Jane the Virgin Chapter 26 recap: He’s the One

November 2, 2015 StayTuned Staff

Jane and her bestie for life Lina have started to drift apart ever since Jane had Mateo. Now that Mateo runs Jane’s life, Jane can’t remember things like Lina’s birthday party, which she promised to plan. Looks like this week’s episode of Jane the Virgin will show you how to keep your friends after having a baby. Jane still hasn’t told Rafael how she really feels ever since they kissed. When he texted her that he wanted to kiss her again “very badly,” she could only think of sending a wide-smiling emoji. I doubt that sent any clear message to […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 2 Recap: Stronger Together

November 2, 2015 Scott Fishman

In this week’s episode of Supergirl on CBS, Kara (Melissa Benoist) quickly learns that having super powers and being a super hero are two different things. We pick up a week after she revealed herself to National City as Supergirl and she tells us it’s going pretty well. Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) isn’t impressed. He says there are very rigorous requirements to be a field operative for the DEO and right now Kara’s airborne mph isn’t meeting them. She wonders if he’s being so fussy because she’s a … woman? …. nope. An alien. Kara finds herself in a situation those who have extremely […]

Esquire’s “Spotless” is dark, irreverent and terrific

November 2, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Spotless, Esquire Network’s first scripted series, is actually a show that has been acquired from Canal+ in France, where the series first aired earlier this year. So while not technically “original” for the network, it is definitely worth checking out. Co-created by Shameless (the British version) writer Ed McCardie and CSI producer Corinne Marrinan, the series combines elements of those two shows in unique ways, throwing in dark humor in some of the grimmest of situations, usually murders and other crimes. The show also resembles Dexter and Breaking Bad in ways, with some gruesome scenes not for the squeamish, as […]

“Flesh and Bone” on Starz: And you thought “Black Swan” was dark

November 2, 2015 Ryan Berenz

For all the beauty, grace, skill and artistry of a ballet performance, the dancers themselves are often perceived as hypercompetitive, treacherous, chain-smoking, drug-addled, maladjusted bulimics with gross feet. The new Starz limited drama series Flesh and Bone (Sundays at 8pm ET/PT beginning Nov. 8) probably won’t help change that image. The story centers on Claire (Sarah Hay), a talented dancer who flees a deeply disturbed life in Pittsburgh to join an elite ballet company in New York City. She impresses the director and is chosen as the prima, which draws the ire and envy of her colleagues and the lust and […]

NBC’s Chicago Med joins Chicago Fire and Chicago PD

November 2, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

“The aim here is, every week, if you watch the show, you will get at least one piece of medical information that you probably don’t know,” said producer Dick Wolf at a recent press conference to discuss his new series Chicago Med. The third entry in NBC’s successful Chicago franchise (with Chicago Fire and Chicago PD), the new series will follow Wolf’s formula of “ripped from the headlines”-style drama — mixed in with personal drama, of course. Some of the cast, including Nick Gehlfuss and Oliver Platt, as well as their characters’ trauma center setting, was introduced in an episode […]

Recap: The Affair Season 2 Episode 5 — Do you see me?

November 1, 2015 Lori Acken

Here’s the thing about a fiery romance (and, oh, aren’t they all at the get-go?). Eventually most cool into something more … temperate. Practical. A durable partnership warmed by the embers of that earlier passion if the pairing good. A daily disappointment if it’s not. In the fifth episode of Showtime’s The Affair Season 2, we see Alison’s and Cole’s take on a day that demonstrates this — and though we don’t see the same events from differing perspectives, what happens to each gives aching insight into who these two people really are at their core. If we believe what we see. We start with Alison, who, […]

Saints & Strangers: Think you know the Thanksgiving story? We’re on set as NGC tells the real tale

November 1, 2015 Lori Acken

The two-night event Saints & Strangers premieres Sunday, Nov. 22, and Monday, Nov. 23, at 9/8CT on National Geographic Channel. Vincent Kartheiser is doing his best to be patient. Sporting coarse Pilgrim garb, a full beard and shoulder-length tresses (no Mad Men, this!) as Plymouth Colony leader William Bradford on NGC’s Saints & Strangers, Kartheiser finds the speech he is about to deliver — one arguably launching American free market commerce — interrupted by a loud buzzing sound emanating from somewhere on the Stellenbosch, South Africa, wine farm on which the project’s main sets are nestled. The buzzing stops. Kartheiser […]

Recap: How to Get Away with Murder Season 2 Episode 6 — Two Birds, One Millstone

October 30, 2015 Scott Fishman

The puzzle for this game of How to Get Away with Murder Clue acquired a few more pieces in another jaw-dropping episode last night. We begin with a flashback to two weeks prior with an emotional Frank by Annalise’s side as she is taken into the hospital. His demeanor changes as he heads back to his car, which just so happens to have a dead (or so we think?) Catherine in the back seat! Fast-forward to present day where Frank and Laurel just wrapped up another round of bedroom Olympics. Frank heads for the shower, leaving Laurel snooping around his phone and […]

Recap: Wicked City – Pilot Episode

October 27, 2015 StayTuned Staff

Recap: Wicked City Pilot – ABC, original airdate Tue. 10/27/15 (For all Wicked City recaps, click here.) It’s August, 1982, and we see Kent Grainger cruising down the Sunset Strip – that wicked, wonderful world of excess and debauchery – to the tune of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself.” He spends some time at The Whisky a Go Go (the club that gave so many bands their big break). In the ladies’ room of that same club, a pretty young cokehead (Emily) brags about a real estate bigshot she just met, alongside Karen McClaren, a beautiful, young, non-coked-out lady who just doesn’t […]
