The Whispers “X Marks the Spot” recap: Parents just don’t understand …

June 2, 2015 Scott Fishman

“Parents just don’t understand.” It’s not just a Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince hit, but a line that can accurately describe the paranormal drama The Whispers on ABC. The debut episode “X Marks the Spot” begins with young Harper talking to what is believed to be her imaginary friend Drill (what happened to names like Bob?). The six-year-old calls her mom up to a tree house after following instructions from Drill; the mom falls through the wooden floor. The strange case introduces us to FBI child specialist Claire Bennigan, who is going through her own issues. Son Henry is deaf […]

Devious Maids Season 3 Episode 1 Recap: Murder and a Baby?

June 1, 2015 StayTuned Staff

After keeping the Devious Army waiting for almost a year since the end of Season 2, Lifetime has brought back its hit show Devious Maids for Season 3. I’m sure everyone in that army would agree when I say that it wasn’t fair of them to leave us for such a long time with the cliffhanger at the final episode of Season 2! Happily, the premiere episode of Season 3 picks up right where Season 2 left off — a drive-by shooting at Spence and Rosie’s wedding. As everyone is outside of the church happily cheering the couple’s new journey into wedded bliss, an uninvited […]

ABC’s “The Whispers”: Something Wicked Is Coming, And It Wants Our Kids

May 29, 2015 Kellie Freeze

In ABC’s summertime thriller The Whispers, someone — or something — is manipulating our most innocent and beloved asset — our children — to commit the unthinkable. When several D.C.-area children start communicating with an imaginary friend named Drill and the mysterious games he convinces them to play turn dangerous, FBI child specialist Claire Bennigan (American Horror Story’s Lily Rabe) is called in to investigate. On the other side of the world, Defense Department operative Wes Lawrence (Revenge’s Barry Sloane) unearths a haunting and otherworldly geological phenomenon. And closer to home, a riveting and mysterious man named John Doe (Heroes’ […]

Aquarius two-hour premiere: Summer of Love begins to get dark

May 29, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

While interesting, NBC’s new drama Aquarius doesn’t exactly break new ground. In fact, the only original thing about it might be its distribution plan. Following last night’s two-hour premiere, all 13 episodes of the show are now available for binge-watching at NBC.com and other VOD platforms. “With Aquarius we have the opportunity to push some new boundaries to give our audience something no broadcast network has done before,” said NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt. “We are fully aware how audiences want to consume multiple episodes of new television series faster and at their own discretion, and we’re excited to offer our viewers […]

While it’s been long rumored that de la Fuente’s character will be Rosie’s long-lost first husband Ernesto, he couldn’t confirm the rumors. However he did express his excitement at being cast on Devious, because […]

Grace of Monaco premieres Monday night on Lifetime

May 21, 2015 Lori Acken

Despite its very public slide from Cannes Film Festival opener and much-anticipated theatrical release to Lifetime movie of the week, you could do worse than to spend the waning hours of your Memorial Day watching Grace of Monaco. Especially if you’re a fan of Nicole Kidman and her considerable knack for playing steely stunners. There. Permission granted to watch it and enjoy it. How you handle the rest is up to you. If you approach Grace as a sort of weird amalgamation of golden-hued rags-to-riches princess tale and G-rated political-intrigue drama/mystery — rather an accurate biography of the cool blond Hollywood ingénue turned misunderstood princess — you’ll […]

Interview: Grey Damon of NBC’s “Aquarius”

May 21, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Although infamous cult leader Charles Manson initiates the events of the new historical fiction series Aquarius, he at times is almost relegated to the background in the midst of other cases and events, though you can always sense his lurking presence as the Summer of Love begins its descent into the darkness that ended the 1960s. “[Manson]’s sort of this symbol, more or less, of the change that was happening,” says costar Grey Damon, who plays young undercover cop Brian Shafe. Shafe is teamed with veteran homicide detective Sam Hodiak (David Duchovny, who also is an executive producer) to find […]

UnREAL — New Lifetime dramedy examines the harsh reality of reality TV

May 20, 2015 Lori Acken

UnREAL premieres Monday, June 1 at 10/9CT on Lifetime. Can you be a feminist and still love The Bachelor? Better question: Can you be a feminist and admit to loving The Bachelor? Best question of all: Can you be a feminist and actually work on The Bachelor? It’s a lot to digest — just ask writer/producer/director Sarah Gertrude Shapiro. When Shapiro was in her early twenties, she spent a few years working as a producer on ABC’s reality behemoth during its fourth and fifth seasons (that’s the disastrous “Bob and Estella” and “Jesse and Jessica” for those of you keeping score).
