We are only four weeks into Fox’s new hit thriller and things are already ramping up to a breakneck pace. If you thought Angelo Flannery (Patrick Dempsey) was going to spend the season slowly wandering through a foggy memory of suburban domesticity, episode 4, "Unhappy Ending," just served as a violent wake-up call.

Interview: Costa D’Angelo Teases What’s Next for Alex in Tell Me Lies Season 3 Finale
Few shows thrive on emotional wreckage quite like Tell Me Lies and as Season 3 barrels toward its finale, the Hulu drama appears ready to twist the knife even deeper. We caught up with Costa D’Angelo, who plays the quietly dangerous and endlessly fascinating Alex, while on set and he opened up about what fans should brace for as the season comes to a close. Spoiler-free, but not sting-free. (Sorry fans as Costa was busy filiming this is a non-video interview.) D’Angelo’s jo

The ’Burbs Episode 2 Recap: Everyone in Hinkley Hills Is Hiding Something
The honeymoon phase of moving into a new neighborhood usually lasts until the first lawn mower starts at 7:00 AM. For Samira Fisher, it didn't even make it past the pilot. We’re back in the cul-de-sac for Peacock’s second outing of The 'Burbs , titled "Mind Your Own Business," and the vibes are officially rancid, in the best way possible. Picking up just a few days after the premiere, we find Samira (the ever-charismatic Keke Palmer ) spiraling. After having the cops called

The ’Burbs Episode 1 Recap: The Safest Town in America?
The wait is finally over. The cul-de-sac is quiet, the lawns are manicured to a suspicious degree and Keke Palmer is officially our new queen of suburban paranoia. Peacock’s highly anticipated reimagining of the 1989 cult classic The 'Burbs has dropped, and if the pilot episode, "The Goddamn Brownies," is any indication, we’re in for a season of dark secrets and even darker humor. Before we dive into the dirt, make sure you check out our spoiler-free season review and our

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Review: Netflix’s Legal Drama Puts Mickey Haller on Trial and It Mostly Works
Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer has always thrived on a simple fantasy: what if the smoothest defense attorney in Los Angeles could talk his way out of anything, preferably from the back seat of a very nice car? With Season 4, the series finally flips that premise on its head. This time, Mickey Haller isn’t defending a morally dubious client, he is the client. And for the most part, that risky narrative pivot pays off. Picking up directly after the jaw-dropper ending of Season

After weeks of being bogged down by the Hannah storyline, the show finally pivoted back to what it does best: messy personal lives, medical anomalies that sound like science fiction and the kind of romantic tension that makes you want to yell at your screen.

Spartacus: House of Ashur Season 1 Episode 9 Recap — When Rome Pulls the Strings, Everyone Bleeds
Oh, Capua. You think you know survival until you’ve spent an hour watching Spartacus: House of Ashur , where strength is almost irrelevant and the only thing that matters is who can scheme harder while smiling at the wrong person. Episode 9, “Those Who Remain,” doesn’t pull punches, literally or figuratively. Loyalty? Optional. Honor? Overrated. Mercy? Only if it benefits your career. The episode kicks off with the inevitable grim parade: Celadus’ body returns to the ludus. C

If you’ve been watching 9-1-1: Nashville since the pilot, you know the drill. We’ve endured the heart-wrenching country ballads, Chris O’Donnell’s brooding "captain face," and enough sirens to trigger a local noise complaint. But for ten episodes, fans have been screaming at their screens for one specific thing: some actual movement on the Blue and Taylor front.

The latest installment of Shondaland’s Regency drama universe has officially arrived and while the series continues to deliver lush costumes, jaw-dropping sets and simmering social intrigue, this season at least so far feels like a lukewarm cup of tea compared to previous highs.
