The nanny-from-hell trope is back and she’s wearing designer sneakers. Hulu’s reimagining of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle has finally arrived and it is less of a remake and more of a full-blown exorcism of the 1992 thriller’s outdated gender politics. Directed by Michelle Garza Cervera and starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Maika Monroe, the film ditches cheesy melodrama in favor of a moody, slow-burn psychological thriller that’s a whole lot smarter than it has any righ

The episode opens with a dramatic rescue at the concert concluding and followed up with a water tower rescue during a tornado, and yes, it’s as over-the-top as it sounds. This is the 9

Sheriff Country Pilot Review: Is the Fire Country Spinoff Already More Compelling Than Its Predecessor?
CBS may have stumbled upon its next small-town obsession with Sheriff Country , a spinoff that dares to ask, what if the sheriff had just as much baggage as the criminals she’s locking up? From the ashes (literally) of Fire Country rises a pilot that is far messier, far juicier procedural with emotional stakes, family dysfunction, and yes, Morena Baccarin in a badge. And if that alone isn’t enough to get you to watch, let’s just say Matt Lauria is giving the silver foxes a r
