Devious Maids Season 4 Episode 2 Recap: This means war

June 13, 2016 StayTuned Staff

After last week’s Devious Maids Season 4 premiere, we were relieved when Spence knocked his head on the floor and regained all his memories of Rosie. We were just as shocked as Spence, after a night of too many drinks, woke up to find Peri’s dead body on the floor. While it’s unclear who killed Peri, it appears that someone is trying to frame Spence. • MORE DEVIOUS MAIDS SEASON 4 RECAPS: Episode 1 At six in the morning, Genevieve might not want to hear Rosie’s wonderful news about Spence calling her 15 times, but I know I do! Spence left Rosie a […]

June 10, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

In another example of fans saving a beloved TV show, the country music drama series Nashville, recently axed by ABC, will be back with a new season on CMT following an outcry from viewers. “CMT heard the fans. The wave of love and appreciation they have unleashed for Nashville has been overwhelming,” said Brian Philips, President of CMT. “Nashville is a perfect addition to our evolving line-up of big music specials, documentaries, and original series. We see our fans and ourselves in this show and we will treasure it like no other network. Nashville belongs on CMT.” A consistent favorite of […]

Devious Maids Season 4 Episode 1 Recap: Killer party

June 6, 2016 StayTuned Staff

We open up Season 4 of Devious Maids with a special appearance from the show’s executive producer, Eva Longoria. Marisol’s book is getting made into a Hollywood film and Longoria is playing the role of Evelyn’s murdered maid, Flora. Marisol is trying to prove how her book is about the maids and Latina empowerment, but the actresses playing Flora and Evelyn don’t seem to get it. I’m surprise Carmen didn’t ask to be squeezed in. The Season 3 finale was an explosive episode…literally. Evelyn’s house blew up with Sebastien and Adrian still inside. We were left without knowing if Adrian […]

UnREAL Lifetime’s Firebrand Dramedy Tackles Race and Men’s Rights in Season 2

June 6, 2016 Lori Acken

When Lifetime’s UnREAL premiered last summer, critics and audiences fell hard for the bold, Peabody-winning dramedy’s willingness to grab Bachelor-esque style programming by the you-know-whats and guide it not-so-gently to a good long look in the mirror. Equal parts social commentary and whip-smart entertainment, Season 1 took on matters of mental health, body image, feminism, fidelity and sexuality — and what people will do to one another for the sake of a buck — with searing style. • MORE: What you need to know about UnREAL Season 2 For Season 2, UnREAL creators Marti Noxon and Sarah Gertrude Shapiro opted to steer […]

June 6, 2016 StayTuned Staff

Lifetime’s telenovela Devious Maids returns for Season 4 tonight and fans hoping to see executive producer Eva Longoria in front of the cameras get their wish in the premiere. Longoria’s former Desperate Housewives costar James Denton also joins the cast as Peter, a movie studio chief. More good news, Devious Army: fan favorite Nathan Owens returns as Jesse, who finds himself in a love triangle with Marisol (and possibly Denton’s Peter?).

Roots: The Classic Novel and Miniseries Gets a Powerful New Adaptation

May 30, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

Roots, based on Alex Haley’s novel, was first produced for television in 1977, when the epic, eight-part miniseries went on to gain huge audiences (its finale still ranks as the No. 3 highest-rated episode of television) and launch a star in LeVar Burton, who played the iconic character of Kunta Kinte. In History’s exceptional four-part retelling of Roots, it is into Burton’s memorable shoes that actor Malachi Kirby now steps as Kunta, the initial, and overarching, protagonist in a story that leads from 1750 Africa, to the slave trade and plantation life, and beyond the Civil War. Although this new […]

Animal Kingdom: Ellen Barkin is One Bad Mother in TNT’s Sexy New Drama

May 26, 2016 Lori Acken

Ellen Barkin is 62. Sixty. Two. Trust me, you’re going to need to remind yourself of that mere moments into Animal Kingdom, TNT’s scorching, action-packed new drama based on the critically acclaimed 2010 Australian film starring Guy Pearce, Jacki Weaver and Blindspot’s Sullivan Stapleton. Barkin — all tousled locks, burnished skin and plump pout — also rocks skyscraper heels, skinny jeans and plunging tanks like a boss as Janine “Smurf” Cody, matriarch of a crime family that is literally family. Though Smurf sits out the actual heists that have made her crew filthy rich, she rules her grown sons — […]

Empire Season 2 Finale Recap: The Cycle Never Ends

May 18, 2016 StayTuned Staff

After last week’s shocking episode of Empire, I was a little afraid to see what the Season 2 finale would bring. The last time we saw Jamal, he was being rushed to the hospital after being shot by Freda — who was really aiming for Lucious. Despite the rumors that Jussie Smollett, who plays Jamal, wasn’t returning, I’m happy to say that Jamal is okay! He returns home after three weeks and tells his family that he wants the violent cycle that’s taken over their family to end. Until that ends, Jamal doesn’t want to sing. Someone please convince Jamal to never stop […]
