THE HUB

Netflix promised the end of an era, and Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 arrives with all the weight, nostalgia, and expectations that come with closing out one of the most defining TV series of the streaming age. These middle chapters of the final season don’t go for the jugular just yet. Instead, they slow things down, lean hard into emotion, and carefully arrange the chessboard before the endgame. Whether that feels thoughtful or frustrating depends on how patient you’re

There’s a great show hiding somewhere inside The Copenhagen Test . On paper, Peacock’s latest original has all the ingredients of a buzzy, conversation-starting sci-fi thriller: espionage, paranoia, cutting-edge surveillance tech, and an intelligence agent whose very mind has been compromised by a foreign enemy. In an era where data breaches, AI surveillance, and digital privacy are daily anxieties, the premise feels timely, unsettling, and ripe for tension. Unfortunately, af

Episode 6 of television’s new favorite oil drama dropped December 21. While there is no fun and festivus wrapped in a very special Christmas message with its proximity to the holidays, the 53 minutes of the latest installment of Paramount+’s hit series, Landman , is the gift that keeps on giving. The episode opens to a beautiful Texas sunrise set against a cloudless sky, as the dead of night gives way to the vibrant fiery yellow oranges of a rising fireball. For anyone who g

By the time Boston Blue reaches Season 1 Episode 9, it’s done playing nice. “Collateral Damage” is the hour where simmering tensions finally boil over, personal choices become professional landmines and the show leans fully into what it wants to be: a character-driven cop drama that isn’t afraid to get messy. And messy it gets. If you’ve been waiting for Boston Blue to raise the emotional stakes, this is the episode that delivers, sometimes with a punch, sometimes with a wi

CBS’s Sheriff Country hits a tonal shift in Season 1 Episode 9, “Crucible, Part 1,” and honestly? It’s a mostly welcome one. For the first time since the pilot, the series steps away from the weed grower drama that has hovered over Edgewater like a stubborn cloud of smoke and instead delivers an hour packed with emotional stakes, messy relationships and a case-of-the-week that feels more unsettling than explosive. This episode is less about action and more about pressure and

Season 5 of Netflix’s hit production “Emily In Paris” dropped Thursday, bringing unexpected romances, more exquisite fashion, and fresh complications for American sweetheart Emily and her friends, both personally and professionally. Season 5 also introduced charming characters, including Jake, played by Bryan Greenberg (shout out to One Tree Hill fans) and Princess Jane, played by Minnie Driver. Last time viewers saw Emily, reality hit for her when it came to Gabriel and Cami

No Nutcracker in Midtown Ballet World this Holiday Season This week Elsbeth enters the Ballet World. The story begins with a change to the company’s Nutcracker Ballet performed by the Midtown Ballet Company. It is getting replaced by a new production this holiday season, “Drosselmeyer’s Revenge”, proposed by Donovan Chase, the ballet producer. It’s a modern pop-goth ballet about a young girl’s terror at reaching puberty. The set consists of ‘the contraption’ that has a mouth

CBS’s Ghosts has given us plenty of laughs over the years, but its two-part holiday event, “It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol: Part One” and “It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol: Part Two,” is something special. This hour-long GHOSTSMAS celebration doesn’t just sprinkle in festive cheer, it delivers some of the show’s biggest laughs in a while, meaningful character moments and a surprisingly emotional reminder of why this series continues to work so well. Simply put, this is

James Cameron is back on Pandora and once again, he wants you to sit down, strap in and marvel at what several truckloads of money can do when pointed directly at a movie screen. Avatar: Fire and Ash arrives as the third chapter in Cameron’s sci-fi juggernaut, promising bigger emotions, darker themes, and, naturally, visuals so pristine they make every other blockbuster quietly rethink its life choices. The result? A film that dazzles the eyes, tests your bladder and continu

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) Gone Horribly Wrong Hobie McSorley, the Man with the Glowing Chest, is chatting with the bartender, Jenna, in a Philadelphia hotel, as he waits for his date. He mentions and shows Jenna his glowing chest. He brags about how he gave himself a CRISPR treatment that hacked his DNA which caused his chest to glow. He eagerly tells her DNA can be hacked to make the body better. She asks why someone would do that, an

Music Box: Wizkid: Long Live Lagos is currently streaming on HBO Max and follows Nigerian music artist Wizkid’s rise to fame and preparation to make history as the first African artist to play Tottenhaum Hotspur Stadium in London in July of 2023. It is directed by Karam Gill and beautifully showcases a time capsule of what we know as Afrobeats music today. The colonization of the Nigeria by the British stripped away much of the Nigerian culture and pride they carried. Thus, t

We are now in the meat of the mayhem that is Landman , as the popular oil drama series from co-creator Taylor Sheridan finds its way to its second season midpoint. Episode 5 of the Paramount+ success series, entitled “A Pirate Dinner,” follows Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) in a day-in-the-life saga as he ping-pongs across the Permian Basin circumventing one dumpster fire after another. To keep all of his requisite balls in the air requires a steel countenance, a penchant

The final episode opens with Carrie—now revealed to be Josephine—pointing a gun at Marissa, Peter, and their family. Colin rushes her to try to grab the gun, but in the struggle she accidentally shoots him. She allows Lia to call an ambulance and run outside to let it in. She also allows Brian to go upstairs and attend to Milo, wo is now awake and calling out for his mom. Carrie tells Marissa and Peter that she didn’t come to take Milo—she came to warn Marissa to protect Milo

We have reached the mid-season finale for Matlock Season 2, and wow, I am speechless. This was a perfect Mid-Season Finale and I am already itching for the return in February. We have really pushed all of the current storylines forward and are left on major cliffhangers and wanting to see where our cast is heading when they come back to our screens. We open to an anxious Olympia and Matlock due to Senior acting strange when he was in the office that morning. This leads them

The episode opens six years ago with Josie — who we know as Carrie Finch — living in a trailer under a bridge with Kyle. She’s pregnant and wants a crib, so she goes out to buy one. When she returns, Kyle is being arrested. The officer tells her he’s being taken in for selling drugs, and Kyle insists he only did it because he wanted money for the crib. After he’s taken away, we see Josie taking the crib pieces and smashing them against the trailer in devastation. Suddenly, we

Detective Alcaras tells them that Milo has been found. They rush to the police station, relieved to see Milo happy and healthy. During the interview, Milo explains that he was “on vacation,” that a man blindfolded him and left him in a park, and that he rode in the trunk of a car—but it was only a very short drive. When Milo starts getting tired, Marissa and Peter ask if they can take him home. Marissa can’t shake the feeling that Milo was returned , not found . Back at home,

I have to admit Boston Blue Season 1, Episode 8 hit me right in the feels. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed the season so far as the cases are solid, the characters charming but honestly, the previous episodes felt a little detached from the main characters. Sure, the show delivered weekly mysteries, but I never felt the stakes personally. This episode? Everything changed. From the moment it began, I knew I was in for something different. The murder of a young father isn’t j

If there’s one thing Sheriff Country loves almost as much as small-town angst and complicated relationships, it’s legal weed growers in peril. Season 1 Episode 8, “Death & Taxes,” leans hard into that familiar territory, delivering a case that’s tense on paper but emotionally uneven in execution. The result is an episode that’s watchable, occasionally sharp, but ultimately lands squarely in “mid” territory, saved mostly by character moments and a few fun (if slightly ridicul

Glamazons Reunion The story opens with a Dressed Up magazine journalist, Julian Simons, writing the cover story on the Glamazons 25th Anniversary. I love how they used a writer, in their element, starting the show. He adds some drama and hype to his article as he teases the possible appearance of Tiff Giles, a renowned member of the Glamazons. She was disfigured in a violent street attack, and never worked again as a star super model. It’s rumored she will attend the celebrat

“ The Life and Times of Esther Greene ” finally delivers what Ghosts fans (and let’s be honest, Alberta herself) have been waiting five seasons for: a full-blown backstory reveal. Yes, Alberta Haynes was not always Alberta Haynes. The jazz legend’s real name? Esther Greene , a twist that’s both surprising and somehow perfectly Alberta. The episode opens with a dramatic flashback that looks like Alberta is straight-up murdering a man with a blunt object. Relax. If Ghosts ha
