We talk Humans on AMC with William Hurt!

June 26, 2015 Lori Acken

“The best reason to make machines more like people is to make people less like machines,” declares a scientist in AMC’s intriguing new drama Humans. Sounds kinda great, doesn’t it — genial, talking and walking Siris to do the housework and other drudgery that keeps us from the stuff we really long to do? But what if there comes a point where we create technology so sophisticated that it no longer requires us to advance and repair itself — a theory dubbed the Singularity by mathematician John von Neumann in 1958? What is the incentive to excel in school or […]

Interview: Billy Burke of CBS’ “Zoo”

June 24, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Nature runs amok in CBS’ new thriller Zoo, which is based on the bestseller by James Patterson and is about violent animal attacks against humans that begin sweeping the planet. Costar Billy Burke, who explains that from his understanding the show is “loosely” based on Patterson’s novel, says his role in Zoo is different from his last regular TV starring role, in another dystopian drama, NBC’s Revolution. “It’s not nearly as active as Revolution,” Burke tells us, “where I was in a fight to the death pretty much daily. I’m the scientist in this show. [My character] Mitch likes to […]

The Whispers Season 1 episode 4 recap: “Meltdown”

June 23, 2015 Scott Fishman

Kylie Rogers continues to shine in the role of Minx Lawrence, one of the key children controlled by an imaginary friend named Drill. She is the right amount of cute and creepy. Minx at one point says, ‘I don’t think grownups really know what’s going on, even though they say they do.’ This proved exactly true as all key parties converged to the power plant (I kept thinking Homer Simpson would be found in one of the rooms there.). Anyway, Minx meets Henry in his house and tells him Drill has one more game for him to play. A scavenger […]

UnREAL recap “Wife”: What happens in Napa …

June 22, 2015 Lori Acken

In an episode that belongs — Be. Longs. People — to Constance Zimmer, we find out just exactly how much Chet has taken from Quinn, just how far Adam will go for his financial independence and, quite possibly, just how little Rachel has learned from her on-set dalliance with Jeremy. But first, let’s finally let our intrepid host, Graham, get in on the Everlasting action — literally (and likely not for the first time). We open the episode with him practicing his dramatic “final ten contestants” monologue to an audience of one — a recently booted contestant hoping he’s her ticket back […]

June 22, 2015 StayTuned Staff

This is the first time the two have met to talk since the wedding incident that left Rosie unconscious. Rosie shows Ernesto a picture of their boy, Miguel, and lets him know that he’s doing well. She’s just not too sure what to tell Miguel about Ernesto because she herself isn’t certain what the heck is going […]

5 Questions with Breeda Wool, who keeps the “Faith” in Lifetime’s UnREAL

June 22, 2015 Lori Acken

However tempted you might be to feel sorry for Faith, the painfully insecure, churchly tomboy virgin on Lifetime’s Monday night The Bachelor sendup UnREAL, actress Breeda Wool, who plays her, hopes you’ll take a page from “Everlasting” suitor Adam’s playbook and have a little faith in Faith. “I’m very inexperienced at dating in general,” Wool explains of her character’s fish-out-of-water nature (secrets are looming!) — which makes her a natural target for Everlasting’s pitiless producers and her fellow contestants. “My grandmother, church and little country community really pushed me to go on the show so I could blossom as a […]
