It’s two days before her graduation and instead of getting ready for the celebration, Jane is faced with yet another dramatic life decision.

Better Call Saul episode 2 recap: Crunch time!

February 9, 2015 Lori Acken

The first lesson of Better Call Saul! episode 2, “Mijo,” is that you do not call Tuco Salamanca’s grandma a “biznatch.” You do not. You can call the cops. You can demand dinero. But you do not. Call. Grandma. Biznatch. For Breaking Bad fans, this goes without saying. For those of you new to Tuco and his business methods, this episode is all about where it lands you. We backtrack a few moments from the conclusion of last night’s series premiere. With the twins towering behind her and everyone looking hard at Tuco, Abuelita whimpers with worry. Tuco sends her up to watch […]

Better Call Saul! premiere recap: Did you ground yourself?

February 8, 2015 Lori Acken

Turns out Breaking Bad’s fallen jurist Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) wasn’t just a’kiddin’ when he offered this assessment of his future before climbing into Ed the Extractor’s van in the series’ penultimate episode: “Best case scenario, I’m managing a Cinnabon in Omaha.” In the black-and-white opening moments of Better Call Saul!, Odenkirk’s new AMC series from Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, we discover that that is just exactly where Goodman ended up — massaging giant wads of dough into sticky, high-cal treats and looking entirely unconvinced that his wire rims, hefty mustache and expanding bald spot can mask his identity from whatever […]

Adaptation of Australian series “The Slap” comes to NBC

February 6, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

You may have found yourself, over the years, in situations where you have been tempted to reprimand another person’s misbehaving child. While most of us would keep such inclinations to ourselves, the premise behind the new NBC miniseries The Slap follows the fallout of what does happen in such a circumstance, and how it turns out to be about far more than a slap. Zachary Quinto is among the stars of the series, which is based on a 2011 Australian TV series of the same name (itself inspired by Christos Tsiolkas’ 2008 novel). Quinto plays Harry, who slaps another couple’s […]

In what is touted as his first music-driven drama since the 2001 hit Moulin Rouge!, Baz Luhrmann will be bringing the 13-episode, one-hour drama The Get Down to Netflix in 2016.

Allegiance: NBC’s Slick Spy Thriller

February 5, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Wiretaps, car chases, clandestine meetings and brutal Cold War-era assassinations — and that’s just the first episode. NBC’s twisty spy thriller Allegiance pulls viewers into the world of America’s fight against espionage and one family who is embroiled in the fight from both sides. Alex O’Connor (Gavin Stenhouse), a rookie CIA analyst specializing in Russian affairs, learns that his parents (flawlessly played by Scott Cohen and Hope Davis) are former covert Russian spies reenlisted by the Kremlin to plan a terrorist operation inside the United States. Now he has to decide where his loyalties lie — to his family, or his […]

The Walking Dead returns Sunday: Can the group regroup in the wake of new losses?

February 4, 2015 Lori Acken

Quick catch-up, Walking Dead fans. When Season 5 reached its wrenching midseason finale in November, we’d lost Bob and Beth, the safety of the church and all hope for a cure in Washington, D.C., to assorted bad decision-making — and discovered we hadn’t lost Morgan (Lennie James) after all. So what does that mean for the Grimes crew moving forward — especially poor Maggie (Lauren Cohan), who has watched every last member of her family die horribly? “We’re going to see Maggie in a way that we’ve never seen her and, I think, fighting a dark side that she’s always […]

February 4, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

It’s becoming a golden age for superheroes not only on the big screen — with Marvel’s cinematic universe doing gangbusters at the box office in recent years, including this year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron poised to explode, and DC looking to emulate that starting next year with Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice — but also on the small screen, with hits like The Flash and Arrow on The CW, and CBS’ upcoming Supergirl. Netflix is also getting into the superhero game beginning with the original series Marvel’s Daredevil, with 13 one-hour episodes premiering on April 10 at 12:01am PT (in all territories where Netflix is available), streaming in 4K.

February 3, 2015 StayTuned Staff

On Chapter Twelve of Jane the Virgin, Rafael’s sister, Luisa, asks for Jane to accompany Rafael for a therapy meeting.
