Check out Rachel Cericola’s Blindspot recaps immediately following each episode.    Blindspot heartthrob Sullivan Stapleton, who plays earnest FBI agent Kurt Weller, swears he doesn’t know much more than you do about why the show’s Jane Doe chose to have her memory erased and her body inked stem to stern, and then get packaged into a duffel bag earmarked for Weller’s employer.Nor is he the least bit sure if Jane is truly Weller’s childhood pal Taylor Shaw. And, yes, he is unraveling the mysteries of Daylight and Orion right […]

Of Kings and Prophets: ABC’s epic biblical drama proves worth the wait

Of Kings and Prophets premieres Tuesday, March 8 at 10/9CT on ABC. Of Kings and Prophets showrunner Chris Brancato admits that bringing a Bible-based epic to network TV — as a weekly primetime series, no less — requires guts. And enough time to do the job right. ABC’s big-budget series was already in production in South Africa when the net approached Brancato — who moved on from his acclaimed Netflix drama Narcos — to helm the show. He opted to scrap Kings’ existing pilot and start fresh, bumping the premiere from the fall 2015 schedule. Shouldering up with Kings’ creators Adam […]

How to Get Away with Murder Recap Season 2 Episode 12: It’s A Trap

This week’s episode of How to Get Away with Murder digs a little deeper into Annalise’s connection to Wes’ mom — which leads to a shocking ending. We start with Wes reading files on Charles Mahoney and trying to make sense of what Annalise dropped off. We go back to 10 year earlier in the restaurant where Annalise is trying to find out what Rose knows from “that night.” The scene is cut into another of Annalise questioning a defendant and trying to see if his story matches up with Rose’s. That way Rose, a cleaning lady, could testify in the trial.

Better Call Saul Season 2 episode 2 recap: It don’t mean squat

When I spoke to Michael McKean prior to the start of Better Call Saul Season 2, he promised me that, soon enough, people would have a better understanding of Chuck’s trepidations about baby brother Jimmy. On tonight’s episode, “Cobbler,” we begin to see why. And to see flickers of the Saul that Breaking Bad fans knew — know — and loved, despite ourselves. And feels pangs for all we now know he has to lose. Also, we get a new McGill-ism to add to the BCS vernacular. But more about that later. It’s worth the wait. Pie fans, consider yourself warned. We […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 34 recap: Jane the Virgin?

We had a week off from Jane the Virgin, but now it’s game time, ladies and gents. And Jane might be losing her v-card to Professor Magic Mike this episode! Being a virgin mother just doesn’t make sense to Jane anymore. Michael didn’t waste any time finding out who the first altered face was on that chip Rose had. He called the man in and told him that he would work with the police in order to get Rose to come down and buy the chip off of him. Too bad that Rose and Elena already know the cops are […]

Shameless Season 6, episode 7 recap – “Pimp’s Paradise”

Last week’s Shameless was a crazy wild ride, offering some closure to some circumstances but only the beginning of others. So looking forward to this week’s episode, I was disappointed — super snoozefest — and it took some weird turns. I have noticed this show is a rollercoaster. Build up a storyline … drag it out … then poof! Over! Move on to a new one. There are, of course, some key points in this episode that launch the next arch in the Gallaghers’ twisted lives. Which is — of course — what always keeps me loving this show. So with my editorial opinion out […]

Annalise is back in action for the first time since getting shot, and we get a little bit further in her and Wes’ back story this week on How to Get Away with Murder. We start off with a flashback from 10 years earlier with Annalise visibly pregnant and what look to be an earlier incarnation of the Keating 5. This includes Bonnie, who appears to be, and this may shock you… the teacher’s pet. Annalise talks to Sam about having to reschedule her sonogram due to another trip to Ohio for a case. Back to present day and Annalise […]

Shameless Season 6, episode 6 recap – “NSFW”

Last week on Shameless, Fiona still struggled with trying to find a place to live, Nick got his precious bike stolen, Frank weaseled Debs and himself into a cancer family’s life, Kev & V had a dead bar and new kids, Ian tried to hook up with a fireman, and Lip’s secret relationship with Helene was blown wide open by Amanda.

How to Get Away with Murder Season 2 Episode 10 Recap: What Happened to You, Annalise?

O-M-G! How to Get Away with Murder is back. We start off where the mid-season left off with Annalise clinging to life after Wes shot her. Laurel takes the gun from Wes at the exact time Michaela came in the room. She takes the blame for shooting Annalise. As the cops are on their way, Wes takes the gun and plans to put it in the pool. Two weeks later, Annalise is home from the hospital, very much alive. She is in her PJs and looks drugged up, but still wants to testify in the trial. Poor Catherine is now standing […]
