January 28, 2016 Ryan Berenz

The new hourlong comedy/drama You, Me and the Apocalypse (NBC Thursdays at 8pm ET/PT beginning Jan. 28), a British import, is the darkly comic look at a number of complex characters in a complex situation — a comet is going to collide with Earth in 34 days and end life as we know it. For some of the characters, that’s about the best thing that could happen. The series opens at Day 0, with Jamie (Mathew Baynton) deep in a fortified bunker beneath the suburbs of Slough in England. He’s among 15 people in the bunker who represent the future of humanity, for […]

The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story

#ACSFX: Courtney B. Vance recalls O.J. Simpson case, meeting Johnnie Cochran

January 28, 2016 Ryan Berenz

If you’re of a certain age, you’ll likely remember where you were the evening of June 17, 1994. Perhaps you’d settled in for a Friday night of watching TV when regularly scheduled programming was interrupted by aerial footage of a white Ford Bronco pursued at low speed by several police squads through an empty Interstate 405 in Los Angeles. In the back of the vehicle was football legend O.J. Simpson, charged with the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. You probably also remember where you were on Oct. 3, 1995, when the not-guilty verdict […]

Madoff on ABC: For Richard Dreyfuss, playing the disgraced financier is personal

January 28, 2016 Lori Acken

The two night miniseries Madoff premieres Wednesday, Feb. 3 and Thursday, Feb. 4 on ABC. • Missed Madoff Part 1? Find out how to watch it online here. In the early 2000s, Richard Dreyfuss had an epiphany. Disheartened by the scarcity of the meaningful, character-driven films he preferred to make, and appalled by the civil and political landscape in which his teenage sons were growing up, Dreyfuss decided to scrap acting and head for England’s University of Oxford to learn how to resurrect the vanishing civics curriculum in U.S. schools. “To me this was such an easy call,” says the Oscar, […]

Sarah Rafferty says “a crazy cliffhanger” will end Suits Season 5

January 27, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

Recently, at the Television Critics Association (TCA) winter press tour, I had a chance to sit down and talk with Sarah Rafferty, who plays Donna Paulsen on USA Network’s hit drama Suits, which returns for its Season 5 winter premiere tonight (Jan. 27). As the remaining six episodes of Suits Season 5 kick off with the episode called “Blowback,” Mike (Patrick J. Adams) — following his arrest for conspiracy to commit fraud — finds himself at the center of an investigation led by a ruthless government prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Anita Gibbs (new recurring guest star Leslie Hope), that threatens to bring down the […]

Blasts From The Past: 10 TV Series From 1990 to Binge-Watch Now

January 27, 2016 Eric Kohanik

Some years are certainly more interesting than others when in comes to TV fare. And 1990 certainly had a number of memorable TV escapades, for better or worse. It didn’t seem right to shine a spotlight on a young Sandra Bullock’s ill-fated starring stint in a TV adaptation of Working Girl. Then again, that wasn’t as big a bomb as the one that executive producer Steven Bochco dropped when he combined a gritty police-procedural drama with almost-laughable musical numbers in a show called Cop Rock. While those may be amusing binge-watch exercises, there are plenty of others that are also […]

Shameless Season 6, Episode 3 Recap: “The F Word”

January 24, 2016 Karen Ruud

Some pretty heavy subject matter this week — not that there normally isn’t. I also found this episode fairly moving, so grab some tissue just in case. Here’s the Shameless Season 6, Episode 3 Recap: “The F Word” and you can decide for yourself. Fiona: Not only does she wake up with some morning sickness, she discovers Frank’s new endeavor of renting out their yard to Mexican evictees who are a casualties of the gentrification of the hood and had their house snapped up over night. She then strolls downstairs to find a smorgasbord of food that Carl has bought. She inquires […]

Jason Ralph and Stella Maeve help conjure up Syfy’s “The Magicians”

January 22, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

While those unfamiliar with the books may dismiss Lev Grossman’s bestselling fantasy trilogy, The Magicians, as “Harry Potter for adults,” those who have become obsessed with the works know otherwise. And they should be pleased with Syfy’s series adaptation of the books, which begins Jan. 25. The concept of the series does sound Harry Potter-esque — it is set at Brakebills University for Magical Pedagogy, a secret upstate New York university specializing in magic. Here, Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) and other 20-somethings soon discover that the magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real, and poses grave danger to humanity. […]
