Wait, Jackie’s a nice lady … Nurse Jackie recap Season 7 Episode 4

May 3, 2015 Barb Oates

Nurse Jackie recap Season 7 Episode 4 “Nice Ladies” (original airdate May 3, 2015) We start in the courtroom where Jackie’s attorney Barry Wolfe (Mark Feuerstein) is making his case. He starts by explaining how Jackie is “a nice lady.” Ahem, what? Oh, yes. Remember how she was on her way to help Hurricane Penny victims and then how she stopped to save another lady? “Is it any wonder that that one person, Jackie Peyton, took something to smooth the edges?” Heck, even Wolfe, pops a drug / alcohol combo before he flies, he tells the judge. “Gratitude,” Wolfe says.

May 2, 2015 Barb Oates

Outlander Episode 13 “The Watch” (original airdate May 2, 2015) The episode begins as if no time has elapsed, Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) in the foyer of Lallybroch with a gun pointed at his face by a group of bandits. Claire comes down the stairs and stares helplessly flanking one side of the room, Jenny comes around a corner and helms the other side. But it’s going to be a showdown “Taran put your gun down,” Jenny says. OK, so she knows the bloke. A good sign. “I found this scoundrel in here, Jenny,” Taran MacQuarrie (Douglas Henshall) tells. “He’s lucky […]

American Crime Episode 9 recap

May 1, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

There were some stunning developments on American Crime Episode 9. Biggest of all, Aubry (Caitlin Gerard) ended up confessing that she was the one who shot Matt and Gwen. But given her track record, can she be believed? There was also a surprisingly tender (for them, I guess) moment between Barb (Felicity Huffman) and Russ (Timothy Hutton). Before we got to that point, though, we met up again with the main characters in the wake of the march for Carter that turned chaotic, and violent. Images of the protest were shown, and probably couldn’t help calling to mind yet another […]

Penny Dreadful Season 2 a “make-or-break season,” says John Logan

May 1, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

“It is our make-or-break season, and we’re going for it.” So said John Logan, creator and executive producer of Showtime’s Penny Dreadful, at a press conference for the show’s second season earlier this year. The Victorian era thriller, featuring some of literature’s greatest supernatural characters, finds Vanessa (Eva Green) and Ethan (Josh Hartnett) forming a deeper bond as the group — including Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) and Sembene (Danny Sapani) — unites to banish evil forces. Meanwhile, Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), The Creature (Rory Kinnear) and Brona (Billie Piper) are all waging battles of their own. […]

Matt Dillon Leads All-Star Cast In Creepy, Genre-Bending Thriller “Wayward Pines”

April 30, 2015 Kellie Freeze

How do you describe the indescribable? That is one of the biggest challenges facing FOX’s 10-part psychological thriller, Wayward Pines. A secret service agent finds himself in an idyllic town, but upon closer inspection, he realizes that the residents live under a strict set of rules governed by a sinister, omnipresent force. It’s a premise eerily familiar to fans of the cult drama Twin Peaks, or even the short-lived NBC drama Persons Unknown, but Pines comes with a series of tantalizing twists courtesy of the show’s executive producer and director, M. Night Shyamalan. The series is Shyamalan’s first project for […]

Queen Latifah impresses as the Empress of the Blues in HBO’s gorgeous “Bessie”

April 30, 2015 Lori Acken

You don’t have to be a fan of blues legend Bessie Smith — or the musical genre in general — to fall in love with HBO’s Bessie. But oh, the experience that awaits you if you are. Twenty-two years in the making, the project was first brought to a young Queen Latifah — then a successful singer and burgeoning actress — by the prolific producing team Richard and Lili Fini Zanuck, who had tapped To Kill a Mockingbird screenwriter Horton Foote to pen the script. Progress on the film ebbed and flowed until it landed in the hands of writer/director […]

Mad Men recap Season 7, Episode 11 “Time & Life” (original airdate April 26, 2015): McCann Erickson has finally done the dirty deed, pulling the plug on SCP without notice – except the eviction notice on their two floors of the Time Life building, that is.
