The Astronaut Wives Club: The women who stood by their spacemen

June 11, 2015 Ryan Berenz

With the number of delays and creative changes ABC’s The Astronaut Wives Club has seen, one would think the producers were actually trying to land men on the moon instead of making a TV drama about the wives of the men who did. Originally planned to launch summer 2014, the show went back to the drawing board and all systems are go for a June 18 liftoff on ABC at 8pm ET/PT. Based on Lily Koppel’s book, the series follows seven military wives who became overnight celebrities when their husbands were chosen in the late 1950s for the Mercury space […]

The Whispers Season 1 episode 2 recap: Hide & Seek

June 9, 2015 Scott Fishman

This week’s episode of The Whispers, titled “Hide & Seek,” is all about the hunt for more clues into understanding everybody’s new favorite imaginary friend Drill and finding the mysterious John Doe, Sean Bennigan (Milo Ventimiglia). However, before we move forward, a flashback is given from three months earlier in the Sahara Desert where a kid is playing with a toy truck. He witnesses a flash of fire in the sky, and of course, goes to investigate (that’s never a good idea.). He follows the light where he finds Bennigan’s nametag and giant footprints (Godzilla? T-rex of Jurassic Park fame?). We […]

UnREAL episode 2 recap: We’re having a ball! And a baby! And a funeral!

June 8, 2015 Lori Acken

In last week’s UnREAL series premiere, we learned plenty of the not-so-secrets that got Rachel Goldberg booted from — and invited back to — the Everlasting set. This week, we learn that secrets abound in the Everlasting control room — and not just in Dr. Wagerstein’s folder. And they go a long way in explaining why some of these folks have no problem waging war on love for the sake of a paycheck. Namely, their own broken hearts. We start the episode with an interesting lesson in on-the-fly hygiene from the intrepid Rachel (toothpaste as pit-freshener!) who has apparently taken up […]

Devious Maids Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: A blast from the past and new beginnings

June 8, 2015 StayTuned Staff

On this episode of Devious Maids, things only seem to get weirder and weirder — especially when we’re dealing with the Stappord family. For whatever reason, Blanca stays at the Stappord’s house after to clean up the mess after she’s just discovered what looks like a murder scene. As she’s scrubbing hard at the carpet, she’s praising Mrs. Stappord for how brave she is. (Am I the only one who was yelling at Blanca to stop this ridiculousness and open her eyes?) Apparently Taylor told Blanca that a robber broke into the house and she only had a short amount of time to […]

Power Season 2: A race against time for Ghost to go legit

June 6, 2015 StayTuned Staff

In Season 2 of the gritty, drug-dealer-who-wants-to-go-legit drama Power, James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) must double down on his drug business to save his nightclub, which is his only path to a legitimate future. But Ghost has betrayed some of his closest allies, including his best friend Tommy (Joseph Sikora). “I think it’s for the first time ever in Tommy’s life that he has ever thought, ‘Ghost might be out to get me.’ … He thinks that he might have gotten duped and dunked. So he’s heartbroken,” Sikora says. Ghost’s conflicting professional life is further complicated with his two women — […]

We talk with the boss! Mary McDonnell gives Major Crimes season 4 preview

June 5, 2015 Barb Oates

Come on, major crimes division — how could you have let Phillip Stroh get away on that deal? We last saw the sadistic killer escaping via Uber. Season 4 of Major Crimes is themed around courage and we will see more shakeups in relationships, more Flynn and Sharon, and, yes, more Phillip Stroh (Billy Burke). We talked with Capt. Sharon Raydor — Mary McDonnell — on what to expect this season as Major Crimes returns Monday, June 8 at 9pm ET/PT. Obviously Phillip is still around, so what can you share on that? There is a Phillip Stroh element to […]

Aquarius recap: “Never Say Never to Always”

June 4, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Manson sings! We get to hear Charlie (Gethin Anthony) cut his demo tape in this episode (along with Emma, Katie and other young women on backup vocals), all made possible through the kind donation of Emma’s father, Ken’s (Brian F. O’Byrne) $2,000. When we meet Ken at the start of this episode, he is ashamedly dressing after his encounter with Charlie, and flings the second half of his money to Manson before leaving in the wee hours. But not before Emma (Emma Dumont) notices her old man speeding away, and she seems concerned. Later on, when Charlie shows the girls the […]

Mollee Gray Gets Dramatic in Lifetime’s “Double Daddy”

June 4, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Mollee Gray is known for playing happy go lucky Giggles in the Disney Channel Original Movie, Teen Beach Movie and the upcoming Teen Beach 2, or for dancing her way to the Top 8 in Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance. But now the actress is about to take on her most challenging role yet as the star of Lifetime’s original film, Double Daddy. Mollee took a few minutes to chat with me about her first dramatic part, and as you can imagine, the perky actress is thrilled. “It’s so unreal to me. I’m stoked!” she exclaimed. In […]

Matthew Modine on TNT’s “Proof” and life after death

June 4, 2015 Barb Oates

What if you had all the money in the world and all you wished for was one question to be answered? Cancer-stricken billionaire Ivan Turing has a short time left on Earth and needs to know if death truly is the end, so he sets out to hire his own researchers. That’s the premise behind TNT’s new thought-provoking drama Proof, starring Matthew Modine and Jennifer Beals. “He, like Steve Jobs, began his business working out of his garage, tinkering, building things that the world has never seen or imagined before, and he’s parlayed that into an incredibly successful industry,” says […]

True Detective Season 2 star Taylor Kitsch: “I’ve never walked away from something as excited and proud as I am of this”

June 2, 2015 Lori Acken

Praise and pity for True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto. The first season of his mega-award-winning HBO drama was widely (and justifiably) trumpeted as unlike anything else in TV history, luring Matthew McConaughey back to the small screen and blowing viewers’ and critics’ minds with a spine-tingling mystery that turned water-cooler talk into an impromptu psychology class. So how would the guy handle Season 2? The short answer: Move the series to California and assemble an even larger A-list cast into an intricate tale of cops, career criminals and politics that, like Season 1, unravels from a single, strange murder. Though […]
