Matlock Season 2 Episode 2: “Another Matlock” Delivers a Gripping Showdown
Wow. This episode of Matlock was phenomenal and definitely one of my favorite so far in the series. I think all of the characters got their fair share of screentime & we are finally seeing things reach their breaking points. One of my key highlights is the same as Episode 1, Matty & Olympia’s relationship. We see them in this episode playing games with each other, it’s very much a push and pull situation. I think this is truly where Skye and Kathy are going to shine this sea

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

After two tightrope-walking seasons of diplomatic disasters and marital cold wars, Season 3 ups the stakes both globally and domestically. With nuclear weapons on the table and relationships falling apart faster tha

I, Swear (2025): Why Robert Aramayo Deserves a BAFTA Nomination
Over the past twenty years, it’s often felt like the British film industry has been hanging by a thread. As someone who’s English born and raised, with Scottish descent, it’s been disheartening to see the decline in homegrown stories that feel genuinely British in both spirit and identity. Thankfully, I, Swear has given me hope again. It’s a small, independent British drama that’s been quietly gaining attention among film fans in the UK — and after seeing it, I understand wh
