Recap: Fargo Season 2, Episode 1 – Back in Time

October 12, 2015 Rachel Cericola

After a nail-biting, must-see debut season, Fargo is back on FX. Unlike True Detective, Fargo fans shouldn’t fret about this new installment. Season 2 is looking to be equally as addictive, don’t cha know. The first episode, “Waiting for Dutch,” opens with a snippet of the black-and-white film Massacre at Sioux Falls, starring Ronald Reagan (who should be showing up at some point looking a lot like Bruce Campbell). He’s not in the clip, though. Instead, it’s a conversation between an actor and maybe the director. It doesn’t really matter who they are because the landscape is way more interesting. […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 23 recap: Jane the Miracle

October 12, 2015 StayTuned Staff

So, who else is thrilled to welcome Jane the Virgin back for its second season? I could go on and on about how amazing Gina Rodriguez is, but that might get a bit embarrassing. So lets say that winning a Golden Globe for her role as Jane and the show being nominated for another Golden Globe for Best Television Series, Comedy or Musical is proof enough how wonderful this show is. We start off “Chapter Twenty-Three” where we left off last season: Sin Rostro took baby Mateo! When a nurse steps into Jane’s room to let her know she’s ready to take Mateo for his hearing test, Jane tells her that […]

The Affair Season 2 episode 2 recap: Meanwhile, in the Hudson Valley …

October 11, 2015 Lori Acken

Call this episode of Showtime’s The Affair — in which we get Alison’s and Cole’s take events of last week’s episode, and a disturbingly better idea of what may have happened to Scotty — for Joshua Jackson. By turns chilling and heartrendingly sympathetic as the beaten-down Cole, he is as mesmerizing as Maura Tierney was as the resolute Helen last week. No worries about a sophomore slump for Sarah Treem’s stunning psychological study with these two at the forefront, and Dominic West and Ruth Wilson as good as ever. We begin at Noah’s damn-near-cliché writers retreat by the Hudson, where he is late for that […]

The Knick Season 2 — Steven Soderbergh’s medical marvel returns to Cinemax

October 9, 2015 Lori Acken

If you’re a fan of director Steven Soderbergh’s beautifully rendered, Emmy-nominated period drama The Knick (and if you’re not, trust me, you should be), you know that no one was faring well when we left them at the end of Season 1. • RELATED: The Knick: Cinemax presents a lively look at race, sex and medicine in 1900s New York A cocaine-addled and guilt-ridden Dr. John Thackery (Golden Globe nominee Clive Owen) checked himself into a sort of turn-of-the-century rehab where the treatment du jour is the Bayer Company’s newest wonder drug — heroin. Embittered by his daughter’s death, the mortifying […]

October 7, 2015 StayTuned Staff

On the last episode of Empire, we saw Lucious score his “get out of jail free” card. Now he’s focused on getting his kingdom back to the way it was.

October 6, 2015 Lori Acken

The Flash Season 2 premiere recap: “The Man Who Saved Central City”

October 6, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

As The Flash Season 2 kicked off (following a quick overview of what happened last season), we find it is 6 months after the Singularity, and we can assume that Barry (Grant Gustin), as The Flash, is, indeed, as the title of this episode indicates, The Man Who Saved Central City. We learn that the city is holding a Flash Day in honor of the hero who saved them, but as Barry has flashbacks throughout the episode, we learn at what cost it came, as Ronnie (Robbie Amell) and Eddie (Rick Cosnett) both appeared to perish during the battle to stop Wells […]

“The Last Kingdom”: Violence, revenge, intrigue and the birth of England

October 6, 2015 Ryan Berenz

BBC America’s new eight-part drama The Last Kingdom will appeal to Game of Thrones fans, though the former lacks dragons, effective sorcery and the (likely) resurrection of dead primary characters. Based on a historical fiction book series by Bernard Cornwell, The Last Kingdom is set in ninth-century England. At the center of the story is Uhtred, a Saxon who was captured as a boy and raised into a man by Danish invaders. Amid waves of violence, revenge and intrigue, Uhtred’s loyalties are tested on his quest to reclaim his birthright. The journey will lead him to join King Alfred in […]

Recap: Blindspot Season 1, Episode 3 – One of the Guys

October 5, 2015 Rachel Cericola

Last week’s Blindspot ended with multiple cliffhangers. Did anyone out there think we were actually going to get answers this week? Tonight’s episode was definitely filled with all sorts of surprises. • Blindspot Season 1 Recaps: Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 4 Episode 2 ended with Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander, Kyle XY) having a surprise reunion with the bearded man (Johnny Whitworth) from her flashbacks. Instead of picking up where we left off, “Eight Slim Grins” opens on a shot of what’s in Jane Doe’s refrigerator. Maybe she’s taking a look at what she has on hand for more unexpected company? Actually, […]
