Recap: Blindspot Season 1, Episode 9 – To Kill a Character

November 16, 2015 Rachel Cericola

Blindspot fans: Remember when I said I wanted to see more of a certain character? Well, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind. In this week’s episode, one of my favs shows up briefly and it’s not a good visit. I’m guessing we won’t be seeing him again for a while. He’s not the only special guest star that’s losing access to the craft services, though. Read on for this week’s recap! • BLINDSPOT recaps: Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 | Episode 6 | Episode 7 | Episode 8 This […]

The Affair Season 2 episode 7 recap: The secrets mothers keep … and Oscar reveals another

November 15, 2015 Lori Acken

Well. And you thought your family holidays can get weird. This episode of Showtime’s The Affair spends Thanksgiving with Alison and Cole as both navigate the boundryless minefield that is their simmering emotions, their fragile family ties and what is and isn’t real in their hearts, minds and lives. Athena reveals a touching secret — and Cherry a horrifying one — but are both revelations too late to be of any help to their children at all? And Oscar drops a bombshell that feasibly connects a few more dots in the mystery of who killed Scott Lockhart and what the real motivation might be. It’s a midseason-finale-worthy episode— and […]

So long, Wicked City: ABC has slashed the show.

November 15, 2015 StayTuned Staff

In last week’s recap of Wicked City, I noted that the nobody seems to be canceling anything this season, including Wicked City … but the show’s abymsally-low ratings have caught up to it. No more killing for Kent Grainger … that character is dead, along with his show, after just 3 episodes. Wicked City‘s timeslot has, for the time being, been filled with Shark Tank reruns. Bye, Felicia.

Recap: How to Get Away with Murder Season 2 Episode 8 — Hi, I’m Philip

November 13, 2015 Scott Fishman

#WhoShotAnnalise? That is the million dollar hashtag questionat the cyber water cooler known as Twitter for the next week in anticipation of the How to Get Away with Murder winter finale. Before the big reveal we had one last stop on this crazy train with Bonnie as an obvious suspect. Evidence mounted when she basically wished Annalise was dead. Then during this week’s flashback, Bonnie looked to have been the one who sent Sinclair to her doom from high above. She was also absent most of the episode. However, devoted viewers of this steamy drama know better than to take the […]

Empire Season 2 Episode 7 Recap: Making History

November 12, 2015 StayTuned Staff

On the last episode of Empire, Cookie got frisky with her new head of security, Laz. Now it looks like she decided to do her work from Laz’s bed instead of actually showing up in the office. In fact, she hasn’t left his bed in three days. I don’t know if that’s romantic or creepy. I’m also still confused as to how she hasn’t seen this huge longhorn on his back — or be OK with it, if she has. After all, they did kidnap her son. At least Cookie comes up with the idea to host a summer jam […]

AMC’s genre-bending “Into the Badlands” lives by the sword

November 12, 2015 Ryan Berenz

It’s hard to pin a label on AMC’s new six-part action drama series Into the Badlands, premiering Sunday, Nov. 15, at 10pm ET/PT. It has the dystopian future politics of The Hunger Games. It has the antiheroes of Westerns like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It has the warrior’s spiritual journey of Kung Fu. It has themes of family bloodlines and ambition like in Game of Thrones or Shakespeare’s history plays. It has the moral codes of classic samurai films, and fight sequences reminiscent of The Matrix and Hong Kong martial arts movies. Into the Badlands fuses together […]

The Bastard Executioner episode 9 recap: “The Bernadette Maneuver”

November 11, 2015 Lori Acken

It would be easier to accept that there is but one more episode of The Bastard Executioner Season 1 if a Season 2 was confirmed and there weren’t so much ground left to cover. • The Bastard Executioner Season 1 recaps: Episode 1 and 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 |Episode 6 | Episode 7 | Episode 8 Yes, I know … plenty of folks have railed against the show’s proudly bold blending of history and fiction, Annora’s weird accent and nature, and the brutality of the violence, particularly toward women. But not one of these issues is remotely unique to […]

Recap: Wicked City – Episode 3 (Should I Stay or Should I Go)

November 11, 2015 StayTuned Staff

Recap: Wicked City Episode 3 “Should I Stay or Should I Go” – ABC, original airdate Tue. 11/10/15 (For all Wicked City recaps, click here.) This week’s episode of Wicked City had a lot less blood (no killing, but yet another head in a box) and even less music than last time (come ON, I had “Should I Stay or Should I Go” in my head all day today, and it wasn’t in the episode at all). The ratings on this show aren’t too great (but, if you’re keeping track at home, the networks are pretty much not canceling anything this season–at […]

Recap: Blindspot Season 1, Episode 8 – Let’s Be Careful Out There

November 9, 2015 Rachel Cericola

When we last left the Blindspot team, Mayfair (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) was about to spill the beans to Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) about Daylight. Are ugoing to be privy to that information? • BLINDSPOT recaps: Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 | Episode 6 | Episode 7 First, we need a little flashback. “Persecute Envoys” opens on a scene from five years ago. Mayfair is meeting Carter (Michael Gaston) and a woman named Sofia (Sarita Choudhury) in a random parking lot. The three have been called there to meet with the White House Chief […]

Recap: Fargo Season 2, Episode 5 – Leave it to Cleaver

November 9, 2015 Rachel Cericola

In this week’s episode of Fargo, the war between the Kansas City mafia and the Gerhardts kicked off with a bang. Well, it kicked off with a whole lot of bangs and at least one meat cleaver. I’d say it was definitely worth the wait. Okay then. Let’s get to the recap! • FARGO Season 2 recaps: Episode 1 | Epsiode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 After weeks of fictional Ronald Reagan movies, the fictional version of the 40th President of the United States was in the house – or at least on-screen (and played by Bruce Campbell).
