually getting the short end of the stick in the romance department, Chicago P.D. Season 13, Episode 18, titled "The Wicked River," finally stopped gatekeeping his happiness. In an hour that balanced a classic "rich people doing bad things" procedural with some long-overdue personal stakes, Intelligence proved that even in the grittiest parts of Chicago, some things actually work out. A Case of Pri

The Drama is one of those movies that really stuck with me after I left the cinema. It’s also a movie that’s causing a lot of discourse online and was so jarring that I ended up seeing it twice to fully form my opinions for this review. The movie follows Charlie and Emma, a young couple who are planning to get married and they shows the lead up to the ceremony and the downfall/changes within their relationship. Robert Pattinson and Zendaya give phenomenal performances in thi

The Viltrumites arrive on Earth and begin their attack with a tidal wave and devastating bombs, leaving the planet in ruins. It’s a striking way to open the finale. Mark is already worried about their arrival, but the destruction turns out to be a nightmare. It’s a jarring fake-out that sets the tone for everything that follows. Nolan tries to reassure Mark that the Viltrumites may not even be headed to Earth, but Zoe quickly presses for a real plan if they are. The silence s

Too Much to Handle Too much to handle. Will is on his knees next to Amanda’s body outside a hotel, gently holding and rocking her while refusing to let anyone near her. Angie approaches and quietly places her hand on his shoulder, telling him they have to let the technicians do their job. He finally agrees and gently lays Amanda down, standing nearby, completely lost, as the CSI team works the scene. Faith, Ormewood, Franklin, and Will can hardly believe Amanda is gone. She l

If you were born too late to witness the glove, the moonwalk, or the pure electricity of the Bad tour in person, Antoine Fuqua just handed you a golden ticket. Screening Michael early felt less like sitting in a dark theater and more like being transported directly to the front row of a stadium tour. It’s an immersive, loud, and unapologetic celebration of a man who was less of a human and more of a global phenomenon. Jaafar Jackson Isn’t Just Acting; He’s Channeling Let’s ge

Opening: Rue’s New Role & Tish’s Death The episode opens with Rue (Zendaya) working for Alamo, and one of her first jobs is helping cover up Tish’s death. We learn that Laurie’s (Martha Kelly) drugs were accidentally laced with fentanyl because Faye (Chloe Cherry) didn’t clean the scale before weighing the ecstasy. Alamo and Laurie argue over the phone, with Laurie denying she added fentanyl. Alamo reminds her that he helped build her reputation and warns that since she “took
